- Free copper wire is still everywhere in old TV's, microwaves, computers , on power circuit boards, electric motors and many other electrical appliances.
Free copper doesn't come any free'er if you want copper for casting ingots etc, this is how I get it and there's plenty still around if you want free copper too.
Scrapping tools, safety gear, furnaces, ingot moulds etc that I use or recommend.. www.amazon.com...

Unlike many people on here, or the entire net to be honest, you are providing quality information and knowledge. I almost never comment but wanted to take a moment to say that you should be proud of the service you provide and to not pay any attention to the negativity so many propagate.
The mantra of those posting should be " In the time it took to leave that negative comment you could have found something you do LIKE." Keep on being you and thank you.
I love to hear you say copper~~~

@@Cr1z4n63L ahhhhhhhhhhhhhh
me too! coppah!,,,coppah!
Just ignore the haters they only jealous cos they getting ready to go to work at McDonald's working a 12 hour shift with their boss breathing down their neck with only 3 breaks in the day working for yourself like this is priceless also you are keeping this stuff out of our overfilled landfills and the best thing is its fun as hell its modern day treasure hunting all i say to the haters is "cool story bro"
I was just thinking the same thing, people are just lazy, or mad because they don't have want to put out the effort of finding old electronics, the shit is free most the time.
Ben is the sole reason why I love doing e-waste
Hello from northen Sweden.
I agree with you,, haters will be haters. They scoff and laugh at you for scrapping even when I know they have the time to do it themselfs but they are just too good for scrapping.
One guy I met at the recycle station giggled and was generally smug,, I had to tell him that money is where glamour isn't.
Stay safe and take care.
@@pederlindstrom3132 "The money is where the glamour isn't"
That is a great one! I will have to remember it.
@@pederlindstrom3132 great last name😊 greetings from the US
How many caught on to the fact that he said copper an extra amount, just to irk the complainers who complained about the way he said it? LOL good job!
Thank you for your common sense approach to the argument of free copper. You make a good point. Well taken
The most important video for so many reasons. The landfill doesn't need more recyclable scrap.
I love what you do mate, I'm actually envious hahaha keep doing what you do bud, as long as your happy that's the main thing!
It’s free, it’s your hobby, it’s your time . Thank you
I enjoy your videos mate. I love hearing Aussies talk. Never gets old.
Competition Time!
How many times did I say copper in this video?
eWaste Ben 1x Time
Rest is Coppa
Just kiddin :)
Too many times to bother counting lol.. busy scrapping my copper yokes atm..
eWaste Ben I ran out of fingers and toes
eWaste Ben 81 times
more than 1000 less than 1,000,000
This was educational , love the way you say Copper and keep the optimism. Love it even if others are negative about it , disregard them and Keep up the great work. Thank you
I love to see videos that address haters. There are so many of them! Thanks mate!
Don't worry about the wankers
Your channel is great. After seeing your tips I was able to gather 1200 pounds in about 10 months. if you look it's everywhere.
What about MC Donald's 👎 scrapping is flexible. I even advertise in my area and people drop things off at my house. One last note anyone that says anything about you pronunciations as a complete jackass have a blessed Christmas thank you again for your channel
People think you dont need to invest time and effort into something when they hear "Free". There is a context to everything. They are just dumb. They think he can synthesize copper out of air. Full Metal Alchemist
Nice collection very impressive the bottom line is you do it as a hobby, they just dont get it. So keep on scrapping. Aloha from Hawaii.
Good point Roland. I do the same as Ben. Copper is my gold.
amazing work! seems totally feasible- i’ve been at it for 2 months now, got about 200 lbs.
If you don't pay for it, it is free. Pretty simple.
fr
True
Well, technically but not technically. It's only really free if someone gives it to you for free without any work involved. Once you have to put in labor, it's no longer "free". It costs whatever you value your time at.
@@NotSoCrazyNinja so if you value your time at nothing, then it's free?
But no, by your logic nothing is free, everything takes time.
@@dylansacco2481 Nothing in life is free.
Of course there aren’t any CRT TVs around!! You already got em all!!
Your a hoot Ben. Try not to mind the negative people. They are everywhere. You’ll never explain away anything to a negative people.
Q: How do you get a CRT to laugh? A: Tell it a YOLK!
😆
I like how you organized this video. I'm sure any new scrappers learned a lot.
Great video as always! It is amazing how much I have learned about scrapping from your videos. Keep up the great work Thanks!
I have collected over 300 pounds of copper in the last 3 months out of crtv's and other electronics and old extension cords. Crtv's are everywhere if you look for them and so are the bigger projection tv's here in Central Texas.
Keep up the good vids some of us enjoy them and learn from them.
Copper=free money. I've been doing it for years and there is money in that, BRAVO Ben and all scrappers . Saving the world a bit at a time.
Thank you Ben for all your videos, it has been a great help. As for those negative people or comments the hell with them.
Great channel and uploads,
Very informative and clear.
You showed me how to break stuff and get paid. Great hobby.
howdy ewaste ben!
treat the comments like you treat your scrap.... take what's useful and leave the rest. it's really cool to see what you're doing. keep doing it we're all watching!
Thank you for turning many people on to this, so many make money and for the first time enjoy their work, more power to you young man
I agree whole heartedly mate, some people just expect to get everything, free and with no effort, everything we get in life costs us some effort, nothing is absolutely free.
Wonderful video, Ben. I think it is ABSOLUTELY worth the little bit of work it takes to scrap out copper from TVs or computers or microwaves.
I think your great brother.. you save so many resources from going to the trash .. I do the same it’s a great hobby .. I wouldn’t worry about anything anyone says.. all your videos have helped me and I would like to say thank you ..
Last week i watched your video where you demonstrated breaking down a crt. Lo and behold, a neighbor was tossing a large Sony. I spent a few minutes street scrapping and came away with a heap of beautiful copper. Im thankful for your video because i was able to do it fast and not make a mess. Thanks again
I understand you 100%. My son and I have gotten into melting copper for fun. No money involved, buying or selling. We tear stuff apart to see how it works and melt down the goods. Keep doing what your doing and have fun.
Your becoming one of my favourite youtubers .Keep doing your thing man ,
Just got my first free copper .
You are doing a very good job 😎😊👍 keep on doing
I just picked up a whole van load. Plus a spool of wire!!! We are havi g spring cleanup next week and im going to get on it!!
Keep on scraping Ben. You are an inspiration to all us scrapers!
Like usual another Great video thanks for sharing Ben and yes take no notice about people who really don't understand what you doing for the future of our planet, and making a few bucks on the side I also agree with you if your not paying for it directly then it's free no cash out only a small effort and a little time with a lot of satisfaction all the best mate.
You are by far the best scrapping channel going. Keep it up lad.
Love all your video just inspires me so much I'm from texas so your way of saying copper ain't like mine but i like it also the way you say aluminium is so different at first i thought it was something different all together now I can't stop saying it like an ausi keep up what you do and thank you
Everything you can recycle represents saved energy. Nothing but good what you are doing. We don't have many TV's here anymore but there are Microwaves and other motors in fridges and vacuums.
Wow! That's a lot. I do understand you. We share the same hobby. Copper's my favourite metal.
The way I looked at it once man's trash is another man's treasure people throw away electronics as trash we pick them up tear them apart and his treasure to us
thanks for the great video Ben, I've found it easier to find everyday appliances that contain copper, I've enjoyed your video like usual and thanks
Ben, You are doing a good job please keep it up. I like your videos a lot of info Thank you
hi ben i have been on your channel every day and im naw going out and getting free copper and ewaste to start making my own bars thanks for getting me out and doing some think fun and pulling apart the ewaste for copper and brass and gold is some think im going to keep doing
I like copper too! The haters will be hating this video!😂
I respect what you do. My Dad was also a part time scrapper. I myself stack copper hvac-r coils and pipe and scrap. Hey, eWaste Ben, you're not the only copper crackhead. Keep hustling the free copper brother.
my favorite is wen you say coppah bah ... love it ... enjoy your vids !!!
I salute you sir I also love a bit of free copper the less that ends up in landfill the better mate we live in a throw away world and it needs more people like us recycling. keep up the good work pal
Some people want money to just fall in their laps, that’s free to them. And then theirs people like us, we realize you have to put a little elbow grease into separating metals from things you get free, by going and getting it. Scraping is a way to make money if you aren’t afraid of working, it’s also relaxing for me, along with fun to see how things work or are put together.
I get criticized too for all the quirky things I do when I scrap. I will strip wire while watching tv or tear down smaller stuff. 2 thumbs up Ben. Love the accent.
👍👍👍 love the videos! keep on keeping on getting the free copper, high fives from Connecticut USA 👍👍👍
If you run across pre mid 70's TVs make sure you take the tube chassis, those old tubes can fetch a premium if they're still good. The old TV/stereo consoles are the best, the tubes in those are usually the same ones used in guitar amps.
You are a wonderful man who deserves a million likes
I understand you mate! We speak the same language, keep making your videos...i watch them all!
This is a real copper addiction mate. far more than a hobby :)
For real, this man just panned from one large heap of those yokes to a whole other like it was no biggie lol
The degausing coil is not a heavy guage cable. It's one single strand of thin enamal/poly coated magnet wire in a coil of about 100 to 200 truns.
Plain and simple for those people that spout off . Do it or don't it's your choice leave everybody else alone he is being nice to even talk to you about it. 😬😬
Dang Ben that's a ton of yolks.. the most I ever had was 20 and I thought that was a lot... Love copper .. and love the hobby.. I'm with you on that...I do the same same thing ...
Great video here in England they are not allowed to put old tellies in bin wagons they have to be recycled properly.
There is approximately 1kg of lead in every 10kg of leaded crt glass. I'm sure we recycle some but we don't recycle any if it goes to landfill which is just wasteful. I enjoy casting things in non-ferrous also, cheers Ben
Don't worry about those negative comments Ben
you're doing a great job I enjoy your videos very much and I actually won one of your copper Ingot one time my grandson loves to play with that keep the good videos coming and I really enjoy them thank you very much
30% of Canada's copper supply is scrapped copper. That's huge. Because mining new copper is more environmentally damaging. For example it produces arsenic as a byproduct. So the more people get out of landfills; the better. So good on this gentleman.
It's seeing value where others see trash. Once you open your eyes it's everywhere.
I just got $134 cad for 48lbs of copper wire saterday. I stripped it from tv's microwaves stereo transformers. I strip the chokes from power supplies and the ferrite transformers...it all adds up.
David Smith if you wouldve melted it into 1kg bars and sold for 20 dollars each you couldve get 480 dollars out of it
how much does an electric melter cost?
David Smith self made - 100$ bought one 400$
Scrapyards near me will not pay top dollar for bars of copper or aluminum, Getting to the place one price for one or the other
its not about selling it to the scrap yard, its about selling the bars online
What I like about scrapping is that really isn't any rules. Getting the scrap is one thing, what you do with them is up to you. I find micro scrapping as therapeutic. Keep what you are doing and let the complainers complain
Aside from your business, your hobby is making stackers out of scrap copper. Some people ridicule others for a hobby. Some hobbies have value and others don't. Just keep on doing the great job that you do!
Who cares what people say or think, I just collect bit by bit, and twice a year I get some pocket money lol, I didn't know about microwave s though, cheers mate
thank you for all your videos ive learned so much from watching how and were to get free copper im living dublin ireland and ijust colect copper and brass for a hobby its very terapuyit but you have showed me a lot thanks
Let da Koppar Free! Freedom for Koppar! 10:18 what a nice collection! bravo!
Love this. Thank you! From US.
I love my free copper. I just took in a $151.00 worth yesterday. Nice little pay day.
Agree with Ben! If this isn't for hobby and it's just about money.. well it's hard to enjoy scraping! So to take it to a business level.. that's not easy
Scrapping (regardless of target items) is a great hobby, you always come up a winner either in what you haul home or the people you meet on the ride around.
To the haters - BUGGER OFF IF YOU HAVE NOTHING POSITIVE TO CONTRIBUTE & GO FIND AN ACTIVITY THAT MAKES YOU HAPPY.
Thanks for the vid, I didn't mind it 'cost me' something to watch it, even if it was only my time.
Cheers 👍
Free copper is good indeed...especially if your into casting metal into things. The idiots who say you have to spend the gas...you still have to drive somewhere if you're going to buy it. CRT televisions are what I focus on. I do metal casting...mostly I find tons of aluminum...but copper is what I really like...for making bronze or aluminum bronze axes...hammers...decorative stuff etc.
anyone who says your time is worth something, ask them how much do they get paid to sleep.. you are doing a great job. cheers from Canada
Great work keep on keeping on
I scrap metal and I am not only motivated about making money. I walk around in my neighborhood for exercise and to walk my dog. I see all these discarded metals and other pollution laying in the streets and in alleys. I got the idea to start picking them up. There are many benefits to doing this: It adds to my exercise, bend up and down to pick them up. I am being a good steward of this Earth. Plus, I get a a little money doing it. So for me it is well worth it.
It’s your time it doesn’t matter how much time you put into it. It’s still free if you picked it up on the side of the road. I don’t do street scrapping but if I see it on Sally Road I’ll pick it up. I am actually Scrapping with Grandpa I’m just on my other channel
I live in America and when you say FREE most people over here have the mind set that it's going to show up at the door step with no work involved.. this whole world has become so damn lazy... keep up the videos buddy I love watching them
Great video!! Keep it up. could you do a copper melting and gold recovery video.
As a scrapper myself, do your thing bud. The only gripe i have is dumping the screws on the grass. Something i can't stand when ppl do it on my front lawn pulling crap apart. Other than that, rock on 👍
Hello Ben, I was wondering I have come across a few TV's that have the yolk glued down to the tube, How do you deal with that situation, I tried to loosen it but unfortunately I could not get them off easily. Any advice would be great. Thanks, love your video's got me started with scrapping TV's and dvd etc. of course wires.
I am addicted to watching your videos
Nice one, I scrap as a hobby and consider everything free, when I pick something up it’s usually on my way home from somewhere else, or dropped off. Even if I drove around all day there is still a profit made from the free items I pick up.
yeah I often drive to the store to buy milk or bread and find something to pick up on the way back, after a while your scrapping eye will spot a tv from 500 yards up the road, and the habit of looking down side streets as you go.
Just ignore the nay sayers. I'm tired of people who have to argue everything for the sake of arguing. Scrap metal is how I keep in spending money. Always looking for new ideas, keep up the good work.
Nice video you very lucky get lots of copper I do this job in London when I have free time I really like that 👍
Hey man I'd like to add that this method can be totally free. I can't tell you how many valuable items I find in my normal driving. It's a drive I was going to make anyway and you can literally strike gold this way. Quick example, and I never expect this to happen again. I see a generator at the curb 2 blocks from home. I pull up and take a look, and I see the home owner coming my way dragging another generator. I ask, "uhh you throwing these out?" He says that he is and then I ask why. They both need new carburetors, which he has both brand new in the box. He says he doesn't have time to mess with them.
I don't live in a rich neighborhood. The guy was elderly and I actually intend to throw something his way after I sell them. Watching your videos really helped me to pay attention to what's on the side of the road.
Bottom line. Don't feed the trolls. This stuff is as free as it gets and it's actually a community service to save these metals from the landfills. Copper is becoming less and less economical to mine(it's very hard to find it in high concentration and so you need exotic or toxic extraction methods) and saving it from being buried under garbage mountain is beneficial for future generations.
Just last week I pulled 4 CRT TVs from one house. One of them was a 36" Sony trinitron lol a good find but a real back breaker to lift. Good thing I am a bit of an ogre myself. I think it weighed more than I do.
You make it look easy. Lot's of copper!
i like your way of thinking and i respect it keep this coming i stay in new york usa u have my vote can i use some of ur ideas with ur permisn
People will always hate, just ignore them, i love your videos keep it up
Thanks for videos. I like what you are doing. Good job!
Hey man i enjoy your videos. You actually inspired me to scrap a TV the other day. It had a huge copper yolk. Unfortunately most everything else was either stainless or aluminum, which was disappointing, even the de gaussing cable was copper coated aluminum (major bummer) but life goes on. Just wanted to say hey and let you know i enjoy your videos. Have a great day
Yeah sometimes aluminium degaussing cables but not often, PC monitors are the best for copper
Over here in the US we have to drop them off at a recycling center. Last week I tried to drop 2 tvs I mined for scrap. The guy told me he will take it this time but not any more. He said something about gas being released when the cones removed.
So now I break them down small and put them in bags then in dumpsters. Its ridiculous im helping clean the environment but i can't get rid of the rest of the TV without having to resort to this
I do take out all copper and c-board and stereo too so I want know where I can send tv t o recycle to what name of company ? My town are in Kennett .Mo
Also I recently sold a microwave magnetron for around 20 bucks listed "for parts not working" on eBay.
You could also walk to the store to get the free hotdog. Barefeet of course, otherwise your shoes wear down. Which costs you money. #TeamFreecopper
One more subscriber for you. Hope to see you reach 100k soon
All scrappers have different ways of doing things for a variety of reasons. I really don't like the comments where people tell you what you are doing "wrong" just because they don't do it that way. Really annoying. Do what you do and forget the comment bullies, they serve no purpose except to make themselves feel like big shots.
Yep, they like having two minutes of fame.
Kudos to you, great job brother
Hey Ben,
As I mentioned previously, your videos are great! I too made a little fun of your pronunciation of copper, but it was just in a little goofy fun meaning no harm. Pay no attention to the bozos who are negative.
I've no doubt that you've got a good many who like your videos.
Keep doing what you're great at!
I understand mate..Carry on doing what your doing
So sorry about the abuse you have been receiving Ben. Have known about your channel for a while through word of mouth but have never seen one of your videos. You are simply providing people with information as to how they can acquire copper FOR FREE. Thank you so much for the videos.
