At under $200.00, it's nicely priced. Replacement blades can go for nearly that.
I'm not an expert in the field, but it's my understanding that smelters process ore not scrap. Consumers of scrap would be integrated mills (blast furnace/ basic oxygen furnace type mills) and mini...
I don't handle much ewaste. Scrapping is a sideline for me. The higher value stuff that I've managed to accumulate will probably eventually go to ebay. One member of the forum had good things to...
Welcome. I visited your area a few times when I was in the military. I enjoyed my time there, especially the weekends in Montreal.
Good to know. What yard is it? It might be worth a road trip.
It depends on what the available competition is paying. Contact other buyers in your area and you will soon see whether or not the price offered is fair.
Fascinating video. In addition to the obvious physical dangers these workers face, increased cancer rates are an unfortunate result of working that close to high voltage lines for prolonged periods....
History shows that people will use durable goods as currency. In Germany, post WWII, cigarettes, liquor, chocolates, nylons, etc. were used as mediums of exchange. In the Communist times, blue...
Depending on how and why it failed, some of the parts may have resale value. Search the part numbers on Ebay.
I came across some Christmas lights that had rust stains on white insulation near the sockets. At first I thought it might have been due to a high ferrous content in the brass connectors, but upon...
Thanks for the info, Alloy. (For some reason my thanks button is missing.) I can appreciate wanting to stay away from the newer diesels. Lots of desperate people are resorting to black market work...
Another interesting project you have going here. I'm looking forward to hearing about your progress. Was the donor reefer trailer a wreck or was it put out to pasture because of its age? I would...
Actually, the girls are kind of cute. Better than many of the table dancers I've seen (probably too much information).
They pay so little because they can. From what I've seen, lots of businesses just seem to be happy to get the stuff off their trucks. I have to shake my head sometimes seeing box trucks full of...
I spent two years in the mid 80's just down the road at Royal Roads. One of the nicest places I've been.
Some mind boggling stats from an open pit gold mine near Cochrane, in northern Ontario. Some of what stood out for me - in Q3 2016: yield of 0.88 g per tonne of ore, producing over 127,000 ounces of...
^ Do you know of any buyers for this type of ewaste? I've never heard of anyone refining ewaste for Germanium, even as a by-product of other processes. I would be interested in what others know of...

What the piece doesn't mention is the severe damage that can ensue when the moose...
I don't know how "fluffy" gold flake is, but I think buckets the size of which was stolen would weigh more than 86 lbs. My five gallon buckets of stripped copper wire or windings usually weigh 50 -...
A whole hockey sock full.
Reactor that produces liquid fuel from CO2 in the air to be tested in portable pilot plant
An interesting concept. I wonder how viable it is - i.e. what the cost per gallon or liter is.
On the radio, they said he stole over 80 of these pucks. I guess he's well prepared for prison life by now.
We had a big bump in copper today up here. Went up about $0.30 Cdn.

Now, that's a crap load of gold. You have to wonder how big those gold pucks were.
