- Trash picking today was short but still ok for a bit of scrap e-waste.
Hard rubbish pickers are multiplying it seems, more & more every week but still enough junk out there for everyone to get a taste.
Keep scrapping & Have fun!

Perfectly good frypan, resell for $5.00. Cord value 10c. I hate cord cutters.
I despise when people cut cords off stuff that most likely works (iron at 1 38)
That last pile, was a pile that kept giving and giving!!!!
You got 2 PC'S today and you seemed just as happy as if you had 8!!! Good job Mate!!!
Cheers!!!!
And Have a GREAT Day!!!!
can you do a video on processing all your wheelie bins of cable and processing all the stuff you find from scrapping it would be a really cool video to do
he's already done it look back at his videos
@@alexanderplatz3568 I know I want him to do another one
I'm working on a new series, "Scrap Sessions from Street Scrap"
It'll be random scrapping of the things I got including cleaning up wire and looking at thing to sell or keep.
@@eWasteBen ok sounds great I can't wait to see those videos.
EwasteBen: ah bloody chord cutters.
Also EwasteBen: *proceeds to clip ever chord he can get his grubby paws on! 😂😂
Bobby Benfield, it is spelled “CORD”

So many shoes right in the beginning! Wish I could have taken them all! 0:01
you must have a lot of feet
Glad to see you at least grab the new cassette. I am a Music Collector and everytime I see you look over the cassettes, and cds my heart breaks a little. Not to many area here in the US that has clean up days. But when there is one. scrapers come from miles to hit it up.
picked up two stools looked exactly the same a few months back sold em for 60 $ didn't even have them up for sale more then a week.
Very good.
what about the beds in the first stop that you made, weren't they recyclable? It looks like an episode of hourders. And cutting cords is really disturbing, Because it could work.
It might but you get far to much stuff if you try to collect it all , I can often furnish an entire four bedroom house in a good month,with good quality antiques ,not ikea crap,lol
Yaaaaa. Love your videos. A fan from Montana
Greetings 🇺🇸Ben. U found some amazing treasures. I luv ur channel. PLEASE PLEASE don't stop making videos. B safe,healthy &blessed
Treasures indeed!
I wish my area in the USA did street rubbish like you have there.
You would never find that kind of stuff in the garbage in the USA...we recycle.
Jennifer Garfield I found a pc two weeks ago when I was on a gold/silver buy. I get scrap all the time, but I have to hunt for it.
And no the USA does not recycle...we are one of the worse in the world for 1st world country’s.
@@jennifergarfield2723 that is extremely not true
Those are evictions
I’m surprised that you don’t tie downs Rollie bin for all the wire and small bits you pick up. Might make the muck out a bit easier
No it takes up vaulable space
WNY Trash Trucks it would be the exact opposite. Strap down a bin against the passenger seat and all the wire, modems, cd roms, mice, and other small bits would go in easy enough leaving room for PCs, motors, chairs, or whatever else is larger.
Not a big bin, a trash/recycle one in the 60-90 gallon (250L-350L) size.
@@ursamines7643 you do know those are huge right and he has had a bin in there the one time you can barley even reach into use it.
Yes I know how big they are. Hell even a standard kitchen trash bin would be useful for all the cords he gets.
28:24 "Thank you. Oh, don't know why I'm saying thank you" Literally pissed myself! Lolx10.
Hi Ben like your vids ,you get a lot of ewaste and other good stuff ,Shame I don't live in Australia 🇦🇺 mate ,am in sunny old England lol,I scrap myself an I never see people putting out so much as you find everyday ,I get a lot of washing machines An microwaves an compressors lol
Great video.
Love watching thrifting in action! Can’t wait for Melbourne to open up again. Looking for furniture myself to revamp 😊 stay safe buddy
How does this work? Why people leave their unused stuff outside? Im from Europe.
9:41 there is usually a lead acid battery in the kid scooters
Reverend TFG yeah it is easy for us to be an armchair commander
it would be cool if you did a challenge or something regarding the amount of irons you find
i find myself counting them as you cut the cords
Might be something to have a bit of fun with over a few weeks.
why did you not take the keyboard at 10:00 here? Last time you took the keyboard for silver recovery but not this time :/
Is this a special rubbish day? Or is it like this every week. I noticed there did not seem to be any food waste or perishables. In the States we periodically have "big dump" day. That's what this looks like.
Someone says that inside the vacuum cleaners there is a lot of copper
I used to find so many good things in dumps then sell it on marketplace. The most me and my dad found in one dump was $633 worth of stuff (collectable dolls). We probably averaged $200 an hour pre covid driving round finding stuff, post covid $150 then eventually $100, and now zero. everyone is throwing out less good stuff likely due to no personal savings so they are buying less new stuff, and throwing out less old stuff.
No sense in leaving a little taste for others when you cut the cords off of everything? Most of those irons and radios, etc. probably still worked. That stuff sells on FB Marketplace, etc. Just saying???
You consistantly cut a 25c cord off $25-$100 items--you're killing me.
I am curious how much that was worth vs time spent vs fuel spent
Our Indian sardarji carrying wardrobe, ,,,,😍
Does that coffee stay there or dis you super glue it! Lol keep up the great videos. My kids mimic you" it's a p.c.!"
I think it is because they dont2have pot holes. I was always wondering how he could trust to put anything there and not have it spill everywhere
I've lost a couple at sharp corners, my next van will have cup holders :)
For those that don’t live in Melbourne. The reason that the scrappers roll out in force in these areas is that there are only a small handful of local council areas that have a “hard waste collection” the rest of Melbourne have adopted the “booked pickup” model. Councils save a fortune by only paying waste collection companies to collect booked pick ups vs picking up an entire suburb worth of trash, Not everyone will book 1pickup a year, but if the whole street did it then others just join in.
I live north east of Melb, my council saves on average $320,000 to $370,000 per year booked pick up vs free for all.
Also given the fact that most households would put out more than the allowed amount (2 cubic meters) and putting things out like paper, books, and cardboard that should be recycled through the normal bin system. A perfect example can be seen @04:10
Just remember that local government is NOT about serving the community, it is ALL about money.
...in case anyone cares 😎😎
Thanks for sharing your experience with us Ben
From someone who is not from Australia,,, how does that work?
Do you just put your trash out on the pavement for random scrappers to have a look and on monday morning a garbagetruck comes and take the rest away?
Circuit boards on the printers. Steel in the irons. More good scrap left than scrapped!
Too much left over plastic with those printers
I've been scrapping since 1985, lmao when I go out basically anything that's got even 25% steel on it goes into the trailer, seems as though u do have a great amount to go through,u said once every six months it's like this for you?
Your pile of cords on this street scrap was tremendous, good for the cash flow. Thanks Ben
How do you find out when the hard rubbish days are on?
on facebook page: melbourne hard rubbish
My town used to do this but they stopped due to people making huge messes. If everyone was like you it would be better.
why you dont take the antennas for brass??
I think taking the rubber tub around to put all the stuff in could be quite efficient
Woo hoo my favourite video love it
Unfortunately my local e waste dumps been closed due to the doors being broke which sucks cuz I get some nice stuff from there but seeing you get some good finds makes me feel a bit better
What are you using the cable for?
it is amazing that you have so much to pick thru...here in my town, there is nothing much at all....you do a great job of teaching us what to look for and then how to take apart....thanks Ben....when is your next vacay? also where to this time?
Hi Ben... I'm just interested what was that pc that you take? I mean the first one... It looks like a gaming pc with a good graphics card... You say 2 slot cards, but actualy it was only one big VideoCard.. I thing that is a nice configuration.. Check it before you scrap it out.. Sorry for my bad English... Im vrom faaar faaar away... Bulgaria. :)
Awsome video bro keep scrapping
Please let us know how you went with the Omega watch that you found the other day.
Nice collection of ewaste Ben.
So why does every house in jive neighborhoods have a giant trash pile out front it’s very strange? Does it get picked up weekly or just stay there?
This is part of a "community cleanup", like we would call it in the United States. This happens every six months or once a year. In the US we have to take it to a central location to be disposed of. In Australia, the city will pick it up at the curb.
That's it, but now many areas have booked pick ups instead of everyone at one time, so there's less of these areas left.
@@eWasteBen I wish you lived in the USA - I have a couple of TV's and an old Laptop waiting in my garage for the "junk man" to come and pick up. Around here we periodically get fliers on our door for people who are picking up old electronics, appliances, etc. They do the same thing you do with these items.
What an iodate who cuts the cords off everything that most probably still works.
wait come newcastle it worst what about new teen moving out home got no money buy stuff go look on street start out find no cable on anything what be $0.01 cent a cable. got super lucky find any item up here with cable most that pee me off logitech speakers system as can't buy control box arrrr me.
...he cares just about the fucking scrap metal :/
Wish we still had bulk waste - the thrill of discovery!!
Why you have not any box for cables?
sweet catches 👍👍👍😀👍👍👍
Making sure nobody can use anything by cutting cords off of everything. that's pretty damn sad to do that
No odys likely coming,before the trash man & besides if someone wants it ,they can patch on a spare cord in two seconds
Great video Ben that's a lot vintage PC stuff I'll keep it too keep up the good work Dude God Bless you and Family 🤠👍👍.
Não entendo porque ele corta todos os fios das coisas coloca todo a perder
isso me dá é raiva, pq essas coisas na rua não vão lixo, mas as pessoas deixam pra quem precisa, pois lá não são todos ricos, né?
daí chega esse cara, que é tudo menos pobre, e sai cortando inutilizando um monte de coisa que outras pessoas que realmente precisam, poderiam usar
@@Piskaokudivagarinho sim e verdade
you cut the cords off of everything? those appliances could still work & be worth more....
This idiot is a scrapper, not a saver!
omg he make me mad , cut cut his miss a lot things
Great video Ben, thanks
Somebody's using my line... have fun. I say that instead of have a nice day because what if somebody doesn't want to have a nice one.
P.S. wave hi to Olivia Newton John if you see her, she lives near Melbourne
You have a good dumpster diving video
Always a pleasure to kick back and watch you get out there and do your bit for the environment and also some quick cash.
I have been thoroughly enjoying pulling trash apart in my shed and making some extra cash up here in The Illawarra (Wollongong).
Since watching you for the past couple of years I have learnt a lot and I believe by all the comments made by others all over the world you have help many people out with teaching as you go.
All the best and keep scrapping. I might put a video on one day with me just scrapping out some stuff.
Ps. How is the garage going and will you do another scrap Marathon with your garage?
Cheers
OMFG!! that Elna sewing machine they sell for $400 upwards I'm glad you picked it up
What city were you in?
what do you do with these things you take in the trash ?.
Sell IT??
sell the parts ?! I wonder why I never thought of that ?!
@@niraldodasilvalima1702 xD
Vaccum has a good cooper eletric motor ...
Probably copper plated aluminum wire in the vacuum motor.
very first place you stopped, you left a orange/yellow utility power cord
I must say. I have learnt alot about so much from you. enjoy watching you scrap around the street and scrapping out things. TY for sharing your videos with us so we all can learn. : )
36:07 frustrating to watch, toss in the box?
Do they not pay for lower grade shred steel in Australia? Seems like u consistently leave hundreds behind? Presently shred steel ( dirty steel) is 275$ Canadian $ per ton, don't take long to collect 1000 lbs for a sweet 140$, u just need a small trailer
He's a cord cutter, weird breed of human.
@@bigteddy66 I stand corrected all summer long it was closer to $360
Per ton lol,for garbage shred,baking was over $400, lol, tell me about it, those cords might add $20-25$ a day to my first load but the other $200 plus is just steel,avg 3 ton weekly
@@andymilic4093 yes and a lot of stuff is usable until he cuts the cords off them, why get so excited about an out of date laptop that you can do very little with.
No More PCs being scrapped here! People donate them typically. Good to see you out there. Do a live stream for us!
Great video as always 👍🐓🐓🐓🐓
Am I the only one who shakes their head each time Ben leaves keyboards on the ground, cuts the phone cords instead taking the connector bit with the gold pins, and does not check the printers for the printer cartridges.
It's because the things you mention there don't have much value, the gold pins on phones are worthless, costs more to recover than gold.
eWaste Ben you have mentioned before you don’t like messing with harsh chemicals, I have found that if you mix vinegar and hydrogen peroxide (peracetic acid) it will take care of the pins. It works even better if you use a crockpot on high heat. I could do a video on it if you would like. It also works on gold fingers and the like.
What does he do with all those cords?
Why do you never take the extension cords?
hi, i need cordless drill and screws driver, if found any please.
why you only get electrical wire
Where is this place sir
Love the sounds of all the birds.
me & mate called left over boys because time go sunday night we just get leftover yep there so many doing these day hard find anything. that very nice pc got usb 3.1 and usb 3.0. wish leave 5 cm cable so put new one on hard pull these apart fix.
ben, why are u picking up phones and modem? they are 95% plastic by weight
Do you scrap ac units in Melbourne
U know there is copper in the boxs that the cord is attached that plugs into the wall and some brass
He don't know, inside electronics, always have gold . . .
Nice job
amazing for such a short vid! 😊 hope you get down it fast and make profit!
enjoy your takeout!
ben that pc have good parts? motherboard? processor? graphics?
I haven't looked yet but yeah, I think it's a good one.
why you dont show the pc whats inside
30:09 is that a motor bike
I really enjoy watching your videos and look forward to many more... Great Work.
Pra qer vc corta os cabo da coisa serve pra outra pessoa usar
