  • Trash picking today was short but still ok for a bit of scrap e-waste.
    Hard rubbish pickers are multiplying it seems, more & more every week but still enough junk out there for everyone to get a taste.
    Keep scrapping & Have fun!

    Since watching you for the past couple of years I have learnt a lot and I believe by all the comments made by others all over the world you have help many people out with teaching as you go.
    All the best and keep scrapping. I might put a video on one day with me just scrapping out some stuff.

    For those that don’t live in Melbourne. The reason that the scrappers roll out in force in these areas is that there are only a small handful of local council areas that have a “hard waste collection” the rest of Melbourne have adopted the “booked pickup” model. Councils save a fortune by only paying waste collection companies to collect booked pick ups vs picking up an entire suburb worth of trash, Not everyone will book 1pickup a year, but if the whole street did it then others just join in.
    I live north east of Melb, my council saves on average $320,000 to $370,000 per year booked pick up vs free for all.
    Also given the fact that most households would put out more than the allowed amount (2 cubic meters) and putting things out like paper, books, and cardboard that should be recycled through the normal bin system. A perfect example can be seen @04:10
    Just remember that local government is NOT about serving the community, it is ALL about money.
    ...in case anyone cares 😎😎

      eWaste Ben you have mentioned before you don’t like messing with harsh chemicals, I have found that if you mix vinegar and hydrogen peroxide (peracetic acid) it will take care of the pins. It works even better if you use a crockpot on high heat. I could do a video on it if you would like. It also works on gold fingers and the like.

    Somebody's using my line... have fun. I say that instead of have a nice day because what if somebody doesn't want to have a nice one.

    I've been scrapping since 1985, lmao when I go out basically anything that's got even 25% steel on it goes into the trailer, seems as though u do have a great amount to go through,u said once every six months it's like this for you?

    i always wondered why everything at the junk yard is missing the cords. What do you use them for?

    I’m surprised that you don’t tie downs Rollie bin for all the wire and small bits you pick up. Might make the muck out a bit easier

      WNY Trash Trucks it would be the exact opposite. Strap down a bin against the passenger seat and all the wire, modems, cd roms, mice, and other small bits would go in easy enough leaving room for PCs, motors, chairs, or whatever else is larger.

      @ursamines7643 4 года назад

      Not a big bin, a trash/recycle one in the 60-90 gallon (250L-350L) size.

      @@ursamines7643 you do know those are huge right and he has had a bin in there the one time you can barley even reach into use it.

      Yes I know how big they are. Hell even a standard kitchen trash bin would be useful for all the cords he gets.
