Heat wave brings about an abundance of ceiling fans. Scrappers gold and other great goodies!

Hello scrappers and planet lovers. In this video, I will show you all the great copper, zinc cast, tin, and other metals that can be found from scrapping a ceiling fan. I will also answer the question if “separating the copper from the motor is worth it. I will show you how to safely and effectively identify and separate the metals in order to maximize your profit and divert as much of the material away from the landfill as possible.
Here is the link to the full breakdown of a ceiling fan:

I'm really enjoying watching your videos. I was a scrapper full time about 7 years ago and loved it. I went through some life changes and quit diving and got a job. Last week I decided to pick it back up because of our financial situation and I'm having a blast! I didn't realize how much I missed it! I'm still having trouble telling the difference between cast Zinc and Aluminum though. Thank you for all of the information you provide!

[@ratdetecting4780]

Cast zinc is normally heavier than aluminium

[@Zizarkis1]

@@ratdetecting4780 Thank you for letting me know that. I have honestly never thought to test the weight. Sometimes it's the simple things lol

[@TinManScrapper]

Thanks for the comment. Yeah, hard to stay away since It is almost unavoidable where I am driving around. Hard to pass up too. Stay well and happy scrapping.

@@TinManScrapperthat’s for sure. It bugs me so bad to be driving past scrap!!!

Final weights: 1 motor with copper (4lbs 3 oz x $.052 = $2.18) broken down (3l s 6 oz x $0.12 = $ 0.41) + #2 copper (13oz x $5.23 = $4.25) makes it total $4.66 apart. Note final copper from the 5 fan motors 3lbs 6 oz.

Thanks for the info brother have a good one be safe

Thanks, you too.

Thanks for the video, very informative. I was wondering if it is worth it. As far as I can say for my area, we are still not getting the prices everyone else is. Our yards are just not wanting to give prime for scrap. Take care and I will see you on the next video.

[@TinManScrapper]

You could also stockpile the copper and once you have a big load drive it to a scrapyard a little ways away. Not sure your situation but I will bring my lower priced items to Sarnia (20 mins. away) and copper, brass, gold circuit boards, extrusion, wire, etc to London 50 mins. away. The price is well worth the gas on the vehicle.

[@darrenoftheNorth]

Love the tips and tricks my friend. Id love to learn how you clean copper wire and motors for time efficiency. Or is it all just speed. Happy canada day.

[@TinManScrapper]

Speed and repetition is the big ones. A grinder also is nice because it does help cutting down wear and tear on your body.

Great video unfortunately we don't get any ceiling fans is this part of the world

[@TinManScrapper]

Too bad, but thanks for the comment and watching.

[@silver_salvage_savage]

I wonder if I crossed over into Canada, could I scrap my brass and copper over there? You're getting a WAY better price even after the exchange rate. I get $2/lb for clean yellow. Only getting $3.30/lb for #2 copper..... Also, I recently opened over 30 sealed units and the only ones that were aluminum windings were the mini fridge motors. Had 3 and all 3 were aluminum. They were the only ones.

[@TinManScrapper]

Not sure if you would have to claim as income, but if you could the prices in London, Ont. are worth the drive.

[@aaronredinger9689]

I like your videos. Very informative. However I have never seen a trampoline pole that was a quarter inch thick.

[@TinManScrapper]

Thanks for the comment. Yeah, trampoline poles are not exactly 1/4 inch but it would be in same category as other steel poles and pipes.

[@daaam2160]

The part that you mentioned as steel at 6:49 has aluminium. Why not sell that as irony aly?

[@WilhelmFreidrich]

That's ironic.
