Turning Trash Into Cash! How Much Did I Make Scrapping Motors for Copper?

How Much Did I Make Scrapping Old Motors for Copper? A pile of old motors, electronics, and junk — most people walk past this without a second look. I didn't. Inside that rust and grime there's copper, aluminum, gold-plated connectors, and lead — and I knew exactly what to do with it. Electric motors with their windings still intact. Old Soviet capacitors. A vintage Nokia with gold and palladium on the board. A Sturm drill. An "Okean" radio receiver packed with valuable components. A full plastic box of stripped copper wire. And that's just the beginning — the real work starts when you take a grinder to the housing and pull out what's inside. Motor by motor, bolt by bolt. Stators, rotors, housings sorted into bags. Then the fire — burning off the insulation to get to the clean copper underneath. The kind of copper the scrapyard accepts at the highest grade. By the end, every bag is full. The result?
