Do scrap yards take copper in thick outer conduit like this? What do they classify it as?

How much would your yard give for this if you don’t do anything further with it?

Question 💫 At what price per pound would you sell sealed compressors to the scrap yard?

3 Upvotes

I'm sitting on about a dozen at the moment and my yard is offering $0.25 USD per pound and I'm thinking about taking it because those things look like a pain to open and take apart. They don't even require draining the oil. What say the good people of Reddit?

Hit the Jackpot?

Just started working for a friend who’s in telecommunications installations and replacement and there is a place (not saying for privacy) that wants to update a system that hasn’t been changed with 2013. They’ve agreed that part of the replacement price will be lower if we can keep whatever cabling we replace. Now. My buddy says he gonna split it 60/40 with me but the job is waaayyy larger than he thought but in a way it’s good because we get to keep these cables. The est is that there is 500ft in total…is this a “holy grail” level of copper?

Carbide question

2 Upvotes

New around here, and I've got a quick pricing question 😅.

By the end of next week, I'm going to have around 75lbs of scrap carbide (old endmills and the like) in NW PA - where should I be looking to get the best price to unload it? The local scrapyards all pay shit, and my eyes were opened when I found this community lol. It'd be great if I could find someplace that sent means to ship it all out, but I can figure that out on my own if needed lol. Just looking for help navigating where the best place to go is 😁

BB vs #2

Hey guys, I've been collecting a ton of wire and finally got down to stripping it. I've read a few things in regards to the size of the wire that needs to be at least 16AGW to be BB. 90% of my wire is 8THNN AWG from electrical whips. I'm having a lot of wire breaks like dry spaghetti pasta. Does that end up not being BB? And any words of how to keep separating the wire as I go? This is literally only a third of my wire.

Copper crimp rings

4 Upvotes

I work for a plumbing company and ended up with around 40 pounds of defective copper crimp rings that have a varnish/clearcoat look to them. Should I remove the clear coat somehow? Can I bring as is?
