As you know all too well, taking monitors is a necessary evil to retain clients. Sorry you burned your hand, that can be painful. It's important to keep in touch with your client base. Lots of competition these days so we need to retain our pole position.
Excellent scrap session all of those are really good stuff I would have to strip them all the way down awesome video with great content thank you for sharing this with us six stars
I trash picked a PlayStation 5 and opened it to try to figure out why it wouldn't turn on. You should have seen the massive heavy copper heatsink. No, I didn't scrap it but sold it for parts repair . Turns out the power supply was faulty however I didn't want to gamble as their may have been other issues such as bad mobo etc. Buyer was happy and I made some money win win.
Nice Scrapping of these Monitors - Great to see whats Inside and You scrapped out all those Goodies like Boards etc for Extra Value ! Nice Scrapping Session and many Cheers from us in QLD !!!!
Love the ceramics and the red tanties!! I've obviously had to stop my e-waste pick ups while living in and out of hospital with the youngest and I've really really missed it but I've been in the shed a little and it has felt really amazing scrapping again! My favorite snips are Knipex. Sorry your burnt yourself, hope it is healing well!
Interesting that your local gov is moving to booked pickups for bulk. I suspect in time they'll realize that isn't very efficient. It's nice for the resident as they don't have to wait for that one or two weeks in the year to put it out. But not very efficient for the waste collection folks unless there is enough activity to schedule multiple houses within a reasonable driving distance of each other.
They'll probably just build (open?) local centers for people to drop off their trash whenever they want. it will be very efficient for the company :) People will get rid of their stuff right away, they'll drive it to center and sort it them self :) We used to have sidewalk pickups here, but now there are local centers where you have like 15 different containers for different materials to put in. You can still order one free bulk pickup per year, but there's no need for that if you get rid of stuff regularly. It's mostly used when someone renovating or smth like that
Here in Germany we only have booked pickups. They book a date where they will be in the area anyway for others who have booked one. They'll be in your area 4 times a year and you can get wrid of your stuff for free as long as it's below 8m³. It's very well managed. For example hard rubbish has to be seperated from any metals or from eloctronic waste in order to get as much recycled as possible. There are even transfer stations where they handpick the "good stuff" and donate or sell them for a low price to people in need. It's always fascinating to me to see street scrapping or dumpster diving videos in the US or Australia with huge piles and everything mixed together.
@@sharkscrapper. Same system here in Denmark. In addition to that every household must have two garbage bins, each with two separate compartments: One for metal, one for plastic, one for food remains, and one for everything else; though, regarding glass and paper you just go to the nearest street corner where bigger containers are permanently placed, and drop it in the correct container. It's prohibited to throw any hazmat or e-waste in household garbage bins. Every municipal/county does have at least one or two large transfer stations where you for free drop off waste like cardboard, electronics, car tires, paint/chemicals, insulation materials, wood, concrete, bricks, batteries, hard-/soft plastic, garden waste, stones from the garden, virtually everything as long as it's sorted. Almost everything gets recycled. What can't be recycled at present (plants are under construction) is incinerated for energi recovery. Later the ash is processed and metals are recovered. The remaining bottom ash is used for fx. road construction. The fly ash is used for cement production; the kilns are partly fuelled by dirty non recyclable plastic/rubber. All food waste from companies and households is processed via anaerobic digestion into biogas/RNG and compost. We don't have landfills!
Gday Ben how you doing mate? god those monitors are well built ay hope that sculled that you had goes away fine another great video have a good rest of your day.
You do know you can sharpen your wire cutters using the kitchen knife sharpener, right? Just sharpen them the same way you sharpen a knife. Btw, awesome video! More badass stuff there then what you got here in the U.S. in such things. 🤙🤙🤙💙💙💙💜💜💜
interesting about the power boards. I'm in the US and my scrapyard treats those the same as midgrade/peripheral boards. larger boards are all treated as server/motherboard same as telecom boards. hard drives are their own category if you leave the little board on the drive but if you pull the board, the hdd turns into a cheaper scrap category. heatsinks are their own category.
I also get monitors in my pickups. Luckily my yard is able to justify me bringing in a few from time to time since the shred pile includes vehicles with the same technology in it. It helps because I get all in one PCs that require destruction and recycling and we don't have transfer stations here in Ohio for the screens.
There's not too much of a shortage of zinc if you take into consideration most circulating coins are mostly zinc, at least in the U.S. Numismatists call post-1982 pennies zinnies because they have very little copper.
🇳🇴 Hey. Have you stoped melting copper? Just thought,if you put on the furnace while scrapping,breaking of the copper from the powerboards,and melt while/or after scrapping,you gain the copper and saves time making it into å melting video to that you could upload coupple of days later. Cheers from NORWAY 🇳🇴
Your old cutters look like then they were made by NWS, a German OEM who are excellent. If they were Made In Germany, then they were, if made elsewhere then they are knockoffs and you should try the NWS ones.
Ugh. Monitors.🙄 The older thick ones always have a ton of boards and metal weight, but the new ones are so much plastic with a tiny board. They are last to scrap when I have nothing to do and need to make space.
Ben, I've heard talk of gold going to $4000 an ounce US in the next year. Is that enough for you to process your gold scrap? If you were to get a fume hood and start extracting it would give me confidence to do the same.
Well, US$4000 oz for gold would be great but kinda scary at the same time. It wil happen eventually but the economy might send most back to lining up at soup kitchens for a feed, that could be scary as the younger generation might not handle that. But i'll be ready. Main thing to realise is, we all know what we can get from gold recovery ewaste, so you probably don't have to recover, could just sell as is and let the pro's recover. either way, stockpile and hold.
I'm old enough to recall when gold was $300 us dollars. That was approximately early 1990s mid 90s. Now gold goes for what $14-1500 us? So in 30 years gold has gone up on average 5.51% per year. Does anyone think it adequately mirrors inflation?
ewaste plastic is different to say ABS, it's not clean and different qualities including fire retardants, not easy to recycle and onsell so no real value, costs to recycle it absorbs value as it's too oddball to make anything useful

No doubt! Saw recently that you running your own scrapyard. Really 😎 Cool
Thanks Ben, always enjoy scrapping and tinkering in my shed to your scrap/chat session videos 👍😊

GREAT VIDEO BEN!
cheers Ben 👍

Hi Ben. You did a great job. I hope your burn heals quickly. Try some silver cell. Please take care and stay 👍👍👍❤️❤️❤️😎😎😎
Thank you, I will
That's first monitor I've seen with a motherboard in it.
Pretty cool
Great video

Yay 😃👍
My yard would take the whole monitor minus the boards as scrap steel
I also get monitors in my pickups. Luckily my yard is able to justify me bringing in a few from time to time since the shred pile includes vehicles with the same technology in it. It helps because I get all in one PCs that require destruction and recycling and we don't have transfer stations here in Ohio for the screens.
WhatsApp number please
Monitors, printers and keyboards. Horrible to scrap out but everything else you get more than evens it out.
👏👏👏👍
with the world shortage of zinc , it could drive up the price of Zinc as a separated metal , extruded aluminium and other aluminium zinc alloys
There's not too much of a shortage of zinc if you take into consideration most circulating coins are mostly zinc, at least in the U.S. Numismatists call post-1982 pennies zinnies because they have very little copper.

Hope you get clients
The tin snips work the best much better and faster than those side cutters
what are the prices for the board you get like powerboard or the golden sidestrips ?
Ugh. Monitors.🙄 The older thick ones always have a ton of boards and metal weight, but the new ones are so much plastic with a tiny board. They are last to scrap when I have nothing to do and need to make space.
Can anyone tell me if there is anywhere in Adelaide that buys E-Waste (motherboards, ram and Hard drives)
Di you sell the screws as tool steel?
Ben, I've heard talk of gold going to $4000 an ounce US in the next year. Is that enough for you to process your gold scrap? If you were to get a fume hood and start extracting it would give me confidence to do the same.

Gold is over US$1900 oz, averages about 8-9% per year so as good as anything I guess
How do you find a place to sell to?
Have you found a place to buy scrap plastic yet?
ewaste plastic is different to say ABS, it's not clean and different qualities including fire retardants, not easy to recycle and onsell so no real value, costs to recycle it absorbs value as it's too oddball to make anything useful
Have you ever thought about having simple contracts with the businesses so they don't call someone else ?

not Aussies, but Kiwi's ( New Zealand) big difference!
