Nice quantity of everything! It’s amazing how one man can get that much scrap! Awesome Ben! Thanks for sharing.

[@jbbumpkin]

Give an award to the fork lift driver - for making a meal out of his task! 🤠

[@dr.a006]

😧🙄😂 Practice makes perfect!😅

[@gummyroid]

I can’t believe such a big yard/buyer will only give you cast price for Extruded. Great vid as usual. 👍

[@garrettmillard525]

What? He said he got 2.65/kg for Extruded and 2.00/kg for cast. Both are excellent prices.

[@goldmagnet]

​@garrettmillard525 some of the first load of cast with the really big heatsinks were extruded but they will only give him cast on the bulky bits as it doesn't compress and bale together like the smaller stuff does so they only take it as cast unfortunately.

I just uploaded a vid on how to get free number 1 copper

[@jonglewongle3438]

Better than what I am doing, regarding aluminium. Last Monday week I got $44.95 for 32 kilos of aluminium foil with aluminium trays thrown in. Without consulting the docket, that is in the order of $ 1.25 to $ 1.30 per kilo. I know, I know, my puny and irrelevant endeavours, but it is still aluminium, as such, notwithstanding the grade deficiency.

[@DoctorWEBB]

How on earth did you collect 32kg of aluminium foil!! And trays!! That is an insane amount of aluminium foil!! Unless your talking aluminium sheeting? Foil weighs in a pimple more than bubble wrap 🤣 32kg aluminium foil that's epic!

[@jonglewongle3438]

@@DoctorWEBB Epic, except that it takes me 6 months to do it. But, still, only one hairdressing salon [ from their wheely bin ], and it is only a sidelight to my recycling activities. The aluminium trays come incidentally from bottle and can collecting.

[@DoctorWEBB]

@@jonglewongle3438 $44.95 is better than a Poke in the eye with a sharp stick as my grandfather use to always say! Well done. I've never heard of anyone else even hauling a few kgs of aluminium foil in for a return. 32kg's is seriously impressive in my book. That's 32kg of material that's not just discarded in a hole as landfill and is destined to be recycled. Plus enough $$ to buy a slab every 6months. Nice work 👍 it all counts.

[@jonglewongle3438]

@@DoctorWEBB Most people won't touch something like foil because it is too light. MRF people generally won't mess too much with it particularly once it is caught up in the waste stream. There was one guy, Gerrard McCafferty, who collected wool bags of the stuff, it being put aside for him by multiple salons. I think that was on " War On Waste ". with the issue being him finding a market for it. Not all yards will come at it. But it is a viable metal material.

[@DoctorWEBB]

@@jonglewongle3438 if its just a self filling wheelie bin to collect and take down whenever full. Sure why not. But anything more involved to grab anytime on the way past.....forget it. Definitely not viable more like a huge aluminium foil pain in the schedule. Why mess around chewing on foil you know it feels weird on your tooth fillings and I bet the scrap yard try's to close the gate early if they see you coming tin man on another foiled mission. Be better off collecting up aluminium drink cans. Definitely better returns in a short walk to be had than 6months of hair cuts and colours waiting 6months to get aluminised in some money for your nest eggs of the shiney sheet.

[@vaughndumas]

Good to hear from you again, mate! Thanks for the vid.

[@sharkscrapper]

There's such a nice satisfaction in the unload. Could be because we get handed a check, cash or a receipt for the transfer at the end of it 🤣

[@dr.a006]

And chucking stuff out the truck!

[@adambomb8685]

Interesting that Irony Ali is down while the more pure forms of Aluminum are up. Perhaps factories that seperate that stuff out are full up?

[@davebentley3542]

Excellent vid Ben, really enjoyed that. Thanks fella 👍

Great prices

[@CharlesCovington-fh6rv]

11:00pm love your videos can't wait to see more videos how your garage clean out coming along?

[@HomecockpitsAndMore]

Hi Ben, wouldn't it be easier to always have a pallet at home and to stack them on a pallet when loading the van? The scrapyard people could then just unload it with the forklift and off you go. Proably would save you heaps of time!

[@kezwa1343]

Have always wondered why something as simple as this isn’t already in motion. There’s a lot of things old mate could do to save a lot of effort and time none the less , Great dude but he loves to double handle things for sure 😬

I have not taken scrap in and a long time but seems to be better on your side of the pond Missouri USA sucks oh how much is the brass zinc #1 copper over there Man of God PS have a blessed rest of the year brother.

[@pederlindstrom3132]

Hello Ben,, you got some awsome prices . Usually price goes down a little during winter here but its still good. I need to get a van, I have to do tetris in the trunk to get rid of scrap steel,, or maybe I buy a trailer at discount at work 😂

I'm amazed how much they pay for data cable - most yards in the UK don't even want it.

[@dr.a006]

I’ve actually been getting paid more for CAT wire/data cable than regular #2 insulated lately in Utah, USA🤷‍♂️ I’ll take what I can get!

Ben, keep the UTP, VGA, DVI, USB en HDMI connecters there will be a time that you can sell them for a good price, here in the netherlands its 0.90 euro per kilo.

[@johnsharp8627]

Why wouldn't you have trimmed off the copper wire from the stuff at the 13:00 mark... just curious. Assuming it's copper.

[@dr.a006]

I think he brought it up long ago, but ya, I agree, it’s like they get an extra bonus of copper wire after it’s shredded and separated. For how little aluminum is in power supplies, I guess it’s still worth it.

[@johnsharp8627]

@@dr.a006 Thanks for the reply. New sub. and to scrapping. Seems like he'd be trimming all of that off if it is copper. What do I know though.

[@WolleWip]

Extruded aluminium is higher than copper on the spot market. Good money in that, even if you only get a quarter of the spot value at the yard.

where have you been my brother?❤

[@kevinraines4318]

no way you had 140KG of copper by the way you got that bin out of the van then pulled it along only tuck a few hand fulls out the you lifted it in to the bin 🤣

The docket and scrap yard doesn't lie lol

[@thadofalltrades]

That price for #2 copper is crazy high. That's higher than I would get for #1.

[@EFCasual]

Australian dollars aren't worth much.

[@thadofalltrades]

@@EFCasual I did the conversion, it's still way higher

[@johannesroer6983]

I think they did something wrong with the numbers or the Tara of the box where he put the copper in. I bet, never this was 140 kilos. After he unloaded like two three kilos with bare hands he could easily lift it so 40-50 kilos maximum, then the Price is very very good 😂

[@dr.a006]

I know! When I have a bucket of heat sinks, the regular workers give me extruded and throw it in that bin, as they should. But one day the owner was helping and he put all my heat sinks with regular sheet/clip aluminum which was like 30¢ less! I was not amused.🤬
