Does anyone have the link to the recent socket template that Nick used. Need to buy a new one so wanted to check that one out. Thank you
I just watched an 18 minute video about a bin full of copper... What happened to my social life 😅😂😅
😂😂😂
If thats the video i might aswell not watch
Cheers I'm with ya.. I'm not watching it 😂 I'm off to the pub,!
This is such a fantastic concept. It's awesome to hear of a company that does this. The price with what you get really surprised me too! Great job NB & GC!
That is fantastic idea I am apprentice but I could gather small cut offs on jobs , since I do sweep them up (believe it or not I use brush) 😂 hope it comes to Ireland
Excellent video, full of great facts and saving money too, Thanks Nick.😊
Thanks for your generosity. I thought your give away was just going to be for this video.
I'm not even a sparky but i can appreciate the gesture to the others😂
You didn't allow an hour sat on the M6 for the second one 😂😂
I am just in talks with them as we fit new pond pumps and pond equipment, Thanks for the heads up on this.
Great video, thanks Nick! I've been in touch with Green Cable but they don't cover my area at the mo, gutted 😢
Had my 1st collection on tuesday.
Easy to do . Great idea
Thanks Paul, great to have you on board 😁
Great video nick ..always learning from your you tube channel.🙌👍👌
Tell them to hit Chelmsford up Nick 👍🏼😂
Dont get as much as the scrapyard but worth it in my opinion for the convenience
And whilst they're collecting your scrap, you can be out earning money or sit of a beach with a cocktail.
Round by me it seems to be pretty much exactly the same price wise as the scrap yards, plus the convenience of having a bin to store it in.
Mind are a great charity... used to do voluntary work for them. Mental health should not be a taboo subject. You lost your dad, and i can tell it still gets to you, lost mine at 8... still on antidepressants. Fair play nick. HOWEVER, why is my van full of flexicon? (no for real, i use it a lot under floors for cat 6, kidding mate)
Great video Nick
And Nick...thats the way that a business does it...just like talking to a bank manager../ He wants details , costings etc....In/Out.
Thanks Nick, watched the vid, and have signed up. Hopefully the extra cash I get will go towards financing my golf addiction.😁
As addictions go, it's a pretty decent one 😄
RE performance on CZcams is looking for a sparky for work on his new unit. Your the man
Hi Nick - when you calculated the costs I think you only included the journey to the scrap yard and the time there but not the journey home so the time and fuel costs would be even slightly higher so an even better deal
I did mate 👍
Good thing to have 👍🏻
Good video mate
The only channel where I click "Like" before it's even started. Not been let down yet.

@@NBundyElectricalthat's at least two of us 😜
you forgot if your going up the scrap guy in stafford you could call in at parkside bakery on the way back, result!
very true mate
It's definitely worth it for convenience, but for someone like, for example, my brother in law or that guy who has half a tonne collected that 10-15% would add up very quickly
That was only the raw scrap value. After time and fuel was taken into account greencable came out on top of all of them.
@@Pugjamin agreed, but for example my brother in law is a scrap man (he drives around collecting it) so his monthly loads definitely add up. When I did it myself we'd weigh in the steel daily and then the non ferrous metals monthly and we regularly had a couple of tonnes. The monthly weigh ins sometimes hit £10k+ so if you think about it, £40 ish per £200 is £800 lost for what was basically a full day of back and forth to the scrap yard
Absolutely, it's all about economies of scale. However, the more material you have, the more time, effort and resource it'll take to handle it.
Our customer with 500kg per time would have to take at least half a day to ferry that to the local scrap yard, in their own vehicles - which would have to be cleared out etc. They're simply too busy with better paying work to have to do that so Greencable is the best solution. Important to note that in many regions we cover, we pay the same as regional yards - and sometimes more.
@@GreencableTeam I do agree that for a lot of businesses, it would make sense. For those in the scrap industry, though, probably not. There are a lot of actual scrappers I know, though, that wouldn't benefit from it, especially if they weigh other metals like steel in at the same time. Plus, I know a few guys who go mental if their money isn't in immediately, lol. It's definitely a great business, though. I genuinely hope more people use your services 😀
@@GreencableTeam also, have you considered sticking go pros on and filming your work. Could be a good way to promote 🤔 👌🏿
I watched this on Adam's channel and I did wonder if you got more if you went to the local scrap dealer but you proved the point with the comparison unless you are very near one I think it would be worth it with the T & E etc. Does the price fluctuate with copper prices?
Hey Anthony, yes I prices will fluctuate depending on the LME prices.
I’m just waiting for them to come this way
I hope they come down here soon.... (south coast) , been interested since i saw slept in a skip guy (dave savery :P ) review this
Lots of folk waiting for us down there... we're working hard to expand ASAP.
Does the work with like power kettle leads etc ? I work for a company that does equipment racks that we normally use IEC to IEC power leads. As well as data, armoured power and date etc. we currently get this collected with a WEE waste bins and I think would be a good idea for use as a company to get some excess money back that we wouldn’t normally get
Yep! We buy all types of copper cable, including those with plugs/attachments on. If you cut them off, then the cable is worth 3 times the value 👍
A lot of companies are approaching us with the desire to begin cashing in on their scrap cable, instead of letting it go for free, or in same cases - pay for it to be skipped away!
@@GreencableTeam Thank you! company is in Scotland so I will speak with those people a little higher up and ask the question especially since your aren't available up here yet. Thanks NICK!
The 25mm you was talking about its be weighed in as singles if you was to strip all your twin and earth you would earn a lot more because you would get the the earth which is bare bright and the brown and blue would be singles
Stripping some thicker cable can be worth the while, however thinner cable - just isn't worth your time.
@@GreencableTeam if it holds a bend im stripping the lot 🤣 I'm currently sat on 500kg of bare bright wire and around 200kgs of number 2 wire and the list goes on 😆 ive got a big collection of every non ferrous metal is for my Christmas bonus
@@bfdmanbfd Nice 😁😁😁
Thats instane😂
Would be good when they do my area
Uk metals might cover your area, same concept as greencable
You need to factor in your scrap licence costs as well.
Waste carriers licence is the same either way
They should fit a lock to the bin, do they pay by cash if not paying to your back account means you'll get stung for income tax 😮 I'd stick to the normal scrap yard
All scrap yards(reputable ones anyway) pay card, cheque or bank transfer as they legally can't pay cash anymore.
@@conorlanders8401 Thank god it's no like that in the Republic of Ireland
@heffo1992 it's mostly to stop thieves i think(along with photo Id being required). It's not being "stung" for income tax. It's income like any other and is therefore taxed accordingly.
Customers are welcome to install locks on their bins if they wish, however most don't need to as they're stored in a safe place at all times. And a lock won't deter someone from stealing the entire bin, by wheeling it away. It is illegal for anyone to buy scrap metal using cash - The Scrap Metal Dealers Act (SMDA) 2013
Yes please let me ring
Does it bug me that 74 minutes is not 1.14hrs and 64 minutes is not 1.04 hours, yes. Is this an entirely me problem? Also Yes. Does it matter? Probably not :)
😂😂
Because 74 minutes isn’t 1.14hrs… Think about it 90 minutes wouldn’t be 1.30hrs would it, it’d be 1.50hrs.
Not a problem if your working in base 60 😂😢
£7 a kg for bright thats Insane. Had a job about 18 years ago to strip out several tones of big cable. Copper went from £1500 to £4200 per tone by the time I had got it all stripped. It was like a military operation to keep it out of sight. Took 1 1/2 tone on a pallet at a time, scrap yard never even asked anything other than I hope you don’t want cash
When are they coming to Surrey big man?
Not sure yet mate I’ll ask
I’m on the cusp of getting one as all the reviews are fantastic
low volume
What is with the random bots that have profile pictures of just cameltoes raiding every channel on youtube lately?
Greencable don’t support my area. 🙄
Uk metals might cover your area, similar concept to green cables
How much they paying you for this video?
Green cable are a complete scam! They offered me 50% the value I get locally!!
Absolute disgrace
😂 Can't help but bite on this one:
1) We didn't pay Nick a penny for creating the video, he's a genuine customer who likes what we do
2) We're a scam? Do expand on this claim.
3) We offered you 50% of the value? Doubtful, but do share the material type, your location and prices you were quoted and we'll go from there 😁
@@GreencableTeamput your money where your mouth is then!
List the prices for household cable in these locations
Yeovil
Basingstoke
Leicester
Doncaster
Blackpool
Post them here then anyone has the ability to prove you or me wrong when they check via another platform.
I will admit my maths was of by 8.1% you offered me £1.55 for household when I was got £2.20 the same day locally so a 41.9% reduction using you.
@@TheRealistOfTheReal
No problem:
Yeovil - we don't serve there yet
Basingstoke - we don't serve there yet
Leicester - £1.85/kg today
Doncaster - £1.85/kg - today
Blackpool - we don't serve there yet
It's worth noting that scrap yards will sometimes pump prices up on specific materials for a variety of reasons; market fluctuations, meeting sale orders with their buyers etc.
In areas that are more difficult to access, we can't always pay the highest rates due to the costs we incur to serve customers there - and people naturally understand that.
We aim to provide generally consistent, competitive rates for the materials we buy. Sometimes we'll pay more, sometimes a little less, but when you take into account the time and resource to do it yourself - we're typically a very appealing solution which is why so many people now choose to use us.
Scammers
Interesting…. Nicks been deleting comments 😂 where my second comment gone??
It wasn’t offensive or rude but it did state the rates offered to me and the fact I was slightly off in my calculations and that the different was actually 41.9%??????
rubbish idea. Find yourself a proper scrap man and do fair divvies with him. Take more money for it, and all the money goes to people you know.
