I worked In Portsmouth dockyard in 2009 and they asked me to clear out a compound. I noticed 27 solid copper bars which were about 5 foot long and weighed 105kgs each.i got £9450.thst was my best one especially for a freebie
I remember stripping out an entire Data centre UPS system and lead batteries. There was 550 40kg batteries, and miles of 1200mm2 single armoured cable, UPS systems and transformers that was about 10 years ago, and we got 48k, split it equally between all my staff, even the admin staff that never helped, as we are all one team

Good haul. Reminds me of the time I did an electrical job for a government owned enterprise, we had to use tinned copper multicore cables, the only available source for the cable was themselves from deep storage, so we wrote them a cheque for 20,000 which we had allowed for in the tender. The cheque never got processed, when we enquired they informed us that they were not permitted to accept revenue from hidden assets and that the 20, 000 was ours. Boy did we have a party.
Mega score scrap hunter! It would be nice to see you guys strip the wires out ! That's the fun part of it and watching you pole it into the van. Congrats!
Oh man I miss those days, my dad was a scrapoligist , we did a job in fort McMurray alberta Canada, oil company abandoned a plant and built a new one a few miles away, my dad picked up the job for a song , they took all the moters etc...but left miles of #1 copper in the ground, we hook up a loader and pulled and pulled, 22tons of wire that was in the eighties so we got about 75cents a pound not burned....in today's world wow...I literally burned 100's of tons of copper back in the day.
Mate I’ve subscribe to your video and love them all…I like your honesty eg you dispose of the waste correctly and equally and you show all your receipts…you deserve this good fortune more of it pal…Naveed from Bradford
Holy shit. My man you give me some inspiration lol there’s money to be made just about everywhere.. working a dead end job at a grocery store trying to get through school right now I’ve been having to get creative lmao this is just the inspiration I need good shit lads!!
Nice one, I stripped out all the old telephone exchanges in the late 70s 80s loads of platinum points the metal that tap with each other when people was dailing there phone at home, hundreds of hours smashing copper out of old phones, but now the old phones are worth more, great old days I was only a teenager at the time but my friend dad was scrapping and we took all the old led window sashes waits out of the old houses in shoreditch were we live best days of my teens.
That’s a good day at the office …nice one ..my wife asked me what I was watching I said Rhys’s big load …that got her attention …she even walked over ..well waddled over ..she had a look …not what she expected …then went back to the couch to eat wotsits
Love watching folks hustling making a dollar (Pound) the honest way. Subscribing to your channel amigo … It’s 7:30pm over here so …Cheers !!! (while taking down a few shots of whiskey) … P.S. Much luck with your TH-cam channel …
I was a cable puller for eighteen years, that’s peanuts to what we were given as the Engineers on site didn’t want their superiors to know they’d overestimated what was needed. 630mm2 single core was the best.
how much was you getting length wise a foot length weighs like 5kg on its own ive got some where im working as well as some 400mm and 300mm earth plus 300/240mm 4 core
@@kingdavid414 It was years ago and we got whatever price copper was per ton with a deduction if the pvc, swa, pvc was left on. We’d sometimes strip it ourselves to get a better price.
Cuz people like the way it looks? HAHA its cuz copper is the cheapest and best conducting material for electrical, and the supply isnt infinite... Sheesh . Sheesh
I do take stripping job's on recently closed factories a lot with my building company but's its more a side thing where i put some other workers on, i always strip the cables you get a much higher price but i bet you know that already, i do own a very expensive automatic cable stripping machine, oh men back in the day, i did this all by hand, never again lol way to much work so after a while i just sell it not stripped and did keep all that money on the side to buy a custom build machine for that best purchase i ever did, after 2 jobs it did pay its self already back, its insane what i was spending on employee working hours before the machine... its a good business but a lot of people do not know how much hours of work there going in to this, to make a good profit on it.. nice amount you got there my friend keep up the good work...
I did this with my neighbors cans when aluminium was doing all kinds of funny business in the covid lockdown. Easiest 200 quid I ever made. Gave everyone who helped me out free eggs.
When I first started working in recycling depot in Kendle the guys there did not share with new recruits They took all the scrap to Morecombe metals ,I reckon they pulled in a couple grand a month ,And the months before Christmas when people done up kitchens and bathrooms there loads and loads of copper piping ,,, Yeah nice little earner
YEAH , AN IRISH GUY WENT LOOKING FOR COPPER WITH A METAL DETECTOR AND WAS 7 FEET DOWN IN A BIG HOLE BEFORE HE REALISED HE WAS WEARING STEEL TOECAP BOOTS.
Money well spent. What a job that must have been. Might want to buy a few silver melt coins with some of your money for the future just in case things go crazy mate.

I suggest you invest in a decent pair of steel toe cap working boots, Rhys. That brass fitting you dropped was a near miss and a wake up call.
I had a brass drop on me hard and took my entire load and it was a costly mistake and a wakeup call
You don’t need toes
I once stayed in a hotel..and got a…wake-up….call.
I am here to do a wake up call for someone..
I used to have an aunt that would help me come too in the mornings, she would scream "wake up paul"
I have no idea why I enjoyed this video so much.
Thankyou for not clickbaiting and showing the return you received. Keep scraping. 👍🏾from Toronto 🇨🇦
Thanks dude
Please, it's "scrapping" not scraping.

Amazing haul was the best part of the month when I served my time as a service engineer getting the left over copper scrap in your wage packet.
