thanks for the video, I like it. I also like how open you are with details about the business, telling us numbers to let us understand why it makes sense to do something versus other things that don't make business sense. Your videos are not only fun to watch but really educational at the same time.
This is an example of why I don't openly critique something I know little about. However, I found it interesting regardless to learn about the job and how machines like these work.
Everything looks pretty good to me, only improvement II see is adding a small curtain at the start of the incline for the conveyor, that way it will completely stop any over spill on the sides as it will control the height. That way the loader wont have to worry as much about that issue and you will not have to pay someone to go clean up all the cans that spilled over the sides
Hey man I know you're going to get a lot of people complaining about how you do things but you do things that makes it work for you you may listen to some people but if you've already got it figured out how it makes it easy for you then you just need to do what you need to do you will get a lot of people on here telling you different ways and different things but if it works the way you're doing it keep doing it that way just my opinion
A lot of yards I sell don’t don’t buy aluminum cans. They said they are to much of a hassle and people slip stuff into them to add weight. I did a clean out for a hoarder house and I filled three of those tote containers with coke cans 😂
You missed a great opportunity to get viewer participation. Should have done a “guess how many cans are in this trailer” contest. 😂 300,000+ cans is wild tbh.
Michael, I love your video, are you the ower of the packing station？ In our place , there are many packing stations, we use vertical balers more often for baling metal
I live in a recycle state, 5¢ per can. Is it more money for the consumer to return them to a can recycler store or take them in bulk to a metal recycle facility such as this?
I'm wondering if it wouldn't be worth running a day or week's worth collection of cans at a time through one of those machines that crushes and makes small (let's say less than a square inch squares) or through one of those machines that flatten things by running through two rollers. There's a lot of empty space in that truck due to the shape of the cans. I guess this thing that makes pallets eventually compacts the cans so you end up at the same result and larger size would actually be preferred because they lock between each other in the bale.

I’d addicted to this channel
This is a perfect set up as someone who works in this industry we have a similar setup and it has been working for 20 plus years keep up the good work
If i ain't broke don't fix it!!!!
If it is broke then do fix it!!!!
Cheers to u from Quebec Canada and have a great weekend
G day francois from Ontario . Thanks
If you add all the fancy stuff it won’t be any better you’ll just end up with less profit great video ultimate recycling
Good show of your baler.:) I one time read that in the USA we send enough cans to the landfill each year to build a Boeing 747.
Interesting process, thanks for explaining that..
Impressive. One question for you....on 10:40 in the trailer the cans look like they are floating at the back it ?????
Brilliant I love these types of recycling videos keep em coming
The thing you didn't figure into your can count. Is that the Budweiser tall cans actually weight more than a regular can.
and a coors light can less
You're not supposed to tell them the secrets
That is queer beer . J\S

Have you thought of trying a big vac system to move the the cans?
Good day from Ontario Boy alot of work for it. Now I put them in old feed plastic feed bag & drive over them with truck
Thanks

on the back of the can bucket, could you use steel mesh for added visibility?
This is so cool. I'm glad you have a youtube channel. This stuff is so interesting.
I can watch this allday
You sure CAN😂

make a bigger hopper for the skidsteer to drop into, and add higher walls at the conveyor belt sides 🤷♂
How sticky is it once you empty it??
What’s the most popular can? I wanna say bud light, but I think that might just be cause the color is easy to see.
Nobody drinks that Bud Light $@÷t anymore. Lol
I know I don’t. But it appears someone does
How many pounds of can you do a year?!
As much as I collect cans, I would probably have at least 2 semis and 3 pickups worth of cans.
Big trucks, big plant and scrap. What more does a man child need. 😂
You managed to ruin almost all of the cans with this process. You can’t put beverages into those cans!
/s
PS: Great description; thank you!
Well I counted at least 5
In the storage trailers why not turn them Side ways an get more in there?
Put pea size rocks in every few cans and squish them 😎
Less is more. Operation works mint.
Is there money in this?
Looks like my neighbors yard
Im surprise you not plastic wrap them help keep dry
A metric $#!t ton.
Un sistema di scarico altamente inefficiente
do you need any special education to work in a scrap yard
@Michael's scraplife, Please how do i contact you for Aluminum beverage cans(UBC)
