You might know this already ben but a nice tip with microwaves is keep the plates and holder aside and sell separately or in lots of 10 or something, we bought one secondhand once when our plate broke. Id give them a hot soak though.
Did my own version of a street scrap run yesterday. We have "bulky pickup" every other week here. I got a good laugh as I was cutting cords, collecting fans and the odd TV. My best find was a stack of extruded Al. We have a lot of screen enclosures over pools and back decks here. Someone tore theirs down and put the Al frames out for collection. No PC's or DVD's :-)
Hey Ben at 2:00 that grill is a fly zapper that hang from the roves of your house I pulled one apart and they have a balist and a nice sized transformer in them
Ben I watched this vid this morning and I thought what a great find @ 2:29 .I then went out to do some scrapping and I found the same kind of block and tackle that you found . Things that make me go Hmmmm?
Australia looks so much like suburban US which makes it so weird with you driving on the left side. And then one of your birds open its mouth and I know it's definitely a different place. Love the videos of you driving around.
I hit up the northern section of the area yesterday afternoon after I met you at the scrap yard. Plenty of cords and electronics out early on. Then the white van brigade hit a little later in the arvo and pickings were slim and cords cut.
Rain's not going to stop Ben!!! Not bad considering the weather. I remember this very well from when it was first put out last July. The curved tv was pretty cool, because a few months before in March I got my 1st one. I was about 4 houses down when the people where taking it to the curb. When I saw it was a curved tv I was stoked, it was a very rich neighborhood that was notorious for putting electronics to the curb that worked, probably because they update alot and don't care about money. When I got it home I looked up size and date. It was only 16 months from the date of assembly, and it was faulty. The boards inside were not impressive at all. GREAT to see you work in the rain. It shows your passion for what you love to do!!!! 👍👍
I agree with you, with the exception of the cords a vacuum takes to much time to scrap and just are not worth it. I knew one guy once that would throw them in a trailer with everything else and he would even cut the springs out of mattresses and get the steel from recliners and the couches with recliners and even hideabeds, that is too extreme for me. He made three trips a day to the scrap yards and that was how he made his living. I am just not physically able to do that.
12:56 fast forward to the year 2020. If the owner of the 9 matresses lived in Bendigo and had to take them to the tip It would have costed.....no joke $31 per mattress to dispose of it (so $279 total).
Nice vid Ben.. I allways like this kind of vid`s . the best of street scrap. Can you do the scrapping video a daily scrap .. like few pc`s , modem´s , dvd`s .. same type a video when you scrap a phones. a little eating´s and relax..talking :)
most people throwing their garbage in the afternoon, on the evening, so the scrappers are coming out that time of day i guess, 1:22 looks like the earth is spinning faster and faster 😅 Ben , send me some cold wind to my place, its here 30 degrees since a week or more, 2:11 remembers me of pitch black 😜 7:51 what was that? a pc? , monitor = moneye coppa ! 20:35 the third teddy on the street 😪
If you could get you a 12 20 16 foot flat bed trailer with side boards you could throw your scrap steel into it and keep the space in the van for your other stuff and that could give you more content for your videos as well, that is if you could pick one up for a good price and have room to park it that is. I hope to get me a trailer before too long. You could load it up once a day and run buy the scrap yard to sell and it would pay for itself pretty quick and gas as well, hey just saying.
Do a video about the curved TV scrapping, it may be a youtube first, but you will need to take it apart down the all the screen layers to get the video really interesting.
The subtitles were on for some reason and you said "gud day scrappers" but it came up as "our garage scrubbers" which if you say it fast it does sound like gud day scrappers
eWaste Ben I noticed your not into getting copper, I can scrap a fan in five minutes and a TV in five but you leave them. In other videos you say you sell copper ingot on ebay for six times the amount? Why not take the time to scrap those on the spot for the copper ? Love the videos but im one of us that yells at my computer when you leave a fan of tv.
Fan motors are too much work to get the little copper, I take CRT monitors for good copper, tv's are a bit messy to do on the street, it creates a scene, but I do get my share of tv's through the week doing regular pick ups so I got enough, But if I see a Sony I might scrap it out for better value copper, I do have a large stockpile of copper for melting too.
Your doing a great job, but I will still yell at my computer when you dont pick up a fan or scrap a T.V. Yelling from Canada so you should be able to hear me fine. Cheers I going to the bar right now and my first drink will be too copper
It no big deal and I know you have explained it but it just bothers me every time you don't scrap the TV's with the CRTs in them because I am unable to scrap at this time and here in the USA they have really good scrap value, it's kind of an OCD thing with me but I still enjoy the videos so keep them coming.
welcome back Ben always fun to see some new content
Wow, super early. Street scrapping is my favorite! :-)

Awesome scrap video Ben
Definitely need to see you scrap out those curved TVs.

I'm not a scrapper. Looks like fun but these street videos are like hidden item picture puzzle games. Great fun.
Giving Ben a like show him that you care . Work through the rain good job .

Hi Ben I follow your videos when free awesome you are hard working and smart people ,regard Singapore
I hit up the northern section of the area yesterday afternoon after I met you at the scrap yard. Plenty of cords and electronics out early on. Then the white van brigade hit a little later in the arvo and pickings were slim and cords cut.
Yeah friday must be better than saturday, I was picking up the dregs left over :)
Tomorrow should have some fresh piles so will be better
I see the white van brigade in every hard rubbish in Melbourne but have never seen EwasteBens white van in any hard rubbish collection!
Rain's not going to stop Ben!!!

Nice variety of finds.

I wish scrapping was this easy in my area...
Maybe all those mattresses had bed bugs

Nice video,s
Cold??? Oh yea south of equator... never mind lol
The boards in the TVs are worth some real money. But you already knew that.
Do a video about the curved TV scrapping, it may be a youtube first, but you will need to take it apart down the all the screen layers to get the video really interesting.
Yeah, I was thinking the same thing, It would be interesting to see what makes up the screen and whether it's any different to a regular screen.
The owner of that curved TV definitely had a kid with artistic talent.
i love your videos
Is there any difference in copper amount from a tv to a computer monitor?
Mr. greens boat tanks and aluminium welding yes monitors have a little bit more copper
NZ WOTB thanks!
Good day Ben early bird catches the worm or did you wet the bed lolo keep on trucking champ

New saying......... ICAPC , hahaha brilliant.
@ewaste Ben get a sticker made fo ur van +advertise ur yube channel?
Lol is it normal where You leave, that there is a pile of rubbish next to each house?
The subtitles were on for some reason and you said "gud day scrappers" but it came up as "our garage scrubbers" which if you say it fast it does sound like gud day scrappers
you should get a little drone and do a reconnaissance mission of the piles, save yourself some gas :)
probably not a good idea :D
little tip i know its windy ,but see your disturbing piles and rubbish blowing away ,clean up the mess you make ,gives rest of us a bad name .
eWaste Ben I noticed your not into getting copper, I can scrap a fan in five minutes and a TV in five but you leave them.

Your doing a great job, but I will still yell at my computer when you dont pick up a fan or scrap a T.V. Yelling from Canada so you should be able to hear me fine. Cheers I going to the bar right now and my first drink will be too copper

Hey, you're letting plastic bags and styrofoam blow away.
A lot of cameras flash low battery when their about to go dead. But does yours flash low IQ when you holding it
Tripods have aluminium legs.
Dude do you know what your doing? I see so much scrap in the video that you missed ?
Yes I know but some is scraped or didn't see other he doesn't take and have and the rain...
Talk to me
Wear plastic gloves inside ur regular gloves
wow, you passed up a lot, fan motor, lots of steel, aluminum, etc.
*THATS A GREAT VIDEO ..... ! NICE IDEAS...... THANKS FOR THAT ....!!!!*
