Scrap Metal Yard Price Check

[@gregfridholm2136]

Copper melts brought me here. Street scraping and tear downs keep me here (love the Marathons). But there's something special about the unloading of the van. I love it! Have fun, keep scraping, and keep making the videos, mate! Thanks, from Indiana.

Yeah Bro ones you have the bug that is it its amazing

[@send2georgie_S2G]

Nothing relieves my stress than watching someone dump scraps and get good money for them!! Nice scrap vid Ben! Cheers and be safe!

[@spencerboehrns5522]

That yard looks so clean and run efficiently compared to the ones I go to here in the state of North Dakota.

[@scrappin4adream724]

I agree the one i go to here in South Carolina is horrible all the way around even prices

[@upsidedownguitarist6803]

Because in Australia we have a high standard in EPA for major corporations so they have to recycle min up to 90% of what they take I love doing this myself I rent a container so I can depopulate and tvs and boards and send my plastic and LCD mucrcury screens to planet ark and they make reusable stuff like garden beds and new roads with shredded glass and PVC and electronic plastic back casings etc

Hi Ben! You inspired me to start scrapping within the past week and it has really helped my lockdown blues. I feel useful again and have a purpose. It's all thanks to you mate so thank you so very much! Much love from the Sierra Nevada's!

Thanks for the videos Ben. Keep on scrapping

Nice prices!!! You made a good money for that, keep scrapping Ben, hope you have a good one! Cheers from Brazil!

Your breathing sounds messed up mate. I know it is hard to quit smoking however you have to try it. I sounded the exact same way for a while until I switched to nicotine lozenges/nicotine patches.

Nice Ben - I do enjoy your trips to the scrap yard. Hopefully will be doing my own soon! 👍😊

There is a yard near me, once a month I have to plug a hole.

Really enjoy the scrap yard videos and looking forward to the next marathon installment. Keep scrapping and stay safe

Scrap here in the states is down across the board. So I am glad I have 80 acres of property out in the country. I am just stock piling right now till it go up again.

Nice return on the scrap

[@thomashill3457]

I had to stop at 16:43 that is the weight of your van? If so you now know how much you took in . Where im at they don't direct deposit into an account you get cash. I know the weight of my truck so when i go across a scale i can tell how much i have on and can figure out how much money before i off load it it

[@geofffalbo5900]

because he brings in multiple items, they weigh each batch individually on skids or in the containers.

[@thomashill3457]

@@geofffalbo5900 not his first load it was what he called dirty pressed steel plus i have containers for different things in my garage are when they are full i have an idea if how much I'm going to get

[@michaeldupree5801]

Love your videos when you go to the scrap yet and get paid, I feel really happy for you!!

[@altafrahman2254]

Hello Ben, Just wanted to point out the difference this video made to your other videos. Its not even a day since this video is out and you already got 10K views. Compare it to your marathon parts where you need a week for that. Also see the comments below to see what people want to see. People love Scrap yard run and payday. I know your core business is processing but the pay day is the best. In your marathon videos somewhere you said you already sold some boards etc without showing actual yard runs, I was very disappointed. People not only like your processing skill, talkativeness, your plans for your garage and business but like yard runs and payday the most.

[@michaelbrumfitt]

👍nice payday you deserve it for the work you put in,get the cash while the prices are up👍

[@ellascyprus6184]

happy for you nice clean and organized

[@nexuseden1114]

Great video not to long great to see and learning alot, As an ex pc repair guy makes me cringe what we got rid of over the years, had no idea what metals where hidden in there. You commentary is great and interesting when you go onto other subjects great to here whats happening in Aus from England.

[@dr.a006]

I was about to turn in copper and brass a few months ago, then Covid made the prices drop. Now they bounced back to where they were and a little better. Just cashed in $500+ of mainly copper, brass, wire, aluminum. It was nice to not take a -25% hit. I wasn’t in a hurry back then so I held on to it.

[@amirshehzad5582]

Mate if you come to a scrap yard in England with a van full of TV screens they would throw you out lol

[@hannesH3]

I assume they weigh the truck before and after you arrive. So if you use the bathroom there you’ll earn scrap steel prices for your deposit..

[@elliotbull7924]

He has to get out of the truck when they weigh the van to stop people doing things like that

No, just the last trip

Okay, thanks!

Ben I'm Steve from the USA , copper coated aluminum wire is it worth scraping

would go as regular aluminum

[@j.m.74]

"This is clean steel" (5 seconds after tossing a computer case that had 2 Coca~Cola aluminum cans in it... into the bin) Ah heck, the yard probs don't care too much. I mean, 2 paper thin cans weigh next to nothing compared to all the steel that went into the bin. Nice to see you get a decent payday for all the stuff you do, and I'd bet you like seeing the yard a bit less cluttered.

[@OriginalNethead]

And the aluminum is worth more than the steel anyway. They'll toss it in the right bin later.

Mario Tibbrine it’s Victorian law, no more cash payments from scrap yards. This changed after years of people cashing in stolen copper.
