If you have plenty of obsolete equipment and machinery, you likely have an excellent nickel scrap deposit you have yet to uncover. Nickel is a heavy-duty material that manufacturers use in many practical applications, tool and equipment development, and consumer-grade appliances.

If you're looking to profit from nickel, here are four high-quality sources you can find them.

Stainless Steel Equipment

Cutlery and other silverware have a significant amount of nickel you can extract through scrapping. Stainless steel is often combined with nickel, providing you at least 10% nickel scrap. Dental instruments, vehicle exhaust systems, pipes, valves, and other equipment, tools, and devices have a tremendous nickel amount that can fetch a high price.

Batteries

Batteries for your remote controls, mobile devices, and other portable equipment have nickel inside of them. Modern devices use Nickel-Metal Hydride (NiMH) rechargeable batteries, which have a limited lifespan. If you have set aside some double and triple-A batteries for proper disposal, you profit off their nickel scrap and by using a trustworthy scrapper.

Electroplated Objects

Plating operations for plumbing and fixtures improve these components' integrities. Nickel is the choice material for most electroplating operations. If you have recently salvaged a demolished property, take pipes and fixture inventories. Any item or component that requires extensive corrosive resistance can use electroplating solutions. 

Alloys

Any material that uses alloys extensively can have enormous nickel deposits. Nickel's primary use is to alloy with metals that need require resistance against corrosion, such as steel and iron. If you have any appliance, equipment, or machinery that uses metal components, a renowned scrapper will likely extract a significant amount of nickel and other alloys from it.
