A Day in the Life of eWaste Ben (Epic Edition) 

Your idea for wearing the sirens is the best thing I've heard all day.

*time to get my scrap notebook and jot down the wisdom. Thanks Ben*

And oldie but a goodie👊🏻😁🇦🇺🍻🍻🍻🍻

Long day Ben - thanks for sharing.

You're doing great explaining everything cause I am new to this, so thank you Ben. George from America

Hi Ben, all. Firstly a happy new year to all you scrappers from around the world. I’ve just started in the last year or so due to covid. Find it awesome to be honest. Just wanted to add that there’s much more stuff to scrap than just the metal. I’ve been selling the steel runners that the DVD holder runs on, springs, the little motors. The glass on printers, all sells on eBay. Even the little driver belts etc. Great work ewaste Ben, love what you do along with Tin Man. All the best for next year.

I'm one of the " new guys " you made the video for and I learned a lot as usual. Really enjoy your work my friend!

Thanks Ben for sharing your day. Absolutely love it. George from America😁👍

Very Helpful I enjoy your videos 🌺

Thanks for the video Ben, much enjoyed!

Miserable Morning in Melbourne. That's pure poetry, man.

Hey Ben, George here from Rome/Utica, NY America. Love your shows! Thanks so much for helping me with my own scrapping adventures with your How to's👍

Every Video Ben's make ...i take Seriously..and mostly Very Enjoyable

A pleasure watching your videos, as always. Thank you ,Ben :)

Love the band-aid...lol!

Inspirational. Thanx Ben

Youre a gem, Ben. Enjoy your monologue of daily scrapping. Interesting to see how you sort out the items.

Answered a lot of questions for me today. Love the tours. Can't wait for the ingots. Looked at the Amazon items and still didn't see furnace like yours, still looking. Good show!!

Binge watching today! Great stuff and learning everyday from you !!!

Nice video keep up the good work I might do scraping when I get older

I loved this video! I would love to see more of these videos. Maybe even a long video of you scrapping out lots of surveillance equipment. Specifically I would love to watch you scrap out all of the alarm boxes in one video.

Exellent, Ben! Thank you.

What an awesome day man! Made me thirsty just watching 🍻 "I wanna be like Ben when I grow up"

GREAT VIDEO INDEED!!! The prequel to the "SCRAP MARATHONS"!!! Which seem to be a successful adventure toward the end of the year of 2018!!

great vid did enjoy that while I scrap my hard drives great job

love it ....THATS A NICE VIDEO ...!! GREAT IDEA ..... THANKS ...!!!

Super video .. Thanks :)

Awesome video!! good luck with all the serveillance stuff.

Great video plenty of different items in this one.👍♻

This has been my favorite video yet! You talk a lot but I like your accent! Plus I just learned more about scrapping Then I have ever learned!! Please make more videos like this It's awesome!

Thank you for sharing.

Thanks for sharing it was a good day

Nice one thanks for sharing

I love the videos

Great video Ben 👍

fantastic video ben

Like the metal boxes you showed at the start! Dimensions and weight? Great for nursing home crafts. Would love the plastic abs tray (palm sized). Can decorate and make pendant or key chain. When you finally scrap the surveillance cameras would like the plastic cup for crafting Would need freight rate. SERIOUS BUYER. SAVE THIS EMAIL

i love your vids m8 and like the cleaning of our planet bud well done to you

Awesome, 4 microwaves, 3 laptops, and some smaller bits and pieces long video! Thanks Ben! Always love to sit down with a coffee and some crap to scrap while you chat with me in the back ground.. lol.. starting to sound creepy, thanks again!

I've gotten really interested in scrapping because of these videos. Once I have some land that I own I'd like to start doing this myself as a hobby. Did some research though and I can't find many reliable scrap yards that take a variety of materials. Most places won't even take things like microwaves as scrap steel, or if they do they require a small fee and don't give you anything for it. It's sounding like I'll be limited just to copper and aluminum.

CD-DVD Drives have small magnets inside that are extremely powerful, I think they're neodymium magnets. They sell online for about $15 per 60, I don't know what you'd get scrapping them but may be worth checking out. Great channel, interesting to watch.

Rockin' it baby. A bit at a time makes for a good weight later on my friend. Keep on striping! :)

I do enjoy your videos, a little long but informative.

Hey Ben, Put some duct tape on that band-aid.. LOL! Great video mate.

lol your nature strip is so much different than most everyone else's that we watch you pass by

I would be interested in purchasing a few of the steel boxes and some of the switches and sirens from you, or even some complete alarms sets too. I could use them for some projects. I live in Oregon, USA.

Nice cutters you have there..

Nice job

here 26 degrees summer now, 18:30 make all the sirens work together 😜 sound alarm terrorist lol, thanx for the always nice and good looking videos Ben 👌 1:06:53 the chicken is waiting for some bits of scrap 😅 1:24:36 woah big pile of scrap

Those lithium batteries have extra long storage life and Panasonic is one of the best brands around, they should be all fine.

Great vid thanks for uploading, how much did you end up getting for all the boards? How long did it take to get that amount of boards?

It’s like a full-length feature!

Should defenitly do that again! Would also loved to see you melt all this copper and aluminium into ingots !

Thanks for sharing I am thinking of start doing scraping part time instead of hobby

Yay! It's Ben, making the world a better place. Thanks, mate.

Great video came at a good time . I'm stuck inside watching the hot Kentucky rain .I'd rather be scrapping .

Use one of the sirens on your van for a back up alarm. Just hook it up to your reverse lights and it will power up when you back up

A newly uploaded video, just as I was about to get back to it... well, I'll have something nice to enjoy listening to while I'm working!

Ben those switches on the doors are for anti tampering.So someone can't disable the alarm undetected.

Can your next video be a time lapse of you scrapping out ALL of the security systems that are not in your garage like all the ones in the wet boxes that collapsed. That would be a very satisfying video lol

the problem with the prank idea is that someone might thing you are wearing an explosive vest!

I enjoy watching the videos very much they are always informative but i would like to know what kid of company would buy the boards

I would totally come and help you with Scrapping out the surveillance stuff , but it's a 22 hour flight. Nice video :)

oooh something different! Yay!

I know this is kind of late, but you should get a digital multimeter and check the voltage drop across the lead acid/lithium batteries to see if they have the appropriate voltage. then maybe you can sell them confidently even if they are old. Great vids

Can't wait to melt down my own metals cause my local scrap yard is not giving me any prices close to yours. Not sure if it's just the country difference or not. Happy scrapping

Thanks for Sharing your knowledge! A thing not all humans do often! I realy Enjoy watching your videos, makes the day Everytime a Bit better! Btw i heard the thermal paste contain silver so Maybe scrape it of where you can Save it?

20:00 isnt that.... The intrusion switch? this one usually sits somewhere behind the doorlid to detect an unautorized opening of the system so the alarm can set off. This switch might be switching the other way round like usually, it could be a normally closed one (NC) pressing the button means that the contacts are open. the opening in the doorlid is more like a hole to mount a lock in there. As authorized personnel, service crew, U have to get in there at least somehow... but tell me.: why dont U sell the entire set instead of scrapping it?

Hey Ben thanks for the video!! I'm up here in Wisconsin, the drunkest state in the good ol u s of a and I would really enjoy more beer drinking/scrapping videos. Thanks to your vids I keep bringing home crt TV's and I'm out looking for junk I can rip apart. Just out of curiosity why don't you ever show your face?

what is that beautiful flowering bush next to the road? thanks for the video, always love learning from you

You have to put your life on you tube. Make it a life series. Really addicting and interesting to watch.

14 degrees is like summer in England think uk scrappers do it all year round in the rain love how different cultures do there thing that would be the perfect conditions to go out for me when I put my ass in gear

You should make a few quid when you get rid of the batteries

Cold? My dear sir it's 2C where I live in Iowa USA. ;) But it's November 21st as I watch this. My Aunt was born & raised in Sydney. Married an American during WW II

Hey ben! The thermaltake case you had there is pronounced as Thermal Take. Thermal related to heat/cold, and Take as in 'taking something'. Goodluck. :)

Hello Ben , excellent video, you quit smoking? you no longer cough !!! thanks for the recycling, the environment ...

have you ever considered selling the cages themselves? These are after all multi purpose steel boxes, they are easy to stack, sure they take up space, I am not saying to keep them all but, server racks and cages are modular steel structures aswell, I don't know it seems to me that something with so many uses could be worth reselling. I'd keep the switches and those packaged electronics you could probably try to sell them to electronic stores in your area, that stuff if is not used lasts decades easily. Btw I have no doubt you already considered all of this, I'd love to know what makes sense from a numbers point of view, also have you ever considered expanding? like renting a warehouse to store items for long term reselling?

is old ram worth anything? I've got a really old computer (probably at least 15 years old) that still works and has 2x 256 ram chips in it so I'm curious if something that old would be worth anything

What is the black part of hard drives made of is it cast aluminium

Use the tophats to outfit Mad Max and Ghostbusters cars... well, it's a random thought. :D I'm wondering if the button is for a test mode - when I did security work, one panel in the safety manager's office had a little flick lever for testing the system every so often.

Those sirens will sell easily on line I’m after a few

Sell the sirens! Some people love sirens.

Are you in the NEIS program Ben?

bril! even as im not a scrapper this is useful for just in case... bit harder in the uk i think but its interesting... especially when you got $2000 out of one load! nice one! a question, what did you used to do before scrapping? pc engineer?

You Thx for sharing

I think you forgot to write down the part number of those cpus. Btw I don't think I'd be able to do what you do to a computer :P

Love this video question tho why not buy 1 of them automatic wire striping macheans for striping all them wires so u get more clean copper wouldn't it be a good investment and get u more money in the long run ? Just wondering sry.....anyways keep these kinda videos coming I really enjoyed it

95 minutes well spent, better than watching oz play soccer! 😀

George from America here. Came back to this video cause I miss watching you. I always forget things so this acts as a reminder. Still trying to understand about the chips on the circuit boards. Are you saying VGA or BGA or something else all together? Keep scrapping my friend. I'm still doing it and just starting to advertise as you did in the beginning. I love what we do!

You ever find any lithium ion batteries? I saw the pile of lead acid which actually surprised me because I thought most people know not to chuck batteries out and send em off to the proper recycling center

Good brack down videos

Funny for all those folks who buy really expensive AV cables - look inside at the crappy little wires inside the TV 😂

ok....so heres a nice wet soggy box....IS MY WIFE THERE?? haha

Isn't Sun corp now owned by Oracle ?? Nice video thanks Ben !!!

a amd cpu?

Could this yellow light indicate that the unit is not plugged into a system? Enjoy your videos, Ben.

Chicken under the table at 1:06 ... lol

I'm a new scrapper n ta expertise has my wheels n ideas turning now u said u need a lot of crystal oscillators for value, but since the the old plugin keyboards contain a plastic sheet containing silver, should b added to the oscillators to increase the refinery amount, let me know what u think

Ben, Like

Random chicken at 1:06:20 lol
