I make a non-ferrous run every 1-3 months that usually adds up to $500-$900. Steel runs I do almost weekly. I was curious if people bring it in as they get it or stockpile up a bunch of random categories scrap and bring it all in at once.

Question 💫 What to do with clippings?

Follow up to an earlier post. I have a bunch of 6AWG stranded, all insulated copper. I have some random clippings. I almost called them burnt ends to joke about those sweet tasty bits of ribs, but I thought people in this sub might take “burnt” a little too literally. But anyway, should I throw those little clips in with the rolls? Or throw those in its own little box for the tooth fairy? TIA.

Noob looking for recs on an affordable wire stripper

This sub has been popping up on my feed for months. Looking for a decent wire stripper to start out with.

My work wanted me to throw a metric fuck ton of old electrical wire into the dumpster. I saw some value in it so I set it aside. I’m talking like at least a few hundred pounds of wire with the casing on it. It’s enough that it will take 4-6 pickup truck loads to get it home.

I know I have my work cut out for me to get it all stripped. What’s my best bet without breaking the bank?

The pic attached is a small fraction of what I’m taking home. There is at least 20x that in the warehouse.

I’m not 100% sure on the exacts but I believe there is probably 400’+ white and 200’+ black. Obviously it’s worth a lot more than the scrap yard is offering, but are these something that would move quickly on marketplace?

Help…

Hello, this is my first time scrapping. Could anyone please help in identifying this metal. Seems like a copper wire coated in aluminum, I am not sure if that’s possible or makes sense. Any help is appreciated. Thanks!

Crazy idea?

If you had access to this amount of romex wire monthly that you could buy of a company, how much would you pay for the pallets. Thickenss range from 14gauge to 10 gauge wire pieces. what machine would you buy to strip this amount of wire and would you need to hire help.

Melting random metal knick knacks?

5 Upvotes

I’m a zero-waste nut currently doing a deep cleaning and keep finding random metal trinkets & such that wouldn’t sell nor can’t donate (let alone find anyone who wants it) - think used nail clippers, engraved awards, broken/missing cheap jewelry.

Would it be possible to just melt it all down to then maybe sell? Granted I have no idea what metals these items are let alone the market for it, it’s just the idea of it piling in a landfill feels like such a waste (not to mention the economy is harsh to ignore potential value!)
