Love that shirt! Steve from California!
Stayed till the end, love the shirt. (Both shirts ;) ) I'm a scrapper here in Spain, its just a hobby at the moment, too many people do it here, not enough to go round. I save it up all year and take it in at Xmas normally. I did 5 trailers last time, about a ton on steel, plus all the non-ferris I have accumulated
Yes, certain areas where there's a lot of competition, it is hard to get metal.. The way you could go about getting more is contacting businesses and other companies that have metal all the time. Remember people always have something they want to get rid of
Loading scrap is the worst part of scrapping.
Keep going. You're doing great!
Stayed to the end. Your definitely a strong guy, moving all that stuff by yourself.
Yeah and I'm older now. I wish a was 20 again
You put me in mind of myself the way you scrap i do the same
I stayed until the young and I like your shirt.
I stayed to the end and like your shirt.haha
I'm 60 and disabled and still putting around
Love the shirt. Love the hustle
Thanks.. One of the things I didn't say in a video is. I don't pay for scrap metal all this is free..
Work smarter not harder is what I say! Great video of earning a buck!
I watched the entire video. I just got up about 730 sitting here watching videos yours came across my feed. I enjoyed it. Great video keep them coming.
I'm usually up at 5:30 in the morning. There will be more videos in the future but this week it's vacation time
I always watch to the very end 👍👍
That's awesome.
I scrap all the time. I separate everything. I do junk removal in Mobile Alabama. Easy Money 😎👍🤜🤛💲💲💲
I admire your hard work! 👏🏻🤙🏼
Thanks. It's one of the reasons why I started this CZcams channel. I was posting a lot of stuff on facebook and my customers had seen what I do. So I figured maybe somebody would be interested in watching how I work.
@@Adventureswithmike1 Thanks for sharing! 👍🏻
Love you shirt and the video to
Love the shirt, I’m 57 with a pacemaker still loading appliance feel your pain I get winded pretty fast tho
scrap on . did a scrap run wed and went to a closer yard and got 10 cents pound for light iron .did good
Compresors and motors have 💰 value for scrap
I do scrapping too
I hate those tread mills, but I pickem up, yeah, you can sure get injured wrestling with them, they want to fold or unfold at the wrong time.
Yeah I can't tell you how many times I smashed my fingers... I have permanent ptsd
I watched to the end
Okay dark humor on the shirt, but I still smiled. Oh so watched to the end. Tread mill would have cleaned. I think it's all a matter of ratio. If a scrapper is getting a lot of bulk then maybe pass on cleaning. But because of competition, then cleaning/separating metals perhaps worthwhile. Keep doing the thing.
Damn , try Rocky's next time , nice load
Lol
Nice video good ❤❤🇵🇰🇵🇰🇵🇰🇵🇰
I liked and subscribed and read all the comments all but that really long one I read half of it and I watched the whole video nice shirt.
I was picking up soda bottles and returning them to the drug store for the deposit and then buying one cent candy back in the late 70s before I was ten years old I was also mowing yards with my older brother. I am also an hour from the good scrap yard.
Yes, some people don't mind working. I'm Going Out and hustling to get that money. I was the same way picking up cans when I was younger when I lived in the city.. It was just easy money. Now that i'm older I expanded on that.. I've just never been afraid of a hard day's work
What do you do with batteries after removal?
Fords theatre😂😂 and red wings had me dead😂
Jordan, share my videos everywhere, please.
@@Adventureswithmike1 will do gotta share the Adventure
Awsome new sub here
Couple great loads Mike very nice early to rise you get more done before 8 then most do all day that's how I was scraping even when I worked my day stared at 4am go check my set net from 4 -5:30 go home shower go work security 6am -2 pm then go check net again go home eat dinner go check net before bed at 11:30 you had to make ends meet. Right. ( I feel ya bud. )
Awesome stuffman. Ive been going at it about a year now and love it. Do youeverhave any luck reselling items that you think are worth more? For example a stainless steel ramp?(thats been one of my few sales. Id like to get better at that aspect but lack the marketing skils)
I have resold some things in the past . It's all easier now. Because I bring the stuff to a friend of mine Who list the stuff online for sale So I don't have to be bothered. I let him make the prices up. And I get a 50 /50 split.
Love your videos. The appliances that you receive is staggering. How much do you make on the cords alone. Im small time but i run into cord cutters all the time. Ive learned to dislike them in a funny way.
I usually just trim the cord off if I remember.. It's only 60 cents a pounds. But it's an easy upgrade. Yeah, and I absolutely hate people who go around scabbing just cords.
I scrap the same way you do
Sometimes you just have to engage Beast mode ..lol
Great video. In order to make a 100.000 a year. You have to be physically fit so you can lift a million pounds. Keep doing the thing.
You are correct, it is a lot of work and it's very hard on my body... I'm not getting any younger but now that I have a friend helping me. It really makes it easier... Next step is a dump trailer so I can save myself. Time and frustration unloading...
I dropped one of those treadmills out of my truck bed onto my leg and it hurt so bad I threw up lol Never make that mistake again.
You need to get your self a mini excavator wit a thumb. I can cramb 3ton on a 8x14 trailer. I live an hour from the scrap yard so weight is money
Enjoying the content just sub'd 👍🍻🇭🇲
Bom dia 🤗😉
Red wings 👍 wear like iron
They do. they just really hurt my lower back.. I've had boobs that were more comfortable but I wear them out too fast.
How's it going? I used to drive 45 minutes to get rid of my load, At a scrapyard.
And that was one way just to make 60 bucks.
When I did it, everything went.
Even The cords?
When I come back? I did not have anything in the back of my truck.
That's sucks bro . My house is walking distance from the scrap yard . I don't even use a motor vehicle when I scrap. I'm blessed and thankful
@Jesus-es5su Yeah I don't mind being Far from the scrap yard. Cause the file lived closer. I wouldn't get nowhere near the amount of scrap that I do.. Don't be way too much competition
I scrapped for 10 years. If you're not bleeding at the end of the day, you didn't work!!
Exactly...
I heard one of the previous owners of my mom's farmhouse "filled in" a stream on the property using all kinds of scrap mostly metal that he could get his hands on, then buried it all on dirt.... Seems like it would be good for the property to get rid of the buried metal, maybe bring back the stream... thoughts?
Only a Moron would do something like that. Who knows what he buried and the environmental repercussions. Old farmers are known for barrying stuff
They didn't think about that back then. Remember trash pickup was not a thing til after 1950's. Back then they burned and buried stuff.
I watched straight on through to the end. Let all the ads run, and they were all short ones. I have wondered about that, what counts for a ' view ', how that is calculated. I do container deposit, bottle and can collecting, but I am doing it in later life. Had it been going earlier in life then I could have done that for a modest living. Not too good now with the exorbitant cost of living. I figure that I am making, on container deposit, what someone doing a crappy inner city factory job was making in the 1970s. I am thus 45 years behind on cost of living - rate of inflation.
That's actually how I started doing scrap when I lived in the city. Me and my brothers would go around and collect cans and bottles and bring them to the bottle. Or turn place which was only a few blocks from my house.. But it goes with anything the more volume you have to more money you'll make. We would ride around on our bikes and collect them It was easy and it was actually kind of fun.. But nowadays it's not that much money to survive on. But if you're Going to be collecting them if you see any copper wire anything with a chord Ore pieces of aluminum just try to grab the better stuff that pays more.
Where I'm from we get 10 cents per can
Why did you scrap that cool brass crab?
It's still in the bucket..
I was just sorting through the stuff nothing is final yet
@@Adventureswithmike1 ok cool
I would take it apart but I'm greedy lol
That's not being greedy if.. you have the time go for it..
A fruit based diet would help your longevity. What is the typical value per kilo scrap metal ?
There's different types of metal and they all have different values. Copper would be $6.50 US pre kilo. We're Something like tin shred .22 cents us a kilo.. So as you see it can It varies wildly
Just found you…stayed to the end. Upstate New York Granny here. You should have taken the treadmill apart! But you got mad at it instead! Well, your decision, not mine. How old is your daughter? Take care…
Some times it just easier to send it instead of fighting for a little bit..
Hi Michael Mark booth like your head there is all shaved where's my head to shave be nice I shaved my face got a little better looking the prices is up a little bit at the Mill at the scrap yard right behind the Spectrum in Harrisburg it's a big yard among his yard check Caldwell and Booth metals go there
Absolutely if you don't your just throwing money away
How much you pay in tax and soc
It changes year to year... Because of expenses and Write offs
Can anyone help me get lead battery scrap from USA or Canada. Please comment
Appreciate
Cant scrap fridges in uk
I'm heard that...
Just weigh motor in off back of them
Scoff the bottom of your boots with some heavy grit sandpaper
Yeah I'm gonna have to do something. It's funny because on the bottom of the soul it says oil and slip resistant.. 😆😅🤣
I need a pickup truck 🛻
Do it...
where do you find your scrap do you go around on garbage day
No I am not a street scrapper or a dumpster diver.. A lot of people call me to haul away their stuff And I have 18 plumbing and heating companies that feed me scrap. And I also have banks, real estates, insurance companies, construction companies. Contractors that also call me to Holloway there material.. I've been doing this for 25 years. And in the town I live in. I built up a good reputation. I provide friendly and reliable quick up services for them. And in the long run, its paid off.
he steal scrap metal from the scrapyard and bring it back to them lol
@@DarkKnight-mu4gc nope...
Who ever keeps saying its not worth the time to separate literally everything are the ones that dont make as much money. Its just "quick" money. Many of us get all of this for free and sometimes they will unexpectedly hand you a twenty.
Get yourself eye protection.
I've been using safety squints. 😆 🤣 😂
100 thousand a year 😂 good luck
Well i've been doing it for the last fifteen years.. So thanks for the good luck Dumb ass. But I don't need it.
He's a big liar!
@artaxerxes2363 thanks for watching
@Adventureswithmike1 yeah we'll see what Uncle Sam has to say about this!
You can call me a liar all you want.
wtf you make $100k+ / year doing scrapping?!
Yeah.. I also do house and property clean outs.. That's where the big money is .
