Scrap into Treasure.... Bank! Recycle equals Green! The Best Color....

I don't go to the yard for less than $4-500. I have 2 loads of prepared steel now. I just got back from selling non-ferrous, $600 ! And I work a fulltime job (industrial maintenance) so all my scrap is given to me for free!

[@ProjectShopFl]

Awesome, I wish all my scrap was free. lol

[@afineliner740]

Dr Derek at work looking after his patients 😄. That was some good micro-scrapping, considering it's not your preference. 👍

[@ProjectShopFl]

Thanks 😂😂😂

[@robertlivingstone3947]

[@ProjectShopFl]

Can't wait to see the totals for this load. I've been holding my scrap all winter. Waiting for good fall prices.

[@ProjectShopFl]

Thanks, Copper just dropped. I don't like holding it.

[@MidwestToolReview]

I’m very impressed with your attention to detail, in conjunction with your reclamation process. Very impressed!

[@ProjectShopFl]

Thank you!

those protection devices appear to be very large MOVs (metal oxide varistors) to protect against power line surges. Kinda like the ones in power strips/surge suppressors but whole building/house size instead.

[@ProjectShopFl]

Thanks for sharing

[@Alessandrospt]

@@ProjectShopFl I would never scrap that and other valuable items without testing if it's still in good working condition. I understand it can be very tedious and time consuming to test, when it could easily be scraped fast, but some items are very expensive even when sold second hand worth much more than scrap metal.

[@jerrysadventures8952]

great video once again

[@ProjectShopFl]

Thanks

[@MrWhizardsLizard]

You know by looking at the video I also noticed that you actually separate out your steel and apparently the yard you sell it to buys it independently from one type to another. The yard here in Central Florida do not discern against any type of Steel being better than the other it's all considered shred Steel going to a melt pile. So you literally just drive across the scale, weigh your trailer, dump everything and then come back to the scale. No fuss no muss because it's all just Steel.

[@ProjectShopFl]

They are ripping people off there are many grades of steel and when dealing with tonnage it makes a big difference

[@MrWhizardsLizard]

Now they do buy different types of stainless independently from irony Shred, or melt steel as most people call it. And I think if you had like plate or some kind of grade A or top-grade prepared steel they would give you a little different money but you have to take it to a different part of the yard.

[@ZAPATTUBE]

You got a great system.

[@ProjectShopFl]

Thanks

[@shentx]

You should try using one of the dewalt portable bandsaws. Would be a lot faster than the recip saw.

[@ProjectShopFl]

Thanks for the suggestion

[@shentx]

@@ProjectShopFl It's a game changer if haven't used one before. It cuts clean and fast. If you have, then I'm sure you know.

[@JonsDailyHustle]

Ill be making a scrap run myself very soon here

[@ProjectShopFl]

Nice hope it pays well.

[@MrWhizardsLizard]

Last guy looks shred Steel had never been so high. It's like 10 or $12 per hundred pound. Normally it's about half to two-thirds that much. I realize you look for the more precious metals but right now still is the quickest mover with the most pay.

[@ProjectShopFl]

Thanks for the info

[@randyboldt-8126]

If you Wentworth Air tools would it work better for you ? I know the initial cost of gearing up to air might be prohibitive, but it would keep your drill from overheating.

[@ProjectShopFl]

I have all the air tools already. lol

[@ScrapFatherScrapSon]

I get 1.68$ a pound for clean cu/al coils. That’s the highest I’ve ever seen it and that’s what I got 2 days ago. I heard copper went down 0.30$ in the last week on the market so I think it’s about to drop sharply at the yard

[@ProjectShopFl]

It dropped .20 real quick in Miami last week. I was 1 day late and lost .15 on 1200 lbs of Bare Bright 😭

[@ScrapFatherScrapSon]

@@ProjectShopFl yeah trading price on copper dropped .30 cents last week

[@maxmacdonald7174]

Micro scrapping is tedious but if you have the time why not.

[@ProjectShopFl]

👍 Very tedious. lol

[@rallyefilmer]

You know a lot of your no. 2 Copperbars, breakers and every electric switch has silver or silver plating ? Don´t know if somebody already mentioned.

[@ProjectShopFl]

Thanks, I do know that and have been saving up breakers to make a silver recovery video.

[@Atlantismonkey40]

Those big hub things with the insulation. Would it be helpful to use a heat gun prior to cutting the rubber insulation off? Very interesting

[@ProjectShopFl]

It's actually soft already just have to make the cuts in the easiest way possible

[@scottm344]

Hey I also heard a guy talking today in subway how he was bypassing scrap yards and sending containers of scrap overseas. If interested you may want to look into that, they pay the shipping cost and all the scrap you go through man it could literally change your life I believe. Your so close a major ocean port man it could really work out for ya

[@guyfawkes578]

Be quiet you commie.

[@ProjectShopFl]

Thanks for the suggestion

[@nznsi]

Don't EVER send scrap overseas!

[@scottfreedoms9584]

​@@nznsi Why? Just curious.

[@MeganNorris-Vburg]

It would be worse than defeating the purpose of recycling. Carbon footprint and we need it to use here.

[@harryverboom4032]

Big stuff is easy money Microscrapping is tedious and a bit timeconsuming but it also makes money for sure

[@damianstasek8946]

Micro scrapping feels good, helps save the earth resources from ending in a landfill. One mans micro scrap is another mans hobby.

[@ProjectShopFl]

If you just keep moving at a steady pace it not too bad.

[@shanesuthy]

[@scottm344]

You got Steve working on your box trailer huh. If not did you ever get it fixed

[@ProjectShopFl]

That was not my box trailer it was my land lords and he needed it back for a while.

Look at the Generac 25kW hiding back there

I have ben scrapping out way bigger one 75-100 kw stay tuned for those videos.

[@ScrapFatherScrapSon]

I’m Not sure why but I’m bringing in prepared steel and they are giving me “torch iron” 0.07 a pound seems wrong . Is there a difference between torch iron and prepared steel!?

[@ProjectShopFl]

Sounds fishy to me. I think it has to be under 4' and a certain thickness to be #1 prepared.

[@ScrapFatherScrapSon]

@@ProjectShopFl maybe that’s why because it was kinda long but it was rails from a massive fork lift or something

[@alexjeremiah8915]

Do you have any tips for finding the price of the day for a particular metal?

[@ProjectShopFl]

Call local yards.

[@joekyriakides9285]

How do you determine how much to offer the electrical contractor?

[@ProjectShopFl]

I call my buyer so I know what I am getting that day then call the local yards and match or bear the local price.

[@CHEESEMAN88]

I don't know what you guys are getting for scrap steel in Florida but I just turned in 1600 lb of steel at 135 a ton and got $108 total waste of time in my opinion if I would have turned in aluminum cans at sixteen hundred pounds I would have gotten $1481 yeah I know the effort is a lot more to get aluminum cans or extruded aluminum or cast aluminum doesn't matter the effort that I had to go through to get all the steel is not worth it kind of curious what y'all are getting for scrap steel in Florida

[@ProjectShopFl]

Scrap steel .10 lb for #1 and .8 lb for sheet steel. I don't like messing with the steel either.

[@williamdawson3353]

You used to process scrap with the concept of touching it once, now with the 'lets make $2500 idea you're double and triple handling it. Weight it, strip it eight it stack it etc. No profit in that or losing is more like the process. Go back to striping and processing and showing how much you can make. Also show and tell of your toys or whats wrong with them e.g. the crane and battery on the old trailer.

[@damianstasek8946]

He is just maximizing his profit and trying to reach a goal, while taking us with him. Thats hard work. And he has to edit. Give him a break!

[@ProjectShopFl]

Thanks for the suggestion, I knew going in It would be more work keeping track but I liked seeing how much I needed to make and trying to make the goal. It's also for the viewer.
