[@larrywalker3137]

Glad to see you're back out on the street scrapping Ben

[@sharkscrapper]

You crack me up with your crutch karma 🤣🤣

[@paulcoenen7918]

My thoughts are they are happy to be getting rid of them and hope someone will recycle them. 🙃

[@nebraskafan4889]

"I'm only going after e-waste" comes home with EIGHT microwaves. 😂😂😂

[@SollersScrappingandDiving]

So thrilling to watch, motors for the taking, open CRTs, love the way you covered up the tubes by the way, I knew you'd do that, always respectful and thinking of the safety of others, love it! So many electronics, love it 🙂

[@beefybuttercup2978]

I appreciate your cleanings & careful restacking for safety

[@andyweins]

Love the promotion of proper handling of E-waste!

[@trevorlecocq9287]

Love the challenge videos! Looking forward to it.

[@paulcoenen7918]

Yes me too. Flat broke ,gas tank on E, no food in the fridge challenge and you gotta cash in before the yard closes. 👍

[@2sheds315]

Very nice baby, lets go! Get some of that cord! Get some! Yeah! Scrap mania! Blahhhhhhhhhhhh! "Low and sweet" Best thing I heard all day.

[@mikewarren5004]

Hello Ben. I always enjoy your videos. G'day mate.

[@blal07]

Really though Ben, how could we forget the 100 bucks in the cash register. That was a golden day.

[@mr.g-sez]

man i wish i could go street scrapping! this is some kind of bonus freedom. our scrapyard is a effing monopoly!

[@michaelbrumfitt]

👍nice load I was thinking I remember when you stripped crt tellies on the street then you came across two and stripped them there👍

[@johnsakalis4519]

Ben when you find a PC your voice smiles!!

[@RafalScrapper]

not bad scorre this time 👍... good luck next week cheers

[@pierreqiu8147]

👍👍👍👍👍👍 great scraping Ben

[@Retro_andy_1977]

These videos are the best!

[@josephcormier5974]

Excellent street scraping so much great stuff to pick from excellent haul thank you for sharing five stars my friend

[@KernowAirSniper]

Imagine following after Ben and hoping to find a nice working hoover etc and everything you find has no cord 😂

[@turji]

It's a shame with these gad dmn cordcutters everywhere ey..

[@Mobliz]

As far as vacuum cleaners go, they are thrown away constantly because they are built so poorly. However, a vintage vacuum cleaner could be worth hundreds or thousands and will last for many many decades of use.

[@paulcoenen7918]

@@Mobliz I have a few in my garage. They weigh a ton each and made of aluminum. Pretty sure nobody going to give me more than fifty for each.

[@scooterllm]

Really nice haul today Ben!!

[@cameronbrown9080]

Great video today and well done for the scrap that you saved from the landfill I saw polly got 7 laptops in one stop today and I thought of you and now hear you are doing well 😀 👍 😊

[@blal07]

I'm going to find that episode right after Ben's all done. Noice!

[@jonglewongle3438]

Yeah, I saw that late last night. I first saw that video being up for just 5 minutes, but got to watching it later. It looked like someone had been going through every generation of laptop, being overly worried about keeping up with every application stage.

[@elizabethbarrow2879]

Too right , you do you and have fun

[@dalecrary8738]

Great video. Thanks

[@viper1106]

9:00 boot 15:32 bag of lovely shoes 40:48 wonderful flats!

[@rileymason3606]

Hello mate just a short line to tell you that you are awesome and a great teacher that's right you do you

[@eWasteBen]

I appreciate that!

[@inthenameofIove]

23:10 oh wow beautiful look at these nice chairs!! him may as well scrap these chairs too.

[@nachostuff]

Take it all - you can always take a second trip! Happy Hunting

[@2romote]

Hey Ben, you threw your side cutters in the back of your Van, see it the 30:33 min.mrk. in video

[@ScrapMetalTV.]

That was a great street run, van is full 👍

[@bren70ssss94]

Love these, Ben , all the best from Ireland 😀

[@liamwilliams4297]

Good job boss. Looking forward to your next video

[@OldFatGuy]

Another GEM of a video! 👍

[@wayneday3916]

Great street scrap today. And nice to the big thumbs up in the the ultimate recyclers video the other day.

[@pederlindstrom3132]

Hello Ben,, Sweden here again. Yeey,, street scrapping 👍 That will be a great dessert to watch after I have had dinner at moms place.

[@eWasteBen]

Sounds great!

[@pederlindstrom3132]

@@eWasteBen so it was,, and tasty. Now that dessert.

[@michaelschuenemann3505]

[@krystiankucharski7299]

[@CoinSilver800]

around 47:40 but what about the aluminum ladder?

[@scrapman502]

Ben doesn't Like other cord cutters because they got there first!

[@shaneyork300]

I just scrapped an old electric type writer and it had a good board in it. About 15 older ICs and an Eprom with gold inside!! I was pleasantly surprised!!

[@markavargosr36]

those two chairs go with a kitchen table and 4 chairs, in new condition i pulled the whole set from some people who set them out along with a bunch of other stuff, the table and chairs alone were 499.00 plus tax. video from 3 months ago. the guy with the big truck is a metal scrapper. i watch your videos over and over. Thanks.

[@ariesmariano4592]

Awesome videos

[@RustyNail5856]

i Enjoyed the video.

[@TECHNICUSChannel]

Micro for free are the best! Good work

[@joenewman6939]

Wow I did not think you were going to find that many electronics nice haul 👍

[@robertbedard2962]

[@markgoddard7960]

Lovely mate

[@bigredbullion3883]

Great video

[@davidranew8768]

Great Video Ben Keep Bringing The Video's Dude get you some side cutters for the van, GOD Bless You And Your Family 👍👪

[@greekgods3399]

love it

[@TheUniversalEyes]

Looked like a whole roll of copper line sitting on top of that desk at 18:33

[@ottomeineke9230]

Should have grabbed the blue bag to hold those cords and the small stuff

[@SilverScorpion]

Nice finds

[@elitearbor]

I was surprised you didn't grab that aluminum extruded ladder there at the second stop from the end.

[@susanpiele3372]

Remember the lockdown how awful lot was you couldn't go out in a street scrap you couldn't do anything it's so nice to see out there picking through this stuff again and stuff is worth money it might not be PCS but it's still worth money think about the lockdown how horrible that was for you

[@phillipcooze7668]

yep the lockdown was worse than the virus

[@jeffreyczech2591]

hello from germany hope you find great stuff

[@scrappinge-wasteholland460]

Nice streetscrapping Ben

[@oukie666]

42:12 squirrel 😂

[@goldmagnet]

You dropped the cutters in the back of the van on driver's side near wheel arch lol.

[@saturdaynightbobchannel]

No beer in the fridge and no food in the fridge, certainly some scrap can help

[@TheUltimateRecycler]

Good work Ben! I actually do sell microwave plates through the shop for $5 each! Sure, I don't sell as many as I get - but people do break them at times!

[@EastAngliaUK]

I was given 3 pcs and 3 screens the other day for free glad the man replied to my wanted add. one of the pcs was an Intel Core i5-4590S which is nice for free around hear.

[@fredself7846]

Exceeding expectations. I didn't think there would be that much electronics on the street this time. Ben, you are going to have to start tying your cord cutter to your belt so it stays with you. LOL

[@robethamblin2038]

Good morning Ben You are doing doing good job

[@eWasteBen]

Thanks! 😃

[@robethamblin2038]

You're walcome Ben From keavy Kentucky

[@sharkscrapper]

Those TV's were odd - somebody took the time to remove the backs but didn't take the yokes or boards? Very odd. Switches and routers and modems...oh my! 🤣🤣

[@stevenmcbride4483]

Lol I was thinking the same thing when I saw the girl in the black car. She was cute.

[@theunknown9603]

you miss the copper coil frame 18:33 mark

[@lorieakins2843]

Yay

[@Darkangel01966]

Used to be able to do that around here till they opened electronic depots,now it's illegal for people to put Electronic items out for cleanup.

[@CaptainKirk01]

Haha, funny with the cash register. You know, but when I was young and worked as a cash clerk, the register drawer would loose bills and checks inside the drawer compartment all the time.

[@Synthexd]

It's madness that here in Scotland, (Glasgow), taking things from skips or bins is classed as 'Theft by Finding' ??? Utter madness....

[@michaelbrumfitt]

If it’s the same as england anything that goes in a skip belongs to the skip hire company but if you ask the person who has hired the skip for permission you can take it

[@Youtubsucks5]

Maybe someone over there should look up the definition of trash

[@bellaportaustralia]

Same here

[@frereskk]

I hope you found your side cutters when you emptied the van!!! You threw them at the same time as you threw something in your van...

[@luizCarlos-us1gv]

👏👏

[@ifindmetal]

Mate you need a retracting tether and holster for your side cutters

[@rimka11]

The Logitech steering wheel, all set with pedals and stuff. This thing cost like 150eur used. You just cut it's power supply.

[@bradwelch7425]

If that Amp works I will have 😁😁

[@DanielJBrodie]

heres to carrying 2 or 3 pairs of sidecutters....

[@Spiderbuster71]

Yeah cord food :D

[@ScrapFatherScrapSon]

I stopped getting microwaves a while back. I can’t remember the last time I came across one with a copper transformer

[@mattmailloux]

At 18:32 there appears to be a large roll of copper pipe sitting ontop that dresser

[@eWasteBen]

Yeah, it's plastic piping, tricks me every time too

[@magnushenriksson6580]

I was thinking that maybe the transformers from all the scrapped-out microwaves are being used for fractal wood burning?

[@turji]

They have been now, you are clearly a cordcutter yourself mate..!

[@Best_singer_eazy_e]

At 27:57 that’s a gaming steering wheel with the gas paddles and brakes and the stick shifters I kn your just taking it for scrap but those go for a lot even just for parts

[@dr.a006]

Well, you can probably pay for new side cutters after picking up all those microwaves😅

[@scrapman502]

This makes sense. He passes up a large 100% aluminum Ladder, but then takes a smaller Irony aluminum ladder. (worth less)

[@michaelhader572]

They both are worth more money to scrap take it right to the center get the money and won't have to have so much clutter lying around quick cast is easier

[@alexpanagiotidis1811]

I was thinking pick up the ladder then he picks up a smaller one.

[@keithmueller9685]

When you were looking for your side cutters did you look up your bitt

[@MrRattymiller]

Im after advice please. I stripped a microwave yesterday for first time and the wire in side was a silver/grey colour . But when u rud it on a block its copper with a coat on. What copper pile would that go in to?

[@eWasteBen]

#2 copper, it's tin plated

[@johnlacey155]

Every area is expensive in Melbourne !! :) :)

[@ramblingman8992]

You missed the 2-stage aluminium ladder that was right in front of you.

[@davepitts1340]

That was hilarious when he seen that pretty girl

[@davidzwar7228]

Was that a roll of copper or plastic hose on the desk at 18:33 Ben??

[@frereskk]

I was wondering if you knew that the small wire that you cut around the monitor was copper^ It doesn't look like copper, but it is...

[@johncannon6572]

U must be crazy to leave all that scrap on one block ,Over a hundred bucks just sitting there..

[@braydenmcgee9429]

Every scrapper has there own gig and what they like to do if what he enjoys and makes a livening out of it so I think it’s awesome

[@michaelhader572]

Is the trash over there picked up weekly or monthly it looks like maybe even a heavy trash day?

[@jerremm]

omg at 18:33 did you miss that nice coil of copper tube?

[@aldimota8817]

18.33 cooper pipe was that???

[@damianstasek8946]

Crutches are decent money. They only take a few minutes.

[@sheldonlatimer6688]

Your side cutters you put them in the back

[@patprop74]

It's been a while since you did a scrap or starve video, would be interesting to compare the totals from one just before the pandemic and now. and see how much we now pay for what we used to get for free.
