I was tasked to help disassemble this monster of a boiler. I have no idea where to even start or how. It's wayyyyy out of my ballpark. I believe it's an old Butler & Pierce. I could be wrong.

And is there any value to parts or scrap on this? Regardless of value, I still need to get it out of there. Can anyone give me some ideas. Thank you!!!

Hello my dad opened a scrap shop for me to work. I would glady hear every advice i could get like how can i find more copper, what should i be aware of etc

I've never done this before, though for a while now I've had some old eletronics and was planning to open them up to see what kind of things I can find. Decided to open up an old PC I've had layung around and found this. I'm completely new to scrapping and have never done anything like/around this before. Asking for tips as just looking at the CPU I feel like I've hit something expensive. Anything helps!

16 working transformators for 15€, im wondering if I should buy them. Over here in Latvia the copper prices are 11€/kg

One of the busbars has regular silver-colored solder, but the other two have this brass-colored stuff instead. I thought it was brass at first since it's exactly the same color and sheen as the brass busbars, but as far as I know, brass can't be used as a solder.

She got brought in after a rough accident. Can't for the life of me remember how much it weighed

Best 40$ i ever spent

Howdy y'all!

Long time lurker on my other account for this subreddit but now I got something I need some advice on. I got this wire about 30ft of it i cut through the outer layer and see 4 wires in there cut the jacket of the 2nd and this is what I see. Now is this worth stripping it or send it as is? I do this mainly for fun so the time is not an issue but this is much bigger then anything ive stripped before so dont know if its even worth it on this. Thanks!

I found a old box of lead pipes in my house from when we upgraded the pipes to copper from lead it is a old house i am trying to find a safe way to scrap them i am in maine and Sanford area but willing to go to anywhere else in New England if needed i already checked a local scrap yard and they don’t take lead material

I have a warehouse full of mobility equipment but am not well versed as to the ins and outs of scrapping.

What would be the best use of my time to maximize return when dealing with disposal.

How far down should I tear the motors?

Mostly brushed motors but should I remove the rotor or do I get the same as breakage if I leave the rotor and stator together.

I plan on salvaging some good components as I sell them and repair equipment but I have a lot of older equipment that is not worth the time to repair.

Any advice helps before I start making trips to the yard. Thank you

Where would these go? I have several, aluminum? but not with cans?

Also, second picture shows me using my stripping machine, I've gotten the hang of it.

We replaced a bad Siemens contactor, so I decided to break it open. Found a nice big spool of copper inside. Now it’ll get recycled instead of going to a landfill.

Not sure what to do with these towers. If there is value to someone?

3 or 4 towers.

Ok, after asking here if I could scrap this and get the lead out to smelt, I was told not worth it.

So I m going to drop the batteries off at autozone (I got 2).
I m reading conflicting info.

Do I need to bring the whole unit with the casing and the copper wires to get $10 credit?

Or do I still get $10 if I open the casing grab these 2 charging cable loaded with copper and just bring the battery itself?

I read without the casing they won’t give me $10 and just recycle for free.

I don’t go to scrapyards.

TY

I have a large hydraulic cylinder from a scissor lift, no one seems to want to reuse it (single port so its only meant to push and not pull). Do I just haul in for shred or it is worth it to somehow break it down for more?

Two 5 gallon buckets of alternators and starters. And five ~4' sections of pipe.

So I'm looking to see if anybody can recommend some good yards to take my few hundred pounds of mostly copper, there's some aluminum, steel, bronze, e-waste etc but I'm mainly concerned with the copper as it's mostly bare bright and no. 1.

Also is it best to strip out the copper whenever feasible or are certain components worth more intact than stripped? It's my first time actually selling even though I've been collecting and stripping it for over 10 years as a hobby. I knew the value would eventually go up significantly as the pile grew. Now I'm facing a bit of a squeeze and figure it's time to cash out so to speak.
