Ewaste scrapping a big printer at the dumpster

Scrapping a big printer left by Shark Scrapper's dumpster. Most printers aren't worth scrapping but these large networked printers can have some nice boards inside and a steel skeleton.

Tearing them down for scrap is sure a whole lot more fun than tearing them down to repair and put 'em back together so they work!

[@sharkscrapper]

Ain’t that the truth

[@stephaniejacob9293]

The scrapyard my husband takes his stuff to if you don't have your stuff sorted out and there is someone behind you they make you leave and come back when you have everything sorted out

[@sharkscrapper]

Makes good sense

[@josephcormier5974]

Nice stuff in a commercial printer good scrap two thumbs thanks

[@sharkscrapper]

Thanks Joseph it was fun

[@RafalScrapper]

👍😀👍 you had funny looking ommer in there sir haven´t seen this kind so far

[@sharkscrapper]

It's a geologist's hammer used for rock collecting. The pointy end comes in handy sometimes. Also heavier than it looks.

[@TECHNICUSChannel]

this printer is awesome here was been many gold, copper small motors yeah good scrapping job bro , have a nice day

[@sharkscrapper]

Yes, these big ones are worth the scrapping

[@teamSHTF]

I got one of those, spent about two hours on it and never went back to finish lol. I think about 20 stepper motors in it.

[@sharkscrapper]

I understand completely. I can't imagine how long it takes to build them.

[@streetcopper1151]

Heck that was great .. I like scrapping those out because of the boards and all the solenoids .. great show brother 👊🏻

[@sharkscrapper]

Right on

[@anfieldroadlayoutintheloft5204]

Good video keep posting videos up

[@patrick8198]

I would only be interested in the gold ❤

[@afineliner740]

What better place to scrap a monster copier/printer than next to a dumpster, lucky you !! I've always wanted to scrap one of those monsters. A very justified rant 💥

[@sharkscrapper]

It's nice when it's next to the dumpster...very convenient.

[@simplescrapping]

Good job buddy👍.

[@sharkscrapper]

Thanks 👍

[@Alrik.]

Nice video like always, Shark! I looked away for one second and thought the thing fell out of your truck whilst loading, but thankfully you were at the scrapyard already! :D

[@sharkscrapper]

Thanks 👍 Tricky Shark editing 😅

[@Maccoye]

Rafal, look ! Hammer time ! Thx for sharing. Have a nice day @Shark

[@sharkscrapper]

😆

[@pecosjack9122]

Shark that was some nice looking boards. Yes, so inconsiderate of them....hee. thanks for sharing 😎

[@sharkscrapper]

These are the only printers I'll spend time on.

[@bigredbullion3883]

Great video

[@sharkscrapper]

Glad you enjoyed it

[@grandpakevin3354]

That is the type of scrap I would like to tare down. Nice one Shark.

[@sharkscrapper]

Fun and relatively fast

[@dr.a006]

I found one of these by a dumpster once. Tons of plastic, but quite heavy with all the metal. Some boards and motors and wires and a million screws for sure!

[@sharkscrapper]

Always nice when you find them next to a dumpster - makes it much easier 🤣

[@LuisRodriguez-xf9lv]

Nice scrapping on site, under the tree, much better than make a mess in the workshop.

[@sharkscrapper]

You got that right!

[@cuscrapping]

Nice tear down of the copier! That is also my ABSOLUTE pet peeve is the scrappers that sort their stuff as their unloading!!! Should not even be allowed!! Get your stuff together BEFORE you go to the yard!!! Grrrrrrrrrrrrrr!!

[@sharkscrapper]

We're on the same page there my friend.

[@JHP-fireants-shovels]

What about all the screws left on the ground and rolling off between the tailgate and the bed?

[@sharkscrapper]

One needs to be very careful when scrapping outside like this to NOT make a mess. It does slow me down a little, but I pay attention to the screws as I take them out to reduce the likelihood of them being lost and left behind.

[@barrywest3758]

Alrighty then, let's go!

[@MoHomesteading]

WEll that was nice of them to leave it for you! Right?! :)

[@sharkscrapper]

Yes it was

[@poosmate]

Nice one. Take care, Poo

[@sharkscrapper]

Thanks Poos

[@ghr67]

Hello Shark Scrapper. I was watching a few of your videos and I was thinking, the magnet you keep in back of your truck, why don't you tie it with a sting that way if it gets caught on some metal you will notice right away and stop losing them! Just an idea.

[@sharkscrapper]

I tried string once - it just broke. Maybe something tougher like wire?

[@michaelclinton7134]

Hope you are sending the gold to Irish doing my test on Wednesday on the same type of digger

[@Maccoye]

Sorry Shark, I just watch the video of eWaste Ben just before yours so I find your boards poorly populated xD But very relaxing to see this big bugger be smashed and dismantle :)

[@sharkscrapper]

I understand completely 🤣

[@barrywest3758]

LOL, rant, rant, rant! Sometimes you just got to let it out! Enjoyed 👍👍

[@sharkscrapper]

Thanks Barry - I appreciate you letting me vent 🤣

[@jackmclane1826]

What was your approx. pay out for that printer?

[@sharkscrapper]

I'm sorry, that was so long ago I don't remember.

[@jackmclane1826]

@@sharkscrapper I think it would be an interesting addition to all "I just scrapped XYZ"-videos. ;) A rough estimation would do it. No need to be super precise.

[@muriaticacid7004]

Thumbs UP

[@abbiebroussard3220]

If they are old scrappers and they know better I agree it is rude, but if they are new scrappers and just need some direction, I have totally been there. There are so many metals and they are sorted so differently. Although if they know better then it can be irritating. I get it and it could irritate me too, but we all learn by making mistakes.

[@sharkscrapper]

I agree Abbie, we were all new scrappers and thankful for the time the yard guys took to explain things to us.

[@andrewpowell6457]

Just a whole load of plastic in those printers

[@sharkscrapper]

It is a lot of plastic - at least there’s some nice boards and a good metal skeleton.

[@moondog4313]

I think there's a board in the control panel

[@sharkscrapper]

There is - a low grade - that part got edited out...sorry 'bout that 😮

[@moondog4313]

@@sharkscrapper oh ok cool. What do you do with your boards. I've got several that came out of computer towers

[@sharkscrapper]

@@moondog4313 I have two primary buyers. BOARDSORT.COM which is awesome but I have to mail my material to them. My local yard, doesn't pay as much as BOARDSORT.COM but I save on shipping. So I send my higher end boards to BOARDSORT and sell the rest locally. If you're in the US you should check out BOARDSORT.COM. Tell Chris that Shark Scrapper recommended them.

Agreed

[@southaussiegarbo2054]

The school I went to had these. They were a bitch to get to the 2nd and third floors. One them broke down and was to be sold for scrap so they literally dropped it down the stair wells shaft and watched it explode when it hit the ground. It was fast and effective to seperate it. Lift was busy so why not 😂😂😂.

[@sharkscrapper]

That would have been awesome to see.

I've scrapped a few smaller printers. Never a biggie. I do have hopes for one. That is if they can't get money for it recycling. I told them, if you can make a buck, do that. If not, call me. Still waiting.

[@sharkscrapper]

Hope you get it Copper King - they make for a fun little scrap.
