Scrapping a large digital scale for loads of cast aluminum, copper, GOLD, and other metals.
Hello scrappers and planet lovers. In this video, I will show you all the free cast aluminum, tin, copper, zinc cast, gold, and other metals that are found in a large digital scale. I will show you how to identify and separate the metals in order to help maximize your profit and divert as much of the material away from the landfill as possibly.
Here are the other links mentioned in the video:

I open the big ones for the aluminum. Yes they can be messy. That’s why I keep paper towels handy 😂✌️. 🐎
The prongs on the heatsink are mosfets. With mine I build them up and then pop them in the freezer, once frozen it takes one little tap to break them open to get the copper out (the bridges can also have a copper plate)👍 Great teardown👍

Sorry, not sure f what “hard drawn” is. Was there a magnetic coating on it? Here we only have #2, #1 and bare bright if the copper is stripped. Unstripped we have 40%, 60%, Romex, etc
Your recycling takes that kinda plastic mine wont it has to go in the trash

Sometimes, I do wonder if it depends on who is throwing the stuff in the recycling truck.
