Should go as copper bearing/low grade electric motor

Like a lot of the other goys on here I have a full time job beyond the scraping but I'm still at it in all my free time I'm making up for lower prices with a lot more junk. I have been selling...

Sometimes those handles and feet are pewter.

On SS sinks if you don't take the magnetic (regular steel) rails off the bottom they usually get tossed in with dirty stainless, around here that's about the same as shred. That may be what you are...

Commercial construction companies generally go thru a lot of pallets of all sizes. If you can find the shop supervisor they would probably be the one to talk to, also if can run down the foreman at a...

I have reason to travel to Florida (St.Pete area) several times a year, I always try to time it to be there on trash day. People down there set out the darndest stuff ! ;)

I remember when you could hardly give steel away and I wasn't smart enough to hoard it up, won't make that mistake again :)

I save more by paying 6 months up front than you save by being tracked, hmmm......

There is a big fad right now for cutting up old license plates to make signs out of the individual numbers and letters, sometimes as much as $2.00 each letter. I know someone who works in a craft...

and you never know, if you ask they might start saving stuff out for you, save you having to dumpster dive in the first place

I started my kids out when they were little helping me scrap. Now I have a 17 year old that makes his own money scraping instead of working the mickey D's grind or some such.

Everytime I log on there are posts asking the same thing you asked and it just shows how lazy people are these days. (rant over) If you want to learn listen up. Think of your scrap business as a...

Sold two a couple of weeks ago, didn't take anything out or off, just went as shred no questions asked.

I know I have said this before but I've been doing this for 29 years why stop now ? Anything lost in price can be made up in volume with scrappers dropping out. The quick easy money may not be there...

CTscrapman, you got on board when prices were good and going up. I have been scraping metal for 29 years, when I started out you could hardly give steel away, when yards around here started buying it...

If its to big for your vise you can put two eye bolts on a board and use a chain and binder across the case to hold it.

Throwaway world we live in, rinse the tank out real good put a new plug in and fresh gas, if it doesn't want to idle a carb kit should take care of that.

If you just throw all that in the shred pile you will be giving away more money than you make ;)

I would look for a 2 door full size suv with a v-8, with high mileage you will get better service out of an 8 and about as good fuel mileage. Around here anyway the 2 doors aren't bringing the higher...

First the magnet next a grinder, its amazing all the places copper and brass hide ;). I've been doing this for years and I still learn stuff all the time reading on here. Welcome to the forum.

Sounds like you want profit with no effort, there is no easy way to make money scrapping. If you want the bigger profit items you will most likely have to buy them. Hard to make a whole lot on a...

what Bear said.....

Depends on your yard but I just throw them in with small motors and transformers.

I've got a deal with a one man operation where he gets first shot at any repairable mowers, saws, whatever that I get and I get all his scrap it's a win win. Something like that might work for you...

I'm in the northwest corner of NC (Watauga Co.)
