  • next video - how to make money by keeping a camcorder steady

  • #1 copper was 3.30 a day ago woo

  • just found this vid! Great way to make some cash. What can you do with electric motors? I scrapped some awhile ago for just sheet metal prices. Maybe 100lbs adn I know there was a lot of copper but didn't know what to do with them. Any suggestions?

  • I used to get paid to 'clean up' places also then scrap the metal but that has since been ruined due to TV shows showing the general public that people make money on the items they throw away..now they think we should pay them for the stuff and 90% of them think it's a gold mine..

  • search for a local job careerstartnow.info get a job today

  • @lorenzopetty194 I maid $2200 in two days scrapping cars...

  • I am following the Scrap4treasure program, recovering gold, silver and platinum from discarded scrap. I'd be interested in purchasing old electric motors (washing machines, refrigerators, microwaves. Anyone able to help?

  • You can make an easy $12 in less than 10 minutes. I'm not an affiliate or trying to spam. Just giving the link to the direct site. The site address is:

    freegamefly dot net

    Instead of signing up for the GameFly offer just complete a free offer, such as a credit report offer, and they give you $12 via PayPal. It works, I personally asked the guy over the phone if this was okay and he said yes.

  • moneymadefast.info learn to make oney here!

  • Making money seems like it would be easy enough to do but I find that consistently doing is the hard part. I think many times people give you a way to make money once but don't give you a replicable system to continuesley make money. This video is definitley some insight for me on moving forward.

  • @legcaybegins yea, you can not normally make this a full time job. just have everything ready in case something comes available, such as truck, trailer, cutting torch, tools, rope, tarp, and people to help you move it, a place to sell it, a back up place to sell, call and get prices 1-4 times a month, normally prices change weekly, check scrap yard hours of operation.

  • well just figure $0.10 per pound. so something 100 lb. will be about $10

  • how much around do you get for a trailer/van load .....and how do you know one metal from another

  • @thatbboyAli well call the scrap yard, dont even take to scrap unless its $185-$210 per ton or more, for "sheet metal" which is refrigerators, metal shelving, hot water tanks, basically all normal scrap metal. if its brown, or brown with greenish tarnish, its probably copper. aluminium is very light weight for its size and usually white or very light gray color. copper gives you about $3 to $3.25 per pound when scrap metal/sheet metal gives you about $0.10 per but easier to find.

  • do you know if its illegal to raid scrap bins at auto places where they dont have a fence and the area isnt marked private property? because i know several places in my area where i could just back a truck up and hit dumpster mart like a mother fucker

  • @thatbboyAli thanks ...wow a ton thats a lot a cargo van full of metal that would be a ton??

  • i like how 1:59 he hit the valve with pliers a few times and then unscrewed it. learning as he goes...lol

  • @ninjatheater haha yea you seen that huh?

    its always fun to hit things and break things first if possible, if that doesnt work, read the instructions :)

  • That rachet is nice where did you get it.

  • Tat rachet at 48 seconds in the video is nice.Where did you get it.

  • FAGGGGGG

    

  • nice ratchet

    

  • @TRDNews also Im a third generation of scrap metal haulers . I dont know how you people do it where you live but you have california all wrong. No one is going to call the cops on you unless your doing something wrong , As for you calling me a troll ,Your the one who said I was stoned or stupid and that is what trolls do in the begining of a comment .So your a troll. You dont know nothing about me and everyone on here is seeing right threw your tactics.

  • @GRANDBERRY1988 as of 3-1-11 scrap yards here in west kentucky was paying about $3.25 per pound.

  • @HereComesLlama they sell them in home depot 

  • They make hammers and pipe wrenches.

  • Um where are your trailer lights? Here in the states the DOT dick's would have a good time with you, if you ever got caught. But seriously I would not call you guys "scrappers" more like beggers, or trash pickers. I am a scrapper and have been for 15 years, all you "new school fuckers are a joke"

    Just my 2 cents

  • @skiddy8619 luckily your 2 cents arent worth 1 cent. here in the "states" specifically in Kentucky, trailer lights are not required by law for small trailers like this, not even required to be tagged if they are under a certain size/weight.

  • one point is never take a check from bank of america, they charged me $7 on a $12 pile of wire.. nasty bastards.

    Now I want cash or piss on them.

  • @snoopdog68 then dont take scrap metal to the bank of america

  • I did a 2 week retail store remodel and me and my buddy got to have 8 tons of scrap iron. I made 2000 dollars on the remodel job and me and my buddy made an extra 500 each. All the people in my neighborhood give me their cans, my family collects their cans for me and I also walk around and find them all over. I make 200 extra a month on those alone. It is easy to make 100 to 500 a month scrapping a couple hours a week.

  • Number one rule of scraping . NEVER take anything with out asking and NEVER go into someone eles regular pick up spots . They may have an agreement with someone there and an agreement is an iron clad contract.

  • @erwintipton You must be stoned or stupid. First of all, most people in california, if you go asking they will call the cops on you. Second, in most states once it hits a alley or sidewalk, it is considered public property for ANYONE to take. Third unless you go onto private property, there isnt anything another scrapper can do. First come, first served. Those are Chicago rules!

  • @TRDGNews Dude must be the one stoned or stupid . No one is going to call the cops on you for asking , Unless your on private property and refuse to leave . And where did I say you cant take anything out at the curb or alley ?. Thats right I didnt .Now if you have a agreement with a company then thats not a first come first serve , So now that I set you strait you can go troll someone eles.

  • @erwintipton you havent dealt with the yuppies out here. If you ask for something and have a scrapping truck, they act like you about to rob them and run away like bitches. I love being pulled over by cops cause I asked a question. Second if you have a agreement with a company and they place their junk out like everyone else in the world, in the ally. That agreement doesnt mean shit. Third asshat, dont talk like you ever have scrapped anything looking like a little hippy surfer troll.

  • @TRDGNews Dude its very clear you dont know what the h#ll your talking about . I have been In the recycling biz way longer than you have . First of all my companys dont put there scap out in alleys ways ,Its on private property and there are signs that state private property NO tresspassing. allso there is another sign that says do take anything off these premisses. . Sure if there is scap metal setting out with the intentions of free for all then thats a diffrent story.,

  • So how did you know that walmart wasnt gonna use the sheet metal? Did you just go in and ask the manager if there is any metal they were not using? Would you be able to do this at any retail store?

  • bad ass adjustable ratchet thing

  • Check out junk car mafia we do this allay every day keep junkin

  • nice man!

  • @canadacatalyst thank you!

  • Comment removed

  • This is not a very good guide to scrapping. I have a much better one, and it is on my blog. scrappingmetal blogspot

  • Some good tips, but I suggest you use the money you got to buy some decent tools! LOL

  • @JrVtec $180 i think

  • Welcome to the 3rd world America ...They sell it to China no doubt

  • @LottsaLasagna we scrap, sell to china, china melts and makes things and sells to us. when all of our factories are out of business, china will buy more metals, so we get money, then when all of our metal is gone, china will stop selling all metals. they already lowered the amount of export minerals. we will be a 3rd world country by 2020 if we dont change our ways, create jobs in usa

  • @smartstuff2buy I love your response to that statement.

  • @SuperUnlawful thanks

  • lol, I like that "are you a woman?" comment.

  • OH MY GOD HE ISNT A MEXICAN!!!!! YAY THUMBS UP ON THIS VID!!!

  • @Learnthethingsido i'm probably the only one thats not mexican in my town. i live in kentucky.

  • Thats not very accurate

  • @MrBostonianeb what is not accurate?

  • Where do i get all of this scarp metal from and is it legal in australia to pick up old junk lying around?

  • @BLO383 well you should ask, so that you are not trespassing

    many people pay you to take their junk, then you scrap and make more money, good luck

  • @BLO383 just ask first. they would probably appreciate you "cleaning up" but ask the owner of the property.

  • does anyone think washers, driers, and washing machines are worth goin a distance to pick up? like if someone tells you about one a couple miles away or something (im 15 so that might sound kinda stupid)

  • The only method that works is the one I found at ez-casino(dot)com, you don't have to risk your money, it's perfect! :-)

  • sewing machines..if they are metal ooooo casshhhhh!!

  • How much is that worth on trailer?

  • @SuperUnlawful maybe $100-$180

  • get a truck or find a new hobby. No offense, your set up just looks silly. I throw scrap in the back of my 04 siverado and people show me respect.

  • When everybodys doing it all the places that pay the best have long lines so you spend a lot of time waiting in line to unload. Time that your not making money. It only takes one flat tire to lose most of your profit and the operators at most scrap yard love to destroy customers equipment thats why they all have sign which say they are NOT RESPONSIBLE FOR Damage. Good luck.

  • hello, can you tell me the brand of this good looking hand tool? at 0:50

  • @santibeth look at lowes or sears.

    its $26usd

    i'll sell u one for $40 with free s&h if you email me

  • @smartstuff2buy , thank you for your offer, I see in the sites you recomend me, and see other interesting too: HK1 Hydrokinetic Adjustable Wrench. I´m a tool lover haha

  • @smartstuff2buy hustlin always

  • @GUARDIANOFFOR learn to fucking spell you dumbass, then go talk shit. DO YOU UNDERSTAND THE WORDS I'M WRITING?!!

  • And what about the metal that is NOT sheet metal? For instance old sewing machines etc., motors... How about cast iron scraps?

  • @Khamomil sewing machines are considered scrap metal, or sheet metal also, vcr, refrigeraters, stoves, all sheet metal

  • @Khamomil sewing machines and motors are considered sheet metal, you can take copper out of the motors to get more money. iron may be different price but usually as sheet metal

  • @GUARDIANOFFOR its not 50% and i do pay taxes on all income or else i wouldnt put it online duh

  • @ifishfortarpon its not a full time job, i was just cleaning up some things

  • Yes, but do you have a college degree? (just kidding) Good job man.

  • @Khamomil yea i just do scrapping when things are in my way

  • you know you the deal,Ii think I can work with you.You seem to have the right attitude and patience.It's not easy I got the cops on me 2 times cause of the bad rep some thiefs have on scrapping,came out clean cause I'm a clean scrapper.

  • what about chairs will you need to take out

    the padding i have some with metal around em and a metal truck rack so

    i put all the metal in my trailer and bring it to the scrap yard

  • can you scrap bricks

  • @VictoryVic80 yes. scrap yards love to see tons of bricks. $5.00 a pound from what i hear.

    haha.

  • @VictoryVic80 no but if you mix them with your metal you can be arrested for stealing because the scrap yard is paying you for metal when you are not giving them metal, deceiving.

  • Fierro catre boteeeellaaaa! xDDDDDDDDDDDDDD

  • I hobo for my metal, aluminum mostly with lead wheel weights as a bonus. Metal is fun to deal in.

  • PIKEY MUCH

  • you could probably get more for selling the shelves to another small mom n pop shop rather than scrap

  • Do scrap yards remove the paint before they melt the steel?

  • If this guy was a pro he would realize scrapping tin and light metal is a big waste of time and he would have either a dump truck or a rollback. I scrap for a living and guys like this crack me up when they come in the yard with washers and shit like that and I have 10,000lbs of short steel on my truck which is paying $310 a ton right now.

  • @yurifiero sometimes you just have to get rid of things, doesnt mean you are doing it for a living

  • @smartstuff2buy one way or the other your still making money even if you dont have 10.000lbs.

  • @yurifiero You sound a little full of yourself. Not everyone at the scrap yard is doing it for a living. Sometimes it's just a little side money. I can load up the back of my truck and take home 30-40 bucks I didn't have at the beginning of the day and I think it's a pretty good deal, especially for what people just throw in the trash.

  • Throw that safety chain in the pile too thats metal!

  • i have ways to scam scrap yds because they do chaet you with scales 3 - 5 lbs off many times i seen at diff yards and when your getting $3 a lb that adds up fast

    E mail me at billyzeke@gmail.com how to get your wieght up on all metals FREE!

  • did you mention the free hot lead that you can get if you pick up the scrap from the wrong location?

  • a cool source of aluminum is bicycle repair shops. rims and frame parts are usually al now and they often just pitch bent out of shape parts. easy picken

  • The tool he used is called a Rapidrench for $26.70 at s e a r s . c o m

  • how do u find places with scrap metal because i get good little bits here n there but i want jobs like what your showing

  • You TJ, are clearly a pro with all hand tools! And your business model is amazing...You get paid to clean up! Then you get paid to scrap it!!!!! ITS THE BEST OF BOTH WORLDS!!! Could yo please make a video showing your expertise with more hand tools? Hammers, Screwdrivers preferably they are my favorite!! KK BTW Sweet TRUCK?....PS. YOUr HAwt.

  • @Sdmousseau are you a woman? you better be

  • @smartstuff2buy Sarcasm included.

  • @smartstuff2buy hahaha

  • @smartstuff2buy what are you talking about

  • Rich "cartonero" "botellero" :)

  • 4-1-10 i took 1700 pounds of old CPU's (not monitors, mice or keyboards), and they didnt have the hard drives or ram memory inside, everything else though).

    the computers were considered scrap sheet metal. they were paying$190 per ton and i got $180 for this 1 load. the guy that was using the giant claw,,, grabbed my wooden tire well and done $15 of damage to it. i had to go and replace some lumber that he broke. so i made about $165, not bad.

  • @smartstuff2buy Technically, you gave away a small gold mine with that scrap steel. Computer motherboards, cards and processors contain gold and some items contain platinum. Depending on the hardware, your average motherboard could have 1/20 of an ounce in it, at more than $1000 an ounce for gold, that's $50 a board. I don't know where you live, but there are PC recyclers in my area and they pay top dollar for such things.

  • whered that tool come from, the ratcheting thing?

  • can u make $200 a day doing this, and is it worth it with all the gas, time , and wear on the truck?

  • can u make $200 a day doing this, and is it worth it with all the gas, time , and wear on the truck?

  • Awesomee

  • Thank you so much for this post. I am a female and want to get into this business. As I think back, my uncles down south have been doing this for years. LOL. Guys I know have tow trucks and look for cars. They are making so much money. Any suggestions or where to start? If I need a license. I know zero about this business. I'm in Washington, DC so where would you suggest I go?

  • Dude, you're like the Fred Sanford of YouTube!
