Scrapping Metal STILL WORTH IT? Oct. 2023

Had a friend who used to scrap ... If you saw him out and about and asked him what he was up to, he say, "I'm Scrappity scap scrap scrappin!" I 'll never get that outta my head lol

If only they would buy worn out tires

I appreciate that you keep used sh!t and actually use it in other projects.

Love a man that says I have enough crapp

Even if you're only making a few bucks, you have to compare it to the alternative. My local landfill has a recycling program, and they take metal, but they charge a per ton rate just like they charge for trash. If I only make $30 or $40 to take my metal to the scrap yard, but I compare that to $30 or $40 I would have had to pay the county to dump it in their recycling bin, I'm essentially $60-80 ahead.

I did a project last summer dismantling a bottling plant for my brother, who managed the plant and didn't want the liability of his employees scrapping the equipment. It was mostly stainless, and I was able to yield about $12k for the metal and close to $15k for the electronics (on Ebay). Needless to say, it was worth the effort, even if it took me every weekend for 3 months. Hard work is good for the soul, and the wallet.

When did the 3rd channel come out??? Never saw that mentioned in any other video...??

I have a scrap guy who pulls the old boilers out of the basement for me. He charges $350 to take it out of a basement, then scraps it for himself. That guy is rolling in money because almost all the plumbers in my area use him. If I could find a couple young guys that can do that kind of work, I would be making a fortune myself.

Gus scrappin.

I put my blinders on,hahaha.

Hey Man, I didn't you have a third channel! More surprises up the pipe?

Nice oil caddy!

I found a good size roll of copper wire looks like it fell off a work truck, i gwbe it to a gut that scraps, idk what it was worth.

It’s a quick way to score some extra bones.

Was that a towbar and a car jack - just fit a new ram surely, the wheels work well

It seems like Everytime I go to the scrap yard I leave there with a bunch of nails in my tires and spend way more money fixing tires lol

I know where you went

I love that you scrap. I recycle as much as I can and in our state we pay a deposit on cans and bottles i started my boys on taking cans back for the deposit and they’re doing it on their own. We only got one might as well, save as much as we can.

Jen upload a new video

Dead rat?

The pickup is the key: if you can just throw stuff on and kick it off at the scrapyard, then yes. I’d do it.

I just scrapped some very small bits today, but this is Germany: as a private shmoe, you can scrap stuff at certain collection points “for free”, meaning you don’t have to pay to throw it away. Old school scrap yards still exist, but I don’t know if you can show up with just a pickup or a small trailer.

Don’t leave us hanging!!! What did Gus find? 😂

I love to see the recycling. The more we re-use material, the longer we make our resources last. Thanks.

It’s not in your pile at home!

As an aussie in sudney its always funny seeing people playing in leaf litter. We are always warned about funel web spiders red belly black snakes or even a brown hiding amongst the leaves.

What the hell is this? Where did this channel come from? I didn’t know it existed! It’s going to take me a long time to get caught up!
What is the difference between NNKH2 and miscellaneous?

Yeah we just cleaned the scrap out of our barn. Made 3 trips to the scrap yard. 1500 LB of general scrap got me like $110. Its was really more about getting that crap off my property then it was about the money. I did however decide to stop saving aluminum cans/ radiators, just not much value there.

I am subscribed to all you and Jens channels, I will turn 70 yrs old next March, i have been scrapping junk since i was 12 yrs old, collecting everything from cars, trucks, tractors, you name it, ive drug it home and junked it. My wifes family owns a salvage yard so growing up around a junk yard since i was 10 yrs old, i gets in your bones. KEEP ON SCRAPPIN< ALRIGHTY NOW!, luv u two.

Scrappin' is worth it for guys who can't do what you know how to do-- which is to buy old cars and boats, get em running, and resell them. The only thing you are lacking in the process is a cheap car paint place that will work you out a deal. You could be racking up the profits by simply buying old C-4 vettes, gettin' em running and repainting them. You could take a 3 thousand dollar vette and make it into an 8 thousand dollar vette. But also other older sports cars. There is a big market for old Chevy's. Usually, it is the body work that makes an old sports car too expensive to fix up and paint. If you can do THAT part yourself? A cheap auto paint joint can do the rest, and do it cheaper and faster than you can learn how to do it at your house. Always get the polyurethane base coat clear coat; those enamel jobs are worthless and total sh--. I'm sure you knew that; just saying it for the novices here.

Not bad chris

Just realized this channel exists after watching your other two channels for several months. Just a suggestion: make one for cars, one for working around the garage, one for boats, bikes scooters…. It would be less confusing for your viewers, but maybe that’s how you get more views…. Otherwise, I like your car vids the best.

its only worth it if you have it in bulk or can find it in bulk. If you are driving around multiple towns slowly filling your truck bed, you are losing money. Cost you more to fill up your truck with fuel than what scrap you can stuff it with.

Nnkh always finding treasures 💰

How much$/ton for regular steel?

How amazing t he e prices I'd metal fluctuates on a scrapyard,,whenever you bring a good load,,it's lesser cash valuw

Always fun. Thanks!

Chris really admire your thrifty, use everything attitude... I wonder what our landfills would look like if everyone did the same.. Im the same way. Great job... Trash into money!

Looks like Gusman found a dead bird. Lol he likes that more that the ball lolol

Scrap is worth it if you know how to scrap right lol and hustle! Separate your precious metal from the steel also old batteries and pumps and so on many ways to get too cash for scrap!

gus

scrapping is def not worth as a main job unlike people think it gets. Its great as a side hobby or if you know where to get it all the time but with gas prices going up and scrap going down, its not worth it anymore. Smart thing to do is find things that you can sell that people or company throws out.

Get it gus good dog 😂 I scrap everything it keeps it out of the landfill thanks for sharing this six stars

oops mist a channel hitting the buttons now then doing a catch up

That nice piece you scrapped you will need next moth and will spend an age looking for it 😁

Gus man is good at sniffing out the deals.

Очень хорошие цены на металл ! У нас В России зарплата 200$ в месяц.

It isnt worth it for me at my shop. At least for steel and iron anyways. Closest scrapyards are about 30min away. I create so little scrap (i keep most drop cuts and whatnot)

I have an elderly neighbor that scraps for fun. I just call him and he picks up whatever I have left on the side of the garage. He has a big dump trailer that he fills up and takes it down to the yards i nentioned. Its a win win for all of us.

It would be interesting if you took a few bucks from scrapping and bought a winning powerball or megamillions lottery ticket.
