M8 you're by no doubt one of the most liked junkies I've ever seen on you tube. I must say that you were right about saving your copper for a bigger payday. As I have learned through my 20 plus years of scrapping metal is this , if I have it and don't need the money sit on it, if I need the money sell it. Keep up the good work . God bless y'all.
Hey Thub, thanks for the mention and link! That's awesome! 😁 Just one thing - I'm in Australia, not the UK.. so $10 Aussie money for the tins of hardware! Hope the move goes well - and I expect full video documentation!! 🤣
Love the knowledge and the delivery as always! Steel isn't my meal but as I've mentioned (I don't expect you to remember MY messages above all others, but I don't understand that because it is ME lol) I work at a plumbing supply yard so I eat fat on the non ferry. But it is good to know, just so I sound more knowledgeable at scrap yard. If you know what I mean. Keep doing the thing Thub from Sacramento, CA USA.
I put all my N/B/W/S into a coffee can and when it gets full, it gets dumped into a microwave shell or toaster oven, some other steel/shred piece I was taking to the scrapyard and will hold them. And yes, a coffee can full is pretty heavy!
Hey thubprint, another great vid. I just got into scrapping part time last year and looking forward to doing more this yer. I've learned so much from watching your vids. I like your attitude and style. Love your ending as well in your vids. I do have to let you know what i do here in Wpg. We like having a lot of fires in our fire pit and when we dont have logs, we burn pallets. When i clean the fire pit, I take the poker and attach a nice chuck of magnet to it. Last year, I've waited till the fire pit was full, but this year however, I go over the ashes with the magnet every time and throw what i pick up into an old tool box and bring that in as scrap. It only takes a few mins (about 5). Just another idea to throw into the mix. Take care and stay safe out there while doin the thing :-)
Took a load of scrap in yesterday. Nothing major, but breaking it down in to types gave me the highest yield. 360 lbs of Sheet Iron $31.00. 350 lbs of none ferrous $71.00 (US price) after the yards $2.00 service charge for cash I walked away with $100.00 for an hours worth of work. For 710 lbs of scrap.Wish I could do this as a daily job. It is easy money.
The most I’ve seen steel is 14 cents a pound. It’s definitely harder when you don’t have a truck. But when you have a truck you can make lots of money and have lots more fun.
Over here in ohio many yards just give you one price on any steel aside from stainless. They will then go back and separate it later for their vendors so that they make more lol
Wonderful content, as always. I'm curious if any yards near you have a different price for "clean light iron" or "P&G". there's a couple yards near me that pay a premium for 'bailable' steel like stripped light fixtures, shelving, ductwork, (clean paint cans!) or electric baseboard covers. Basically, steel without other contaminants that's small enough to fit in, and thin enough to be crushed by, a bailer. One yard was paying $0.09/lb for shred but $0.15/lb for "clean light iron".
Where I live, 3.5 Kg of rough iron with buy 1 litre of gasoline. These metal prices are here to stay because of venture capital. If you invest in a computer app you get your money back in a year or so. Invest in a new mine, you may not get any money back after ten years.
Hey buddy! I found some metal shirt hangers in the dumpster at work! I use them to repurpose/create things. Can you even buy metal hangers in the stores anymore? I only see plastic ones :(((((
speaking as a steel fabricator, we always have a glory bucket kicking around, which is full of all kinds of hardware .... we rarely have to buy miscellaneous hardware anymore which is really costly, plus a trip to the hardware store.
@thubprint if I have a lawnmower that's mostly steel should I rip it down as best I can and sell it as steel shred or should I try and get that engine block and other cast engine parts out and sell those for cast and remaining junk for shred?
I've been finding some small steel items of a color that I think is called "yellow zinc plated steel." Do scrapyards classify this as a separate kind of steel, or do they just classify it as shred?
I’m pretty sure my prepared and shred are the same $.007usd (was $.005 a few weeks ago) I’ve learned a lot from your videos and enjoy watching them even though I watch them out of order.
Your steel giving us the best advice.
This video is filled with VALUE! This will make a big difference for the scrapping hobbyist.

Love the Apple burn 2:54😂👏🏻
Bring back my headphone jack! 😆
Damn dude, moving again already? I hope this next house is more permanent for you.
Love the videos all the down here in Northern California.
Oh boy, free advice! What a steel!
Should I like the video and subscribe with the bell rung? No, because I already am and already liked the video.

Steel is the meal as they say, hope your move goes smoothly - look forward to more videos:)
hope that means we get another "I gotta move so we have to clear out the garage" video! I love watching a big scrap yard run
Weeellllll... I scrapped most of what I had before, but I *do* have a pile of the good stuff to finally haul in soon!
So Rebar is prepared steel and currently about $0.10/lbs. That answers a burning question I have been having. Thanks.
Very helpful! Now I can just give out this video url and save myself a lot of explaining and guessing. Thanks.
good stuff chief. I was only thinking about it today.perfect timing.👍👍👍
I hit the thubs up button, as usual! I am a casual scrapper and did not know about prepared steel, thanks!
Thanks Thub! Good luck with the move!
I miss your adventure videos
Life saving video thanks

Good luck with the move. Hopefully you have a little more room in the garage at the new place and maybe a room just for filming 🐼
These episodes give me a Bill Nye Science Guy vibe. The 90s episodes, anyone else?
Fell in a rabbit hole lol. Awesome video!!!
Steel is the meal! 480 pounds today, half my $ I received from the scrapyard was from steel. I love it!
I put all my N/B/W/S into a coffee can and when it gets full, it gets dumped into a microwave shell or toaster oven, some other steel/shred piece I was taking to the scrapyard and will hold them. And yes, a coffee can full is pretty heavy!

Can't wait to see the new digs. I hope you have more room there for storage of all that valuable steel!
Thanks for the info!
My partner has learnt a lot about things by watching your videos. He would like a signed picture of you
I’ve never done that before! 😅 I’ll have to get a friend to take some decent photos first
@@thubprint thanks a lot we have learnt a hell of a lot from you
Hey Thub, hope you and Wubb are doing well. Nice little metal primer vid, enjoyed it. ☮️💙
Great information . Thanks ☺️👍🙋🧚
Word on the street is , Steel is the meal 😁
Awesome stuff

Awesome vid my man! Thanks for the great tips!😁
Also hope your move goes nice and as planned, hope we’ll get an update soon on how it’s going😉🙂
steel's the meal !!! you should copyright the phrase :P
This was the video I was looking for

Awsome videos
Any scrap yards I’ve been to here in the uk just give you one price for any steel, they don’t pay any different for cast or dirty steel.
When I fist started watching you you still had your car. I knew when you had gotten your little white truck you were gonna take off

Is there a link in description for ultimate recycler nuts and bolts you talk about at 5:06
Thumbs UP
Hey, Thub. I would like to know what kind of steel the stuff that goes around DVD players, microwaves, tv receivers, etc. Many thanks :)
The price of gas takes all my earnings away just driving to the scrap yard the most I have ever made was $16 that's a lot of aluminum cans
why are you moving so fast thub? just for a bigger place?
🖤
Wow you look smarter when you wear glasses 😊😊❤👍

The only cast iron that’s worth more than any prepared HMS is #1 cast or auto cast
speaking as a steel fabricator, we always have a glory bucket kicking around, which is full of all kinds of hardware .... we rarely have to buy miscellaneous hardware anymore which is really costly, plus a trip to the hardware store.
Get dat money!
Moving again?
What is compressor shells
@thubprint if I have a lawnmower that's mostly steel should I rip it down as best I can and sell it as steel shred or should I try and get that engine block and other cast engine parts out and sell those for cast and remaining junk for shred?
Will your new house have a shop or garage for you to work out of?
I've been finding some small steel items of a color that I think is called "yellow zinc plated steel." Do scrapyards classify this as a separate kind of steel, or do they just classify it as shred?
I’m pretty sure my prepared and shred are the same $.007usd (was $.005 a few weeks ago) I’ve learned a lot from your videos and enjoy watching them even though I watch them out of order.
Keep atter bud
What about crushed cans? Any experiance?
Like soda cans? I bring those to the bottle depot. If you mean paint cans or food cans, those are steel shred just like the rest of it
@@thubprint bottle depot will take them crushed?
3 foot is over sized in ky
One more thing for me to be grateful for!
Please make industrial equipment using scrap into video
I could try? I’d have to find some first
baler,shear,shredder for scrap metal
i am from a steel company which is locate in tailand. where i can buy large amount scrap metal?
Steel is back at a steal?
Are screws and bolts worth more then steel prices?
Everything is worth more being sold as a product than being sold as scrap
@@thubprint where does someone sell off screws and bolts?
Hey fella, you doing any precious metals again soon?
👏👏👏👏👏☺
No matter what type of stainless I bring in, my yard 90% of the time gives me 304 Stainless on it
Kinda advantageous to keep it simple though!
A magnet does not stick to aluminum,and it is a higher price than steel. So be careful.
Like your new girlfriend be safe out side
I’ve a heavy big steel bed frame. Free for you. Can someone come and pick up
Not sure where you’re at, but things like that get picked up pretty quick if you put them out back in an alley
Can u get to point .skip the other
Wtf is a 🐼
Trash pandas!
I wondered what it was, too. 😂
Thank you for such informative videos fellow panda !! 🦝
