How e-Waste Is Recycled | GreenShortz 

lol

lmao same brutha

hi:-)

Environmental impact humans have on the environment

Same🙃

+Greg's Garage That's why designers need the Greg's Garage mantra (still under wraps)!

Agreed Tom. Btw.. Tried to message you on FB, not sure if it went through. No big deal... Also, forgot to mention earlier... Great video. There's a big debate about what happens to the e-waste. A lot of folks think the local companies strip the copper and gold, then send the rest to China so they can get past the environmental restrictions and just melt the stuff down. The process you showed clears that up completely.

Thanks Greg. I'll check for the message. Juan mentioned a discussion group.

Not all recyclers do that some actually refine and process the material before sent out

haha I had the same thought as I was watching. They were talking about the plastic as if it were the most valuable component.

plenty of recyclers do this, recently found an e-waste on eBay who had a lot of laptops for half the price others are selling at.

TheKittenGamer people are dumb, the best thing to do is resell it, or fix it so it isn't shredded

When I saw all of those desktop pcs I easily saw at least $200 their with all the components the case the DVD player the motherboard and the ram cards things like those that can make you money rather than wasted and shredded

Y'all are dumb that shit is junk for a reason noone would buy it how would you afford the man power to repair all that shit then where would you sell it at least if you break it down you can easily sell the metals and broken down components to be used for new electronics an the cycle goes on you can't keep just repairing junk theres already too much

@@DiegoGarcia-zj5oy heyy I would be curious what you think about Dalton's question :) Do you know about a cost-efficient way to do it? And if not, how can we make it cost-efficient, like everyone learns to deconstruct their own stuff...more ideas

Diego Garcia the rams and hard drives and graphics cars are removed before shredding.

I heard in some places the police actually accepts used phones to hand to people in need. Like a victim, they're caring for, and sometimes the computers are given to cops to use as well.

Cameron Thompson not funny

@@goosty17 Wasn't meant to be. Its making light of how we are told ewaste is recycled vs the reality.

Which stimulates their economy and provides their citizenry with employment.

@@BigPMaher an releases plastic fumes and heavy metals into the enviorment

I'll agree on the waste angle. So many people have no idea how to fix stuff. I can tell from your comment that you know what you are doing. At this plant they had a 4x4x4 box nearly full of Canon DSLRs and lenses. They had actually pulled them out to check them to see if they still worked.

Thanks for that, other things I've found were a brand new, unused, electric crockpot, a cyclonic Hoover that merely needed a good clean to get it going, and a very old set of early LED Xmas lights. Just needed a suitable power supply and away they went. I often salvage audio items, as things such as cassette recorder heads are getting hard to come by, very often you'll find an all-in-one with a kaput CD but the tape player's never been used ! It can often be re-used to make an older cassette sing again though, and of course 8-tracks, reel-to-reels, and even rare STEREO microcassettes seek repairs or sanctuary here. As you can probably tell I restore older equipment and my home's something of a museum of electric appliances. I've a 1920's cylinder Hoover, a Hoover 375 from 1932, and an ancient tea kettle from july, 1940. Thankfully my Tennesseean wife loves old things too. Happy Holidays, warm regards, River.

Tom Mills kindly share me your mail. I have some question

then break it all down and recycle and sell it yourself

i do idiot

Good c:

+David Bergquist I have sold some on eBay a while back. Agree with you that they best use for "e-waste" that still works is for what it was initially designed to do...which is even more awesome when it was meant to rock!

+rahul thandu I don't know how much this e-waste facility cost to build, but I know it was multiple millions.

Because it shouldn't matter about the damn money, we should try to save our planet for our future people to enjoy and not be so damn greedy.

hucks33 the scrap yard won't do anything to keep the toxic materials out of your local environment and in many cases the old electronics are shipped overseas and become mountains of dangerous waste piled up in poor neighbourhoods

+hydrolisk1792 Naive. Money always matters. If saving the planet is your obsession than do you know what could help you do that? Money.

+xcvsdxvsx Making money by doing the thing that is against your morals? Sometimes things are worth doing for more than financial gain. We are shepherds of the planet, yes we reap the benefits of the resources we have, but greed and recklessness can easily taint those resources. Who says we can't make money AND leave things as good or better than when we found them? Is that really such a mind blowing and unachievable concept? You really don't understand why someone like hydrolisk1792 would support a company that benefits not only him but his entire community? Nothing but pure selfishness will do so, our only concern is personal benefit... say hello to the tragedy of the commons.

If your a scraper like me

I Wonder ! Why !?

That's Against BILL GATES ! And MICROSOFT'S !! RELIGION !!

@@davidwillard7334 They really have not much to say in that. I mean that make a few computer but they are not really computer manufactures. One was a CEO and Microsoft is a software company and a cloud company. All in all its about how much money the computer manufactures can make with their machines and continue selling new machines. I guess the best thing is how we can take these old computers break them down into raw materials and send them back to where they eventually become computers or other electronics. The other thing is working toward doing all this with getting a higher percentage recycled and lowering the cost at the same time.

I'm not one to stand in the way of technology. And you are correct about the pace of technology. It would be nice if gadgets were designed with swappable processors, components, etc, to make the more resilient elements usable for a longer lifecycle while upgrading speed and storage, etc.

If they would only separate electronic parts, and resale them, that would make much diffrence.

Yeah. It was pretty cool to see the materials getting broken down into bits of commodities. Thanks for watching.

adl process @ keele stclair

Hi Rishik. They actually closed this location. Bummer. I think they may have another location. Try Googling their name. That may get you a contact email.

thats grt thnk you

Thanks for watching Braeden. Every view counts. :-)
