Flash back I did this all the time back in the days

[@Dave1380-bq9fk]

yea in austin texas steel is 7 cents a pound, i wish it was 10 cents or better like a little while ago, copper is good though. found a 8 gauge spool of wire still in the package on the wooden circle thing on someones curb next to a tool box and a cast iron tub, there was a huge pile there, i don't think they knew how much that was worth. thanks for another video

[@wnytrashtrucks]

Our copper prices are under $3 across the board. #1 $2.60, #2 $2.45 and BareBright at $2.85. I am holding out for at least $3 on #2 before turning mine in. Prices just went up today. Up in Buffalo New York

Scraping how I make my money as well

[@rossbrumby1957]

Dont take that no.2 in- cut the solder joints out and chop it to 9" lengths, then chuck it in the concrete mixer with sand for a half hour. Nice and clean no.1 easy.

[@christophertaylor2464]

I like the way you think.

Hey neighbor I’m from scranton

[@ScrappingIrish]

great that copper is up and love when gold is up also

[@Adventureswithmike1]

Yeah, usually I get more copper in the spring and summer from air conditioners.. So i'm hoping it's a good year

[@hisandherscoins]

Same around here tin and heavy steel hasn’t moved in weeks I have ac up the butt to clean up

[@kumijia]

Aiden and stantons pay the best and are easy to deal with. I hoard all my good stuff to take there and I drove up from Harrisburg. Last summer I processed a bunch of pool heaters for my brother in law and cashed in a nice haul for him.

[@Adventureswithmike1]

Yeah, they are very professional and awesome place to deal with..

[@vernonsamera8815]

Nice little payday!

Barebright cable : €6.50 Clean Brass : € 3.50 Small motors : € 0.50 General mixed aluminum : € 0.70 Aluminum windows/clean : €1.10 Aluminum cans : € 0.40 Steel cans : € 0.10 Iron / steel / shred : €0.19 All prices in kg, so divide by 2.2 for lb price,(ie copper barebright would be €2.95/lb - euro is pretty much equal to the dollar US at the moment) I'm in malaga, spain.

[@Adventureswithmike1]

Thank you for sharing those prices

[@bluejay3369]

Dude, cut those sealed units up! 2-4 lbs of copper in each one and those rads run a saw down and cut the metal sides off BAM!!! CLEAN!

[@Adventureswithmike1]

I don't bother cutting the ends off the smaller acr coils. And I'm definitely not cutting. Open sailed units. That is way too much work

[@scrapitjc]

Great cash in Mike, stack, save and cash it in.😊

[@Adventureswithmike1]

That's exactly what I do.. I'm working on the next pile

[@Floridabruce1960]

Trailer inspection by the gestapo? You must live in California. And running a "yellow" light? Yellow lights are made FOR RUNNING!

Long Island NY 4/10/2024. These prices are nauseating compared to what I'm seeing across the country. Bare bright, $3.30, #1 $3.00, #2 $2.60. Insulated wire 70% $1.80, Insulated wire 50% $1.20, spaghetti wire $0.35 Everything is a money grab in NY. Even making good money I hate living here.

[@AyoJumpMan]

$3.45 for #1 copper out here in Atlanta, GA

[@brodyweller1800]

Copper #1 4.95 copper #2 4.80 ontario canada april 8th prices.

[@silver_salvage_savage]

$2.90 for bright $2.85 for #1 $2.75 for #2 Yellow brass $1.80 $0.18 for compressors. not worth it, in my opinion. I'll open those some day Detroit suburbs, Michigan Shred is down in my area. Rumor has it, the cause is Ukraine. I guess their processing infrastructure is destroyed and the US exports to turkey. They are getting it from the battlefield and saving on trans Atlantic shipping. Thinking of trying to make it a full time thing. Scrap is the only thing getting cheaper these days......🤦‍♂️

[@Adventureswithmike1]

Aint that the truth? It's getting harder to source metal every day

[@elizabethwulf8710]

Also my AC compressor is a 12 cents a pound
