Street Scrapping quick run around for e waste

Perfectly good frypan, resell for $5.00. Cord value 10c. I hate cord cutters.

what about the beds in the first stop that you made, weren't they recyclable? It looks like an episode of hourders. And cutting cords is really disturbing, Because it could work.

[@TheTorkerman]

For those that don’t live in Melbourne. The reason that the scrappers roll out in force in these areas is that there are only a small handful of local council areas that have a “hard waste collection” the rest of Melbourne have adopted the “booked pickup” model. Councils save a fortune by only paying waste collection companies to collect booked pick ups vs picking up an entire suburb worth of trash, Not everyone will book 1pickup a year, but if the whole street did it then others just join in. I live north east of Melb, my council saves on average $320,000 to $370,000 per year booked pick up vs free for all. Also given the fact that most households would put out more than the allowed amount (2 cubic meters) and putting things out like paper, books, and cardboard that should be recycled through the normal bin system. A perfect example can be seen @04:10 Just remember that local government is NOT about serving the community, it is ALL about money. ...in case anyone cares 😎😎 Thanks for sharing your experience with us Ben

[@Sam-fp8zm]

I used to find so many good things in dumps then sell it on marketplace. The most me and my dad found in one dump was $633 worth of stuff (collectable dolls). We probably averaged $200 an hour pre covid driving round finding stuff, post covid $150 then eventually $100, and now zero. everyone is throwing out less good stuff likely due to no personal savings so they are buying less new stuff, and throwing out less old stuff.

No sense in leaving a little taste for others when you cut the cords off of everything? Most of those irons and radios, etc. probably still worked. That stuff sells on FB Marketplace, etc. Just saying???

[@jennyharris2369]

it would be cool if you did a challenge or something regarding the amount of irons you find i find myself counting them as you cut the cords

Might be something to have a bit of fun with over a few weeks.

I’m surprised that you don’t tie downs Rollie bin for all the wire and small bits you pick up. Might make the muck out a bit easier

[@wnytrashtrucks]

No it takes up vaulable space

[@ursamines7643]

WNY Trash Trucks it would be the exact opposite. Strap down a bin against the passenger seat and all the wire, modems, cd roms, mice, and other small bits would go in easy enough leaving room for PCs, motors, chairs, or whatever else is larger.

[@ursamines7643]

Not a big bin, a trash/recycle one in the 60-90 gallon (250L-350L) size.

This is part of a "community cleanup", like we would call it in the United States. This happens every six months or once a year. In the US we have to take it to a central location to be disposed of. In Australia, the city will pick it up at the curb.
