Trash Day 2006 - The Mother Load (HQ)

  • This is it - the biggest one ever. Watch, listen, and perhaps even salivate as 1.5 tons worth of TV's, VCR's, and more get crushed to bits. It took 3 trash guys almost 15 minutes to load it all, but I have compressed it into 10 minutes by using time-lapse on some segments. The result is something I'm sure you will enjoy!
    Originally part of the Junkpile DVD, I'm now publishing this for free viewing as a gift to my many fans. Enjoy.
    -------
    Jan. 2017:
    To those who have criticized me for supposedly throwing out "valuable antiques"; I can assure you there was nothing here of any monetary value whatsoever. I recycle any copper and aluminum, and sell any collectible items on eBay. If something collectible was thrown out, it must have been broken and worthless. -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
    PLEASE NOTE : AS OF 2017, ALL OF MY E-WASTE IS NOW RECYCLED!
    -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
    At the time this video was recorded, e-waste recycling facilities did not exist in my area.

    Electronics is a hobby of mine, and at one time I repaired a lot of TVs etc. for people. Which meant I had a lot of stuff in storage, and every spring I'd round up the junk units, strip the copper & aluminum and some components, and pile them up on the big trash pickup date. In '06 I was clearing out a lot of stuff to make room for more. Now business has slowed so I don't have as much trash anymore.... I'm glad I videotaped this so I can have a memory!

    Back in the 90's i used to b a garbageman too but the press was 1 big / and on the top u had the side shift n the pull back.
    If the truck was full the loader would go \ so we played with the buttons to keep it straight as much as possible.
    We loaded 10-12T those times are priceless n never comning back.

    Bingo. This was a weird set because the chassis was made by Mitsubishi, and it had that infamous problem with the electrolytic caps leaking onto the board. I had fixed this for a customer but he never picked it up, and since it had no resale value (the CRT might have lasted another year at most), I decided to give it a starring role in this video instead.

    I repair/refurbish used electronics, or at least I used to before the market collapsed, and the stuff in these videos were the rejects. I strip the recyclables (copper, aluminum, etc.) and some other components before discarding them.... so nothing of value ever gets wasted.

  • @jackdavies5148

    In England you would take the electronics, excluding televisions, to a scrap yard where you would get something similar to the same rate as for 'dirty' metal (anything containing iron). The televisions would be difficult to dispose of in that quantity.
