Scrap metal - How to make money Scraping & Recycling Metal , Tricks and Tips

[@internethandler5462]

I have learned more in the 5 minutes in this video, then any other scrap vids. Thank you

[@krisraps]

Scraping In My Mind Is More Exiting Then Mining For Gold In Caves And Stuff.. Because You never Know What Peoples May Throw It Out, Its Amazing And Exiting ! Love These Guys, Keep It Up..

[@ChaseTerrier]

I know after Hurricane Katrina in New Orleans, a group of people was collecting all the scrap metal (there was a lot of trash). They made a lot of money. They also helped clean up since there was so much trash.

[@khan2b24]

Hardworking Brothers, Good job man. The Joy you will get with the hard earned money is not explainable. Keep inspiring others.

[@doncooper512]

Lay your sheetmetal the oposite way so it sticks out the back of the trailer that way it WONT fly out

[@bcubed72]

No, as you go down the road, the air will LIFT the front. Remember how a wing works? The FASTER air over the top produces lift! Works the same on the highway...I've had my motorcycle fast enough that the wind picked my helmet up, and it was only hanging on my head by the chinstrap. If I hadn't buckled it, it would have gone flying! Back in my younger, stupider days...AKA "young, dumb and full of cum."

[@monkeyjuju7441]

That's not at all safe. I'm assuming you're not familiar with that crazy thing called science, so I'll fill you in on a few secrets. First is this thing called air, which doesn't just move front to back while driving, it it basically loops behind the vehicle which would lift the light aluminum sheets up, second is this thing called inertia, which basically is the same thing that makes your head move slightly backwards when you accelerate or forward when you break in a car, the same thing happens to the contents of the car and trailer as well. So with it the way he has it it is simply pushing against the trailer, the other way though it would slowly push its way farther and farther back until wind resistance rips it right out. In short, just tie your shit down secure in every direction and don't leave things sticking out the back of your truck or trailer, that's how stuff flies out and kills people behind you.

[@fernancruzjr]

hey man you inspired me to do the same thing to supplement my income and help the environment coz honestly landfill are getting really coz people are to lazy to recycle there stuff.and earning money on a legal basis is a good way rather than doing nothing hope you post more videos. thanks

[@Pterocarpous]

Thank you both very much for sharing your know how and experience so generously. Your video and dialogue provides a great deal of helpful information for a novice trying to sort out how to begin scrapping.

[@dannyscrapmetal9509]

This clipping will definitely help the layman to understand how to make money from scrap metal. Keep up the good work.

[@FaustFotographyLLC]

Bloomington, Minnesota does a Curb Dump here and theres scrappers everywhere, and find some pretty cool stuff.

[@jamescc2010]

You guys are doing good work recycling. Good for environment and the world. Thx

[@CHRISatCDR]

great video...bring a broom with you ... if someone gives you a grill and you take it apart in front of their house, hopefully you clean up the mess :)

[@baronmarshland3357]

hate when metal scrappers just cut cords off, some of those things work or need little work to get going and sell for way more than scrap value

[@SwiftCreationStudio]

I hate when they just clip the copper wire but they ignore the solid copper like on the back of a refrigerator

[@texascommtech]

Thank you! Much love to our Canadian brothers and sisters! Thanks fot sharing.

[@tanneraitken3768]

I like to a little trick of postings ads on Craigslist saying I'll move all people's metal for $50 and then take it to the scrap yard and make my money there too

[@SomervilleBob]

Nice video. Thanks for posting the final price you received. It's helpful.

[@diegovasquez7779]

Hey, anytime you can make money and help the planet is a great thing

[@wisheduknew294]

wow, not a bad little side job....great job guys. collecting money and keeping crap out of landfills

[@weavers1acrefarm]

Hope you make more videos. Lots of fun to watch.

[@vampov]

I love how you go door to door asking for the stuff. Classic

[@heathermullins1627]

I really do think its so cool you are showing people that if your not lazy you can get out there and make money in this economy :)

[@ChaseTerrier]

Another trick I used is that I let my neighbors know that I bring in the aluminum cans to be sold to a scrap yard. I crush the cans so I can put more cans into one bag. I bring in the cans in once a month and can bring anywhere from $20 to $50 (base on how much I bring and how much it is being sold for).

[@MrRuber249]

trailer is fixed now, Floors , wall and paint, Pickup rack got painted too. Ordered new rear lights for the trailer also, just need to install them. And the pickup got a nice tuneup last week :P Working on it!

[@davestalybridge]

well done guys, keep smiling your an inspiration to us all!!

[@CynicalScorpio]

This actually looks like fun...

[@stoneyj1a1]

Wow, can you show us how you separate it at the scrapyard? So you gotta take all the screws out of things? Great job guys. How heavy was that dishwasher?

[@coinappreciation]

If you stopped smoking you'd be able to keep more of your profits :)

[@MrRuber249]

+Shiny Things I know this comment is old, But I have been smoke free for 6 months now, Wife 5 months. Brother still smokes

[@mugsybogues9793]

@@MrRuber249that's awesome tho bro. Are you still a non smoker? Either way, hope all is well up y'all's way and to continued success. Shalom

[@Cards-In-The-Closet]

MrRuber249 That’s awesome. Keep trying, even if you fall off the Watson. My dad tried many times. Unfortunately, cancer got him at only 55. Don’t give up! On a side note, I loved the accents. My dad was from Ogdensburg, NY. Hearing your voices reminded me of visiting as a kid.

[@raymondcote6669]

Mr ruber. Great videos especially when you speak french No one around me speaks french so the practice on my ears us good practice. Plus you guys talk a good game. Good information

[@kiaya007]

lucky that you guys picked up the trailer. you just doubled your income.

[@MellowMechanic87]

there's a cigarette in every shot. I think it's a secret smoking ad lol

[@MrRuber249]

+Travis Mellott I have quit smoking since September so its all good :P My wife has quit smoking too since October. 6 months smoke free for me and 5 months for my wife :)

[@MellowMechanic87]

+MrRuber249 awesome! congratulations on that! I need to do the same thing. keep it up!

[@adamtr1121]

ur very welcome!!! I love seeing scraping videos to see what other ppl find and get in dumps!!:)

[@hooptangent6115]

Hi, Although it is for profit, what you are doing is actually for a good cause. Kudos!

[@BritStyles]

THAT VINTAGE SKATEBOARD!! AWESOME

[@TMK-22]

10 seconds in I knew you were Canadian. Nice video guys!

[@captnchris7244]

All aboot the Canadians lol

[@michaelseagoms]

Nice video I scrap Sunday Monday Tuesday wendsday a few hrs each day I average 100 to 150 a day for a few hrs work I have 2 part time jobs but scrapping money always is helpful ..keep the videos coming

[@SirRespect]

There doesnt seem to be alot of scrap or anything like that around where I live, I dont really see people lay out metal stuff on trash day here in the states.

[@MrRuber249]

Yes, But since I have a trailer its a little easier, We empty the trailer of scrap metal and keep all the good metals in the trailer ( Aluminium , Copper , Stainless Steel etc.Once we empty the truck we trow the rest of the good metals in the trailer also. So we end up with the pickup truck empty and the trailer only has the good stuff left.If some of it needs to be cleaned, we trow it back in the pickup box and clean it later to drop it off the next day. Sorting it gets easier with time.

[@MrRuber249]

I know the feeling, I love scrapping also, Its finding the good stuff that I love. I'm glad you enjoyed the video. I have a couple more and will be making more very soon.

[@TylerSimpsonVlogs]

go to dumpsters behind places where they sale bikes they throw out old bikes...money

[@rufuscrackle]

My neighbors in Kansas CIty did this. Everything in their house was things they found. They would come home loaded like in this vid everyday. Were always calling me over to look at all their finds.

[@weavers1acrefarm]

You'll be scrapping in style. Your wife still helping scrap or is your brother back at it with you? She was right into digging out the scrap in that other video. I loved the part where she pretended to only speak french.

[@baronvonblueeyes7685]

Greats video guys. Hope you make some good money with this because you deserve it !!Thanks

[@tractors44]

Good work, you are good at what you do.

[@frelnc]

Wow = that great old sewing machine! And lots of other good stuff. One question. When you broke down that grill into parts a lot of ash and unburned charcoal ended up at the end of their driveway where you were working. Wouldn't it be good to sweep that up? Carry a trash can and keep things clean? Good public relations. And would you ever do a video at the recycle center showing how much you actually made?

[@eliotness100]

That’s cool I think the same way I’m from New York I never let anything pass by if it looks useful I grab it...

[@marig1972]

Great Video Thank You And Great Job Responding To Silly Comments..Very Undeserved...Keep Doing What You Do And Please Post More Vids..I Subscribed! Love It!

[@TheNonameFromNorthernMaine]

That was cool!!! "Were just making a vid on you tube for other recycling people to learn the correct way of doing this so that they don't become robbers!! " LOL a crude translation... but loved hearing you guy's speaking french.

[@MrRuber249]

I can't wait to start scraping again, My trailer is stuck in my backyard, there is a mountain of snow blocking it, The second this white crap melts I'll be scrapping again and making videos. What I hate the most in the winter here is that at 4PM its getting dark, So my video's don't last long, In the summer at 10PM its starting to get dark :P Just 2 months left until I start putting out way more video's with my wife, Since my brother is gone to BC for a while.

[@adamtr1121]

this was a great video I loveeeeee scraping its sooo fun but it aint easy!!! lol good video!!

[@Yogilatino]

Thanks for the tips big help and wow you brother with the short hair is super fine ; )

[@naptownsclown]

Good video...i proclaim myself the scrap king here in Indianapolis I dnt have a trailor but bustin backs of the and flatting grills and other things that are space wasters is key..i make about 17 an hour...btw people saying selling the stuff you would be over run with things that could sell the money flip is much easier scrappin it... Unless its worth alot lawn mowers are a good resell to maximize ur money scrappers should invest in a second hand value store lol real talk

[@Mrparkourplaya]

Would a broken TV work for scrap and how can I scrap without being able to drive

[@gv6509]

This was really interesting and entertaining

[@vincenzobruzzese22]

I'm 15 and scrapping runs in my family I really enjoy doing it to the point that I considered it as a career choose I want to ask what are your thoughts on start a scraping company I'd greatly appreciate it!

[@53knights]

Actually, that happened to me twice, once in Texas and in California. We weren't scrapping, we just had our mowing equipment in the back. People waved us down to give us their weed eater.

[@waterflows0107]

If you can't find anything, you can actually find A LOT of aluminum cans if you look in recycling cans unless that's not common in the states either

[@sonnyc3826]

i found a sewing machine once and it had a bunch of patterns in it..i just ended up scrapping it or sold it cheap i cant remember but that was one that i shouldve looked into a bit more couldve been worth something but i find alot of people like patio sets and bikes i make alot of money selling those when i find them...all sorts of stuff really but mainly those things.

[@MrRuber249]

also my new tires are bought for the trailer , just need to install them next week!

[@rossbmx123]

Reallly good vid keep em up!!

[@bradwilcox6849]

A lot of the items he cut the coards on I normally bring back to my garage and take out the copper motors break em down and copper windings inside and get 1.50/2$ a pound for bare bright.

[@bellaquinn0306]

great video ,im a scrapper from sydney australia, make more vids ..

[@seth81warriors]

Canadians are so nice

[@irel4ever]

Do you guys separate metals, strip wires for cooper etc before you go to the yard? I wanted to try this. Thanks for that video

[@y2kxj]

I gotten lots of coins out of dryers, I always pop off the front cover where the blower fan is.. I gotten close to 5 bucks a few times.

[@MAURICEAUSAR]

Hey I liked the video but never found out how much you made. What is this a cliff hanger? :0)

[@MAURICEAUSAR]

Not bad.

[@SuperBrotherBob]

***** That was 3 hours worth, not 8 hours,

[@DrZarkloff]

I would be in my glory with a haul like that one.

[@504BoyLuisLopez]

Sometimes, I cut off the cords of TVs I find on the side of the road. I found an AC unit, a broken dolly, and other stuff.

[@MrRuber249]

I don't do drugs , I don't drink , I don't Gamble. My brother does smoke the wacky tobacco but not me! :P

[@alan30189]

Good job! You kept a lot of trash out of the landfill. I enjoyed the video. And to bust your chops a little: Does your brother ever stop smoking? He is going to die by the time he turns 50 at that pace. I'd like to see you both quit that horrible habit and waste of money. Just a thought.

[@captnchris7244]

Mabel it wasn't just cigarettes they did start work at 420 lol

[@MrRuber249]

+alan30189 6 months smoke free for me! Brother still smokes

[@alan30189]

+MrRuber249 That's great to hear! Hang in there with it and hopefully your brother will quit too. Just think of the money you are saving. Cheers!

[@hardwhite6318]

Lol i know he always has a cig

[@adventuretime3527]

Is lou single? Lol jk

[@barbaramerced1922]

Ima do this Tuesday

[@hwatever1]

I've recently got into blacksmithing. Would it be worth smelting a bunch of copper 2 wire back into a copper ingot. I am very new to scrapping and am just wondering if a copper ingot would sell for a higher price than crap wire and shavings. I've only worked with iron so far to make tomahawks and stuff. Your Thoughts would be greatly appreciated.

[@minnieearhart221]

Fun video!

[@hectorllaneza4070]

Con entusiasmo y trabajo todo se puede 👍👍👍👍

[@davidrethmeyer3800]

I wish they payed that much for aluminum cast here in Indianapolis IN we are lucky to get 20cents a pound .

[@alokozai166]

Hi the two brothers! I wonder how and where these crap metals end up? and do you see potential as expanding further?

[@GmenAgain]

It's 4:20 and they aren't burning one prior to scrapping? They didn't...and admit to sheet metal almost flying off and possibly killing someone. They started off wrong. In many areas of the US you need to check with local ordinances about dumpster diving. I don't believe there's laws against it...but there are different ordinances that either don't allow it, or only allow it during certain times. Asking a homeowner won't help. Take a moment to go to the town clerk's office. And for god's sake...burn one first.

[@Domini_k]

Do you see yourself as a Canadian or Quebec. Greetings from Scotland.

[@MrRuber249]

The world is big enough for everyone to make money!

[@growlgrowlpigsqueal]

Damn now that's how you run the game.

[@MegaGary1960]

great video im gonna get a van and a trailer

[@bradfordramsden1669]

Great job. But you know that more than half of the items where you cut the cords are perfectly functional and can be sold for much more than the cord is worth.

[@ScottyTehBody]

I swear I saw you at my place couple weeks back!

[@405adam]

Theres brass fittings in those grills...worth 1.75 a pound......I think you over valued those battries .....We get about $2.50 in florida but i guess they might pay more where your from.....But other than that it was a good video...I scrap all the time....Been doing it for about 5 years now.....You actually taught me something and that is to knock on peoples doors when i see something in there yards....Anyway good video, Keep on scrappin

[@MrRuber249]

I don't remember running a stop sign lol At what time in the video? I'm curious

[@kylebernardo1808]

how much do the bath tubs sell for?

[@Babygangstafied]

thanks for the video,, alot of people who need money dont realize they can make it with free money from scrap metal. i also pick mushrooms to sell.

[@RobPulson]

these rookies need to learn how to have a little respect and secure their load..... not to mention only driving around on trash day is so hit or miss.... gotta supplement with networking with people and construction sites. While im driving around people are calling me to come pick up specific items... can easily make $150 american per day, by myself.... not to mention the motors and cords and other items i save for later breakdown... FYI KZbin, most scrappers you see on here are rookies or part-timers, take everything they say with a grain of salt.

[@MrRuber249]

I am part-time and that,s how I like it, In my city there is a lot of scrappers and most constructions sites keep all the good metals or have a metal bin and they recycle themselves. In my city I do trash runs, 2 zones , So one is recycling while the other its garbage zone wise. But always one with garbage Monday to Friday so for me its way easier and faster, Nothing sucks more then getting a call to pick up a fridge and its on the 3rd floor of a apartment building, Way more fun to just pick one up on the side of the road. and after scraping for over 5 years I have never lost anything on the road because my load wasn't secure. I do have contacts also for a couple construction companies and a couple garages, but again this video is about garbage runs, Not about starting off and getting a network of construction companies and the likes.

[@FOUGEDDABOUDIT4509]

Take a chill. SANFORD!!!

[@RobPulson]

nah, subpar information can really steer people the wrong direction or give them a false impression.

[@ScrapVulture111]

+LtCol Kilgore: I couldn't agree with you more. Driving around in a truck and trailer @ $4 / gallon (in 2012) looking for tin items when u have no idea where they are, isn't exactly a good idea. Lucky they found them batteries. (no offense guys :)

[@RobPulson]

funny how easily they left the brass fittings on the grill also... like how easy are those to clip off? Sometimes i think i should start my own scrapping channel and show these people how to truly make money with it.

[@josephdimbleby190]

If you strip the copper you make nearly over twice as much nice vid subbed:)

[@Universalfireshieldproducts]

DO you take the washer machine and fan seperately from the raw steel you have or all togeather?

[@chrisdenney4182]

My wife gets ticked at me because I don't give her the extra money I make scrapping. When I cash in a load, I spend 1/2 of the money on silver bullion, 1/4 goes into an emergency savings account, the last 1/4 goes to a high interest savings account. She'll thank me in a couple of years. lol

[@Brighter-Shores]

Another good source is going to an RV repair shop I get about $250-$300/ week off there A/C and Fridges and thats just 1 shop.

[@101sheepman]

do you guys go around doing this on a regular daily basis?

[@smellpickle]

So um.... Why have you quit making vid,😁

[@nikosv8166]

"we got a lot of tools here and there's a lot of police here" LETS BAIL!!!!!

[@danp7463]

Invest in 10 ply tires for your trailer, since it's only a single axle.

[@tiredtrucker4life]

Good score!

[@dudeshying5105]

Nice truck do you still have it

[@Rxmulus]

Crowbar police rusty trailer off the road seems legit

[@andgolar87]

great video

Thanks, Was lucky :) That Load gave us 165$ , So decent 3 hours work :)
