Great video nice break down on what to expect when cashing in and different types of brass i never knew it was red brass cool ✊😎🔥
Great video very informative keep up the good work
Thanks for the comment and kind words.
Great video Tin Man ✊😎🔥
Thanks for watching. Stay well.
Thanks for the video, very informative. I was wondering if it is worth it. As far as I can say for my area, we are still not getting the prices everyone else is. Our yards are just not wanting to give prime for scrap. Take care and I will see you on the next video.
You could also stockpile the copper and once you have a big load drive it to a scrapyard a little ways away. Not sure your situation but I will bring my lower priced items to Sarnia (20 mins. away) and copper, brass, gold circuit boards, extrusion, wire, etc to London 50 mins. away. The price is well worth the gas on the vehicle.
how current is this video. I live outside of Chicago and only get $1.50 lb for clean brass.
Just did July 1st. 2024. Price online Zubicks Scrap Metals London.
Happy Canada Day Tin Man ✌️. 🐎
Those mosfets are silver plated over the copper
I wonder if I crossed over into Canada, could I scrap my brass and copper over there? You're getting a WAY better price even after the exchange rate. I get $2/lb for clean yellow. Only getting $3.30/lb for #2 copper..... Also, I recently opened over 30 sealed units and the only ones that were aluminum windings were the mini fridge motors. Had 3 and all 3 were aluminum. They were the only ones.
Not sure if you would have to claim as income, but if you could the prices in London, Ont. are worth the drive.
By weight the board themselves are like 80% copper after processing pretty sure scrap yard will not take it though
They will only take as ewaste unfortunately. But still better than nothing and better than ending up in the landfill.
Great video unfortunately we don't get any ceiling fans is this part of the world

Thanks, you too.
Pozdrawiam serdecznie 🤗👍👍👍
I'm really enjoying watching your videos. I was a scrapper full time about 7 years ago and loved it. I went through some life changes and quit diving and got a job. Last week I decided to pick it back up because of our financial situation and I'm having a blast! I didn't realize how much I missed it! I'm still having trouble telling the difference between cast Zinc and Aluminum though. Thank you for all of the information you provide!
Cast zinc is normally heavier than aluminium
@@ratdetecting4780 Thank you for letting me know that. I have honestly never thought to test the weight. Sometimes it's the simple things lol
Thanks for the comment. Yeah, hard to stay away since It is almost unavoidable where I am driving around. Hard to pass up too. Stay well and happy scrapping.
@@TinManScrapperthat’s for sure. It bugs me so bad to be driving past scrap!!!
The part that you mentioned as steel at 6:49 has aluminium. Why not sell that as irony aly?
That's ironic.

I like your videos. Very informative. However I have never seen a trampoline pole that was a quarter inch thick.
Thanks for the comment. Yeah, trampoline poles are not exactly 1/4 inch but it would be in same category as other steel poles and pipes.
Love the tips and tricks my friend. Id love to learn how you clean copper wire and motors for time efficiency. Or is it all just speed. Happy canada day.
Speed and repetition is the big ones. A grinder also is nice because it does help cutting down wear and tear on your body.
Final weights: 1 motor with copper (4lbs 3 oz x $.052 = $2.18) broken down (3l s 6 oz x $0.12 = $ 0.41) + #2 copper (13oz x $5.23 = $4.25) makes it total $4.66 apart. Note final copper from the 5 fan motors 3lbs 6 oz.
I tried cleaning my burnt copper wires with vinegar salt n lemon juice but after a day I rinsed. it and left to dry when I got back in a few hours o noticed it turn green and I never used baking soda after that maybe do it from scratch n see how it goes if anyone had an experience like that I would love to hear their comment thanks
the Baking sofa helps neutralize the reaction afterwards. I have never tried burnt wire, I wonder if that could hinder the cleaning with vinegar
You're a legend bro, thank you!
Happy to help. Thanks for the compliment! Stay well
I disassembled mine will see
Good luck! Stay well.
Thanks for the great video and information
Glad you enjoyed it! Thanks for watching.
Nice
Thanks for watching.
Really good information. I would say one of your best videos.
Glad you enjoyed it. Thanks for watching and the comment. Stay well and happy scrapping.
Should I be scrapping computer chargers and taking out the little copper out of them? How about printer, hdmi cables and charger cables. Should I be taking off the black outer rubber coating and just keep the smaller wires as 60%?
Unfortunately now that copper is so high, all wire from electronics are going to be marked at %40 I was told $1.95lb right now in London. Not really anything to complain about being $1.95 though.
Still worth to strip it down or just cut the ends?
@@mr.btheband I don’t strip down because you lose a lot of weight from plastic and in my opinion time and little copper recovery.
Okay! Good to know. So just cut the ends and perhaps just take the plastic cover off each charger? Thanks for answering questions as well as all the video’s with information. I did a few and the wires were pretty small so didn’t know if it was worth it.
Her we go😂
Use a skill saw instead of a grinder to cut the copper it cuts through like butter
Thanks for the tip. I will try that.
I use a grider on ALL Metals stainless willl send sparks
Yup, good test to see if stainless or aluminum, as aluminum won’t spark. Thanks and stay well.
Another great source for aluminum is patio furniture and lawn chairs. Don't those slip by
Yes, I agree.
Outstanding video... and no time wasted providing many details. You are a TRUE PRO Tin Man and many thanks for this simple but great informational video!
Glad you enjoyed it! Thank you for that huge compliment.
Another informative video,Tin Man,Im always learning great stuff on scrapping from u!
Glad you enjoyed it. Thank you for watching and the comment. Stay well and happy scrapping.
would it be worthwhile to melt the copper into bars and sell it that way? You could get out all/most of the impurities that way as well
unfortunately some yards won’t accept melted bars because they question the purity of the metal. Melting them would make it easier to store though.
Bro I have a four gallon water jug just about full . I understand what you are talking about .
Oil filed heaters like that one should be drained and probably dispose of love the EARTH.
I agree, that is why I bring them to the scrapyard. Atleast kept out of landfill from the garbage truck
What is the cost of aquiring wire
I get all the time from construction sites and usually scrapping while going to work, so little effort
I live in London Ontario
Awesome tips and tricks to maximize your scrap dollar. Here where I live the prices are not so good. When you can maximize your scrap dollar, it's always a good thing. Take care my friend and I will see you on the next video.
Thanks for watching. Yeah, it is crazy how prices vary depending on where you live.
Another good video with good information 👍👍
Glad you enjoyed it. Thank you for the comment and for watching. Stay well
G day James Boy a few more days "Holidays!" Yes yrs ago the screen was alum. Ths
Yup, last week of school! I remember when the screen was aluminum. Too bad given the amount of screen I find.
I love aluminum as a material but one of its great benefits is a downside for scrappers: lightweight 🪶
True, but I find heat sinks on circuit boards have some good weight and count as extrusion. Sheet aluminum is very light, but it too can add up over time.
Hi from Jamaica can we link up
Greeting. Thanks for watching.
Very informative thankyou
Thank you for watching. Stay well and happy scrapping.
Tin Man your work bench needs to be raised 2 feet. That must kill your back mate. 😮
Yup, I have recently raised it. Thanks. You were not the only one who suggested that. Thanks for the concern and for watching. Stay well.
Note: some prices have gone up since taping. Pop cans are $1.10 lb in London, Ont. Extrusion :$1.30, cast $0.90lb and sheet $0.65lb.
How did you get rid of the Freon?
Luckily I got it flushed from a registered person.
I concur. Your videos are extremely helpful and invaluable. I'm finding more and more that "scrapping" has been a good way to exercise that muscle in the brain that really helps give me not only something to do, another stream of income, but also a means to hone a skill. The skill of "scrapping" is very much transferable to other skilsets and talents. If you are in any kind of trade that involves being a service technician or installer, scrapping is guaranteed to help in you in either of those fieds. Just like althletes vary their work out routine, anybody who works in a trades-related field can benefit greatly from practicing the skill of scrapping.
Thank you for your comment and kind words. I too find scrapping therapeutic since I can focus on taking the item apart and not think of other things. Stay well and happy scrapping.
So whats the bottom line? How much is to be made from scrapping this one unit? I am not a scrapper and I have a brand new one that was sent to me defect, which has been replaced and they dont seem to want to take back the defective. Trying to see if it is it worth my time to strip this thing down versus trying to sell it for $50
Well if it is defective I don’t know how much you would make selling it in workable condition. There is probably $20 worth of scrap metal. Prices are nice right now and these have a lot of #2 copper inside $5.39lb Cdn for example
@TinManScrapper Thank, And thank you for taking the time to reply.
perfect I learned a lot, thanks
Glad it was helpful! Thanks for watching
DESPERADO MUCH !!!
Hey Tin Man. First time watching. Great job on the video and demonstration. That ring is called a commutator and it’s what the brushes contact to make the motor run. I know you’re not fixing’em so it might not seem important, but it’s helpful to have a working knowledge of what you’re scrapping so you can plan your jobs, just as a general principle. I leave stuff like that as-is and just toss it in a bucket of teeny copper bearing items. My yard calls it breakage and they don’t give a heck of a lot for it, but 100lbs adds up quick. It’s easy to get upside down timewise taking fiddly things apart for so little return. Great channel. I know how I’ll be spending my evening!
Thank you for the comment and for watching. Yeah, I don’t spend a lot of time on these either if I begin and they are stubborn. I too throw them in a bucket and they do add up quickly as you said. Thanks again. Stay well and happy scrapping
