'Got to work 2 hours just to buy a lettuce' then the guy's response of 'you lucky bustard, we can't afford a lettuce'. Absolute comedy gold.

lol agreed

[@mountdesertrock]

What a great guy!

[@RepairmanJack91]

Thanks for these types of videos Ben. I cant leave the house so I am living through you man

Those small vacuum cleaners hqve a copper motor to and they are pretty easy to get to.

We can call You the Microwave King - ha ! Thanks for showing us scrapping of the Microwave Oven and the Difference of an Inverter and Transformer ! Nice Video and Cheers from us in Australia !!!!

[@lisevivier1878]

Very important to pass on the knowledge.

[@josephcormier5974]

Excellent street scraping even if you don't get a lot every thing you got has some nice return keep up the great work looking forward to seeing some more scrap video especially The machine that you got last street scrap thank you for sharing five stars brother

[@jesusfreak1284]

you got me into scrapping and for awhile i was doing street scrapping and now i get enough from my job working on semi trucks that i dont need to anymore. Love putting your videos on and start processing my scrap!

[@andrewcannon587]

pretty nice days in Oz for winter season. Petrol price gone down, more street scrapping !!!

[@liamwilliams4297]

Good ideas. Always learning from others. Can't get enough information

[@michaelbrumfitt]

👍the interaction with the fella at the brass and copper made up for the lack of finds👍

[@adamstephens99]

You need your friend PolyProphet to get the washers, dishwashers and dryers.

[@madelinerose5326]

Was wondering too, but think there is enough to go around.

Hello Ben, hope ypu are swell. I love your way of thinking: pass the word on the recycling stream !

Hey Jules how you doing?

Great video I live in the UK and wish people did this here van and trailer would make decent money I will recommend something use little bits to fill up micro waves they make good heavy weights 😉

[@anthonyjohnson9845]

Thanks!

[@robertkalten5127]

that electric lawnmower has a nice electric motor with good copper in it, sometimes they can be a pain to get out but i think its worth taking, some lawnmower decks are made of aluminum, handle bars are usually steel, if you seperate the parts it can be good money, most flywheels on lawnmowers ive gotten are aluminum and not usually difficult to take off with basic tools

[@bigredbullion3883]

Great video

[@sharkscrapper]

Hey Big Red

[@TheUltimateRecycler]

I think the local councils pick up all the dead scrappers who have touched the microwave capacitors Ben! 😉🤣🤣

[@joselbazcom4221]

Thanks for continuing to share your videos. They are very informative and also entertaining.

I was surprised you picked up a mower!

[@susanpiele3372]

I would love to watch you streets Street scrap you never know what you want into

[@GetDougDimmadomed]

I try to go junking early, because I despise cord cutters. Most things still work, and I can clean up and resell electronics.

[@dalecrary8738]

Great video, thanks

[@dpmurray9795]

Can we see a scrap for beer again please Ben..

[@sbcsbc4629]

Some microwaves are full of bugs... you definately don't want that in your home

[@scrapman502]

There is 3 ounces of copper in a magnetron. How much copper is in an all-aluminum transformer? If you pick up a microwave with the power cord already cut off and the transformer doesn't have any copper in it, all those other things you clip out of the microwave don't add up to what's in the magnetron. Plus, you get some nice magnets too!

[@goldmagnet]

Yeah decent chunk of clean copper in them hey, I cut the two bits of steel off each side where it's been friction welded, they add up quick.

[@damahuob]

do u know if those donut-shaped gold colored spongey things inside the magnetron are gold plated?

[@scrapman502]

@@damahuob No, they are just brass. most of the ones I get are damaged from heat, so they are blue or silvery in color.

[@terileuck3211]

Love you ben

[@sharkscrapper]

🤣🤣scrapped one just like the first one you did today. My yard buys the Cu/Al transformers as "breakage". Not great, but better than shred.

[@Brendan95]

11.47 washing machine motor?? That's an alternator man haha 😂 love the vids btw 👌

[@mareecathie2476]

I maybe one out but I don't prefer the street scrap videos to the scrap marathons you do. Maybe because I'm Australian too. I particularly like the processing board videos you do. Yes, I sat & watched the cable processing video for an hour + and loved it! 🙂

[@shaneyork300]

It'd be great if you could do this at the end of every street scrap video!! Pick one thing to scrap!!!

[@campervan-john]

The good times are over for street scrappers

[@anthonyjohnson9845]

You have showed me how to scrap out eWaste and I have been able to make some extra cash from it thanks from Virginia !

[@antman3525]

I noticed last week that Moreland has put an end to hard rubbish weeks. Now its appointment only. I can see Darebin following them probably next year as we also have a weird Extreme Left Council

Ben is a Cord Cutter. But he takes other stuff too.

Hello Ben, have you got a wood heater? So much potential firewood that you drive by. You're heating bill could be almost zero IMO. Cheers, Steve

did you get the mylar bourd theres silver there

[@jibba771]

The magnetrons do have good magnets in them though.

[@scrapman502]

Hard drives have better magnets.

[@goldmagnet]

Magnetrons have a huge chunk of copper in them

[@scrapman502]

@@goldmagnet A lot more copper than the power cord, fan motor windings and relay coil wires all put together! He's just convinced that getting the copper out of a magnetron is not worth his time.

[@heathermurray9939]

In England scrapmen legal pick ups, are changing, they have to have a special licence to take fridges and freezers due to the gas cylinder at the bottom, & they won't be able to pick up washing machine/ tumble dryers and microwaves. Our local rubbish collection that you have to pay for them to take away. More fly tipping rubbish

[@khanqazimuslim9355]

good job

[@kaib1125]

that is an alternator lol ,there is no residual power left in microwaves after they have been unplugged for 24HRS i strip microwaves incl the ali off the magnatron :D

[@Glokal94swe]

I also have a Washing machine motor attached to my car engine🤣🤣

[@Nick-km2fj]

Does anyone know why he isn’t using that new van he purchased a while back? Haven’t heard much about it.

[@parisiadrian]

How many times a year does Australians change their microwaves?

[@jennyharris2369]

How about how toasters can I find in one run video?

[@coreyhoward8950]

I love watching your videos. I'm from the U.S. and I'm wondering if the capacitors on the circuit board have any value?

[@Ditpoud]

not really

[@sharkscrapper]

Hey Corey - I'm a US base scrapper as well. My recommendation is leave the boards as is and sell them as low grade.

[@scrapman502]

I work with a guy on the weekends fixing microwaves. The capacitor has value for re-use, not for re-cycle. A new cap if you need one is between $10 and $30 depending on power rating. I always just save the capacitors, and most of them get re-used.

[@joshp6061]

@@sharkscrapper can’t you sell aluminum capacitors as breakage at some yards?

[@ecua-el_pinguo2164]

11:47 I’m sure that’s a alternator

[@davidk8699]

I once found a huge redback inside a microwave oven near the transformer

[@jamespn]

You’ll see less personal pcs too since we’ve gone to iPads. CD, DVD, VCRs, land line telephones are things of the past.

New boots mate?

[@qwertykevin1]

Why would you take the sander but not the motor off the lawnmower? And why would you want a DVD player or modem??

[@wesleybartholomew5920]

The freon tanks are worth money and batteries are worth money

[@jamiekatz7591]

When you see an electric mower you don't take them. Are they not worth scraping the motor? You would think there is plenty of copper in it.

The cord cutting kinda bugs me. I guess if you don't do it someone else will. It just turns potentially repairable items into trash. I guess they could be rewired.
