Biggest Scrap Delivery Ever! - Scrap Metal Everywhere

What a day for scrap metal recycling! I linked up with a friend for his first proper nonferrous scrap delivery and holy cow, I was not expecting what he rolled up in! Took care of that with a stellar result, and continued forward collecting scrap all over town. Big day!
Wire stripper I use: amzn.to/3sirg18
The motorized stripper: amzn.to/3y0JMuQ
The wire cutters I like: amzn.to/2T6j3OW
The grips I recommend: amzn.to/2QCJmYl
The melting furnace: amzn.to/3EGxT2q

Lol the 18th month of 2005. I love him!

[@thubprint]

Omg 🤣

[@ThisCharminManc]

Today is the day I do my first scrapyard run and it’s because your channel made me aware there’s so much scrap metal just waiting to be recycled. Let’s do the thing!

[@thubprint]

Nice! I wish you the very best, big payouts and clean workspace! 😆

[@wnytrashtrucks]

perfect response to " can I help you". We all know they are not actually going to help you

[@Gbienek1]

Love the response to “can I help you?” I get the same question many times while out scrapping. If it’s some heavy lifting, I’ll tell them “why thanks for offering….. grab that side and I’ll grab this side” 😂lol 😂😂

[@hughkelbie7413]

Wow honestly I got goosebumps seeing all the beautiful scrap

[@alanwilliams2452]

Time to watch your older stuff your friend was loaded ccrazy

[@SFStacker]

Oh I agree 100% for scratching that consumer itch. You get to spend your hard earned money, turn it into an asset that doesn’t depreciate, and you’re technically saving money. Sic Argento Libertas 🧐

[@zacklamprey4784]

That’s my name Zack

[@bruceblunderfield5431]

I love your motto of "Leave it better than you found it"! !! I'll tell you a couple more that I have "borrowed " , Sign on Michael Burry's wall:- " I am the Master of my Fate and Captain of my Soul!" And 1 other :- Go Woke, Go Broke! " . At 66 I clippers my hair every 3 days at 0 setting, but once had hair to my belt at the back!

[@thubprint]

Ahhh the reformed longhairs haha, I’m thinking about it myself. I love the hair but it’s not really doing me much good anyway

[@stephensmith3708]

That friend of yours had one HELL of a gold mine! Yes, get your truck back, my Crazy Canadian Bohemian Cousin!!!!

[@roadiez1]

Another good video from your channel! Nice dig’s you got on too. I’m not in the biggest income bracket so I can’t afford to buy one(even w/the Ca/US conversions). But if I could it would be right up on my list to help support you & your whole gig. I wait patiently for you to release the vids every week. Glad your modo is “Leave It Better Than You Found It”! I actually have a little bug in my ear that keeps gnawing at me when I get my scrap to do the same. Hoping your truck gets back on the road soon so you can make more cash for the “Thub/Whub” team.

[@trasieinkersole491]

Wow the first man got a great payout!👏👏 What good friends you have, the brass thingy is lovely. Well done helping your fellow scrapper get the best you could for him. Loved it. Thanks Thub. ❤️💙

[@trench124]

That's my viewing planned this evening

[@Wreck-Gar]

The answer to "Can I help you?" IS a smart arse answer. But it's GREAT so I'm going to steal that off you 😂👍

[@E-hab]

The truck became a story! I feel the car started to get beat up every big scrap haul. Looks like spring started in canada and my country started the summer already in over 30⁰ 🌞

[@DianaRea-nv8zc]

Always a fun adventure with you. Thanks.

[@dglass411]

Thubprint!! From one scrapper to another, I'd love to get the chance to get you something! If you'll let me! ❤

[@Sean-ws9je]

Some People Would Pay More Than That 😁

[@jonathanhege5029]

Thank you for the video, thub!

[@andyweins]

So much BRASS!

[@madlinerose5038]

Great to meet Greg. Is he a self-taught scrapper? Good variety in this video. Get your truck back soon!😊

[@user-cx3wi1tp1f]

Hi this is Glenn. Yes I am a self taught scrapper after using Thubs guides and videos to learn.

[@MattsAwesomeStuff]

I'm still second-hand angry at your mechanic for your cat getting stolen. Like, suppose you'd entrusted it to them for only 1 day. They said they'd do the work, you drop off the truck, they do the work, you get it back the next day. Odds the cat gets stolen? Almost zero. But when they choose to not get around to it for months, and it obviously hasn't moved and no one's watching it for weeks, and they take their time with it... to me... that says, from the moment you dropped it off until you got it back, they were responsible for the condition of the vehicle. They want to park it on a public road rather than a locked yard? Those savings are on them, as is the risk. But none of this "Oh, we'll wait months, but meanwhile not be responsible while it's in our custody". Then do the work the same day and give it back.

[@justinhulsey1423]

Dang my best turn in was $1,125.

Friday night entertainment

[@jazel39]

Oh my gosh how funny! I just got done going thru a pile of metal to pull out the non-ferrous stuff and it reminded me of your channel. I popped on here and saw you using a magnetic dart, I just used the same thing! Only mine was red lol kindred spirits…

[@Vandal-Vlogs]

For a second I thought they were paying $2500 a lb on copper rads but I read it wrong 😁✌

[@thubprint]

😆 there would be some serious competition in the scrap game if that were the case! Always nice to see ya Vandal 👊

[@bigcountryscrapper6885]

Great video

[@Derbyhobbiescrapper]

Great scrap mate

[@gravitybear]

That big brass bowl!

[@MarkH10]

I was clearly marked CabeTV going up a pole, so I said, "...well thanks, but without tools, safety equipment, and a License you will get a big fine, so I don't think you actually want to risk it."

[@user-ht5zw3mc4k]

We hope to see your truck back

[@Opinionatedguy1989]

You need a truck like that.

[@bestest7239]

hehe someone learnt me that we have only power over ourselves, very true

[@cocopufer5667]

I thub this the friends episode! 😃

[@anothersouljust8788]

Thanks for wishing me a good day around that 5 minute mark

[@thubprint]

It was nice meeting you!

[@williamralph8613]

Yep now thats a pay load 👌👍

[@bruceheckbert485]

I have been watching your videos for 2 years and I wanted to give you a heads up on a great video ( scrapitall) . The video was a great help and I went out to harbor freight and purchased a machete for $6. to try it. I did removed copper from 6 motors in 15 min. Please try it and pass it on I am 75 and a former toolmaker and saves me a lot of time. Good luck.

[@ProjectShopFl]

I had a set of 5 year old Michelin tires that looked brand new but with in 1 month I had 2 blow outs at 80 MPH (Trashed both my dually fenders) and a front tire got bubbles from rubber separating and belts breaking. I don't mess with that brand or used tires. lol

[@thubprint]

Oh man! I guess cheap tires are cheap for a reason? I’ll be sure to make the ad very cheap and very clear, not out here to mislead people. Thanks for saying hi!

[@hoktang1]

I learned that for tire even thought the look brand new they can go bad. Example for like spare tire are to be replaced when you replace your regular tires. The way tire go bad for not being used is. Threw the course driving the tires flex which cause friction causing them to heat up. So when the tire are used they stay malleable and soft. When you have then store not used they start to become stiff and brittle. Kinda like hard copper pipe and soft copper heat treatment. But unlike copper pipes you can’t heat tires up to make them malleable again.

[@zacklamprey4784]

Leave it better than you found it keep doing the thing

[@davidbrock-vs9px]

Awsome video Thub. I wanna start bringing steel ect ect to Calgary. I have app 5 to 8 tons or so of mostly heavier steel. ( I save up at a couple metal spots on trips to Cranbrook) People give me funny looks when im loading up as they think its not worth much. I also save and strp my heavier copper wire with large motorized stripper. Only problem i have is i live in the Golden area so it costs a fair bit to haul. I used to ship to Kamloops and did quite well. Anyways have an awesome day 😀

[@zacrobinson4188]

love watching these videos popping up on my youtube page!

[@williamralph8613]

Got £996 on last copper and brass weight in 😊

[@thubprint]

Nice work!

[@bobbywilliams3595]

Here in the. USA. 2ft.by 5ft.this.is the sacrp rat 🐀 😮😮😮

[@scrappirateroberts]

That was fun. Especially selling that guys tons of scrap. As far as packing cars is concerned, my GMC S15 pickup has been out of service these last 8 years. So I am feeling your lack of proper scrap vehicle PAIN. I know how tough it is running a scrap channel with a car! lol 🏴‍☠ JIM

[@richavic4520]

Was there enough volume of anything to get a commercial price? Additionally, I would put them to work when they ask to help. I used to have a treadmill motor, with plans to make a wind turbine. Ironically, a tornado blew it away.

[@thubprint]

That’s an even more cheeky reply, I love it 😆

[@MarkH10]

$2750 CAD not bad.

[@whatarewedoing0]

18th month? damn didnt know we added a few

[@ffooshtyneepz7030]

Heyooo

[@Ra1276]

Could have built a brass house with all that

[@John-jl3ky]

You sound just like Bob Vila in the early days of the show called This Old House. Even your body language and the way you move is very very similar, it's pretty cool actually.

[@kave9482]

Kinda, I see it a bit.

[@John-jl3ky]

@@kave9482 in certain videos I see it more

[@williamralph8613]

Got scarp wagon back G ?

[@hifiguy77]

What exactly is the 18th month of 2005?? 😆

[@wilhathaway1987]

Bro that’s a nice stainless pot. You could sell it for more money by itself than you would get for scraping it

[@thubprint]

Normally I’d agree but my friend was using it for dyeing textiles which removes it from food use, and she told me it developed a pinhole and leaks now

[@Tinguy88]

Wouldn't you get more returning batteries to a battery shop for the Core Charge?

[@thubprint]

My understanding is you need a receipt from a battery purchase for that

[@stevestevenson6816]

How often do you go to the yard to cash in ?

[@thubprint]

Myself personally? Well when I have the truck I’ll do a treasure hunt and drop the steel roughly once a week, but outside of that I probably do a “big” nonferrous run 3-5 times a year. It really depends what kinds of pickups/finds I get, when I need to make some space I’ll haul it in

[@JRTreeService-Firewood]

Not the 18th month of 2005 LOL only 12 months in 2005

[@E-hab]

18th week of 2005

[@johngastineau653]

Your friend has a green thumb. 🪴🪴🪴. That brass bowl would look great with a fern in it.

[@jackbarsamyan-qw9tt]

Just throwing this out there, everyone I scrap aluminum no matter how clean and shiny I bring it they still give me painted aluminum pricing on it, are they tricking me or is most scrap aluminum considered painted

[@shysonofficial]

yo man, fellow tattood scrapper here! I keep spotting your palm tattoo and would love to know what it is, if you wouldn't mind! Great videos, peace

[@thubprint]

Oh, thanks! It’s a depiction of a “Canadian silver maple leaf”, which is a 1oz silver coin.

[@shysonofficial]

@@thubprint Awesome, and quite fitting! Cheers for all the knowledge man your videos are very much appreciated

I think he could of sold those letters for a good chunk of money

[@thubprint]

Absolutely, just depends which letters mean something to someone

[@theaussienurseflipper.8113]

Don't sell the tyres, it's going to be very dangerous for the person buying them. People have accidents and died from tyres like that.. they recommend 6 years I might go 10 but even more than that especially the ones cracked that's that's danger mate

Why don't you scrap a car?
