Yeah, I'm probably going to get some negative feedback for this from scrapyards but who cares! My goal is to get all scrapyards around the world to start giving awesome customer service to ALL customers so they can have a great scrapping experience. The only way to do that is to force them to compete for their money!!! I just hate when people tell me that all the scrapyards around them are mean and they have no other choice but to pick one! Scrapping should be fun for scrappers when they are out in the field and when they are turning in their findings!

Great video Sir! Thank you for your honesty!

Thank you for your honesty information Mr Hunters great videos

Thank you for sharing this. When I'm standing in line to get paid for what I brought in I keep wondering where does my scrap yard get all this money to pay us? This video explains a lot. You can play with toys all you want. I'm sure that it makes you a happier guy.

We own a yard in Iowa. I've tried explaining to people that most scrap yards make about a $1 profit for every 4 to 5lbs of copper they buy, depending on the market. plus they have overhead cost of employees, processing, transport fees and taxes on that profit. great video and break down.

Yeah I got a little side tracked when I started going into overhead cost and never got back to it but the list goes on and on!

I can tell you how you can make a 100 percent or more from insulated #2 copper wire. The more volume you have the better. After discovering the local market evidently cannot supply me with a 1000 pounds at a time, im looking at buying a 20 foot container load of scrap #2 wire.

cool

Yes, always. I am always making them use their brain to problem solve. I never give them the answers. Too many kids nowadays don't know how to problem solve!

Bracken have you ever thought of using that rail line right across from you to transport steel to the mill you make way more we just started doing that

@brackenrecycling9505

Yes, and that is awesome that you saw that. The problem is finding a spot where the rail enters a property. Did y'all have to get the railroad to come into your property? I know someone who just did that and it cost them almost a million dollars so I've been told!

What do you pick out of your piles? I thought that's wear you make $

@brackenrecycling9505

We try to get any non ferrous or other items (motors, sealed units, transformers, etc) out of our pile, but only if it makes sense. We don't have time to scrap everything down bone dry. That being said, I train our team to always let the customer know if they have something that is worth more money. But some of them just don't care!

Unfortuately, the Comex price is going down now. I expect my local yard to lower their copper and brass prices tomorrow.

I was right, brass and copper is down about 5% today here.

I've actually caught 3 different scrap yards floating their prices. One week they give me price x and then scrap price unchanged, 3 weeks later. Exact same material 43 cents p/lb less. BS.

I got a question how much they paying you for this?

youre claiming that market go down oftenly but i bet you gained sometime ...

@brackenrecycling9505

6 жыл бұрын

Yes, when it goes up it can be good for me. However for example, if I pre-sell thinking the market might go down, so I sell more than I have, and it goes up instead. Then I get into trouble. Now I have to buy material I don't have and I'm getting a smaller price than what the market is actually at. Hope that made sense!

i have an idea of video that might be cool

load youreself a small pickup with some normal household stuff a bit of everything put youreself a headcam and act like its the first time you go to bracken scrapyard ..the registration ...passing thraugh the big scale for the iron dropping it and passing at the small scale cashing in etc... it would be good for ppl that start scrapping would be good for new costomers it would make a nice publicity for youre yard and it would show youre yard and what costomers see and at same time it would present youre staff let them explain you what you have to do act like youre a newbie maybe do some normal error that ppl usualy do at your yard i think it would make a realy nice video just suggestion anyway have a good one today buddy scraplife!!!
