Awesome explanation and showing how to identify. Sorting and separating metals is the most important thing in scraping.

Thank you for your videos; of the youtube scrappers you do much more description heavy pieces than others and that is greatly appreciated by this fellow Canadian who is getting into scrapping for extra money. I'll say this though, you are lucky you live in an area where people can still put out just about anything for garbage removal - making scraping easy. Here everything must be recycled and/or sent to designated drop-offs for electronics. And if you leave it at the curb, it will not be picked up; so most people don't even bother trying. And you cannot pick through the residential blue recycle bins - even to take things that shouldn't be in there. And your construction sites are open to be picked! You will not find one single construction site without a guard here - some will allow you if you ask nice, but most just turn you away as they don't want to get in trouble with their employer.

Thanks for the comment and kind words. Yeah, I am actually dreading if we go to those big bi s for garbage and recycle removal, since it would be more difficult to find the items. It is sad that job sites don’t just have a recycle bin for the scrap materials anyway, but you are right, I am lucky around here to have access…for now anyways

Hi Tin man, been searching for a while on youtube for video's talking about the difference between brass and bronze. Any chance this is something you can do a video on?

unfortunately I don’t come across a lot of bronze. I know that there was a big theft of bronze urns at a cemetery several years ago and that really is the only thing I know of that contains bronze (and only because I heard it on the radio)

when you fold your material and it is longer than 4ft it pays less because they call it a tangler when the scrap yards send it out to have it chipped into droplet size pieces, before it is reused to make your flashlight and other things.?

What about items that are yellow but are in fact brass and steel because magnets do stick to them (even if just lightly)? Are they considered scrap steel price or dirty-brass price? A lot of the made in India brass plates/dishes, etc. can actually stick to magnets.

The test for brass is if when you scratch it it reveals the gold color underneath. Brass needs to be solid throughout, since there are some items that have a brass coating

There is a steel ring that goes around the edge that is steel. If sticks to magnet then it would be a brass finish and therefore have to be put in tin. A lot like magnetic stainless steel. If magnetic than just a little more price than tin. If no magnetic attraction than good stainless and worth about 0.77 $ a pound.

I started very young as well. My dad and I would drive around some nights on garbage days looking for scrap. I also worked a few times with my dad on the recycling trucks, until I was old enough and worked on one myself. Amazing what you can find. Stay well and happy scrapping.
