printers are essentially throw away items at this point. some units are cheaper than the ink refills so it's more cost effective to buy an entirely new unit with it's fresh ink. A single item malfunctions in any way, same story.
Great video ben it might be light pickings but at least in your country you guys put it out for bin men to collect in uk it goes straight in to wheelbins no chance inless bins full keep doing more videos i like it when you show and explain what you get from each different item im trying to learn
Hard rubbish in Aus is completely different concept to us in the UK, we have to take our waste to the tip. Here you have to intercept before it goes to the tip ;)
Same here in my city in U.S. we don't do a hard rubbish day, though some small towns nearby still do one once a year. So sad to think how much good stuff goes to landfill unnecessarily.
Just wanted to say, no need to edit out you driving through 'empty streets' etc.Or make a seperate 2-hour "Director's Cut" of each video as we all enjoy you just driving around and talking :) #TheWhiteVanBrigade :)
Excellent Ben even though you didn't find heaps of stuff every thing you got was decent I miss the walk about when you are street scraping thank you Sir for sharing five stars
The trouble with living in a rural area is that street scrapping just isn't an option! Next time I bring some boards down to you Ben, I might give it a go if the timing is right! You know my van would hold a pretty decent haul!! 😁😁
Hi Ben! Thanks for posting the video! Love the street scrapping ones! Maybe a good theme could be Scrap to fill the gas tank!! Have a great day everyone!!
Another great street scrapping vid mate. I picked up a few bits today but nothing epic. A cheap brand LCD TV (I either repair them or resell or use the boards) and an Apple G4 Desktop. It was on the way to drop a vintage case to a customer in Brighton. In the UK, people have to take their hard waste to the dump/recycling centre so we don't have kerbside collections to rummage! :( I have to use selling and recycling platforms to source and collect my ewaste before people take it to the tip so an entirely different process! I always aim to repair or reuse over scrap but scrap too as the last resort. Keeps it all out of landfill :) Glad you're well mate and enjoying the regular uploads! :) Like the 'fridge is empty' and 'beers with the lads' challenges! Maybe under the current climate, do a 'energy/fuel companies are robbing bastards and have doubled my bills' challenge! 😂
Ben, even though those microwaves have been scrapped for the transformers, the Magnetrons still contain about 1/4 pound of copper. the round part underneath the aluminum fins is made of copper. You should know they're really easy to remove from the microwaves, since they have already been opened up on the street, just pop in your power drill and remove 4 screws. The Scrapyards near me have "caught on" to the electrical transformer. They always check if it's aluminum or copper, if it's aluminum, it's just scrap steel. A lot of microwaves these days have the aluminum wire transformers making the magnetron the most valuable part of the microwave.
You could do with a carry basket to fill up with cables and small items. Better this time round than last time street scrapping at least you got 2 desktop computers.
Dude...I can't believe you cut the game system cord's..why??..for the love of God 🤦..you get 50 cents for those ..yet could have listed them in your local market for free and got 60+ Dollars
I think it would be cool to do a day of street scraping in the morning, grabbing what you can through the day and then take it home and scrap it out and take it to the yard to get paid the same day maybe or the next day? Would be interesting to see if it would be equal to a "normal" jobs daily pay. Love your videos! Thanks for uploading!
I'm glad you're not being so fussy anymore just remember lockdown when there was nothing you couldn't even go out in the street other people are making money off the stuff you leave behind I'm glad. Just looking for PC
keep up the awesome content also if the scrap near the scrap yard is not taken one day you should just do a ton of runs just grabbing any scrap and seeing how much you can make
Those old stereos should have decent electronics in them, if needing more cash would have grabbed as well, at least they would be better than new screens etc.
3:10 - a microwave as new, never used. To the curb still in its original packaging. Someone has either purchased it then could not be bothered returning or exchanging it or someone has received it from someone else, going, " Jeez, thanks ! ", then, later, " Bugger this ", and ditched it.
hello sir, I'm your fan from Indonesia, and I'm just starting to try scrapping, it's really nice to see you having fun with all that stuff.. may I ask some for my first try, dear sir ben
Like what? You want to salvage a Video player? Or a dvd even blurays arent of interest to anyone due to streaming. A 30 year old fridge can be regassed and get new seals for the price of a new one. Have a look at poly prophets video he takes stuff to markets. Washing machine repair parts are expensive so yes you can fix them and then sell them for the price of parts you just bought. You have to spend time trouble shooting run it through all cycles to make sure it works ok. If you dont value your time and are happy to work for free then get out there and see how long it takes before youre snowed under and losing money. If a mower can be repaired under an hour there is a margin there (still have to take photos write adds answer enquiries wait around for someone to maybe turn up. There is no saving a waterlogged lcd tv. Ben has a working business plan thats profitable through trial and error. he knows what produces a steady and reliable wage.
I would save all that money in a Pepsi bottle and wait until the end of the year. Then deposit all that cash and hopefully, you might be able to buy an average-size house!
Could you do a street scrap video where you talk about the scrap value of some of the stuff you pick up. Just give rough estimates of scrap value on items. Like hey dvd that’s probably a dollar, alloy car wheel that’s probably $3 or whatever lol.
Please cord cutters, leave 4 or 5cm of cord, the electronics recyclers then could easily test the gear to see if it works. Cutting the cord right up flush against the case pretty much instantly assigns the gear to the scrap heap.
What if the electronic you just cut cord off still works and someone could have picked it up to use ? Someone who couldn’t afford the item new ? Do you watch things to give them a chance ? Maybe if you were taking the item too.
the figures all the lot man i collect them shylanders the round table top thing is a portal for all them little figures you left are collectable prices from around 7 quid to 12 each
I know you're specialising in scrap and electronics but you could've trebled your money with other stuff that was there..games in boxes,TV with remotes,Garden Tools,perfectly good wooden furniture..that can all be flipped quickly for a profit
Nerf in the thumbnail, from 7:38 have you been able to sell any that you previously collected, I know they take up a lot of room, but I always grab nerf, cheap or free as it always sells.
Hello Ben. Next theme you could make is how long does it take to street scrap to fill up the van with fuel. I have started separating clean steel and what you call Dirty Pressing steel. It sure does make a difference.
I get tickled when you get excited about getting a PC. Love these street scrapping videos.
Love the street scrapping videos , keep them coming
printers are essentially throw away items at this point. some units are cheaper than the ink refills so it's more cost effective to buy an entirely new unit with it's fresh ink. A single item malfunctions in any way, same story.
Yes. Costs more to fix a printer than to buy a new one.
I love street scrapping!!!! I like your method of madness!
Lots of Wire and Cables and 2 PC's and other Electrical/Electronic Gear/Stuff - You had Fun - we had Fun ! Many Cheers from us in QLD !!!!
Pcb's in the capacitor not the ballast usally the aluminium ones was atleast 1 aluminium capacitor in those lights
I really enjoy watching your our videos Ben.
had a good week myslf plenty of goodies but the best find i had was a brand new 40 inch blaupunkt telly worth £280
working perfectly
Great video ben it might be light pickings but at least in your country you guys put it out for bin men to collect in uk it goes straight in to wheelbins no chance inless bins full keep doing more videos i like it when you show and explain what you get from each different item im trying to learn

You should of got all the batteries in those exit signs
Oh yaw, CORD FOOD!!!!!!! (Yes) Really like your street scrapping.
Just wanted to say, no need to edit out you driving through 'empty streets' etc.Or make a seperate 2-hour "Director's Cut" of each video as we all enjoy you just driving around and talking :) #TheWhiteVanBrigade :)
Well said
True, I'd happily spend hours watching, the thrill of the chase and Ben's company is actually just as entertaining and exciting!!
those exist signs have a battery in them... and the big industrial light has a big transformer :D Project Shop FL dismantle them all the time
Excellent Ben even though you didn't find heaps of stuff every thing you got was decent I miss the walk about when you are street scraping thank you Sir for sharing five stars

A bunnings basket could be useful when rummaging through piles.
I watched your latest 2 last night and forgot to comment! bags of cords are bags of gold, love it!!
Hi Ben! Thanks for posting the video! Love the street scrapping ones! Maybe a good theme could be Scrap to fill the gas tank!! Have a great day everyone!!
Sounds great!
Do another scrap or starve episode or scrap for 🍺 😁. I loved those videos!
That was a good run Ben.
Yay it’s a Ben video, woohoo. It’s a Ben video guys !!
No 1 rule leave place cleaner than what you found it.

i love when you piuc something up that you dont really know what it is but you say oh thats one of those things lol
another great vid - I probably would have grabbed those exit signs for the batteries and those racing game controllers but that's just me
I like it better when you look for alectronics just going for the ride is cool 😎 👌
Great Video Ben Keep Bringing The Video's Dude 👍👍

Yeah, true, but he's pissed with what has already been taken out of it so he entirely boycotts it.
As, always, enjoyed 👍 👍
Gday Ben how are you doing pal nice to see more street scrapping videos hope you had a good day.
It was cool seeing you and Poly Prophet trading scraps. Cheers
Would have been better to see thier faces and hear the discussion a bit, not just watch the unload.
@@paulcoenen7918 ben and poly Prophet have shown their faces in videos. Just not that often. Maybe they don't show their faces for privacy concerns.
You could do with a carry basket to fill up with cables and small items. Better this time round than last time street scrapping at least you got 2 desktop computers.
why do you leave aluminum and scrap steel? with todays prices it would more than pay for your fuel
Dude...I can't believe you cut the game system cord's..why??..for the love of God 🤦..you get 50 cents for those ..yet could have listed them in your local market for free and got 60+ Dollars
This has given me ptsd. Such a good joblot to sell, completely agree bro
Lots of fun!!
no to trolley but a good size bag with handles that fit over your shoulders..keeps your hands free and easy to fill/empty
Ben why are you not taking the scrapped out microwaves, it's steel and it adds up.
It's always been a thing for me, even scrap steel pickers don't take them, they don't weigh much without the transformer
@@eWasteBen ye I understand what you mean. I normally take them also just to fill the trailer and there's still minimum 10kg without transformer.
I think it would be cool to do a day of street scraping in the morning, grabbing what you can through the day and then take it home and scrap it out and take it to the yard to get paid the same day maybe or the next day?

Poly Prophet vids do that
@@horacepinker6578 Thank you very much! I checked out a few of his videos and they're fun as well. Thank you for the recommendation!
I love this job
I'm glad you're not being so fussy anymore just remember lockdown when there was nothing you couldn't even go out in the street other people are making money off the stuff you leave behind I'm glad. Just looking for PC
8:23 bag of delicious shoes!
12:03 boxes of amazing shoes!
16:49 boots
24:00 shoe and boots in boxes

Man all the goodies you leave behind
i want all the gaming stuff.............cuts skylander base cored then cuts wii mote charger lmfaoooooooooo
We were screaming NO!
@@bellaportaustralia ikr take the bloody box.
I noticed the Diablo pc game, those sell for decent money. Great scrape run. Thanks
Yes but once you associate the code to your account then all it is is just paper
All the exit signs that you left, they have batteries in them.
But not the PB ones...
Have you though about putting a weeley bin in your truck to throw all the wire you plck up while street scraping love the veidos 👍
Great video
You said you wanted the wii stuff but next you destroy half of it by cutting the wires off you should of just taken the box 👍

EXCELENTE ! ! CIRUJA FOUR EVER ! ! SALUDOS DESDE ARGENTINA 🇦🇷✌️🇦🇷✌️🇦🇷
Do you not bring a fan?
The motors inside contain an average of 200 g of copper.
Well done Ben
hello sir, I'm your fan from Indonesia, and I'm just starting to try scrapping, it's really nice to see you having fun with all that stuff.. may I ask some for my first try, dear sir ben
If not justly with pick ups through the week you should try one day going out to see what there is out may have better luck
Another cord cutter ruining stuff that can be fixed
That's it. Not only could be fixed but also in good working order. But " another " being the operative word. Just one of many.

👍the little steering wheels in the Wi pile were accessories for it👍
Morning from Carlisle Cumbria England Monday 1st August 08.29am, people forget to take the hard drive out of the computer
Hi, I have got quite a lot of cords, cut from appliances. What do I do with them? Where do I sell them?
In England we have some charities projects collect empty printers ink, as they can cash them in & raise money for the different charities " Hospice "
I would save all that money in a Pepsi bottle and wait until the end of the year. Then deposit all that cash and hopefully, you might be able to buy an average-size house!
DUDE --------- You should take those Televisions, They have a PCB board in them you can remove with Gold...
I can't believe on that refrigerator that they took the compressor, but not the bare copper tubing!! 😂
hurray thank you so much :)
love it
Could you do a street scrap video where you talk about the scrap value of some of the stuff you pick up. Just give rough estimates of scrap value on items. Like hey dvd that’s probably a dollar, alloy car wheel that’s probably $3 or whatever lol.
Always jealous of how much street scrap you have there in Melbourne. Slim pickings in Adelaide these days.♻️✌
Please cord cutters, leave 4 or 5cm of cord, the electronics recyclers then could easily test the gear to see if it works. Cutting the cord right up flush against the case pretty much instantly assigns the gear to the scrap heap.
hey ben i am a big fan of yours i would like to know what you do with all that trash in the house??😁
You're doing great today find lots of e-waste items and cords
What if the electronic you just cut cord off still works and someone could have picked it up to use ? Someone who couldn’t afford the item new ? Do you watch things to give them a chance ? Maybe if you were taking the item too.
the figures all the lot man i collect them shylanders the round table top thing is a portal for all them little figures you left are collectable prices from around 7 quid to 12 each
I know you're specialising in scrap and electronics but you could've trebled your money with other stuff that was there..games in boxes,TV with remotes,Garden Tools,perfectly good wooden furniture..that can all be flipped quickly for a profit
You did well, Ben!
All right out on the streets again AND a PC right out of the gate. Awesome.
Those ovens, 5 bucks scrap value as is, laundry machines, 10 bucks. They are heavy.
Nerf in the thumbnail, from 7:38 have you been able to sell any that you previously collected, I know they take up a lot of room, but I always grab nerf, cheap or free as it always sells.
Hi, what do you do with the Christmas lights? Was under the impression that the scrapyards didn't take them.
i cant even believe people throw things like that wow
crazy weee waste in the uk where i work goldfish bowl monitors are a no no they cost me £30+ so about 50asd to get rid of
Throughout the whole video you just kept on and on about the 2 PC's. Your the only person I know who gets so excited over a few old junky pc's.
Very very nice video
You forgot to pickup the monitor from the last stop.
nice steam punk dials box
Hi Ben. Great job. Please take care and stay safe. Talk to you later my friend. 👍👍❤️❤️
Here he is again,good old e waste Ben
👏👏👏
20:27, who throws out a Diablo 3 Collector's Edition? Should've taken a gander, maybe it had everything inside it... easy $100
How do you Strip your wire
You should use scrapped out pcs/microwaves and scrap steel
you missed a Panasonic breadmaker at 7:37 that thing can sell for least 60 if still works.
Hello Ben.
Next theme you could make is how long does it take to street scrap to fill up the van with fuel.
I have started separating clean steel and what you call Dirty Pressing steel. It sure does make a difference.
Old movies with original packaging can we worth good money
Theme idea fill gas tank and dinner just an idea
Microwave video sir, like to see you scrap some
mate always look in old pen tins collect nibs most are titanium
Not a bad day actually. Lots of cord food and some ewaste - can't complain about that.
Computers Classico excelente
The Nintendo box had more value if sold online it had everything there jesus
