For about 6 years I've been cutting the ends off my cords & I ended up stock piling over 3,000 lbs of cut cords. When I went to sell them at the highest priced scrap yard they said that I didn't need to cut the cords because they pay the same for cut or non-cut. I really wasn't all that disappointed because of a couple of reasons. One I liked it because it was kinda therapeutic and two I had a couple hundred pounds of clean brass because I'd also get all the brass plugs I'd cut off. I'm not a professional scrapper, I do it as just a hobby. So loss of time & money is ok. For anyone else out there it does matter make sure to check your scrap yard before you put too much time into it.

Yo Ben! Good to hear prices are going up. .385 a kilo on pressing steel is great. Poly Prophet is still only getting 15 cents a kilo and he does all the hard work, to gather and bring in. Plus his fuel cost, driving around. Doesn't seem right. You didn't mention the price of copper but we'll know in the near future when you decide to take in a bin load or two. And to think, all those thousand and multi-thousand dollar computers/servers are just pennies on the dollar in e-waste and scrap. Some of your invoices though, are for amazing amounts. Your saleable PCs and laptops, are even more amazing. I'm always impressed. Keep On Scrapping!

I've been dismantling scrap electronics for years, but here in Germany it's only worth unscrewing the PC and collecting the mainboard, graphics card and hard drive for a scrap dealer and here you're not allowed to take electronic scrap off the street, just like that Forbidden and represents a theft by the law unless you ask the people who stole the things on the street then it's not okay otherwise it's the same with the garbage tons of containers if you are wanted to do this you will not be charged with theft even though it should be thrown away👍💪💪
