25Kg low grade power board strip down

[@Celtic_Chronicle]

It's the extruded aluminium that I like. Great video mate. Everything I know about scrapping comes from watching youtube channels. I started my own scrapping channel myself so I'm always happy to support a fellow scrapper. Liked, subbed and 🔔

[@rixismetals]

Thank you , I like extruded aluminium too I keep it all to eventually melt down into bars , I’ll go check out your channel and welcome to the scrapping community 👍😁

[@Celtic_Chronicle]

@@rixismetals Thank you pal

[@SouthernScrapBucket]

Just found your channel. I'll be going through your material soon. Good video.

[@rixismetals]

Thank you , hope you see a few videos you like 😁👍

@@rixismetals I'm sure I will.

[@SamiJaaskelainen]

I do the same,I do go for silver contacts,ic chips and mlcc.my scrap yard doesn't buy boards so I scrap out boards to get something out of them and keep what I want.Aluminium capacitors in Australia is closed as domestic aluminum,so I get roughly 1,20 per kg.Extruded is 1.20.

[@rixismetals]

@@SamiJaaskelainen hi , nice to hear someone else scraps out there boards , my scrap yard in uk pays 0.70 for extruded and 0.40 for the aluminium capacitors, all the copper and aluminium I get of boards I keep and I have another KZbinr melt them into bars for me 😁

Good morning from Scotland .....could I ask you where you send your e-waste for refining cheers x

[@rixismetals]

Hi , I’m stockpiling at the moment the items that may contain various precious metals , there is a refiner near London that buy’s ewaste and any items that contain precious metals , they do a few different services they pay for items plus they do a service where they refine what you have then pay you for what was actually recovered from the items , I’ll be looking into that and speaking to them in the future and I’ll be making a video about what I find out ,plus after speaking to them I may send some stuff into them to be refined and do video on the refining outcome , I’ll have more in depth results on what items are actually worth collecting or even contain precious metals , hope that helps with your question

[@espjason]

Love too pick your brains and get advice on how to start doing this. How do you get the ewaste. I know you need the higher tier waste license and a weee licence which is expensive. Do you need a scrap dealer license as well.

[@rixismetals]

@@espjason I would say start of as a hobby before you think about looking into licensing well it depends on how you want to do it , if you want to got around looking for stuff on side of road or asking businesses about there scrap then you will definitely need a high tier waste carrying licence and a scrap metal license to start off with , but like I say start it off as hobby and tell friends and family the you’ll take there old and broken electrical / electronic items , then after a while once you set yourself up taking things apart then thing about escalating it up , hope that helps

Awesome brother I got new bench top today as well much bigger than my old one. One question how come you never filmed the fun bit ripping the boards down. Air chisel takes the effort out of it. Them tiny transformers smash with hammer and cut with snips right through the middle then the copper peels off quickly and easy. Awesome episode brother

[@rixismetals]

Hi bro , thanks , soon I will be doing more filming of the ripping apart , 1 was waiting till I had bit more room so I could get set up a bit better and have tools all set out easy to grab and don’t want to waist people’s time watching me fumble around finding different tools lol plus other thing is I’m still working me head around the video editing software lol 😁👍

[@rixismetals]

When I’ve got my new workshop setup I’ll have couple work area set up , I’ll continue to manually strip things down as I enjoy it plus I’ll have and area set up with compressor so can use air chisel too for when I want to get through things a bit faster lol

[@scrapitall200]

Awesome stuff. I love ewaste.

[@rixismetals]

Thanks mate, if you have anything you think I could do to improve my videos please comment 👍😁

Cool stuff, im still learning about ewaste

[@rixismetals]

Hi , ewaste if fun and interesting when you start getting into it 😁

[@brassbrothersmelting]

That's exactly what I like 😍

[@ScrappingScotland]

I'm a bit late to this one buddy but really enjoyed it and all the detail involved. I love doing power boards as well. Full of goodies and i scrap all those little yellow tape transformers too. They can be crap but they can also be great. I don't mind unwrapping some tape for a copper reward 😊

[@rixismetals]

Glad you enjoyed the video mate , boards are probably my most enjoyable thing to do out of all scrapping , got to say with the yellow tape transformers if I can see copper in ther I will do them but if all I can see is yellow tape and hard to see the copper I’ll throw them in the motors tub lol😁👍

[@SollersScrappingandDiving]

Wow I'm surprised at those numbers too. Your low grade price is great at 50p/kg for over here. The components all looked so nice though 😂 It isnt worth me filling my car with low grade so I've got no choice to cherry pick but this was a great video, very informative!! 👍

[@rixismetals]

Hi Sollers , hope you are well xx, I can get £1.20/kg for mid grade boards , I have around 500kg left of mix of low and mid grade boards I don’t sell them as I like stripping them down 😂😂 I’ve not done much over last few weeks as been busy plus moving my shed and in process of getting it set up as my workshop , should be finished over the next few days and I can back to scrapping and videos , next group of videos is a mini series stripping 50kg of low grade boards and see what get off them then most of the components are going down to Empire Finds ( other KZbinr ) and he melting everything down into bars , the mini series is going to be called “ Boards to bars“ which I personally think is a funny name for a mini series , wow sorry this is a long reply , take care and if you not fell asleep reading this long reply I’ll catch you and your next video 👍😁

[@scrapnjunk81]

I take off the aluminum and copper. Not so much anything else

[@rixismetals]

If I was going try just to improve the money payout that’s most likely the best way mate , I enjoys striping them down so for me it’s more the enjoyment then the value , the smaller items I’m stockpiling as when I have a decent amount going to send them to a refining company to recover all the precious metals, then I can say if worth stockpiling those 👍

[@scrapnjunk81]

@@rixismetals I not sure if I have a refinery any close to me. Will have to search that out

[@itsjustme356]

wow mate soooooo much here to scrap that's a lot hey big job brother

[@rixismetals]

@@itsjustme356 I love stripping boards , I’m starting recording me next video tonight , it involves 50Kg low grade boards lol

[@drinkintea1572]

Why KZbin, you are you showing me this when i like electronics and electronic projects 😭

[@BH_Nate]

You are not counting the stripped down boards you have left in the ending value

[@rixismetals]

The yard that buys board here don’t buy boards if they have been stripped 😕 I am in the process of doing a video that will be on here soon on doing 20kg of low grade boards where I remove some of the better item an increase the overall value and still be able to sell the boards

[@PIOWOL1]

bardzo dobra robota👍pozdrawiam z Polski👍

[@wrayevert6303]

Time also needs to be factored in here then sounds like overall will be a bigger loss. Appreciate your work to get to a conclusion.

[@rixismetals]

If someone is out just to make money then yes 100% sell the boards as they are if you have somewhere to sell them , not everyone has somewhere that buys them or maybe as shred then worth stripping to get the value out of them , I have somewhere where I can sell them but I strip them down instead because I love doing it , way I look at it watching tv you earn nothing so I rather spend that time stripping boards instead and do something I love doing , especially when I’m not lowering the value

[@alphathefirstone1222]

Great job on breaking it all down. it really show that low grade boards have a lot of value.. but brother.. You sound like you are MUMBLING. I CANNOT UNDERSTAND WORD you are saying.. I say that with not hate.. Brother speak up and clear .. you are mumbling.. Great job on the breaking it down..

[@rixismetals]

I just reviewed my video , by sound of it I forgot to turn on external mic so sound goes quiet when I move away from camera , I’ll try and speak up and speak more clearly , sorry if it sounded like I was mumbling when I talk

[@alphathefirstone1222]

no problem ...yet more videos on low grade depopulation.. there a lot of money on those boards...great video!!@@rixismetals
