i got quite a bit of scrap copper piping to take in, should get a few hundred, was given it when the demolition lads and the plumber didnt want it as they were from a long way here in UK/ wern't from my area and couldnt be arsed with the hastle, so i had it all, even the site manager who is a female doesnt have a clue about scrapping metal hahaha perfect timing

[@Apophis1966]

Whenever there is a war, as is currently the case in Ukraine, large quantities of copper and brass are needed for ammunition production. That is why the price of these metals is so enormously high. In the case of steel, this is limited as armored steel increases only slightly due to the slow production. Steel for cars has been decreasing for years because they now consist of an enormous amount of plastic. However, the price of aluminum would have to rise over the years because it is essential for the production of electric cars. Kind regards from Germany from Werner Dipl. Ing. Rheinmetall Def.

Can you make another scrap marathon video where you scrap motherboards and other stuff too ???

[@anthonycolangeli4133]

I make better money breaking down the power source than selling them whole. When I worked at a scrap yard, one of my jobs was breaking down computers. Is any of the wire strippable? Where do you get all those computers? Computers are one of those items where the pieces are worth more than the whole. I love batteries. There is nothing to do but bring them in. That is a huge scrap yard. Really enjoyed the video.

[@user-hb5dv8vx7p]

You are probably aware of this. But if you see newer stuff (2015 and older i would say) that says Cisco on it i would look at the price online. As brand new Cisco switches can go for 50-60k on the high end.

Being unexperienced, I might have expected the batteries to be worth more. Still, a perfect reason to reduce / reuse / recycle ♻️

Why don't you move your car next to the bin when you upload it from the front doors? Or put the bin somehow to have access from both parts.

Hi Ben what is the metal cap used above on processor . Is tin copper or aluminium.

[@eWasteBen]

Tin plated copper, sell as #2 copper

[@youreaknob]

Wow. We get screwed in Brisbane. Just scrapped 2400kg of batteries and best I could get was 55c. One place quoted 30c. Even heavy steel is only $250/tonne. Your 69c for batteries would have got me another $330.

[@John-jl3ky]

I wish I could sell e-waste here in Indiana, but can only drop it off at a place that takes it for nothing, and then they make money off it. I was starting to take apart some servers and stuff but it takes so long, it takes an hour just to make $7 of aluminum so I'm not gonna mess with it, There are a ton of brass connectors though that I'm gonna try to cut off, They almost look like large earphone jacks in a way

[@ssweeps]

[@Mynameis7nad]

Do you top off your batteries with water for the extra weight? Almost all have an access covered by a sticker or plug and most srop working because they are low. Id top them and get another 10lbs

Getting rid of so much but how much space have you got at home lol looking forward to more street scrapping pups ,good video

[@sebrassino]

Ben, does your scrapyard really need the cable attached to powersupply? I know your boardbuyer didnt wanted the cables being removed but I doubt the scrapyard requires it? Or is it just you dont want to remove them.

Why dont you cut the wire from the powersupply so you get more insulated coppar wire

[@liamisboss2]

thats alot of work as the plugs from the wires of the power supplies would also have to be removed, time stripping stuff so it can be sold is more of a resource in the scrapping game than finding stuff to scrap

Those scrap prices in Australia are far better than what we get here in western Canada, even with your environmental tax, I just phoned for No.1 copper price and it's only 4.00 a pound Canadian. I live in a city of about 1 million. The majority (80%) of our Canadian copper gets shipped to the US so they're getting one hell of a bargain and it would be advisable to keep any copper people might have until copper gets revalued. Eventually that will happen because 80% of silver and gold comes from copper mining as a byproduct.
