Hard Rubbish Challenge First Pick 

Just retired from police work. I'm also somewhat disabled now. I started watching your videos a few months ago and the scrapping bug bit me. Even with this disability I think I can scrap on a small scale. Thanks Ben.

Just random information here. That plastic device with the key is an airlock, it's used to allow gases to escape during the fermentation process without allowing outside air from entering. You half will it with water and as the pressure inside the key builds up it will bubble through, but the outside air can't force it's way in.

I’m glad you’re a fan of us...your fans.

You're a legend! Back to your roots yeah, love your enthusiasm.

Great episode. I’m just sorry he left out that TV with all that juicy. copper . I love when Ben says about how much an item is worth. I didn’t know for ex. that a cooking pit was worth a dollar.

Thanks for sharing Ben

Another great video Ben, just remember if you are going after cast iron from the BBQ take the burners too, they are usually easily removable and cast as well.

This is the video that started it all for me! I watched in Sept. of 2017!!! I do like your head mount that you use now though!!! :)

Great video Ben. Hard rubbish days have all but disappeared in the USA. The towns that still do it forbids us scraping. I'm jelly

Very cool video Mr Ben ...! Thank you

Man of steel. steel is the meal. love some good steel so versatile.

the keg was from a home beer brewer. the plastic thing on top was an air lock - when filled with water it would allow the CO2 from the fermentation to escape without allowing air back in to contaminate the brew. good find - might be stainless.

Ben, take care some very expensive stainless steel is magnetic, i.e. tools and rifle barrels, there are two types, austenitic stainless (sinks etc non mag), Ferritic and martensitic stainless, (tools etc).

Hey Ben, on the exhaust those are actually the mufflers(close to the rear of the car), the cat conv. is further on up towards the engine(for most vehicles, it may or may not be different depending on the model it is)....could also be different here in the US vs. Australia too I guess. Either way I enjoy watching your videos.

In the states I could resell a lot of that whole I saw in the first 25 minutes. The grills depending on quality I've sold for $100-200 easily in spring, summer, and early fall.

hay I hope u kno some printers like hp that take inkcarts with gon pin back you will find the cart holder also has a nice bit of gold on the plastic backing. and also on the inside on the boards

Good show ol'Chap!. Meat cleavers are generally high grade steel. I have 4 days till i can go and have some fun scrapping.

Awesome video I could watch that for hours id just set up a spare tv in workshop and watch it while scrapping my laptop pile, thumbs up pal

Glad to see your going at it Ben!, I'm back into that stuff tomorrow haha. The reason why some streets haven't got much hard waste, is because some households just don't have much to throw out. Considering that areas like Moonee Valley, Moreland, Darebin and Brimbank have annual hard waste collection each year, many residents simply have nothing to put out for hard waste some years, because they've already thrown stuff out in the previous years hard waste

You sure leave a lot of good stuff behind.

I see so much scrap metal laying around! I txt my scrap metal guy - he helped me out with other projects I've got going at home. Also, he gets whatever I pick-up while I'm at work, as I walk streets on my job. I throw it in a bucket for him, everything from car parts, to bolts/screws that will kill my or someone else's tires, to heavy steel things lying in the road, that I don't even know what they are from - just that they are steel. If its too much for me to deal with while I'm working, I txt him the address/location. He's working hard to make ends meet & raise a family; I appreciate him.

That small plane is a "block" plane, used for planing end grain on timber.

It's like raining scrap in there! In my town all i see on the road is a scrapped crt once a month... Its very hard...

look inside the exhaust and if u see what looks like a hunny comb its a cat

Aussie scrappers have it easy..scrap left out on lawn for you..Never seen it so easy..Talk about pavements full of Gold...

fun fact: there are different kinds of stainless steel, some magnetic, some not.

That blue microwave was positively...cute....

did you sell the knobs of the cook top?

Cant wait for hard rubbish in my area

does a 2,000degree farenheit forge damage concrete over time?

You probably need a small size cart to carry the small size steel things from the pile back to your Benz.

you are making me jealous we've also got curbside and my ute off the road at the same time it sucks there's money to be made but I can't pick it up

Do you strip smaller wire, or just sell it as coated wire? I've got some that is such a pain in the a$$ to strip -- it is bundles of fine wires, as in , think a lamp. It doesn't want to be skinned & holds me up!

I'm German, I only have Miele products. The hob costs €1299 new

You've turn me into a scrapper Ben

... from the road EVERYTHING looks like copper pipe! lol

I open up a vacuum cleaner the other day from curb side got it home started to scrap it out opened it out and there was a dead cat inside nearly spewed . The downside of scraping .

if we had so many scrap in my country .. i would be rich...!

the wood that i see cost really more than your steel. why do you didn't take that ?

Feed that wine to your chickens, make them happy happy

Wow I cant believe you didnt take the table with the folding legs I can sell those for 15 bucks all day long

We get a penalty for wheels w tires on here in Florida

I don’t understand you take something valued at .30 Steele and left the tv with 10.00 of copper. You are correct your scrapping has changed.

I notice that you skip a lot of wine bottles. Do you have a deposit system on your glass and aluminum cans?

Ben you should scrap for the next year and get enough cash to by a bigger vehicle with tail lift then you could collect anything. Why not make that a challenge for the year?

Nice video, SHARP is a japonese brand.

So I was driving to lunch and saw a big rotating heater fan thing. Wouldn't you know it, by the time I got back the trash guys were there picking it up. Not to be undone, there was a satellite dish at the next house that I picked up before the rubbish guys got there.

That Cobra bike is 100usd haha

You could of got $30 for that folding table you past by there $45-60 here in USA

Gonna watch when i got home from work fam

In any country this

40.38 was that a steel toilet lol

go right lolzz

on the BBQs what about the burners? @10:16

go on that good you teach us do not forge3t 444

Is that a cat at 34:04

Hi

Why did you skip over so many items? Thats 500+lbs you could have had.

liked the video but i dont whant to comment

get a chest mount for your cam so you can work twice as fast. its painful to watch you only using one hand

Anyone else find garbage picking in a Mercedes a bit odd? (only for humor)

Only thing that annoys me is when you destroy things that others could have used. When I used to look through hard rubbish collection it was frustrating to see cool things that I could have used or easily repaired but destroyed for a few cents of scrap value (power cords cut off working items, grill taken from a good BBQ ;) ). Yeah I know, first come etc... :p the things people throw out :)
