I pull the blower motors, any wire and the gas valve. The gas valve sells as aluminum breakage. If there is a coil pull it. Check the heat exchanger it may be stainless steel. Sell the rest as tin or...
I don't break down any of my water heaters. I yank off the brass and the gas valve and sell the rest as tin. I sell my expansion tanks and pressure tanks whole also. I think the yards are only...
Are Plumbers required to have a permit? I haul lots of copper and brass.
I load mine up and take it in every week. I'm a plumber so I get more copper and brass than anything. I haul my water heaters in every Saturday and I take the copper and brass along for the ride....
2009 Ford E350 van and a 16 foot tandem axle trailer.
We got between 8-9 inches of snow and about a inch of sleet and ice. Temp was -5 this morning. That's rare for Arkansas.
We had plenty of time to prepare for it. I moved alot of stuff into my shop...
I live out in the sticks and work from home
I'm not near as serious about it as some of these guys are. I work full time as a service plumber. I've been doing that for about 18 years. I scrap to pay for my toys and to make money and hide it...
I'm a plumber. I've never seen a tub made out of stainless. I'm sure there are probaly a few out there, but I would think they would be pretty rare.
Most tubs are steel or cast. A steel tub is...
Depends on how old it is. If it's an old cast iron model, make sure you have a hammer and plenty of wrenchs you don't mind beating on. If it's a newer mini boiler you csn probaly get it out with a...
I strip all the wire I get. I figure if the yard is paying x amount they are doing so for a reason. It's profitable
Alot of customers don't want a furnace or water heater setting in their yard for a week if the trash just ran. We haul everything off and actuallt charge 10 dollars to do it. I have all the guys...
Most furnaces will only have tin value aside from the wire and blower motor. Some furnaces have stainless steel heat exchangers or tubes. Every once in awhile you get lucky and get one with the coil...
I took some copper and brass in today.
#1 Copper 3.30/lb
#2 Copper 3.10/lb
Brass 1.50/lb
I have a local scrap yard here that pays 3 cents a pound for plastic, It's not much much, but it's something.
I took in some waterheaters and brass today. #1 Copper was 3.25 and #2 was 3.00
Yes, I took in 9 waterheaters and a bucket full of brass. I have a couple of trashcans full of copper I'm taking in the morning along with some compressors,garbage disposals and a few fan motors. I...
Being a plumber I spend lots of time on top of buildings. It may be difficult to get access but most commercial buildings and resturants have hvac units on the roof. When a hvac tech replaces the...
I keep a axe and machete around. I always have to cut a path thru weeds. About 2 months ago I cut a old aluminum scool bus body in half with the ax so I could get it on the trailer. I also recommend...
I would first assault it with saw or grinder and find out what it is. Then I would chop it up and throw it into the appropriate piles.
Most of the compressors I get are smaller ones out of residential heat and air units. I cut one in half once. It did'nt have copper wire. That was the last one I cut. I strip the outside and drill a...
I get alot of plated faucets and stuff. I hit them once or twice with the old sawall to check them. If also saves time if you get a new guy at the yard.
I generally clean up my copper. I only cut off soldered fittings and throw them into diffrent tubs. I pull the handles off brass valves.
I don't spend much time stripping tin and steel. If pull...
The guys I sell to are paying 2.80 for#1 - 2.65 for #2.
Brass is going for 1.60
insulated wire 1.60
