Scrapping the Streets for E Waste & Scrap Metal

[@c-dubmediallc4933]

I just realized you’re almost at 100,000 subscribers. That’s awesome mate. I watch your videos at night and fall asleep to them also. Been a subscriber for at least a year now. Congratulations for growing so much!

[@sheldonlatimer5911]

That was very nice to help out the young ladies good job Ben

[@benjaminreynolds6193]

Ben you are my favourite KZbinr currently. New video almost everyday, loving it! 😃

[@pooorman-diy1104]

you live in such a wasteful country Ben ...!!! ... hehehehehehehe

[@KlausSchawbJr]

"Pack the Van as tight as I can" Wise words from Ben.

[@reydereyes892]

You are a great men...for helping people that may need it.

[@raymondcote6669]

Finally you took the box instead of trying to carry each individual item and dropping part of your arm full in the middle of the road. Yes Ben, you do that!

[@classicgameguru]

as a scrapper who used to live in melbournes east suburbs, one tip i can offer is invest in a belt bag (bumbag) think they are $10 form kmart, then you can stash a couple of your tools in them and not lose, misplace or forget them. Also scissors will eventually break, i found that out even using garden pruners for cord cutting.

[@spottyskunk1898]

I keep a set of scissors like that in the car after I accidentally dropped my fave pair of wiresnips in a recycling pit - I'd rather accidentally scrap scissors than more tools. And it's ways nice to see a scrapper who doesn't mind taking a few minutes for a random act of kindness, adding more brightness into the area. :) And good lord that was big pile of appliances!

[@seleciabrowning3497]

Love t I watch u scrap would love to be their to lookalike so much fun love it dee

[@lt.punchdrunkington7123]

12:34 i got a pretty nice board out of an exercise bike display. I don't recommend taking the whole bike but if you unscrew the display it might be worth it. Just 4 screws on most.

[@raymondcote6669]

Thanks for filming into 7-11. They are set up just like those here at home. Lol. I was amused at similarity. Thsnks

[@irishgoldstacker8018]

That "heavy base" on the lamp is concrete.

[@zimmermansworkshop9394]

With cash registers there is a hole in the bottom back center of the cash drawer. Stick a screw driver in there and wiggle it around and the drawer will open.

[@toomaskotkas4467]

It's too late, he left it on the side of the road. LOL

[@fakenoobyup5492]

Congrats on 33k's going on to 40k soon... Noice Enduro Scrap Tooring, like a Pro ..Nice Driving through the Elements Thanx Ben

[@calithunder]

I like the way you pronounce aluminum. It took me a minute to figure out that you were saying ah-lum-ah-num. LOL! I so wish we had stuff along our streets to treasure hunt through here in the states. So fun watching your video!

[@eWasteBen]

Thanks, it's different to how Americans pronounce aluminum but it's how the rest of the world say it, but we're all talking of the same thing so that's all that matters, awesome to have you watching my vid's, thankyou!

[@marylisabalkovic8150]

It’s spelled different as well...my husband is Scottish and the extra vowel is pronounced.

[@shaneyork300]

Microwave city today. That person at that one house that had all the microwaves had to be someone that installed new ones and those was the old ones. You had a GREAT Day, I had alot of fun watching!!!!

[@raymondcote6669]

You could put a large tarp over your back stripping area from house roof yo garage and work back and forth in rain. You could even extend from house to the fence so some of the barrels stay dry also.

[@gateke1]

7:44 good tip , never knew those scissors could do the trick too, 12:33 those bicycle trainer not worth scrapping? 22:33 a new sport : scrap jogging , scrap while you are jogging, good for the condition, and you can get free stuff too!

[@judybeckner5623]

Great fun, thanks for sharing Ben

[@patprop74]

I am a wood work by trade, Seeing that Burl on the tree 14:21 is far more valuable to me that any amount of scraps, what species of tree do you think that is ? I know you guys have lots of eucalyptus and other exotics woods we crave for here.

[@williamjohnson2105]

on cash registers like that, it is common to have a small release lever underneath the cash drawer

[@CJPhillips6648]

good run for sunday scrap

[@passionatepicker3404]

I learn a lot from you. Great idea with the scissors. I bought a pair or wire cutters last week for about $22 and am always stressing about losing them, have done a few times but found them again. Thank you. Love your videos

[@benny5190]

Im claiming you can never have enough microwaves they stack neatly hold screws and have a nice lump of copper

[@eWasteBen]

yes and no, I need room for PC's too, have 20 microwaves in my yard and i get stuff through the week so I need room

[@benny5190]

True id rather have a big pile of pc's than microwaves i just cant believe how much stuff get left out on the curb it's scary thinking how much stuff goes to the landfill you'd think 90% could and should get recycled

[@Lhifeeq]

Those blue 5 gal. water bottles get a $7. return deposit at our local stores. Quick, sure money.

[@InvokerGray]

I'm a fan, pick me up

[@solar1Aus]

I'm gunna follow him & pick up the left over goodies

[@henriqueortizmendes]

Here in Brazil scrapers have a hard life. Keep scraping and recycling!

[@chernihivske]

Awesome ride!

[@awldune]

Great to see some of the stuff getting reused.

[@rubberneckingjohn]

Loving scrap steel videos

[@nzwotb2525]

Hey Ben you should maybe get a washing machine and see if it still runs then chuck some bricks in it and turn it on and see it destroy itself for a bit of fun and recycle it after

[@JDeWittDIY]

Just for the fun! The barrel/sieve in a washing machine makes a nice little bonfire holder.

[@tomfedarick7042]

i'm having run watching you having fun - tom from the united states !!!

[@darlenekennedy7298]

Hi there just joined you. I must say it’s nice to hear a Aussie 🇦🇺🇦🇺👍

[@slender-chan8653]

i love your vids and i got a tip take the bin with you so you can put stuff in it

[@johnghaly2020]

lots of fun

[@bigcountryscrapper6885]

Great video

[@johnrainger6921]

Awesome Load!

[@rocketaroo]

face in the rear vision mirror, 49:30

[@gateke1]

facial recognition engaged 😊, strange to see someone face, after you always hear someone talking, like radioguys

[@iancanty9875]

Aw heck, it’s not fair! Why wasn’t I born in Melbourne. 😩 It’s a scrappers paradise. I went out in my car one night where I live just hoping I might see the odd skip with metal and stuff but the only ones I saw were full of rubble, old topsoil or old plasterboard.

[@justjo9722]

You are having fun.

[@jeep2003]

I picked up a super cheap microwave today and all the coils were aluminum first time iv seen one like that

[@glennkooijman1386]

look at this a nice ballast... lucky me :D

[@sebrassino]

49:18 I couldnt hold a laugh inside there. Could be my luck.

[@اكتشفماحولك-خ9ج]

5:20 why you don't take the bicycle?

[@SuperClarky666]

Some of the other scrappers on you tube would have a field day picking up all scrap,so much left by my man here but i get why.

[@lt.punchdrunkington7123]

Thats an originally Playstation 1. Good find!

[@tujuhkebatinanpendekar.8812]

i like this job

[@heathercarter8312]

I am so glad that I found out about this show etc because it's what I can relate to for sure, and I have been doing alot of it for years but I have been to prison for the shit too..

[@solar1Aus]

OMG your on a roll !!!! excellent if you ever find a green army type tote bag give me a shout.. I have just bought a metal detector and need a bag.. your excited for yourself ??.. so was I love your vids xx

[@solar1Aus]

I cant believe your luck !!!

[@solar1Aus]

even that orange plastic is worth a few $$$

[@solar1Aus]

when I start my name will be scrapper rager !!!!!

[@mrgreenswelding2853]

Do the light ballasts have good value? Copper?

[@DominicUbble]

Do you get the circuit boards in the microwaves?

[@Zephieish]

What's the laws on used tyres in Australia? You ever check tyres in trash piles to see if they would fit your van?

[@heathercarter8312]

I hope that I ain't commenting too much my friend but I would rent a big truck because of the streets there seems to small to pull a trailer behind you, but anyway I would definitely get a good truck like a U-haul it's what we call them here in the states. But depends on the size of the truck it can cost about $50-$100 a good day and depending on the company it can be cheaper, but anyway I would load up the scraps and everything because that's alot of stuff where you live and I have never gotten that lucky enough to find that much. But AWESOME buddy..

[@fabianfernandez6877]

Hello, I would like to know why you never collect the photocopiers and printers that you find? Please answer me

[@eWasteBen]

too much plastic

[@benny5190]

Each printer is worth about 50p or 70c but you'll end up with a van full of plastic afterwards

[@fabianfernandez6877]

Ben Houghton I understand, I just thought that the printers and photocopiers have step by step motors and they are expensive and they are sold at a good price used and working, do not know if they work in that way? I am from Argentina and here it is hard to get them

[@fabianfernandez6877]

eWaste Ben I understand, I just thought that the printers and photocopiers have step by step motors and they are expensive and they are sold at a good price used and working, do not know if they work in that way? I am from Argentina and here it is hard to get them

[@markneilson6380]

Is this a one off rubbish day for househoulders? Its not regular bin day?

[@Jojobizzare80]

16:16 lol awesome

[@heathercarter8312]

I love the way you say Aluminum bro..

[@adude7050]

You don't salvage the copper from the micro wave transformer?

[@brianjoseph2303]

Do you resell any of the small appliances? Hell, there was enough crap combined on the street to put together a sale, lol. Wish it was like like that around here, nice job!

[@thomasmills3934]

I can't believe how many old tube TVs there still are in Australian garbage...

[@paulrowcliffe1395]

I've just started scrapping out a microwave is there anything inside I shouldn't be touching.great video as always.👍♻

[@Basement-Science]

Don´t smash the magnetron. The ceramic parts on it can be extremely toxic.

[@benny5190]

Dont even bother touching the magnatron it has no value and will kill you if it becomes airborn

[@paulrowcliffe1395]

Ben Houghton thanks for that I've just taken the transformer out and left it outside.glad I asked before I did anything else with it.👍♻.plus Ben when you making your videos haven't seen any for a few months now.miss watching them

[@wayne724]

It's funny to see you pass up this register after seeing you find money in one in the future lol

[@philN1949]

33:20 they are Mercedes Benz limited edition squeipers

[@tristanking7042]

Hey I’m in Canada and I just have to say that I’m a very big fan and I adore scrapping. But I was wondering if you have any tips for me?

[@eWasteBen]

Hi, Just keep watching scrap video's and you'll learn a lot

[@tristanking7042]

eWaste Ben Thanks

[@tomfedarick7042]

nice guy !!!

[@johnmitchell5351]

Hey Ben is there no money in scrap I notice you don’t pick light iron

[@jogordon1530]

Steel? It ain't worth shit over here in the US. Come by my house mate - I got tons of it I can't get shit for! It's totally useless over here. Glad you found some good finds! I love to go dumpster diving on a weekend! Cheers!

[@lmp8932]

I wish I lived where you! Our council (SA) doesn't do hard rubbish pickups, which I think is pretty silly. Anyway there were heaps of things I would have taken to resell. Why do people chuck out good stuff when they can donate it to Vinnies or the Salvos? It's a mystery to me. E.g The Cobra kit. You could teach Taco Stacks a thing or two :)

[@leslarsen5903]

Ben, always take the cash registers! 8 out of 10 times there is cash under the drawer.

[@benny5190]

I get my wire cutters from the boot sales/flea market for about 50p

[@raymondcote6669]

They were good looking though. And they would work even after being wet. Just let dry good. Oven or direct sun Light

[@rocketaroo]

at 51:00 flexible stainless steel exhaust

[@jjjghbbh7646]

I'd be driving around in a trash trucks picking up all the metal I find no matter the size

[@freethinker5777]

Pick up the full TV for the PCB and gold recovery dude

[@beratbozkurt9498]

24:55 i am looking the mirror and i say: im very handsome scrapper LOl

[@thepigdot]

Why collect the older PC's like the one with Windows XP? Do people still buy Windows XP computers?

[@eWasteBen]

no for my personal collection

[@pirateswamp9219]

25 minutes in, they had a couple of geezers and a motor? Tell them to f o next time 🤣🤣

[@karloslowry9043]

You should have drove off with the cabinet.

[@ВиталийЗайцев-л3и]

Hello! I watch your videos how much you can make out of good technology, electronics. There are some good things, and you stupidly disassemble them. You could sell them on the same ebay, and you are under the hammer. How many speakers, stereos, amplifiers, TV sets collect more. I live in Ukraine, the city of Kramatorsk, we do not throw such things out, but carry them in service

[@gateke1]

49:22 good lord, that orange bin throws up all that stuff out Ben had put in 🤮, now the other bins are moving to the front of the car because of it

[@RafalScrapper]

cool nice finds like from me

[@josephonesta6416]

Fun

[@professorsip7242]

Good man! that’s how we do it in Australia help the girls move their furniture, Wish I could say the same for them but they where running so you couldn’t get it, not that you wanted it, they just didn’t want you to get it first,kinda selfish of them

[@اكتشفماحولك-خ9ج]

Why you don't buy a metal melting furnace and melt the aluminum, copper, and brass

[@sofuzzywuzzy]

The lady running to the dresser to claim it 😂

[@toomaskotkas4467]

22:33

[@mlawson41102]

Thumbs up for that GTR at 8:50

[@erwincondino219]

There were two filipina picking a shoes and drawer .lol

[@heathercarter8312]

You should have a good pair of gloves too bro

[@brianbey5076]

I've never seen so much free stuff on the curbside and I have my eyes open and go through many side streets when out and about on my free time just to get a few goodies here and there. Live in B.C and scrap metal is basically non apparent compared to probably the usa or where you live. If anything people make ads online to pick up scrap from homeowners or ejunk(even paying for it)

[@rw9866]

Should have got them all (lol) good karma for helping the girls.

[@ronhernanskey9390]

Amen sweet Jesus amen ❤❤❤❤

[@silverking4281]

Hi ben and all your fans I was asked to bid 30,000 feet cable 500kv heavy cable they gave me a foot to strip from 1 foot of cable I got 1 1/2 lb how much should I bid i will also be picking it up at 1000 feet pick up at a time which I will pay them at time of pick up thanks for all your responses

[@eWasteBen]

pay 35% of what your scrap yard will pay you for clean copper. less if you can.

[@silverking4281]

Thank you Ben love your videos

[@raymondcote6669]

Yes have a coffee and purchase new blades

[@اكتشفماحولك-خ9ج]

All of these mechine contain aluminum and copper

[@Ultimaniacx4]

We got anti scavenging laws here in California.... They encourage people to report anyone taking recyclable materials off the curb.

[@raymondcote6669]

Do your drooling when you get home so we can shut it off !

[@raymondcote6669]

We know Ben. You can’t help it. Lol

[@raymondcote6669]

We’ll wipers do do better when wet

[@aussiedad2587]

Try and get all the microwaves you can in one pick new challenge.
