That Golf only had 65k miles on it and had a valid MOT! MOT history shows the last owned didn't really care about it, sadly. Amazing what people throw away; such a wasteful society. Good video tho showing how the process should be done with the right equipment. Your crane operator definitely knows how to get the job done!
REMEMBER THE 10 year RULE.It is ILLEGAL to scrap a car UNDER 10 years old UNLESS it is a WRITE OFF. This law exists to stop the slaughter of perfectly good cars being scrapped prematurely which is a wicked waste & is BAD for the enviorment.SMITHYSVILLE is campaigning for the non destructive recycling of end of life vehicles so EVERYTHING is SALVAGED & only the empty body is crushed.0000 must go into landfill.With the coming of Hybrid & Electric vehicles these MUST be DESIGNED & Built so they can be Remanafactured & recycled non destructively & should be kept out of traditional scrapyards as they are too technically advanced to be treated in this way. Instead the makers that made them in the first place should buy back the vehicles the made & be required by law to set up DECONSTRUCTION LINES so the end of life vehicles are deconstructed on the same lines by the same machines which have been reversed to "DECONSTRUCTION MODE" This is how the future should be.
That Golf looked very clean indeed, even underneath. With that mileage and 11 months MOT, it would easily have sold for £800 to £1000 on Ebay or Gumtree if it had been mechanically sound, and made a nice car for someone.
I’m one of those sad-o’s who wonder around places like this just to have a look at the scrap piles. You’d be surprised what places like this just crush or throw away.... but that proves how much can be made in the crusher compared to trying to sell stuff on
You’re a great presenter mate and very informative as to how a modern day vehicle scrap yard works👍 I see the Golf has been CoD’d which is always done by an ATF
Amazing. Only thing is I see in Japan EVERY small screw and piece has to be recycled. Here I see it’s just ripped out and dumped on piles. Must be tons of copper u can salvage
There is STILL to much wastage Why are light fittings not being removed? This should be a legal requirement Why are engines not being removed non destructively so they can be salvaged? The way it should be done is that it must be made a legal requirement for ALL cars to be stripped out completely & all parts removed INTACT & UNDAMAGED so they can be reused.ALL SEATING MUST BE REMOVED so it can be reused or if not put into a skip so it can be disposed of appropiately. ALL RADIOS ETC must be removed so they can be either reused or sent for electrical waste processing as the law requires. The only thing that should go to the crusher is the empty body which has been stripped of everything non metal so absolutely NOTHING is wasted. Why is this not happening?
@@ANDREWLEONARDSMITH Me being from latin america also see this as a lot of waste, but what are you describing is too expensive, in your country the salaries are too high for doing that. And if they no try to salvage more thing is maybe there is no market for it, to much trouble and few people looking for used part. Also your safety and environmental regulations limit the options. The world is a crazy place, a lot of thing dont make sense. But your right, we have to try to make thing in a better way.
Found your channel a few hours ago and just watched every video back to back. Amazing content! I’m hooked. Keep them up! You’ll have a massive channel before you know it
£220 for the VW. How do you make that money back? The baled car, the engine, wheels, wiring loom etc...how much are those individual parts worth approximately?
Good content pal, I own Baxenden Car Breakers LTD up north in Hyndburn we are more of car breakers than a scrapyard but still have the scrap handler and scrap our own vehicles only, we have always thought of getting into the scrap side more, but it's the money for the machines, but we are growing fast, just bought 4 new autopstenhoj ramps for the stripping side and looking at stripping down 4 cars a day for parts, currently have 31k items on eBay, but the videos is a great idea for publicity! Would love to get some ideas from yourselves how to move forward.
Good video mate I’m from Manchester I worked at ij Kayes scrap metal we drain the fuel well different we just had a 25 litre drum just pop the tanks with a pick axe rip the engines straight out with a fuches grab😂
Best video so far mate, makes me think about doing the same thing in my job but I’ve been blagging it for about 5 years now so wouldn’t be very informative
The car only had 66k on the clock. Mot expired11 December 2021 Repair as soon as possible (minor defects):Nearside Front Outer Track rod end ball joint dust cover damaged or deteriorated, but preventing the ingress of dirt (2.1.3 (g) (i Could have easily been sorted What a total and utter waste
just wondering how the airbags are detonated and what happens with the shocks? also where does all the scrap go once it leaves your yard? sorry for all the questions!
Hiya Henry very interested in what you do on channel saw you on Asheville 1st. When you drain fuel from cars can it be reused around your yard or sold for recycling???

Bet the engine stripper guy would win arcade grabbers every time 😄
😂
That VW Golf looked to be in perfectly good condition

If you were looking for parts for these cars they wouldn't be too cheap...pure waste !!!!
Love this content. Would be interesting to see more of the yard in action in more detail, and a wonder through your stock. Any rare cars?
Definitely not his first go in that grab!
Great content 👍🏼
The relaxing beach chill music whilst a golf is getting torn apart is brilliant (8:55)
The way he rips the engine out is pure class....such skill 👌🏻
Very interesting.Poor old golf it didnt look that bad bodywork wise.x
great seeing this on my feed , i used to work for upullit in scotland but left due to bullying unfortunately. i did enjoy my job depolluting cars
Awesome always wanted to run my own yard your a luck young man pal inherit that in time to come.
Hahaha We would drive that car in Serbia like it's new ! We are scrapping cars after 40 years🤣🤣
The golf looked in good condition and was MOT’d till December 2021, wonder what caused the owner to scrap it?
Only just had over 60k on the clock as well
@@Epic_RC_Time
I know !
New set of tyres, brakes and a few other bits and that would have been a very tidy car for very little money.
Just subbed and i love this shit, geeza going about his life sharing knowledge and entrepreneurial ideas. Gotta rate it.
Very good the presentation. Thanks for keeping the last part. Keep it up.
Well done young man. Wish you success
Well done very interesting best of luck with everything 👍👍
See him take the engine and dash out off that with the grab amazing 👏 👌 👍
That's a clean car to be getting crushed. What was wrong with it?
Great video!, hope you get lots of subscribers as you deserve it 👊
I appreciate that mate, fingers crossed

I'm surprised cars get this far without the body work and doors being resold for parts??
I've worked in a scrap yard 17 years nice to see how another yard works
You’re a great presenter mate and very informative as to how a modern day vehicle scrap yard works👍 I see the Golf has been CoD’d which is always done by an ATF
Good content lad that’s the best yard I’ve seen👌. it would be cool if you could do a video on what cars you commonly export?
Just came across your content. Absolutely spot on. Natural. Man who knows his Buisness from bottom to top. Big things too come lad. Boom 💥
Best vid ive seen about a scrapyard well done mate can we have lots more please thankyou.
thank you mate, that's the plan!!
@@HenryArnold8 Cant wait bud thanks again.
That Golf only had 65k miles on it and only needed new brakes for the adiseries and a few other little bits for the MOT.
Such a waste !
Interesting to see the workings of your yard !!! Nice
On of the best channels out there 100% deserves more subs
Loving these scrap videos pal you need to get your self up NORTH 👍🏻👍🏻
Working on it !
Remember my parents having a brand new Mk4 golf now most of them are going to scrap, time flys!
Amazing. Only thing is I see in Japan EVERY small screw and piece has to be recycled. Here I see it’s just ripped out and dumped on piles. Must be tons of copper u can salvage
Great video, I suppose salvaging parts and storing for resale would cost more in long run? Scrap it and on to the next one.

Surprised you guys don't do something with the windscreen and window glass!
great video though
Great informal video. Why would anyone scrap a car that got nearly 12 months ticket on it though? It only passed it’s MOT test 11/12/20 that Golf!!
Good vlog mate, just a heads up, dont jump off wagons! i know i used to do it and now got fubared knees lol.

Hey mate What happens to the fuel when a car is depolluted ? Do you separate petrol and diesel and re sell the fuel
£220 for the VW.
How do you make that money back?
The baled car, the engine, wheels, wiring loom etc...how much are those individual parts worth approximately?
Fantastic video keep um coming 👍👍👍

Less talkie, more crushie.
Be interested too find out more about the exporting .the future once they been exported
Never. Seen an engine come out that quick
Iv seen the ones that hold the sides of the car
We used to burn the out years ago
2:02 Amasing Money WIN💎 th-cam.com/video/ZUWqeVjPwAM/w-d-xo.html
Cutting the engine mounts with a torch? Always seemed a more effective and cleaner way but needs more man power.
Good content this,mad skillz on that grab

Enciroment agency would finish us if we did that 😂
Gaffa probably crushed bodies in boots for extra cash too😆
@@HenryArnold8 money makes the world go round trust me especially scrap money😉😂
Keep up with the good work mate from Essex oi oi 😂😌🖐
VW looked straight. Good panels and lights....must break your soul seeing good parts being destroyed
You’re gunna blow I guarantee lad class vids
Thankyou Ed, appreciate it
Best video so far mate, makes me think about doing the same thing in my job but I’ve been blagging it for about 5 years now so wouldn’t be very informative
You should get a mic for when your walking around the yard so we can hear u better. Keep up the good vids 🔥🔥
Yeah man on it
Top man, top content as usual. Ace car breakers 🔜🔛🔝💯
nice video dude, good to know how vehicles get scrapped.
Great video pal
Very interesting
Great vids bro, just subbed
Why do you destroy the Volkswagen Golf, this car was in good condition
Need more metal
Crazy what some people scrap half of the cars look proper decent and I bet they still have loads of life left in them
Nice content bro! Keep it up this yt channel will achieve great things

Could have easily been sorted
What a total and utter waste
😎I will deffo watch more of this
That guy got the engine out quickly
young guy doing well for himself and working hard = whats not to like?
cool vid bud, how do you decide if a car is suitable for export?
Thank you.
GREAT video! What's the most expensive car or machinery you've scrapped and also exported?
nice video mate x we just done a video saving one from the crusher
What do yall do with the car tags/license plates? I'm wanting a few to make things with
Just got yourself a new subscriber!! ❤️
You should do a price of how much you buy the car for and get for it at the end once its crushed
Is there any times you may save one? 😢 I just keep hoping mine was saved…some how
My view is this that Golf next year would of come under classic insurance
just wondering how the airbags are detonated and what happens with the shocks? also where does all the scrap go once it leaves your yard? sorry for all the questions!
What makes a car good for export?
So is it your old mans company you've taken over?
guessing he works along side him, seems a good lad
Hiya Henry very interested in what you do on channel saw you on Asheville 1st. When you drain fuel from cars can it be reused around your yard or sold for recycling???
Good job for getting rid of dead bodies
Nice, what do you guys do with the car cubes?
Good vidoe
