- 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. 👍
Really enjoyed watching this. You guys have clearly worked hard and its paid off. Exciting to see what the future holds...
Great story from your father. Seems like a top guy. Best wishes to u all
Enjoyed the family history part ..Hope HS2 issue is resolved soon. keep up the good work and the videos..
I remember Toronto's as a kid, going there with my grandad and seeing rows of cars on a shelving system! And your still going strong! Will have to come back and see you soon with scrap. Respect chaps.
Im all for high speed rail, but not at the expense of a business nearly going under and not being paid.
Being following this channel from the start. watching people graft is inspiring.
Never been to a scrap yard in my life but hands down my favourite TH-cam show.......and I've got a brass scrap bucket filling up in my workshop brilliant x
We can’t wait to buy it & meet you 😁
Keep up the hard work and the TH-cam. I love how big dad Taroni said if we get our HS2 money we will buy more plant for the family business. #Hardwork #FamilyBusiness
Absolutely spot on 👌🏻
Great video. Keep up the hard work. Amazing to see a family business working hard and doing well 👍🏻 One day, I wish I could be sitting around a table talking about my vibrant family history like you do.
Thank you for your comments 😊
@@hayleytaroni9797 Thank you for the content
What a beautiful family and beautiful family business, looking forward Harry to buy a metal scrap from you for Export
Remember late 1900s my grandad worked in the old scrap yard in Saltley sometimes use to take me there when I was just a kid, loved them days running around the scrap yard..
Also ask people to comment because that also helps towards the Algorithm. Ask a question during your video and tell them to comment their answers. Great video 👍🏻
Thanks for the advice!
Thats best informative program you have ever made well done all
Fair play educational about scrap and interesting to watch I have a waste removal business always given scrap away as have no yard atm started keeping copper and lead
Loves watching u guys.... especially this episode awwww bless ..... hiya from Swansea
Great to meet you last week I brought the 2 load of rebar in the car and trailer great video boys see you soon
Fair play the dear old man started it but it’s still running today and that’s down to your old man and you 2 and all the rest that helped hope it goes on forever boys 👍🏼👊🏼
Really good video boys , nice family business that you have all worked so hard to keep going , your grandad would be very proud of you , good luck and make sure you get your money from HS2 !!
That was a really interesting video and getting to meet your Grandmother was a added bonus,
60p per kilo I was paid for six HGV alloys last week at my local yard, I’m now going to stock pile ( as much as this will piss my neighbours off even more than usual 🤨 ) then stack the van for a two hour journey to Birmingham
The perfect thing would have been grandad taroni with ya but keep up the hard work lads a great watch

Thanks 😊
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!
I seen the video on TH-cam that's why I come from the Southwest with my scrap
You the best 🎉
ha ha ha , great as all ways guys
Yeah another good episode it’s different
Scrap all the brass and donate the money to the hospice 👍🇬🇧
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.
Birmingham best scrap yard and you dad is the best
Thank you ☺️
Videos are banging
Am i correct taroni was seen from the train as you were close to new street station from coventry direction...im going back 40 years.
Yes that’s right!
Your dad is the image of my dad, same character and everything its scary haha
Does anyone know where i can find up to date scrap prices
Harry Always putting Richard down
HS2 are a nightmare so many homes and businesses destroyed, on my commute there's a very expensive house they've taken over to use as a car park can't see rhyme or reason to some of the compulsory purchases hope you get paid out soon
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.
Richards gettin more confident as they going on.....
So how how much it cost for a whole body in 2022
He fuckin loves that hard hat don't he 😂😂
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.
Even if he isn't the oldest.. Definitely the best! Birmingham ❤️
Your dad is a propper sound bloke
Thank you, I will tell him that! ♥️
Bill an Ben the flower pot men 😂😂😂😂😂
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
Fucking scum government! Robbed a hard working honest man of his land/property and not even paid him. That's disgusting. Hope you get your money 💰 🤞👍👌
Thanks for the video, very interesting and enjoyable 💯✅💪🤙👊
When is James gonna launch the car boot channel??
We keep telling him to!
Hy im an importer of scrap metal from india im intrested in import of hms1 scrap in bulk.
I don't want to know how much £££££ but working as a family business how/who says what you get paid in wages etc?? Who actually owns the business in % wise.
do you accept cats which have received damage in a crash?
They dont.make cars like they used to no new car would last as long as that fiesta
Very true!
Calm down speilberg!!! 🤣
When you doing some yard banger racing
Hi
I want to buy scrap from you
I'm india 🇮🇳
Petrol_head_vxr
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
400 pounds for 2 cats?? Wow what a huge lie.
You know it will be brilliant before it even starts
Thank you !
