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!

Felt sorry for the guy at the side pressing that heavy button whilst the other 2 guys had the easy job of loading 1.5 tonnes of crap

If I saw that, they would be gone within a heartbeat! Man I freaking love collecting vintage TV's and electronics!

This is so satisfying to watch. The one concern I have though is the mercury vapor in those CRTs. I didn't even think people were allowed to throw those things into the trash.

..many thanks for that real great video... and merry christmas!!!

if i saw that on the side of the road i would have said "jackpot!"

Amazing amount of old TV's. excellent video. I subbed. Keep those video's coming.

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. Im glad i still have pics of that time😃

we wouldn't have picked it up. because televisions and most electronic devices aren't allowed in our landfill.

Yea people used to leave them in random places around the city but now there is a hefty fine for dumping. I haven’t seen many lately. I guess with cameras everywhere now people have stopped doing it.

You could have made HUGE dollars selling all this junk what a waste

Awesome video.

I still have about 75+ other sets I kept for my collection, ranging from the late 40's to mid 80's. They'll probably end up in the landfill too, unless I find someone who wants them.

This is how the German postal service delivers packages

the copper and aluminum were removed and recycled - I got about $200 worth out of this stuff....

that was surprisingly intense and very interesting to watch. :)

Indeed... Where I live there is a recycling facility near the transfer station, so much gets recycled around here.

That is ALOT! Great job!

All of that alone is going to make that truck hit the landfill 😂

UPS TRAINING DAY!

I'm managing, can't lift anything heavy anymore but it doesn't matter, I don't go rounding up old TVs like I used to. I do strip the copper out of these before junking them BTW..

Unlikely - by this point I was stripping 99% of the copper, aluminum, and brass from these sets.

As I said before, recyclables like copper and aluminum were already removed. Old microwaves are by far the best source of copper, if you have a way to cut the transformers apart and remove it.

all of this TVs had a huge value they shouldn't be crushed in a garbage truck they should be loaded a normal truck and sent to a recycling center

Well done good job guys 👍

nice action

Merry Christmas KZread buddy! Hopper New Year.

Wow thats a lot of stuff nice video!I know myself i sure would love to have looked throught that stuff for the metals and copper and even a vcr that mite still work...

Satisfaction compaction.

I'm glad to hear that! Thanks for the offer but I have a shop that sells refurbished TV's for $5.00-$20.00. They're that cheap because they're the old Wooden ones or the plastic wood grain ones.

Considering what it would cost to ship these things, I couldn't even give them away on eBay. But I kept most of the best sets for my collection... see my other vids for a tour of them.

incredible crushing power

@packrat79 There is about 5 dollars worth of copper in each one of those tv's. Big or small, they still have about the same amount. I used to work at a scrapyard, and older tv's like those are like gold to us.

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.

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.

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.

That was crazy............

Oh.....sweet!

Alright thanks man.

More like 500-700 cents. This stuff was mostly plastic, glass, and wood... it wouldn't have been worth the time to recycle the steel. I did, however, remove most of the copper and aluminum.

clearly, this is somebody who's running a business out of his home, & I bet he didn't even give the men a tip for cleaning up all of this crap! if I'd been on the truck, I would have just called a supervisor before going ahead and picking this up

DAMN!!! Did a television studio close operations? What’s with all the frickin TV’s???

packrat79, I would that the biggest part you forgot about, was the leaded glass and all of that phospor that covers the front inside of these tubes.

Reminds me of mighty machines.

whats the crushing force on the bin lorry crusher?

I am amazed, I thought I've seen some nasty clean-up piles... but this officialy beats them all! Where did all that come from?! After all the compaction that occured, this must've filled at least a 1/3 of the truck?! You have some awesome clean-up videos, keep them coming =]

How do you end up with so much stuff!?

Ups collection lorry!! ups we lost it again.

Wtf most of that could've been scrapped/recycled. Unless if there's a station to sort things out, it makes us Americans look bad...

lots of scrap metal and copper

jo material!!!

What's up with all the tv's?

to see a video like this and the reckless disregard for the environment with the incorrect disposal and /or recycling of hazardous materials such as lead and phosphorous to name a few from the televisions at least only drives home the point the need for responsible handling of E-waste.along with other hazardous materials . What landfill did this wind up in? there will be a Bugger price to pay for this !!

There was alot of copper going into the back of that truck

Hey so thats were the 90s ended up you can take all of it with you but Give Us Back Our Cartoons

In the beginning I hear a stray cat meowing

i would love to have a pile like that to pickup, i love when the tvs explode when you pack them up. a big tv would shake the truck and blast you with a burst of air.

He collects the TVs for copper.

Oh ok so i guess the copper was got too?

3:20 😎

Someone was a hoarder.

Breathing in all that picture tube glass dust was not a good idea.

board already

Hopefully the guys didn't breathe in the phosphorus that coats the inside of the tubes as they were crushed. I'm not sure how toxic it is but it cant be too healthy.

PCBs have value, But it's time consuming to prepare it all.

Hope you gave them a Christmas Tip...

Leave the blade up, put more in the hopper

and anyway, that pile is sweet sweet overtime for me, lol

me too

This would piss me off if I was a trash guy.

that better be recycling

The only people who ever took TVs from the pile were young punks, taking them to throw off a nearby bridge....

cooper 2.80$ per pound tv ciurcuit board 0.75$ per pound computer board 1.50$-3.00$ per pound metal 0.55$ per pound plastic 0.35$ per pound total value (estimate 700 1.000$)

I think garbage men are actually forbidden from taking anything they find on their run because it would slow down the work if they checked everything for whether or not they can use it...

No, I would never throw out a video game console. I've still got lots of old CRT TV's if you want to buy one....

Tons of scrap metal in there.🤑
