Huge $14000 Payout - eWaste Sale Day

[@bren70ssss94]

Well done , you earned every penny 😊

[@dr.a006]

Hard work. Satisfying it pays off for you. It’s a never ending eWaste stream for you, Ben!

[@lucdaigle2394]

Based on the RAM cards, average gold content could be quite high 1.5 to 3.75 gm / kilogram. Which suggests your 186 kgs of RAM has somewhere between $27,000 to $67,750 contained gold. That's not including the rest of your circuit boards and trashed computers. I would seriously be looking at setting up a mini gold extraction system, you have the volume of materials to pay for a set up.

[@jameschapman7996]

i process this my self lol hes loosening thousands of dollars per bin its like 260 bucks for a cheap setup to recover gold from these and he would be tripling is investment per bin

[@dietersoegemeier139]

Hi Ben. Dieter here in Brisbane, now 2 and a half years in to our recycle business, we are still working at getting more clients. We went fulltime 2 months ago but still finding it hard to make ends meet. Prices here are not as good as you have in Melbourne. Wearenowin theprocess of getting our e-waste recycle certification ISO 5377. so we can get into the government circles as it is very competitive and closed shop here in Queensland, no certification no product. As they want to keep there finger on where all the e-waste goes. There are a lot of re-sellers here. We do not re-sell any of the material we pickup, we pull it all appart and then sell the metals and store the rest for a later prossesing plant we hope to develope over the next 8 years. But all thanks to watching your videos back 3 years ago. Thanks mate.

Great video Ben. Never seen so much ram before. Awesome job. Keep sharing and I'll keep learning :)

[@ZoonCrypticon]

I estimate the gold content in the 186 kg of RAM-modules between 30g and 100g of 24 carat gold, or 1860,00 USD to 6160,00 USD. The revenue of the whole scrap in USD was about 8965,00 USD.

[@jonglewongle3438]

@@noahellis3672But it is still best to just sell off the RAM and let the bigger refinery enterprises extract the gold, plus they'll most likely get the other attendant materials instead of sizzling all that away in some backyard operation. The extremely hazardous and thoroughly prolonged rigmarole involved in the do-it-yourself thing involves incubators, flasks, tongs, exacting time durations, gloves, masks, goggles, monitoring of temperatures, and Jesus knows what else.

Holy shit man. I worked for this guy years ago who had an E waste business and this brings back so many memories, the low grade mid grade cpu's ram HDD's SSD's high grade and all the other shit we got. This guy was a major dick but you seem like a nice enough guy and well on your way. If you can fill up larger semi trailers in time, the main guy we were selling bulk high grade to was a Japanese buyer they were paying good. I'll check back from time to time to see your progress. Keep up the great work man.

[@ragingthor866]

Recycling is awesome, however seeing so many thinkpads get scrapped hurts the soul. Many of the laptops shown are worth nothing but so many thinkpad, even broken, are collectors peices because repair is just so easy on those older models. The IBM Thinkpads (not lenovo) are vintage and highly saught after. I'd pay 30quid for one that doest even boot. The Lenovo ones a little less but still worth more their weight in scrap by a hefty margin. People make their rent just on repairing and flipping those masterpieces alone. Regardless keep up the good work.

[@derrynj]

In Victoria, AU (where Ben is) it's illegal to throw ewaste in the bin. It must be recycled. Unfortunately the government made that rule without providing ways for businesses to dispose of it. There are plenty of ewaste guys who will charge a callout fee and disposal for business quantities - most charge extra for bulky stuff like air cons and LCD monitors believe it or not. Ben offering the service for free is actually a very attractive offer! As an IT manager in said state, it's a pain to get rid of PCs - we end up stockpiling them until we can't afford the space then eventually paying someone to collect.
