Ecoscrapper

Documenting my scrapping/recycling hobby and maybe anything else that might be interesting while on my adventures.
I started off litter picking, aluminum cans mostly, then started picking up metal. Found a few car wheels, tvs etc and it snowballed from there.

Trying to make the world a cleaner and more sustainable place by recycling all what i find and make a few ££ (very few!) along the way.

Any feedback would be greatly appreciated but be kind :)
I've learnt a huge amount frim other channels so hopefully i can help a few along the way.

Happy scrapping and look after your world :)

    That's pretty cool. People are starting to know to call you for scrap. Probably make a few good friends out of it, too. That's a great deal for the grinder. I bought a used one and it was $60 Canadian, but needed two new wheels. It's a bit heavier duty, but I didn't need anything that heavy for what I'm doing. Nice update on the workshop plans. Have a great summer, Chris.

    That's crazy that it's been 2 years. I recently bought a bunch of electronics from a mini storage place and there was a lot of gaming stuff. So far we have two fully working NES units with duck hunt and mario, plus several playstations of different models, xboxes, and a sega genesis. Pretty cool.

    @@ecoscrapper3501 I got a 64 as well. The electronics guy says they sell really well because people want them for some sort of speed gaming. He's looking after testing, fixing and selling, and I then get more than scrap value for them, plus he gets work out of it too.
