On the plus side, you managed to get out of the yard with a free piece of scrap metal :)
I'm just sitting here like
"I needed that cable."
Am I the only one who watched the entire video just for the satisfaction of seeing those bins fill up as he empties all the buckets? I love it!
HECK YEAH!
@19:10 You have for sure a very positive attitude with everything, I admire that. With a punctured tire I would have gotten angry and would have probably been cursing. You are really a good guy. God bless.
Yep, with doing junk removal now I keep a tire plug kit.
Yes sir always have that in my truck
Carry a few screws with you just in case you get another puncture. They'll stay in long enough and keep the air from leaking out while you are getting where you need to go.
Excellent idea!
Or just a plug kit and a small compressor
Yeah I'd keep like 2 plug kits in the center console and small air compressor or a tank of compressed air. Most people dont know but plugs last a lifetime I had a honda accord wagon and I used to scrap in it and I had one tire with 3 plugs and one with 2 and they literally lasted until I sold the car a year later
@@williamkenny6383 or a chunk of Wrigleys double mint gum! to plug up your bumbum!
@@fumertonb don’t be so childish…… up your nose and around the corner;)
Hi Ben.
I'm happy that you were able to get the tire fixed.
Glad prices are good.
Stay safe and happy my friend.
Ttyl my friend ☺☺☺😇😇😇
Wire, wire, cash on fire! G'Day Ben!
I always carry a plug kit in the glove box and a 12 volt air pump also. I don't know how many times I have plugged a tire on the side of the road, better then calling a tow truck. I enjoy watching your videos, keep up the great videos.
Happy newear from Denmark.
Wow - Wheelie Bins full of Wire and Brass and Alu - You had a VERY good Payday - we loved the Action at the Scrap Yard - You sounded very Pleased indeed !!!! Another Quality Video - we love it - keep Safe and many-many Cheers from us here in QLD - well done !!!!
Great video! I went to the scrap yard today myself and had my best day yet scrapping. I sold a bunch of pipes that I found in dumpsters and a lot of other big pieces of steel. I crammed everything into my little SUV. Made myself a pretty 154$ :) Thanks for the learning materials, definitely helps me stay afloat during this pandemic, peace and love from the USA!
Yaaa Ben! Keep these scrap yard videos coming! Nice work
Pay something on the house, feed the chickens, pay the wife, get that tire kit, take more stuff to the yard....ewaste ben, the mastermind ...
be the wheel that keeps circular economy going
Fantastic Ben 😁👍
Nice payday Ben. Cast aluminum in my part of USA is only 38 cents.
the US dollar is worth more that the Australian dollar, so it would probably even out.
1kg = $1.35 AUD
1kg = $1.00 USD
2.2 lbs = $1.00
1 lbs = $0.45
So the 38 cents you get in your area, Ben got 45 cents.
Ben got $90 for his aluminum, the same amount would have netted you $74
Ben just an fyi you can buy the pins for rubbish bin lids. They are like $1 each and easy to instal
A metre of reed bar and a couple of nuts is cheaper.
I keep a plug kit and pump in my truck for quick repairs. Available from any part stores. It has saved me a few times.
AWESOME
nice start and yeah too good to goes well all the way spring in the tire boom just to level out the hapiness
scrap yard tyre deflation after weigh in. Been there done that got the t-shirt
I work at a scrap yard in Florida in the US. Those are pretty good prices over there. Keep up the good work.
Manhari sure has a nice looking truck fleet. Wouldn't mind taking that semi in the background for a spin around Melbourne.
You know what surprised me here is to see the terrain if this is how clean all the scrap yards in Australia are then I'm amazed in the US mud puddles everywhere and nasty you guys really clean love It
I always like to have a plug in my truck, especially after going to the scrap yard, so I can plug it on the spot. Of course the scrap yard is 30 miles from my home too! I'd have the plug ready when I pull it out and I try to keep as much air as possible in the tire!!
Most plugs I've put in has lasted the lifetime of the tread of the tire!!
Have a Great Day My Friend!!!
Gotta love that cable food 👌👍
Wow awesome day for scrapping almost $1500 need to move to Melbourne
good blog ben keep them coming gary from crewe England
Nice payday brother! That's it I'm moving to Melbourne! Non Ferrous and Boards are the meal ticket! Scrap paid for a new tire mate!
My local yard pays the same for all grades of wire. They are unusual as the other yards don't.
Right when you were commending them, "they" get you in trouble. 😆
Yes! Thanks so much
Nice vid, Ben. That tub has seen butter days lol.
Whoops the one at 3:39.
Glad for your good luck payout; sorry that you had your tire damaged. Hope that don't ruin your day. It was still very profitable.
Pay day 🌟 👍
I had a rubbish removal business in the city , 3 ton truck , averaged 1 flat a week . if it goes through the side it was a new tyre , always picked up screws or some crap at the tip or recycle center , thanks for the video it was a pleasure to watch
even with the flat was well worth the trip
I don't have that much it best to go to yard before you buy new tires.
Nice pay ben, shame about the tyre.👍
Free scrap steel! LOL!!!!
Awesome job, ben!
Best day of the week!
1:39 New patch cables!? Well, that's a waste!
Only cat5 , things have moved on
@@supersparks9466 Not really. While Cat6 is becoming the new norm, hardly anyone utilizes their full potential. Nothing that CAT5 can't handle anyway.
Love the duct tape on the lid!!
Seeing all that wire reminded me of the trailer park boys scene when they're running from the cops and stop at a farm and bubbles gets caught in some wire 😆
I have never seen anything in such bad condition as those skips
i've never seen such a old beat up van like his lol
@@MauriceNL1 A van is a Van and considering he uses this to take scrap/Waste, why the hell would you have a £15,000+ van? Hahah
@@xbluewolfy1741 I know it's a work van but still. If you take care of it an maintain good it would look way better than it is now
@@MauriceNL1 Not really lol if it was a cheap van to start with and he uses it for scrap/waste then keeping it clean is near impossible. The last thing you want to do after a 10 hour shift is go home and clean a van that will get dirty again the next day. That is why most people have a decent van, then a shit van for this reason.
@@MauriceNL1 it’s really not that beat up my guy especially considering it’s a work van
A day's job cash in hand worth it, well done. I'm retired and have all day, may look into it to keep me busy. Happy Easter to you and your family.
What a good guy Bob is. We like him 👍
Should do a wire processing video again
Sweet score...keep up the good work!!
I hope you made it home on that tire. At least the prices were good, still what a pain! Thanks for the video
Hate to see your tire like that. I could hear the fury in your voice. Really wish I could pay for that spare tire! Epic load. My mouth watered just looking at that wire. Lovely bucket of mixed brass. Sorry brass is just my favorite metal. Can you bring cast aluminum that appears to be zinc or diecast?
You should get a little van trailer to maximize loads to the recycling yards and maximize loads while on the street scraping
Wow, I knew the insulated copper wire bin frenzy was a coming, but wow what a payday! Keep em coming Ben I'll watch you cut cords all day plus I like listening to your talk! 👍👍 Edit: Ben how about all the Tin Plated Copper plates you took from the recent variable speed drive scrap out?
chrome, nickel or tin!
always keep a reserve tire or two in a van you have so much space
well done Ben, getting ride of the coated while its high brainy man
I got a tire plug kit myself recently after getting a 2nd screw in a tire, I figure it might happen again so why not save some money. First time I had the service station do it but this last time I decided to buy the kit. It wasn't bad to do, I did remove the tire because I just could not get the right leverage to push the tools in.
love it
GREAT VIDEO BEN KEEP BRINGING THE VIDEO'S DUDE 👍👍
Has good luck with the prices and then bad luck with the tyre, sods law as they say here...
Now it’s time for a new Van 😂
It's a Mercedes. It should last 30 years.
That OR he should modify his van! Get a twin turbo or upgrade the parts to get better mpg.
Freaking paint job... Switch to aluminum rims.. good stuff.
Here we go. I'll watch then comment,,, crap there I go again LoL 😂
I always carry a 12 volt air pump and a plug repair kit in my van, haven't needed to use it yet put one never knows when the moment might arise.
"that's only a half a bin of low grade, but I got a full one over there"
- ewb
Yeah - you think he would split the load to make it easier on himself - but he has more flaws in scrapping ability
you got lots of nice bins.
Good going Ben
How long did it took you to collect all this amount?
for me it's only a few weeks
@@eWasteBen any tips where can i find that kind of stuff? cheers
You need a hand “free labour” I’m happy to help
Your van is fully loaded as always and moneybag full of cash :)
Thanks for the interesting video! :D
The chooks get to eat this month!!
The chooks don't get eaten.
Shame about the tyre but it's on film so unless they want a bad rep they will buy you one! Other than that what a productive day man!!!🍻👌👍 celebrate with a few cool one's.
Always keep a tire plug kit and air compressor in your vehicle
Having visited Manhari myself recently.I get the feeling there's a price gap between being an ABN Vs Non ABN holder. That or they have some price structure based on quantity (more you have the higher the rate.). $3kg/$2.10kg.........Insulated copper. $1.80kg/$1.20kg for low grade cable. clean brass $5.60/$4.50. Domestic Aluminium $1.30kg/0.80c Kg Am i right or are Manhari selectively ripping people off?
Don’t pull out the wire! It was plugging the tyre so the air stays in so you can make it home/to a tyre shop.
Ngl I think a new van is getting closer and closer
Nice prices shame about the puncher I've just had to plug my tyre had screw in it
So happy to see you guys are mask free and able to shake hands with each other Ben! Not like here in Canada :( Great prices nice haul.
Put your seat belt on Ben or have you forgot the 200 dollar ticket you got
Current prices as of this morning is $3.20/kg for cords and $8.85 for top grade copper
Curious if its worth your time snipping off the plugs and cashing in on higher prices?
Can you go through differences in low vs mid grade wire please Ben.
Very nice video awesome
Hey ewaste Ben how hard is it for an American to become Australian?
Not really hard, you just have to pronounce Aluminum as Aluminium and say copper like Coppah, then your in.
@@eWasteBen 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
I know, right? lol Our prices are nothing compared to over there. Probably because of how close to China they are, though.
Those round elect conduit boxes are 12 to 20 each
Phantastic
This is going to be my 2nd side hustle
Solid bro
Hey Ben. Love your vids. They are top banana!!! Lol one thing can I ask please.... when you go to scrap yard and the fork lift operators approach you.... why do you speak to them .... what can I say.... a little weird , funny, change your speech.... as if they are alien hahahaha. You dont know you are doing it but you do it every time hahahaha with added hand gestures.
Yeah I know, I kinda talk simply because it's usually noisy and I want to make sure they hear me, but i'm like that sometimes
For any scrappers in the USA, you can simply take his price in AUD/kg and divide by 3 to get an idea of what hes being paid in USD/lb.
Formula I used:
2.2 lbs in 1 kg
0.74 USD in 1 AUD
Let AUD/kg equal A, USD/lb equal U.
U = (A/2.2)*0.74
U = (0.74/2.2)A
U = A / (2.2/0.74)
U = A / 2.97297
you can see he scraps stainless steel...maybe you can pick it up for him when you see it
Yes I could but I still don't know where he is, we didn't exchange numbers but if he's watching, next time knock on the door and say hello, always happy to swap stuff
Hi Ben id be curious to compare prices with what your getting compared to me. I haven't done a video for a while but seeing im selling every week maybe i should.......currently im getting
Bright Copper $9.65kg
Clean Copper $9.40kg
Dirty Copper $8.80kg
Clean Brass $6.25kg
Dirty Brass $5.75kg
Standard Cable $3.35kg
Dirty Copper/Aluminum Rads $3.90kg
Clean Copper/Aluminum Rads $4.25
Iv learned the real place where all scrap yards in Brisbane sell to, originally i thought it was Sims but i was so wrong.
👍nice payday shame about the tire but enough earned to get a new one👍
Where do you get all your wire
Nice pay day Ben! Just wondering - did you get the $3 mid-grade price for the Cat5 cable?
I haven't watched it all yet but maybe talking kilo
Yes but only because it had plugs removed and was only a little, if it was all cat 5 it would of went as data cable, so the lower price
I used to scrap id always burn the coating off the wire get more for it where I am.
I want a diesel metris 🥴🥺🥺🥺
do they weigh it before they throw it in and mix it like that?
👍👍👍
👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼
That aluminium-looking metal could be Zamak.
Oh! Yes, good point! I was trying to remember my metallurgy and that had gone quite past me. Thanks for the reminder
prices in Australia are much better than here in the states. most yards here are paying 4.5 cents a pound for steel/ light iron even tho the need for steel is going back up again.
Hi Ben. Good haul. Please stay safe and healthy. Talk to you later my friend. ☺☺☺😇😇😇
