For about 6 years I've been cutting the ends off my cords & I ended up stock piling over 3,000 lbs of cut cords. When I went to sell them at the highest priced scrap yard they said that I didn't need to cut the cords because they pay the same for cut or non-cut. I really wasn't all that disappointed because of a couple of reasons. One I liked it because it was kinda therapeutic and two I had a couple hundred pounds of clean brass because I'd also get all the brass plugs I'd cut off. I'm not a professional scrapper, I do it as just a hobby. So loss of time & money is ok. For anyone else out there it does matter make sure to check your scrap yard before you put too much time into it.
Ben you are a workaholic and I love it ! The things we can learn simply by watching your videos is fantastic ! Thank you for sharing your knowledge with us. You are the best 👍
Yo Ben! Good to hear prices are going up. .385 a kilo on pressing steel is great. Poly Prophet is still only getting 15 cents a kilo and he does all the hard work, to gather and bring in. Plus his fuel cost, driving around. Doesn't seem right. You didn't mention the price of copper but we'll know in the near future when you decide to take in a bin load or two. And to think, all those thousand and multi-thousand dollar computers/servers are just pennies on the dollar in e-waste and scrap. Some of your invoices though, are for amazing amounts. Your saleable PCs and laptops, are even more amazing. I'm always impressed. Keep On Scrapping!
Great video, Ben! Those "Rubbish taxes" are total BS! I see Canada is now doing it as well. Nothing here...yet, but I do see it coming! 😡 You've got a hoodie on and it is going to be 95 (35C) here today!! That statement isn't quite so funny when the tables turn and it's January here and we're all bundled up and you're wearing shorts!! 😂
Hey man. Travis here from Michigan. Love the content. Here in the states a lot of the recycling for these specific materials are closed loop. Its genuinely nice to see someone getting a piece of the pie. cheers mate.
I don't kniw if it's worth it, but I save the door switchs in microwaves. The terminals are usually silver plated, and of course the contacts are silver. Likely just silver at the contact points.
Cost 300 to 500 to produce one oz (that is only chemicals cost). It is worthless. Gold is just now hitting prices where it's worth it. Silver has a long way to go. Probably beyond your lifetime.
I keep all the components with silver contacts in a small barrel. I break down the large ones. I look at as an investment if it goes up like crazy some day awesome. If it doesn't, oh well.
@@68Eric86 I know lots of people think silver is undervalued, but per my earth sciences education, it's a common byproduct of copper, zinc, lead, gold, and a couple other types of mining. I do save contacts, though.
Incrível seu trabalho aí. Eu faço isso aqui no Brasil mas aqui é muito difícil pois as empresas não descartam quase nada. Se tivesse a oportunidade de trabalhar com você aí no seu país eu iria.
i live in my sprinter van, was thinking buying trailer and street scrap. only thing have trailer 24/7. do you think i could make 200 or 300 a day? what you recon
I've been dismantling scrap electronics for years, but here in Germany it's only worth unscrewing the PC and collecting the mainboard, graphics card and hard drive for a scrap dealer and here you're not allowed to take electronic scrap off the street, just like that Forbidden and represents a theft by the law unless you ask the people who stole the things on the street then it's not okay otherwise it's the same with the garbage tons of containers if you are wanted to do this you will not be charged with theft even though it should be thrown away👍💪💪
Cheers Ben, do you work 7 days, or do you take a rest day, you not mentioned hobbies like golf or fishing, or even taking holidays, you seem to work so hard always
Is there a website or an app that has any type of info on vintage pc's? I picked up yesterday a dell optiplex gx110 desktop model #DCM. I don't know if it's worth selling or just scrapping out?

👋. I'm taking my little lot in on Wednesday .. that'll buy me a bottle of wine 🎉..
Moving, moving, moving - keep those PC's moving, Scraphide 🤣🤣😂😂
How about hydraulic garden shears for your cable processing? They'll be a lot easier on your hands 🤷🏻♂️
At 67 the hands aren't what they used to be. Carpal Tunnel and arthritis, totally suck. As if wanking isn't enough challenge at my age.
Great video
Loved it
If you invested in a granulator you could process all the plugs and cables and low grade boards into buckets of copper, steel shred and junk.
$0.07 a kg metal Brisbane. But they insulated wire with plugs on and even Christmas lights all $3.20 a kgs. Cheers Graham
Keep up and take care Ben
I love your videos Ben I’m now doing scrap metal with cable I been cutting cords off washing machines
Yayyy
You've gotta be careful with those capacitors Ben! Always good practice to short out any large ones on boards before you start scrapping!
" i have a printer and 2 monitor. " ......you should have said throw it in the bin..😂😂
Wow actually better prices here in Norway. Ca 85 AUD cent pr kilo here now
The graphics cars could def be sold for way for that scrap value
NJ USA
I bought a cordless pruning tool, it goes through the lighter cable ok. I found that cutting a lot of cable is sore on the wrists

Bet that felt good to get shot of that lot
do you take out the copper from the microwaves?
Watching you do that with no gloves gives me the heebie jeebies
I don't sell my batteries to scrap yards any more.. I take them to a parts store and they give me store credits. I get 10 for a big battery
Side cutters = Fingers aching by the end of the day !☹ Good days graft mate.
Hope you are having a blessed week man of God love you mighty man of God so does Jesus Christ

Ben it's good to have empty bens but when they r full that means there is money there
Did you not take motor out of lawnmower, looked in tact
What no gloves I always wear gloves whenever I go to the yard cause I’m worried about cutting myself on metal

It seems as though Ben is always working
Ben what is that bird? sound in the background? Is it a type of dove? Doesn't sound like a chook.
👍
That must be your dishwasher, cause you don’t pick that stuff up
It's amazing to me how much unprocessed cable goes through our yard. People don't want to cut the plugs off. Too tedious in large amounts.
Can I ask why you put some boards in as scrap. Aren't they good enough for low grade?
You don't take out the transformers from the micros?
Great video, thanks for taking us along
Ben, do u process hard drives? or sell whole?
sell whole
I get 2,31aus per kg for my powersupplys
Irony ellly, eye in the alley... What is that phrase he keeps on using? Surely some Aussie thing but I am curious.
Irony aluminium, not sure how much it goes for, but it seems like a pretty common category scrap falls into.

You keep using your old car which means you don’t need a new car.
