Make More Money Recycling Copper Wire with Tools $$$$

RECYCLING COPPER WIRE

Recycling copper is very lucrative. Small wonder with the price of #1 grade copper at the scrap metal yards when recycled is approx. $.90 a lb with the plastic sheathing on and $2.75 +lb with the sheathing removed (plastic insulating coating on copper wire). Bright shiny copper wire is considered #1 copper, of course brings the best price at the scrap metal yard. There are a few different methods of cleaning the plastic coating off copper wire. One practice is to burn off the plastic coating with a blow torch. This is highly illegal in most of if not all of North America. Using a blow torch creates a black smoke and very toxic fumes in the air we breath. It also causes the copper wire to look tarnished, makes copper wire very brittle, and good scrap metals yards are will Not not to except this type of copper wire. Another practice is to use a utility knife (aka:box cutter) and cut the plastic coating off. This method works okay, and is probably the most common form of stripping the plastic coating off copper wire. Problem with this method is the constant replacing of cutting blades due to breakage, or getting dull. This can run into a bit of an expense if a lot of copper wire is being stripped. There are big, bulky, boxy, stationary, electrical and manual copper wire strippers on the market, they do work. It depends on your needs. Can most people afford the expense? The machines electrical and manual are costly and you need a huge constant supply of copper wire to make them worth while. Again constantly replacing or sharpening knives or blades in these machines is an ongoing expense. There is no portability with these machines since they all need to be bolted down before using. My own alternative is the Scavenger Series of copper wire recycler tools. Scavenger tools use a hardened steel cutter wheel, and v-groove miniature bearings, + flat bearings mounted inside an aluminum frame. The hardened steel cutter wheel is actually made for cutting metal piping. Using the cutter wheel on plastic coating allows for a lot of stripping copper wire before the cutter wheel ever needs replaced. Scavenger Series are all small, portable, easy and safe to use, eco-friendly, and best of all inexpensive. With a little engineering of your own you can build one to use for yourself. Plastic coated copper wire has been around since the 1960's and is still made the same way today. Long into the distant future, copper wire recycling will still exist and cleaning the copper wire before recycling will always be the most cash back at the scrap metal yard. Using the right tools to do the job will be the recyclers choice. Ongoing expense is always a factor when considering copper wire strippers.

Check out the Scavenger Series on Youtube and see for yourself before buying any other copper wire recycling tools. ECONOMICAL, ECO FRIENDLY, SAFE & NON TOXIC, PORTABLE, EASE OF USE, EFFICIENT, best recycling tool on the market.

What to do with your E-waste if you live in Las Vegas Nevada

Champion Recycling Pays Top Doller on E-waste, old cell phones and electronics in Las Vegas Nevada

E-waste and used electronic equipment can make you Cold Hard Ca$h.

You could donate it to schools or non-profit organizations for its original intended purpose but, be aware that once equipment has outlived its original intended usefulness it may not be welcomed by all organizations for reuse, but it can still be Recycled and make you Money.

In general electronics recycling refers to the inspection, disassembly, sorting, and processing of discarded electronic equipment for potential re-use or re-manufacture. If you were to drop-off or send your old computer to an electronics recycler, they would first inspect the equipment noting the technology and functionality, and if it is determined to be no longer of value for re-use, it would be broken down into its constituent parts; such as housings, circuit boards, wiring. These would then undergo further processing into base materials for use as feedstock in manufacturing new goods or in some cases disposal.

FACTS – Manage Your Electronic Wastes

The growing demand for consumer electronic equipment and the marketing of new features has caused rapid growth in the generation of electronic waste, or e-waste.
Under the general heading of e-waste are included computer equipment, televisions, printers, fax machines, telephones, etc. Carnegie Mellon university estimates 60 million PCs have already been buried in US landfills. The national Safety Council estimates 250 million computers will become obsolete between 2004 and 2009 (136,000 per day).
Americans discard around 100 million cell phones per year – and while many are reused, a significant number are disposed as trash (Smithsonian August, 2005).
Proper management of this growing segment of the electronic wastestream is a challenge for business, government and the general public.

What are the concerns?

Rapid advances in technology and an expanding demand for new features accelerate the generation of electronic waste. Every year in Nevada hundreds of thousands of computers, monitors, copiers, fax machines, printers, televisions, and other electronic items become obsolete and if not reused or recycled end up in our landfills.
The concern is that certain components of electronic products contain hazardous materials. While circuit boards, batteries and switches may contain heavy metals, the significant component in the e-waste stream.

Teen electrocuted while salvaging parts from a computer

Anyone that’s worked with computer hardware knows there are some risks involved. Sharp edges inside a case can leave your hands and fingers looking like you lost a thumb-wrestling match with Edward Scissorhands not to mention the potential to short out or otherwise damage fragile hardware. But for one teenager in Shawnee, Kansas, the stakes were much greater as he lost his life while reportedly stripping a computer down for parts to build another.

Local news station KCTV-5 says the teen unplugged the computer before diving in. It’s unclear how long the system might have been powered off before he started working, however.

The incident happened on August 16 although an autopsy recently revealed electrical burns on his body. The official cause of death was deemed to be electrocution; likely the result of touching a loaded capacitor inside the power supply.

Captain Dan Tennis of the Shawnee Police Department said the unnamed victim was “one of those kids,” the type that’s always tinkering with computers and gadgets. Disassembling a computer is something he’d done multiple times before.

Full details haven’t been released nor do we know why he opened the power supply to begin with. The boy’s father arrived home to find his son dead. As the captain pointed out, power supplies typically have all sorts of warning stickers reminding users about the dangers that lie within. About the only parts to salvage inside a PSU would be a cooling fan or two – cheap components that certainly aren’t worth risking your life to retrieve and reuse.

What many people don't know is that most scrap metal can be recycled for cash

Recycling Scrap Metal for Money

by Virginia Buechel, earth911.com

Recycling and reusing items like plastic bottles, hand-me-down clothing and newspapers is important to make part of one's every day routine to help increase the green movement. One section of the recycling industry that may not be as popular, but just as important, is scrap metal recycling. Scrap metal exports are one of the largest in the US and by recycling metals, we reduce the amount of ore drilling throughout the world.

Some of these metals include copper, steel, aluminum, brass, iron and wires, but they are often tossed in the garbage due to the lack of knowledge and sources for metal recycling. We're here to help educate the community to keep an eye out for those opportunities to grab some metal and bring it to the right place.

Recycling Scrap Metal Makes Money

What many people don't know is that most scrap metal can be recycled for cash payments at +ChampionRecycling in Las Vegas, thus adding to the green movement.

CHAMPION RECYCLING is Las Vegas's #1 Local Metal Recycling Solution.

Scrap metal yards deal with customers that are in the trade industry that come across metal on a daily basis. Many could be construction companies that may have tons of steel beams from structures, electricians that could have wires and electrical equipment or plumbers that have copper piping and brass fixtures. While scrap yards see a large quantity of these metals from the trade industry, homeowners are always welcomed and encouraged to bring their own metal scrap to make money and recycle the metals at the right place.

A Magnet Assesses Metal Value

Determining if you have a ferrous or non-ferrous metal and separating it is the first important step before bringing it to be recycled. The easiest and most common way to figure out what kind of metal you have is by grabbing a magnet.
Hint: If you don't have a handheld magnet handy, any magnet will do – even one from your fridge.
If the magnet sticks to your metal: You have a ferrous metal in your hands, something common like steel or iron. Ferrous metal is not worth very much when you bring it to the scrap yard, but the scrap yard will still accept it and make sure it is recycled properly.

If the magnet does not stick to your metal: The metal you have is a non-ferrous metal. Many common metals, like copper, aluminum, brass, stainless steel and bronze are categorized as non-ferrous metals. These metals are very valuable to recycle and are worth more money at the scrap yard.

Once you have your metals separated, come on down to Champion Recycling at 3000 Meade ave., Las Vegas, Nv., 89102 or give us a call (702) 648-4884.

Often times, homeowners feel intimidated going to a scrap yard, but at Champion Recycling we'll help you with have your metals separated for the best money.

It Helps to Know Your Metals

The most challenging part of metal recycling is recognizing what material you are looking at and what it is worth. Know these basic metals and it gets a whole lot easier:

Copper – $$$$

Copper is a reddish color if it is in good condition, and if it is a bit worn it can have a darker brown color with some green rusted areas.
Copper is a common material in the structure of homes. It can be found in your home as plumbing pipes, roofing materials like gutters, within the inside of air conditioners and common electric wires.
Copper can also be found in electrical wires and underneath that black or colored plastic insulation is bright colored copper wire.
Copper is one of the most valuable metals to recycle, so collecting it and keeping the different kinds separate can earn you some "pat-on-the-back" money for recycling it with you scrap yard.

Aluminum is often painted with white paint, but is a whitish, silver color and can easily be bent if it is thin.
Aluminum cans are not the only place you can find this metal.
While cans are often collected and brought to the scrap yards in bulk, aluminum can also be found in many places throughout your house.

Often used for gutters, siding, window frames, doors, and more, aluminum is in more places than you can imagine.
While aluminum is not worth a lot of money at the scrap yard, a common piece of aluminum can be recycled and used again within a few months. Recycling aluminum saves 80% of the energy that was used to make it.

Brass - $$

Brass is yellowish with a hint of red in it and is a very heavy metal.
Brass can often be found in hardware like keys, door handles, light fixtures and bathroom fixtures.
Composed of copper and zinc together, brass is used often in plumbing fixtures and also at the end of copper piping. A mid-level priced item at a scrap yard, brass can add up quickly in weight because of how dense it is.

Steel can often rust very easily and a magnet will stick to it.

Steel is one of the most common metals used throughout the world. It can be found in many places, from your car to chairs, shelves, cabinets and more.
While it is not worth much at a scrap yard unless you have thousands of pounds of it, it is still wise to collect it and bring it to be recycled the right way.

LAS VEGAS — A Las Vegas firm planning a recycling plant for construction and demolition debris on the site of the former Sanders factory says the fire at the site last weekend may scuttle its plans.

Last November, Green Energy Renewable Solutions Inc. (OTCBB: EWRL) bought five acres at the former Sanders factory at 100 Oakman Boulevard in Highland Park, and later contracted to buy adjacent parcels totaling about 10 acres.

The company says the combined 15-acre site is planned for development into a construction and demolition debris recycling plant, as well as the future site for a waste-to-energy plant that would use waste wood and other materials to produce renewable fuels and electricity.
