  • Scrap metal prices update.
    Copper price is very good, Brass is great, Insulated copper wire is a great price too.
    All non-ferrous scrap metal seems to be doing well, a good time to sell scrap metal.

    Dang Ben, you really inspire me. Im only 14 years old and recycle any metal I can get. Unfortunately my parents scold me if I get out on the streets scavenging for metal so I must do it secretly. Its one of my only passions and you keep the dream alive. Awesome video

      They dont like me scavenging for metal. They think its illegal and gross. Im a diehard scrapper. They let me scrap but wont let me scavenge for metal on trash day. So I have to creep out without my parents nowing

      @The-Toy-Guy Yeah thanks man. I tell them all the time that I want to have my own spot with a giant hoard of metal in my own yard yet with a bunch and bunch of bins with a super neat yard and everything sort of like Ben. They just think im a wannabe scrap lord and a scuzzy scavenger. I creep out every saturday to scan trash bins for metal. Havent been caught yet.

    Hi Ben. As you are already taking the boards off the hard drives and your client has taken the lid off to get to the platters, why don't you strip the whole case? You had extruded Alumimium at $1.75/Kg but you're only getting 45c /Kg for the irony-Al. With the lid off and the board and platters gone, you'd have the rest of the contents out in under 60 seconds, surely? Thanks.
