It's one of my favorite places i've ever have done business with

@@Adventureswithmike1 I used to work for the shredder yard in Wind Gap so I never made it up that way too often but it did seem like a decent place up there every time I was there. in one of your videos you said you were thinking about trying to get out of doing scrap metal. why is that and what would you rather be doing?

@scrapmanindustries I been do scrap for 25 years and I'm really tired of it.. the money is crazy good but it beats the shit out of my body.. my hands are not good any more..

Yeah.. And I got rid of it right before the price is dropped

Wars do affect scrap prices. But the question you should've asked is, what are they doing with all the scrap?That's being produced by the war.. There's probably billions of dollars of metal That's laying around who's getting that?

⁠@@Adventureswithmike1 I bet once a war ends they probably go in and remove all the scrap. I feel like we might be heading into World War III given the present international situations. you could probably be a local area scrap coordinator if the US should get involved in the Middle East again (and Ukraine)

Out of the thousand pounds that I had Maybe 100$

🤣🤣🤣

It's only a payday because we do this for business, not for funsies. So Mike can bitch all he wants if he notices something that might be wrong. Too many people moving too much stuff is a no go for me. Nothing gets weighed or moved without my direct supervision. This is thousands of dollars, hours of hard work and sacrifice. I've never had a scrap yard tell me I can't watch everything be unloaded and weighed, it's industry courtesy. Sometimes they'll try to help the unloading process go faster, just speak up and tell them to wait if you don't trust them. There's other work they can do and other customers to help while you get set up for a transaction.

@thebadgeofshame3994 Yeah, it just getting when there's a lot of things going.. And it's just a painting, a butt to keep track of making sure everything got weighed up properly

@badge of shame What's the world coming to when I have to label all my light hearted comments as such ? Attention everyone I meant my comment as humerous and lighthearted ! 🙄

There are some

I used to buy Scrap metal from auctions.I haven't done it in close to twenty years.. Let's

@@noway-sk3yr I would say that it would be number 2 copper. As long as it didn't have any plastic on it

Ok thanks

@@user-ho2yk9bw3u One of the reasons why I don't clean them...

@@donaldvane4109 Lunchbox has been working on some home improvements. On his own house

@@ssweeps She's doing fine

@@ssweeps Yeah, california, this is like a concentration camp.. Has to be one of the worst states

@@ssweeps Yeah, my scrapyard is an hour drive away. Which is one of the reasons why I try to get a big load together And bring it in all at once

@@ssweeps Yeah, that's crazy.That wouldn't work for me..

@@Theodore_Fry It took years of hard work to set up the connections..

@@Adventureswithmike1 how did you start

Yes, there's good money if you can get the material. You should check out some of my videos. It's crazy what I get as a single guy..

That's awesome that you're up by me.. And most of my neighbors are really cool I actually live in an hoa community and nobody really gives a s*** what I do.. But there is one lady that lives behind me.That's a karen.. She's been told to mine her own business a few times

@@Adventureswithmike1 I saw your link to videos on Scrap Metal Group on Facebook and I watched all your videos and saw how close you were to me , small world man, you absolutely kill it , I love your hustle , I’m down in Marshall’s Creek area , I just brought a load of rims to Stanton’s , 194 rims , I saved for a year and I’m in the same boat I’m an HOA but everyone is cool besides one person … fuk em !!!

Lol..

@themccoyfamilyfun1378 The scrapyard I take it to pays me really good for them. even dirty.. This way I don't have to waste the time cutting everything off.I can just move on to something else.

@Dave1380-bq9fk We have stainless steel pots are usually shinier. But if it's something that I don't know, I will take a pair of cutters and try to cut the end. Of the metal, if it cuts fairly easy, it's aluminum. Stainless steel will not even cut with a pair of cutters, very hard material

@TimBray-xp9vw It is a lot of work to process this many tons of material a month.. A lot of people tell me I should break down the electric motors and compressors.. But that's a lot more time, and if i'm doing that, I can't go out and pick up more, thanks..

Not at the moment

@@ssweeps thanks
