Scrapping 9 ladders for clean aluminum/extrusion. Are they worth taking apart or leaving whole?

Hello scrappers and planet lovers. In this video, I do an experiment to see if it is worth taking apart ladders for clean extrusion or leaving whole and getting dirty extrusion price. I will show you how to safely and effectively identify and separate the metals in order to help maximize your profit and divert as much of the material away from the landfill as possible.

Final breakdown: 160lbs ladder = 121lbs clean extrusion (121 x $1.32lb) + aluminum 5lbs (5 x $075lb) + 28lbs tin (28 x 12lb) = $166.83 compared to unbroken 160lbs x $0.32 =$51.20

You can also drill out those rivets so you don't waste those grinding disks!! 😉

I recently took apart a couple of old walkers. The pins I pulled were half magnetic half aluminum. I thought they were all aluminum until I touched the magnet. Go figure. You made me get up and start to recycle . Hadn’t planned on that tonight 😂. ✌️💚

I finally subscribed to you and its been worth it. I have learned so much. I know the metals, hand tear apart but with your videos know what electric tools to use. Thanks!

Should have used a reciprocating saw on that ladder. The blade would still be good if you know how to use it.

Good day James Yes having over 100 lbs. it does add up.

Ladders are great. Went as dirty aluminum with the fiberglass sides. /cheers

Do you have any videos on scrapping routers or guitar amps? Love your channel

Love your videos, Tin Man! Quick question - would those hollow tube-like rungs on the ladders be extrusion, or just sheet?

[@johnsharp8627]

Was wondering if you could take a large enough drill tip and drill out the rivets?

Your videos are good and all but there to in depth every scrap yard works differently my out here in Tottenham Ontario that would be
