  • This week on the yard, Harry & Richard examine a very special delivery that arrived from one of our viewers...
    We sit down with Original Scrap King, Russel Taroni, to discuss how H.W Taroni Metal’s have built such an empire business over the last 60+ years & the recent infamous debacle with HS2.

    Deffinately do more content on HS2!
    The general public aren't aware of what's going on and mainstream media doesn't cover it either. 👍

    Im all for high speed rail, but not at the expense of a business nearly going under and not being paid.

    I worked for a family run scrap/recycling company.
    I loved it, i just fucked the job up for myself because I was in a bad place.
    Definitely a job that I loved. Just collecting the customers cars from there address. I had my own jobs as long as i cleared my board by the end of the day.

    So I've got a sack full of brass chandiler bits that a magnet sticks to. I cut one bit in half and there is steel in the middle. What do you call it and what is today's price? If you can tell me up drive over from Halesowen with it!

    Never been to a scrapyard but it's interesting watching your videos and it was great to see your dad and nan talking about the business.
    Have you ever thought of getting a machine that cuts up all the shearing and separates it so you can get more money? I saw one on a video a while go I think in Italy and it seemed good for extracting as much value and you seem good at doing that with bigger stuff.

  • @Landie_Man
    @Landie_Man 3 ปีที่แล้ว

    I took mine to my local yard and sadly they had to send it off for analysis. So I couldn’t get it back when I didn’t like the price.

    Hi, definitely not the oldest scrap yard in the UK. Bennett Bros Metals Recycling was established in 1948 and still operates as a family business to this day with 3 generations working there.

    Be worth putting a man checking what's coming off the tatters vans and a crane with a magnet on to pick the 1&2 out. Worked in scrap 40 years. years ago we used to break the cast iron up with a demolition ball it was called tupping health and safety stopped it After a piece of cast flew through the crane window badly injured the driver. Lots of old stories burning cable on dark nights. Melting beer barrels in home made smelters at dawn. Belly tanks fitted to wagons filled with tons of water pulling over a drain and emptying before weighing off only on a rainy day.
    Filling copper tanks with a few kilos of lead and bailing them the scrap game is full of scams and scammers

    Best prices paid on cat
    (We also accept stolen cat
    Which 70% of cats sold to us are most probably are stolen)
    Check the stats on cats bought before the price rise
    And check them now
    I know your just trying to make a few quid but promoting that your the best prices on cats just encourages the thefts of cats even more
