How to recycle scrap catalytic converters £££

[@johngoodall7097]

Another eye opener Rob and Chris these rare metals are worth sending all the way to America!!! You lads are the only people in this field of You Tube that bother to show this side of the motor trade, and it is so refreshing for me anyway, even at my age, to see how things are done, Thank you, it is a privilege that I for one enjoy.

[@slickrick343]

A pikey turned up at my garage the other day and asked if we had any old cats lying around, my new apprentice turned round and said 'sorry mate were a garage not a veterinary clinic' I wet myself laughing, he's going to get on well here 😂😂

[@woodbine66]

Fascinating. Didn't realise they were worth so much money. I'm a plumber, so I'm always at the scrappy with tons of copper and lead pipe, copper cylinders, etc. Quality vid, thanks.

[@scorcha100]

You were driving through my neck of the woods 😁 thats good to know that emr buy that stuff for more money. I scrapped 8 car batteries at a local scrapyard and got £70 for them after being offered £4 each by the local scrap man. Does make you wonder how much they were really worth. Very informative and useful video that will definitely be handy for future car projects

[@johnstedman4075]

Yeah. But ways to beat these toerags include never parking on a dodgy street, or running a whip with very low ground clearance (Citroen XM?), or using a car with underbody cover panels which make the cats impossible to get at unless the motor is up on a lift.

Interesting video. A note to guys thinking of weighing Cats in, they need to be OE original manufacturers Cats to be worth anything substantial, the aftermarket ones are worth naff all as they are inferior & the recycling companies dont want them. Nice varied feature for the channel Rob :-)

[@michaelthom6005]

I didn't realise there would be so much difference in the value of each cat. It's a very quick and worthwhile cash turnaround for people like ourselves considering they are shipped abroad and processed after we've got decent money for them.

We're still lucky here in Moscow , the local Rusky hooligans haven't started the CAT recycling scheme at the moment, and no banter about Ladas not having CATS , just remember many cars stolen in the UK are left to soak for a week or so then shipped off to, besides other places Russia, so please keep your motors serviced as Ivan will appreciate it in the long run!!!!!!

That explains why Cats are being stolen from cars on a regular basis. I wonder if companies who buy them have some kind of check to make sure they're not stolen, not sure how that would work but something needs to be done to control the selling of stolen Cats.

you can easily get ripped off with scrap cats! .Well done for shopping around. Got really disillusioned with my local scrap yard they are paying peanuts & say cats are aftermarket all the time when I know they aren't. Interesting reminder what you said about steering racks etc. We used to collect the old type ALB (abs) pump units from Hondas & get £30 each for them. The companies would even send couriers to collect.

@@JimjamsZ it's a major problem in the USA too and the authorities there are trying to get serial numbers microetched into cats and other valuable components to counter the organised crime.
