Id love to come visit this junkyard and watch that beast of a shredder. Love how the cars are ripped apart by the excavator first. I've always been fascinated by the crushing and shredding.
@twin98s You think ya clever? Lol, sorry, you dont have a clue. I am talking big picture here peon, ok? That car still had glass, copper wiring, fabrics and plastic, all that is contaminants. SOME places separate these things out, but like the building demolition companies, but ONLY if it is "economically viable". The key to recycling is reducing incidence. Reduce the throw away attitude & repair, reuse. Design well and then maintain. Fast methods of "recycling" are BULLSHIT.
Shredding that Chevy daully was stupid without removing good parts like the rearend, motor for good cores. No wonder theres no parts for older pickups in the country anymore.
In most places, it's not worth the time and effort to take parts off an obsolete vehicle, in the hopes that one of the ten people in the US that are still driving an antiquated POS will need it. And then, the best part, is they will try and Jew you down on the price. At my yard, I don't sell a single part. I have vehicles that are only a couple years old. They go right into the baler.
+Sho'Nuff Says ᶠᶸᶜᵏᵧₒᵤ LeRoy! ™ First of all they arnt obsolete, thats all I drive is the older vehicles cause the new ones are shitty made. And I dont dew a price down if its in reason and I always pull my own parts as I love u pull it yards. The new front wheel drive cars are made to crush and bale, not the older 50s, 60s, 70s vintage. ID say it good scrap medal prices went to shit so will be less baling going on. Theres still more money in parts than scrap but most people I know how they are and they wreck it for the good people.
Jesse Syfie Being in the business, I can tell you, there are more and more "salvage yards" going out of business every year. Within the next 20 years, I doubt there will be too many left. Cars now-a-days are electronic. Less and less parts are going to be able to be salvaged unless you have an engineering degree from MIT, and thats what the dealers want so you have to buy new from them.
+Sho'Nuff Says ᶠᶸᶜᵏᵧₒᵤ LeRoy! ™ I am sure on salvage yards going out of business. All the electronic crap on the new cars and pickups is totally junk in my book, they give way more problems and way to expensive to fix. And yep thats there reason so u keep buying new vehicles from the dealers. The older vehicles were made to last and give less problems and way less electronics. I have my stock pile of chevy engine cores, trannys, axles, etc. I have help crush cars at a scrap yard before and see stuff go as u can only save so much. I just buy what I can and try not to not think about the rest. There are guys out there that have horded stuff up but they dont like to sell any of it either. Look at see how high the vehicles sold at the Lambrecht chevy auction in Pierce Nebraska, the scrap guy maybe got half dozen vehicles out of 500 at the most. The prices were rediculous there. So I think anything old and in decent shape could be advertised on the internet for sale as people are looking for things that u cant buy new even as reproduction items. People think u can buy evenything new but u cant. Once the older stuff is gone and will be forever, people see my stuff and think its for sale but it isn't, and wont be over my dead body. And I know guys just like me and there will be less and less parts as we keep going into the future. So I keep watching for stuff I may use.
looks like nearly dirty recycling. clean up!!! shred as whole, not use big machine to squash, you could be spilling oil or Antifreeze, where is such capture system??!!

Good job, thanks for sharing natural activity of life video
I have see a lot of shredding vids but this is one of the best
I had "Worthless", from "The Brave Little Toaster", playing in my mind, while watching this.
It looks like a T. Rex ripping apart a smaller dinosaur. Awesome!
Got to be the messiest yard I've seen so far
good luck tryin to find a part in the future
You should be using an ssi unit!!!!!!
what was this recorded with a shity flip phone
Dream job
Would you sell some car tags/license plates? I'm wanting several to do projects with
Um... Why not use the parts for a different car? Scrap what is bad but reuse what is good.
Ok coming to cash out
aint the right shredder for the job...... shouldnt have to waste time tearing it apart(as fun as it may be) first to then feed it in.....
would love to see you on a excavator and do that to some of your cars you flatten. Not put it in a shredder but destroy the car with an excavator. :)
Looks like a half-arsed cowboy operation.
I'd like to see some of today's ugly-ass cars thrown in there
Ain't that a bitch? God forbid someone has a different opinion than yours. Fucking TH-cam comments.
He needs an ssi "monster" shredder... Lol
This yard could a better i think clear the metal to sold sooner clearing the yard is important from a safety point . Look better too
Machines rule:OK?
Never thought frag machine was as small as that.
Meyself m Facximated with ihdustry
making more mess than its worth, crushing cars is easier
EXTREMELY polluting method of recycling, not solving ANY problems, you are making MORE.

Glad you got rid of that stupid 1970s Chevy.
