    The e-waste he scrappes goes back in the circle of processing and every thing he picks up can't get lost in our environment 😎👌 Good job

    You really need to install a protective net / screen between the driver seats and the compartment, in an accident or hard break, anything loose in there becomes flying missiles..

      True, a colleague of mine got badly injured by a flying hi-fi pre amp in exactly that situation.

      That is what exactly happened to my friend, when he was rear ended on his return from the car boot sale. Merchandised shifted forward and hit his head and back. Chronic neck pain even after 6 years.

    Greetings Ben, Thanks for posting yet another fun Escrap Video, always enjoyable. BTW 2:20 he keeps the Batteries because Pound for Pound Lithium has a scarp value 4 times the price of lead-acid batteries do, nowadays get the right scrapyard buyer and you'll get more for the batteries then you will for the motherboard in terms of scrap value. Anyways Cheers Mate!

    Wouldn’t it be easier to roll your tub into the van while at home, and drop it off with the material inside, and get an identical empty wheely bin in exchange from the recyclers? Then you wouldn’t have to do so much unloading. Also, what does the recycler do with the laptops? Just curious. Thanks.

    @shaneyork300 4 роки тому +2

    You said low grade boards are only a little more than scrap steel, I'm assuming you mean the clean pressing steel??
    I'm also assuming that they wouldn't let you put it with the clean pressing steel because of the contaminants of the fiber board and varies other things. Which just putting in with dirty steel would be more than half as much for the low grade boards.
    I'm sure you've considered the best options for yourself, and some times those change!!
    Nice cash flow after 3 trips to the Ewaste recycler!!
    Have a GREAT Day My Friend!!!

    I've got 3 buggered laptops sitting here, plus 3 buggered cursors. I don't write off the cursor exactly with every disfunctional laptop, but it just averaged out the same. I'm on to my 4th laptop since I got my landline Internet, getting close on 9 years ago. If the pile of crap I'm currently on makes it to at least late next year then its 2 and a half years per each laptop. The last 3 being all pawn shop acquisitions. All I need is the USB connect with each ' new ' rig then I'm basically back on the Internet. Just plug in the USB and its back up. Don't know about all that NBN wireless crap. I think I buggered that somewhere along the line. Not doing the service technician thing to get that re-sorted.

Had my first big pickup a few days ago - 2 laptops, 5 monitors, 2 PCs, 2 keyboards, and a box full of random tech junk. Being able to call the person, arrange the pickup, and getting it all home was surprisingly thrilling. Thanks for getting me into this :)
