Midnight Scrap Hunting: Battling The Weather For Copper & Aluminum

⛈️ Battling 50 MPH wind gusts and freezing rain at 2 AM just to see what’s left in the dumpsters! In tonight's late-night scrapping adventure, the weather was absolutely brutal, but the scrap goldmine was too good to leave behind. I hit a couple of commercial and construction dumpsters and managed to score some serious weight. Here’s a breakdown of what I found: Heavy lighting ballasts and large transformers (packed with copper!) Massive die-cast aluminum housings and plates A ton of miscellaneous insulated copper wire Some unexpected garage roller doors that I might repurpose instead of scrapping! It took some serious wrestling with the dumpster lids in these high winds, but turning this trash into cash is always worth it. Stick around until the end to see the full breakdown, weight estimates, and the total scrap value of this stormy night haul! 🔔 If you love scrapping, dumpster diving, and metal recycling, make sure to SMASH that Like button and SUBSCRIBE for more weekly scrap runs!
