I think youtube is a great source if you're looking for "basic" information but you have to be able to ignore the BS. Scrapping4adart has a lot of good videos and no silliness. Mike the scrapper has a lot of good videos and a little silliness. He talks about identifying different types of metals, grading ewaste, where to find scrap and safety. Youtube is where I looked for scrapping info when I first started and I learned a lot. Scrapping4adart is how I found the SMF. I watched videos there and started reading here. I believe it kept me from asking a lot of 'basic" questions. At some point if you are serious about scrapping you need to say bye to youtube come on over to the scrap metal forum and get a real education.
I just wanted to add that my post above was not directed toward the OP (Connie). I'm just trying to say to everyone that youtube is a good tool to get started but the SMF is a better one.
