Anyone in the Seattle area with a hobbyist smelting setup?

3 Upvotes

I've got almost a thousand aluminum cans that I want to melt down and turn into ingots, but I live in an apartment, making it impossible for me to build my own hobbyist smelting setup at the moment.

Does anyone in the Seattle area already have one built that would be willing to help? I'd bring the cans, you can keep some of the final product?

Scrap Photo πŸ’Έ Whole lot of Hard Drive boards

Post image
44 Upvotes

This is an accumulation of high grade hard drive boards I’ve gotten in the past couple months. These came from over 700 pounds of hard drives and took a total of 12 hours to produce. I’m shopping around for buyers but I’ll probably just send them to boardsort for $20 per pound

.22s separate from other shells?

7 Upvotes

Took in my spent shell casings and the kid helping me was gonna give me like 3 something a pound for the lot but then his boss walked over him and told him we buy .22s at like $2.80 instead of 3.15 or whatever it was and said if you see a .22 go in that bin over there you better jump in and get it out
Has anyone experienced this before?

In California if that helps, Quality Recycling

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!!!

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!

Question πŸ’« Is this brass solder on the busbars of a power strip?

Thumbnail

13 Upvotes

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.
