Great plug for Manhari. Glad you found them and their new yard is close by. Have been going there for years and their prices definitely make the hard work worth it.

[@geoffdecorator7150]

Great set up i must say ,very much like how we had ours over here in Manchester UK ,gave it all up when the father passed away and the gardening business he had was sold off 6 years ago .I worked with him during the summers over 20 years in total ,we soon learnt most peoples gardens have bits and pieces of scrap here and there such as electric flex off appliances .Every time we did the garden we went away with something or another , i saved all my wheelie bins full till just before Christmas time and used the money for my daughters Presents etc .Can no longer do it anymore due to where i live thesedays but great to watch others doing it still on here ,all the best Geoff

Always love to see what all your hard work is worth! Just had Owen scrap steal price here in the USA finally read the $100 per ton. It was down as low as $40 a few months back!

Would an electric winch inside the van to help pull in tubs a crazy idea?.....side note..the forklifts being used Chinese in make....I didn't recognize the brand name on the forklifts.

not crazy but probably not worth setting it up in this old van

These videos actually make you want to keep your scrap like Ben did nice big weigh in well done mate

[@sharkscrapper]

good payday for just needing some empty bins, thanks for sharing

[@zeromancer-x]

Having these videos on your channel is important. It shows new scrappers what they should expect when cashing in.

[@Chaosman88]

is it not worth to process those wires with a wire stripper? With that quantity I think the difference in price would be huge!

[@eWasteBen]

no it's not, it's very similar in price, scrap yards a re paying based on 43% copper content, I know for sure most of it is not 43%, at best 30% and some probably only 20% or aluminium even, the only wire worth stripping is what would be called high grade wire, 60%+ copper

[@ringa91]

Awesome, love the scrap runs!

[@Scoob609]

Its been a little frustrating since Pacific closed its doors to anything from your every day scrapper. The prices they tell you arent what you ever get anymore either and i clean everything spotlessly. Hart have been paying the best for clean aluminium lately but they're very strict on it being spotless. I personally wont ever return to Manhari after they paid light pressing for 6 ton of hmg cut into 1 metres and refused to amend the price even after a manager said they did make a mistake.

[@eWasteBen]

Harts are good, I take my dirty steel there

[@heyimamaker]

This would be a fun hobby because I love taking things apart. I would totally work for meals :)

[@CruiserMac]

Those bins work great for scrapping! That yard is so clean and organized, no wonder they can pay the best prices as they are so efficient.

Man that is a awesome price scale on everything sounds good I live in Nashville Tennessee and I went and sold 150 pounds of number one clean and it's 2.05 a pound and number two clean is at 1.85 I had 44 pounds of that and a grand total of 322.00 for all

Those arent bad prices for a non business seller in the States.

That's really good pricing , here in NY I have been getting about .50 cent a pound for 40% wire. Like 30 cents for cast and 1.30 for brass. Batteries are like 25 cent a pound. I'm gunna call around alittle I wish I could get prices like that!

i LOVE how organized you are!

[@DisabledandPrepping]

How do you tell mid or low grade in items that one would take in. Sorry if it a stupid question but I'm totally new to this.

[@eWasteBen]

mid grade wire is pretty much most normal wire including power cords with all the plugs removed. low grade is with plugs still on, thin ribbon wire like you would find in a dvd drive, antenna wire etc

[@DisabledandPrepping]

@@eWasteBen what about boards I know there are mother boards, mid grade and low grade how do you determine mid and lower grade boards. Sorry about all the questions but I'm new and I'm trying to learn you seem like a really good person to learn from. Thank you for your help.

[@chitownmytownofficialonean6067]

You don't get licensed to drive a forklift just to get out of it all day and pick up backbreaking trash cans . And the company can't expect every scrapper to come and be lifting loads because then they would be responsible for anything that happens to you as well.

Just FYI, I used to work for a scrapyard. All your data cable is processed as low/reject cable, but i can guarantee they sell it as mid/household cable. We used to rob people blind with grades.

[@rhiys]

Also your small motorbike batteries, yes they're lead acid but higher quality. They're worth more, but wont tell you.

[@rhiys]

Always ask them to weigh the container before you dump your stuff in. It always weighs less than they tare off.

I’d have to clean all that wire and melt it down to some ingots. I get to save a lot more up and haul off a lot more at one time when I melt it down and pour up some ingots of pure copper, aluminum, brass, and any other of my metals. I’ve got a machine that cleans all the wire and it absolutely hurts my feelings if I have to sale any still in insulation.

the pvc no plug wire here in canada is $0.06 lb. not even worth bothering with. We get ripped off here like no other counrty... Blood suckers.

[@mikeboot7409]

The cost to run a business in canada is extremely high that is why companies cant pay as much as other countries. The margins they have to work with become small when the government is taking over 60 percent income tax. Thats why canadas economy is garbage and business cant compete with usa or any other country really.

@@mikeboot7409 I'm ashamed of this Counrty, It's going down hill very fast... We have the highest tax's in the world. We haven't any leaders and longer...what gets voted in is worse then the mafia and only out for themselves. We have a little frog boy running the counrty and he lets big bad trump tell him what to do, he ruined our standing with china and he gives out tax $$ to other countries as aid while we can't even hire Dr's to look after own people because he tells us we have nothing to pay them with.

[@DelphinusVyse]

I wonder if Manhari got a good deal for that lot considering it's next to the toxic burned-out husk of a factory that was storing a bunch of chemicals when it went up in flames? I'm a little overly curious I guess but I looked up the address on Google Maps and when I saw the remains of the place next to it I wondered what happened and did some more Googling to find out.
