Copper tends to yield the most money compared to other recyclable scrap metal. If you renovate your home or own a business that produces junk metal, consider recycling it for extra cash. Most copper wire requires a little prep work to command the highest price. It often has insulation or other attached components that brings its value down. Collect scrap copper wire until you have about 20 lbs. or more, remove the components and bring it to a recycling center to sell.
1. Separate your copper wire into grades. Grade three includes copper foil and other thin pieces of copper. Grade two includes copper wire that is corroded, tarnished or painted. Grade one copper wire is clean and has no paint, varnish or any other alterations. Recycling centers pay the most for grade one wire and the least for grade three.
2. Call local recycling centers and junk or scrap centers and ask about their current copper prices. The price of copper fluctuates often and you might find a better deal depending on where you go. Ask each recycling center if they give you a lower price for your copper wire that still has insulation attached to it.
3. Remove any metallic components the copper wire might have. These can include end fittings and brass connectors. Removing these components raises the value of the copper, but leave them on if they do not come off easily with your hands.
4. Strip the insulation off if the recycling center pays less for wire with insulation. Slide a sharp knife along the insulation and peel it off. Small-gauge copper wire is challenging to strip; if you have trouble, leave the wire as is and avoid risking injury to your hands.
5. Bring your copper wire to the recycling center and watch while the clerk weighs it. Ensure that none of the wire hangs over the edge of the scale. The clerk calculates the price he will pay you based on how heavy the copper wire is.
Things Needed
Warnings
Avoid burning copper wire to remove the insulation. (reference 2)
Avoid selling to recycling centers or scrap dealers who use portable scales. These scales can become inaccurate and you might make less for your wire.

Hi
Give me contact no ber
PCB = CANCER .
NADA DE PROTECCIÓN QUE MAL QUE TRABAJAN AHI
Ttt
Wow, "safety sandals" -- so much more comfortable than the steel toe work boots, and other other safety items they insist we wear at work....
I love how they spin the wrench a quarter turn and then take it off and put it back on, just spin it in a circle really fast and then the bolt will come off faster lol
If you look closely he has a lifting lug in his way, a battery impact would be the ticket, but he only has a ring spanner so he is limited in his operational capacity. Plus he has all day and little to show for it, you don't want to wreck yourself
I have scraped a large 500KVA dry transformer already and let me tell you it was a lot of work and I had power tools. The good part was I got $3500.00 for the copper
ReCycling is Resourcefulness at it's Best !!
🇨🇦
It's easy to see that workers protection is of paramount importance at this plant...
these men are really talented at what they do. I scrap so i have some idea of what they are doing. image how much more they would process with some battery or pneumatic tools.
If only could find some of those on the curb once in a while
i wish i wish
You should see the Transformers Inside old forklift battery chargers I bought one from a scrap yard for 50 bucks and within an hour had 60 lb of copper from these two Transformers inside of it alone and the windings were half inch square pieces of copper not actual wire
I found 1 on some wasteland the other day heavy didn't have oil it had grease in it.
O.H & S would have a field day there lol
Isn’t the oil carcinogenic ?? I may be mistaken but years ago an old guy told me there were PCB’s in commercial transformer oil.
Yes, I believe it to be extremely toxic to humans and most animals
No. It’s made from seed oils.
I noticed transformers from some electronics I took apart had an odor, almost metallic smell....wh at is that?
yes you are right
If the oil was made before the seventies it had pcb'sin it. todays oil is mostly mineral oil or silicone oil, silicone being cheaper to insure because it doesnt burn if the transformer caught on fire, example a lightning strike or a short in one of the coils.
What about the health hazards of PCB's to the workers? Other than that the copper would be good.
Ron Johnson they have their osha supplied safety crocs on, its fine
@@paullosasso7147 lmao
Yes that's the best way to assure the workers have a bout with some form of, usually brain cancer In the future. The oil is toxic/radioactive. I've handled such oil in my younger years one time and was surprised to find simply allowing it to get on my hands was enough to cause my mouth to become completely numb. I quickly realized I shouldn't be playing with that crap. It's almost not worth going after the copper due to having to deal with the oil which almost always finds it's way into the ground at the spot where the transformer is dropped/stolen off the telephone pole.
nice to see such large transformers, but would be nice to have a place where you can collect the remaning oil of the parts, not the soil...
Nice 👌.. If that fell on his foot don't think he would be happy 😊
First time to see inside high voltage transformer
Those open toed sandals look totally OSHA approved and safe.
These people would benefit greatly from some power tools
Watching this video makes me realise there’s more than meets the eye....
antes vi video empresa USA,MUY LIMPIA ,con maquinas hasta para ir al baño. y no me sorprenderia fuese filial este taller empresa de la anterior empresa, aqui con la minima herramienta y aunque tratan de no contamirar lo hacen y se esponen fisicamente,sin siquiera botas de seguridad o sea es traspatio de USA. De seguro.
Nice work there lad's cheers from Scott's recycling ♻️ 👍
Who else would rather hear the natural background sound rather than the over dubbed elevator music?
I would any day.
All the correct safety gear ....
If only they had the proper tooling they could finish in a quarter of the time.
they are getting paid a quarter of the day
Same thing I thought in the first 30 seconds when they had hand wrenches
An interesting episode, I also dismantled such a large transformer :)
These guys are working with tools from the stone age.
Mmmm.... i love the taste of PCB-oil in the morning
Gracias por su explicación del Bobinado.
I wish i had that copper in my back yard L O L . interesting video, chuck out.
Ihope you put that oil on your salade.LOL
:D
@@GM-mj6nm :D
Wow that's amazing And thanks for sharing the details....I had no idea.....how much does it cost new and how much as scrap? I'm curious and thanks for the update.
@CYRUS DAWSON thank you, you're awesome!
I really don't mind to get the copper, but watching how a machine like this is built inside
Gotta admire their hard work. But... from the scrap from one transformer you could have a nice battery impact. Get that shot done three times as fast making three times the cash.
1$ for 1L of transformer oil?
WOW! Give me a contact
I wish I could get my hands on some of those transformers
Thanks for uploading this video
Thats a big one!!Damn....💪👍👍👍
OMG, This must be Mexico. In the USA even the 'non-PCB oil has some PCBs in it as both were made in the same plant. Now of course, nowadays totally non PCB oil is used.
IT MIGHT be that non PCB oil was used in these countries as PCB oil was more expensive. By the way oil is used as an insulator.
я в детстве также добывал медь из трансформаторов на электроподстанции
а потом бегал от милиции))) я из списаного воен оборудования и старых телевизоров и мониторов добывал
Bro be living my wildest dream rn
I wonder how many galllons of PCB laden oil has been poured out on the ground at that site.
Isn't that oil PCB oil , handle with care a and avoid direct contact on your exposed skin, rubber gloves guys. Probably need some respirators as well.
Careful disposal of oil is a must it is full of dioxin if I remember correctly.
and the average lifespan of these workers, exposed to PCBs all manner of industrial toxins
and happy to have a job.
Mga bossing, meron ba kayong for sale na scrap electric power transformer.? Very interesting sir..
2:31 that is an interesting fygocentric pump.What is their standard price ?
great good tehnikal video!!!!
This is an electric power company recycling depot. These people don't make money recycling, they get paid dismantling. All these still belongs to the power company. So dream on people
highyly dangerous too, highly toxic
How many kilos of copper in this kind of big transformer? I am just asking refference, pls. Reply!
they need a pnuematic socket drive. it would make quick work of the nuts and bolts
they are wearing flip flops bro.....
Those guys working in that yard in sandals....damn how many toes been lopped off!
say thanks they are not barefooted
für 100kg Kupfer bekommst in Gernany 500 € 18000 Bath
Good copper price
Nice sandals
Some large xformers are worth many times the copper value.
What was the secondary voltage of the first one i never seen 4 secondary terminals only 3
3 phases and neutral
I wonder if they check for pcbs in the oil
What about PCB's?
Шихтовал я такие трансформаторы в Барнауле...
it would be quicker with an impact wrench ?
Transformer ka old/expire Aluminium wire ka per kg price kitna hai??
dont use security boots?
No osha in 3rd world
It's also the first thing that came to mind when I saw them. The 2nd being that they did not have a mask either (like the gases contained in these transformers) and that anyway they did not protect not the soil on which they dismounted their stuff ... So I stopped the video because frankly I do not see the interest of showing the destruction of our Earth by pronouncing a so-called "ecological recycling" !!!
Pfff, a beautiful bunch of morons beach tap !!!
Which country is that? Sandals for total security kkkkk
Does anyone know where I can get 23456...... of these transformers from and a pair of those safety sandals from.
This should have been titled "How to die before you reach 50 yrs old".
I'm sure the owner is sitting at home, far enough away from those PCB's.
I'm sure they did proper tests for PCB's
Where can I find those transformers in U.S ? I want to buy them for their copper wiring inside. I need 2000MT per month.
Why do you have so many transformers!!! and where can i find so many?!
@CYRUS DAWSON Or you can make high voltage
In my country Nigeria, we prefer to refurbish it than to scrap it
Man beachte die Sicherheitsschuhe, sowie das PCB haltige Transformatorenöl im Boden. Wie war das noch mit Umweltschutz?
I wonder if they have an accident book if he drops a copper coil on his flip flop and watches his toes fall off.?? He'll be OK though..
Transformer doesn't expire. It's either faulty or it needs maintenance.
Only in other countries can you wear sandals instead of work boots to a dangerous job site.
How can we know that it was safe to open, i want also to dismantle one
Bei uns Plastiktüten verbieten und dort literweise Altöl im Erdreich versickern lassen. Wie krank! Na wenigstens haben sie teilweise Handschuhe an.
did it have any electronics inside?why was that part skipped??
Bet they only got like $5 per transformer, would make a lot more here in the STATES
Belle le scarpe anti infortunistica. Ľ olio fenolico ci friggi il pranzo o lo butti nel fiume?
You sell the oil by the liter for $1 dollar. What are they doing with the oil after buying it , do you know ?
Fry chicken
How much money do you make per hundred pounds
With all the money they're making you figure they could afford some power tools it go a lot faster but I guess over there labour is cheap
But isn't that loaded with carcinogenic pcbs and pretty much everybody working there as going to likely have cancer in the next 15 years
Très cool
They did that the hard way lol once you have the copper bearing parts you toss them into a nice hot fire with wood over the top of that and it won't even smoke
All you have to do is dunk it in water and it's number 2 copper it's like 10 cents a pound less lol
Probably would get more for it as a scrap transformer lol.
Mystery Buyer nope
El PCB no es peligroso?
Шутка формата "теперь понятно откуда дорогущее масло идемитсу берётся" была?
how much do you cost 1 kilogram of copper and aluminum?
copper sells for 6$ - 4,30$ per kg
allumiun sells for 1,50$ - 1$ per kg
in my country (Turkey)
Que hacen con el aceite ?
Open toe shoes. Cloth gloves, for some. No eye protection. Would imagine personal safety equipment is a bring your own there. Some of those transformers look pretty old. Wonder if the oil they are selling for a $1 a liter has PCB's?
Bala pkuds
Duh! Wat's PCB??? :)
Right!!!! lol that was my first thought too! do you even think those poor works knows, they are swimming in Polychlorinated biphenyls contaminates !
transformer oil is pcb and they work with no protection and oil all over what about polution and skin cancer
Very high oil contamination of soil.
All that copper is heaven for tweakers
12:53 на твк110лм похож.
Только побольше
PCB's just dripping on the ground.. LOL
What about the PCBs?
3rd world countries don’t care about health or just don’t know what the word carcinogenic means
It's a very dangerous job and no one protection?
Guy who disembling even not have socks :D
Put some steel cap boots on ya feet
how much is the price of 1 transformer, sir
aluminum is normal is the low voltage side of the transformers
Can you sell this copper.?
Mein Gutester das gibt bei uns viel Kohle beim Schrotti bei so viel Kupfer metall
On his Flip flops 🚑
Ключь трещётку купите так быстрее😂
хех
You know the trafo is worth more than the copper's weight, right? Not smart folks. I'd rewind the trafo and resell it.
At those yards they are there for a reason by then. It also means fixing it, storing it, advertising and finding a seller. Which would cost these kinds of businesses more from time spent
@@sneakyguy4444 I'd be willing to purchase 15 million USD yearly just for the transformer core. They did all the hard work taking the old windings off. I'd then resell them wound up to 3rd world countries that need them.
@@rgstever I'll pay 20 million!
Сколько меди в них😍😍😍
Good question. That's what I've been trying to know. Who can help
