Scrap Yard Cash in Day

[@ewastecoalition6416]

Am I the only one who watched the entire video just for the satisfaction of seeing those bins fill up as he empties all the buckets? I love it!

[@aluminumcantheif6557]

HECK YEAH!

[@stirl]

On the plus side, you managed to get out of the yard with a free piece of scrap metal :)

[@ZoonCrypticon]

@19:10 You have for sure a very positive attitude with everything, I admire that. With a punctured tire I would have gotten angry and would have probably been cursing. You are really a good guy. God bless.

[@michaelschuenemann3505]

Wow - Wheelie Bins full of Wire and Brass and Alu - You had a VERY good Payday - we loved the Action at the Scrap Yard - You sounded very Pleased indeed !!!! Another Quality Video - we love it - keep Safe and many-many Cheers from us here in QLD - well done !!!!

Yaaa Ben! Keep these scrap yard videos coming! Nice work

[@notbluejay2830]

Great video! I went to the scrap yard today myself and had my best day yet scrapping. I sold a bunch of pipes that I found in dumpsters and a lot of other big pieces of steel. I crammed everything into my little SUV. Made myself a pretty 154$ :) Thanks for the learning materials, definitely helps me stay afloat during this pandemic, peace and love from the USA!

[@TommyChristerJunge]

Happy newear from Denmark.

[@ewastecoalition6416]

Carry a few screws with you just in case you get another puncture. They'll stay in long enough and keep the air from leaking out while you are getting where you need to go.

[@ZoonCrypticon]

Excellent idea!

[@williamkenny6383]

Or just a plug kit and a small compressor

[@bigpimpen045]

Yeah I'd keep like 2 plug kits in the center console and small air compressor or a tank of compressed air. Most people dont know but plugs last a lifetime I had a honda accord wagon and I used to scrap in it and I had one tire with 3 plugs and one with 2 and they literally lasted until I sold the car a year later

I always carry a plug kit in the glove box and a 12 volt air pump also. I don't know how many times I have plugged a tire on the side of the road, better then calling a tow truck. I enjoy watching your videos, keep up the great videos.

Hi Ben. I'm happy that you were able to get the tire fixed. Glad prices are good. Stay safe and happy my friend. Ttyl my friend ☺☺☺😇😇😇

[@chrislucas2283]

I had a rubbish removal business in the city , 3 ton truck , averaged 1 flat a week . if it goes through the side it was a new tyre , always picked up screws or some crap at the tip or recycle center , thanks for the video it was a pleasure to watch

[@shaneyork300]

I always like to have a plug in my truck, especially after going to the scrap yard, so I can plug it on the spot. Of course the scrap yard is 30 miles from my home too! I'd have the plug ready when I pull it out and I try to keep as much air as possible in the tire!! Most plugs I've put in has lasted the lifetime of the tread of the tire!! Have a Great Day My Friend!!!

Nice payday Ben. Cast aluminum in my part of USA is only 38 cents.

[@aaronrosner4942]

the US dollar is worth more that the Australian dollar, so it would probably even out.

[@brandonfrancey5592]

1kg = $1.35 AUD 1kg = $1.00 USD 2.2 lbs = $1.00 1 lbs = $0.45 So the 38 cents you get in your area, Ben got 45 cents. Ben got $90 for his aluminum, the same amount would have netted you $74

How did you get all those cat cables?

[@danthescrapper815]

Hi Ben id be curious to compare prices with what your getting compared to me. I haven't done a video for a while but seeing im selling every week maybe i should.......currently im getting Bright Copper $9.65kg Clean Copper $9.40kg Dirty Copper $8.80kg Clean Brass $6.25kg Dirty Brass $5.75kg Standard Cable $3.35kg Dirty Copper/Aluminum Rads $3.90kg Clean Copper/Aluminum Rads $4.25 Iv learned the real place where all scrap yards in Brisbane sell to, originally i thought it was Sims but i was so wrong.

[@jwilson1415]

I got a tire plug kit myself recently after getting a 2nd screw in a tire, I figure it might happen again so why not save some money. First time I had the service station do it but this last time I decided to buy the kit. It wasn't bad to do, I did remove the tire because I just could not get the right leverage to push the tools in.

[@ChiefAlegre]

Right when you were commending them, "they" get you in trouble. 😆

[@yeeyeebrudderz8629]

You should get a little van trailer to maximize loads to the recycling yards and maximize loads while on the street scraping

[@sun2sand2snow]

I hope you made it home on that tire. At least the prices were good, still what a pain! Thanks for the video

[@caraudiosolutions]

You don't need to go to a tire shop you can buy the puncher kit from ebay...only £8 not sure about Australian dollars.

[@mandataruu8685]

always keep a reserve tire or two in a van you have so much space

[@Mobliz]

For any scrappers in the USA, you can simply take his price in AUD/kg and divide by 3 to get an idea of what hes being paid in USD/lb. Formula I used: 2.2 lbs in 1 kg 0.74 USD in 1 AUD Let AUD/kg equal A, USD/lb equal U. U = (A/2.2)*0.74 U = (0.74/2.2)A U = A / (2.2/0.74) U = A / 2.97297

[@classicgameguru]

Having visited Manhari myself recently.I get the feeling there's a price gap between being an ABN Vs Non ABN holder. That or they have some price structure based on quantity (more you have the higher the rate.). $3kg/$2.10kg.........Insulated copper. $1.80kg/$1.20kg for low grade cable. clean brass $5.60/$4.50. Domestic Aluminium $1.30kg/0.80c Kg Am i right or are Manhari selectively ripping people off?

[@Drewsroofingandhomerepair]

Where do you get all your wire

Don’t pull out the wire! It was plugging the tyre so the air stays in so you can make it home/to a tyre shop.
