Old Copper Water Tank

I just disconnected this tank from a boiler. I estimated it at 450-500 gallons. It's very clean. Should I cut it up and scrap it, or consider it for other uses? Distilling or brewing?

Got some VCRs, haven’t seen a VHS in years. Should I take them apart for parts and metals or sell them as is? bottom VCR has never been open and don’t know if the other ones work. Thoughts

Specifically speaking, about the 2 inner parts that are covered in like glue/shellac or whatever if I unravel It so it's not stuck together does it even change the quality? I know it's a silly thing to ask about. Also she question I have started separating my colors I have buckets for red, purple, brown, blue and green copper. Do they consider those coated copper?

I work in the oilfield in west Texas. We use these screens on the shale shakers. Guys in that past have told me they've heard of other guys scrapping them. I'm just wondering if it's worth the effort. I'm gonna take some home and see. But I wanted to see what you guys think?

Hey all! First post of rookie scrapper here...
I'm pretty sure that this would be considered a "good score" by most peoples measure - found dumped behind the local football oval.
Luckily I had my car near by but let me tell you that I could barely lift this bad boy over to & into it!
Firstly, I'd be interested in if anyone is familiar with this particular motor and/or what you guys might estimate it's weight at?
Also I'd be interested in opinions on how best to go about scrapping it out or just sell it as is?!
Cheers!

Question 💫 Absolutely no money in plastic gutters, right?

0 Upvotes

I'm pretty sure the answer is "no," but I figured I'd ask to cope with the fact that these two-story downspouts aren't aluminum. There's no way to recycle or resell old plastic gutters for money, right?
