I love watching these and I find them fascinating. Here in America, this just isn't possible. We do not have a "hard rubbish season" . It is actually fairly difficult to get rid of large/heavy trash. Generally you have to pay someone to haul it away or take it somewhere and pay to have it dumped. Either that, or just pile it up somewhere in your home for rent. That's what most people do.
In Finland there are 'open to everyone' collection points for metal scrap meaning that it's so cheap it's not viable to collect for scrapping. Excluding valuables like copper and pure aluminium. You would be lucky to get 20€ for a ton of pure steel scrap, cars going for trashing filled with sorted metal like iron and steel are just collected free in couple of days. Public garbage dumps have good and clear areas where different sort of wood/electronic/hazardous waste/construction waste can be dropped off and you pay by weight. They weight your car when you arrive and same when you leave and pay how much you dropped off, no matter what the waste is. But you cannot take anything away meaning that you cant just go and pickup good electronics and leave. Stores selling household appliences are mandated to accept trash household appliences. End result is high recycling ratio and not much left for individual scrapper. Pretty much only methods of acquiring good scrap are broken appliences through wourd of mouth or friends and family noticing some electronic trash left somewhere where it's not supposed to be left and to be quick to collect it. Yeah, it's good for the enviroment but that doesn't mean i have to like it :D
Frick hell, nice to see the thrill of the hunt. Over in Illinois we have garbage day. So every day a part of town or the county side are being picked up. I try to hunt about every 2 days. It keeps me busy getting all the cove off the copper wore. I've never found the size wire you find. Most of mine are 12-14 & 16 gauge wire. so I got a small adjustable wore striper that I use to get to the bare copper. I have over 100 lbs (US) and looking forward to making 5 pound bars.WOOOOOOOT!!
Love your work, you're awesome. The place with the rusty tools, you forgot the metal containers with the little drawers lol or maybe you didn't want them 😊
Hi Ben, Just Dee in North Pole, I want to tell You how much I enjoy Your vidios, I tell lpeople You are the best in the world at E Waste and I believe that true,On cutting cords,I think almost always leave at least a four inch stub in case somebody wants to use that device, I try not to cut cords if something looks reasonably good like You did with vintage piece on this vidio,Anyway best wishes ,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,, Dee
On the last episode, you found a tan colored motor on top of a pole with wobbly pulley, I think it might make a good bench grinder? I thought I saw the base to it, laying on the ground as you picked it up & took it to your van. at 6:28 of this video, drill bits & files are all made of hardened steel! Great for many things! I wouldn't scrap hardened steel!!! in the 1700's & 1800's saw's & nails weren't readily available as they are these days! If there was an apolcolips, hardened steel would be very valuable!!! you find great scores!!!
On things with electric heating elements like hair dryers, toasters, heaters, etc. I keep the elements out of them. I don't know of you can sell them or not but they have a high carbide content and carbide is pretty valuable.
Hey Ben why don't you take your flyer with you and hand them out when your out scrapping I think you can drum up a lot of business that way and cheers from Newfoundland Canada love watching you so stay safe out thier
you are doing my head in with all the stuff you leave behind. I understand why but I take most everything I can. Then again I don't think it's as good of picking here as it is there.
Was that gold heater toward the end plated or flashed, 😜 Haha. I was really happy for the type of response that you gave me on the previous vid. The only additional thing that I can think of to keep viewer on their toes and watch, is to take a 5 minute brake at any time in the vid to scrap it out. So they don't skip strait to the end every time. Maybe just have a random shot of you at the work bench scrapping out to see the CPU, then let them know before you do that. That you'd be back to street scrapping, after you do it. Unless another youtubers reads this and steals the idea, I'd imagine you'd be the 1st to do something like this. GREAT VIDEO BEN! THAT'S A LOT OF MICROWAVES!!!! The pink bike is not your type, lol!!
Something I forgot but wanted to say, What a beautiful and well kept city You have the good fortune to live in, How about a big tour sometime ? Maybe You could think of 5 or 6 scattered stops You need to make across town to make it pay somehow, I believe many would enjoy such if You'd consider it,God bless the U, S, A, and God bless Australia even though they don't know how to say aluminum ,,,,,,,,,,,ha,,,,,,,,,,,Best wishes again ,,,,,,,,,,,,,,Dee,,,,,,,,,,,,
Coke is great for taking rust away as well as vinegar but cleans all your tools over night and scrub off and new looking tools. Maybe you know this already but if not just an FYI.
Ben another good video, to funny u missed a couple cords I was trying to tell u but u didn't hear. Lol maybe u should think about a live video so we can help u spot things. Just suggestion
Electrical items do dry out, especially if you take a cover or two off and there's also aerosol electrical drying agents you can spray them with. No need to be so paranoid Ben lmao
So, how often do they put stuff out? Is it weekly, monthly...? Also, have you had anyone try and steal stuff from your van as you're out walking about? LOL Why would someone cut the cords and not worry about all the other stuff? Is it that copper is worth so much? Can someone get much copper from cords?
man if you lived in america you wouldn't need to worry about taking stuff with lotsa plastic cuz in most states you can just put the plastic out on the curb and the recycling trucks will carry it away for you.
Friend, please mind your handling of junked microwave ovens for they've got hazardous element that may cause an incurable lung disease. Kindly search more on the internet for more information.
I’ve never seen anyone leave there stuff out side like that never in my life have i seen something like this. Reason im saying this is i live in Washington si i don’t know were this is at
OR he can sell those rusty files to some knife makers and get more than scrap value for them without investing into knife-making equipment. What do you need at the bare minimum? A good adjustable belt sender and a kiln? That's right here is about a 1K in equipment.
I'm one of those people who's normally highly supportive anyone what the fuck are you doing out there I've been doing this for years and I can't believe it's that much difference price-wise in Australia and America but if you're going to do it do it right and do it a hundred percent you just keep passing by all this money it's driving me nuts I can't watch hasn't occurred to you can have the van mostly loaded already and I've only like to watching 15 minutes into the video very frustrating to watch and if you want to know what got me to comment cuz you took those crappy tires you got to take all that fucking rubber off that I would never take unless I got the less you got a machine and you left the bitching treadmill that's a Payday I look for those in the bottom of the van or on the side
Noice Finds Ben ! i cant wish you a Fine Weekend but we certainly had one ! Many Thx & Cheers !
Every video you can hear birds nice! Great info video!
Thanks for the journey Ben. I'm looking forward to seeing an Australian scrap yard in your next video.

for our worm farms we just bury a bathtub in the ground, throw in a hand full of worms some worm bedding and presto worms forever.

Love the vids keep them up
Scrapping and making money. Filming it and making money. Win. Win.

I wish some people make like this in lebanon
Hey Ben why don't you take your flyer with you and hand them out when your out scrapping I think you can drum up a lot of business that way and cheers from Newfoundland Canada love watching you so stay safe out thier
so weird to see hardly no trucks and driving on the right side ahhhh lol
Great video mate would love to get into it am in Melbourne to
At 42:22 , Tsk tsk missed the Captain America shield.Proto-Adamantium and highly sought-after by eccentric (rich) collectors :)
i wish i could fly over to help you out with all dat stufff!
Someone is rolling in their grave knowing those beautiful hand tools where left to rust and carelessly thrown away
If you soke rusty tools in vinegar it will remove the fust.
you are doing my head in with all the stuff you leave behind. I understand why but I take most everything I can. Then again I don't think it's as good of picking here as it is there.
I can't believe he left that pile of aluminum crutches.
i cut the cord of what i thought was a vhs player. turned out to be a vintage beta max. i'm just pretending it hasnt worked in years
Clay Chester I don't have anything to test it with anyway
Remove rust cheaply by soaaking in vinegar then clean w wire wheel or wire brushes
Great videos! New sub.

GREAT VIDEO BEN!
THAT'S A LOT OF MICROWAVES!!!!
The pink bike is not your type, lol!!
Love these street videos!
Anyone remember the name of that youtuber who liked old TVs? Skyline-something or other?
Very good Video i really like watching your Videos
Could you do a Video where you show what you have at Home and how you Sort it?

Washing soda & electrolysis has worked decently for me.
G'day Ben.
Hi Scott
What are the best things to get the best boards out of
Nice vid, but here in Pennsylvania, the scrapyard won't take microwaves or PC's.
Ben another good video, to funny u missed a couple cords I was trying to tell u but u didn't hear. Lol maybe u should think about a live video so we can help u spot things. Just suggestion
I talk to Ben (the tv) all the time. My fiancee looks at me like "WTF". She doesn't get it...
7:05 ben that old radio on the right has a copper transformer in it
are those wheels 10" ? they might be for a classic mini. Hard to tell. They might be worth reselling
Just a quick questions how many times have you replace the starter on the van I see that you shut it off and start it every time you get out
Never, it's a mercedes
@@eWasteBen I bet it was in poor condition though I know you have replaced it since this comment. ;D
Electrical items do dry out, especially if you take a cover or two off and there's also aerosol electrical drying agents you can spray them with. No need to be so paranoid Ben lmao
I need to know from refiners how much yield of palladium should come from 122.4 MLCC capacitor.
Imagine in that DVD player ( that you said was too light) is a $2000 mother bored it happened to me
Hey Ben. Can you please make a Video about that air conditioner at 47:30. Just curious to see what's in there. Any one else agree???
Yep, I will scrap it on video, just need to get through a lot of scrap first that's in the way.
Cheers mate. Can't wait! :)
You should get a little wagon to pull down the street
Dude, the toy car at 15:55 probably has a lead acid battery. Why pass it up?
also, why do you like microwaves so much? do you have to worry about the oil in the heaters?
With all of the reptile and such talk, you must also be familiar with Q.
don't think i know Q
I'm hungry too... Good night Ben
I see you always leave the remotes. They sell really well on ebay
Many electricals are ok after they have dried out.
If ur having trouble cutting ur cords get new snips
cool dude
34:10 you missed the cord from the grass trimmer !
There was also a nice pair of pliers (or similar) at 18:30
You could build a wall out of microwaves :D
Why so many heaters?
luv ya
So, how often do they put stuff out? Is it weekly, monthly...? Also, have you had anyone try and steal stuff from your van as you're out walking about? LOL Why would someone cut the cords and not worry about all the other stuff? Is it that copper is worth so much? Can someone get much copper from cords?
Yearly, if you follow the rounds you can do this for 6 months of the year
41:17 did u put the wood over a pc?:o
24:50 I think someones brother would have really liked them stereos..
Be careful sticking hands down in boxes could be broken glass on the bottom of box
man if you lived in america you wouldn't need to worry about taking stuff with lotsa plastic cuz in most states you can just put the plastic out on the curb and the recycling trucks will carry it away for you.
Where dose he get all his stuff.
Friend, please mind your handling of junked microwave ovens for they've got hazardous element that may cause an incurable lung disease. Kindly search more on the internet for more information.
Why do you Aussies throw out all those heaters ? I've had mine for years
And how much money in an individual microwave with cord?
Depends, but it's worth more if they left a few slices of last weeks pizza inside, bonus.
What is perception of scrapping in Aussie Land . I mean from non scrappers .
16:30 first time I see you take scrap-timber
you can sell a whole big barbeque for 100€.. and you leave 2 on the road..
This is rich.
28:35 Oztrail camping gear overlooked.
@ewaste Ben I've got a heap of mother and other boards how much do you pay for them or maybe we can trade something
My price list for commodities is here.. scrapforum.com.au/forum/scrapping-electronics/computers/12168
Get some gloves man when you work with waste.. specialy with rusted waste.
day two! YEET
In which city and county its this
Where u from dear?
How much money is there in a scrap pc like that?
as scrap, $10 max
Rusty tools can be fixed! Try electrolysis
Kyle Anderson or Coke it will eat anything
W
I’ve never seen anyone leave there stuff out side like that never in my life have i seen something like this. Reason im saying this is i live in Washington si i don’t know were this is at
You could make some knives from those rusty files
OR he can sell those rusty files to some knife makers and get more than scrap value for them without investing into knife-making equipment. What do you need at the bare minimum? A good adjustable belt sender and a kiln? That's right here is about a 1K in equipment.
I can't watch these, I get triggered by the amount of old computers
Take ALL THE TOOLS AND DO TOOL CHECK OUT VIDEO.
Dood
????? what is the SCRIBBLE writing for !
