Trash Day 2006 - The Mother Load (HQ)

- This is it - the biggest one ever. Watch, listen, and perhaps even salivate as 1.5 tons worth of TV's, VCR's, and more get crushed to bits. It took 3 trash guys almost 15 minutes to load it all, but I have compressed it into 10 minutes by using time-lapse on some segments. The result is something I'm sure you will enjoy!
Originally part of the Junkpile DVD, I'm now publishing this for free viewing as a gift to my many fans. Enjoy.

Jan. 2017:
To those who have criticized me for supposedly throwing out "valuable antiques"; I can assure you there was nothing here of any monetary value whatsoever. I recycle any copper and aluminum, and sell any collectible items on eBay. If something collectible was thrown out, it must have been broken and worthless. -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
PLEASE NOTE : AS OF 2017, ALL OF MY E-WASTE IS NOW RECYCLED!
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
At the time this video was recorded, e-waste recycling facilities did not exist in my area. - Komedie
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
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!

if i saw that on the side of the road i would have said "jackpot!"
Well you wouldnt cuz this world is full of asses that dont even give a frick to homeless pepole
@@springbonnie2382 Most homeless have buddies, They sit on the road asking for money. They switch off. Get the money and split it then go buy cigarettes and beer along with their drugs
we wouldn't have picked it up. because televisions and most electronic devices aren't allowed in our landfill.
Same here about 5 years ago I think it is when this was banned from dumps.
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.
Man I wish there was a pile of electronics like that for me to dig through
Same here
You could have made HUGE dollars selling all this junk what a waste
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, they would be gone within a heartbeat! Man I freaking love collecting vintage TV's and electronics!
the copper and aluminum were removed and recycled - I got about $200 worth out of this stuff....
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.
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😃
that was surprisingly intense and very interesting to watch. :)
This is how the German postal service delivers packages
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..
UPS TRAINING DAY!
ez dealz cat in back grond
All of that alone is going to make that truck hit the landfill 😂
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.
Unlikely - by this point I was stripping 99% of the copper, aluminum, and brass from these sets.
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.
That is ALOT! Great job!
Indeed... Where I live there is a recycling facility near the transfer station, so much gets recycled around here.
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...
Awesome video.
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.
i recognize this video......
if im not mistaken it was taken at a Canadian Target the day they shut down....although it's hard to tell because i dont remember my store having this much merchandise on its shelves at any point.
if you look carefully you can see my broken dreams next to a box of UP and UP tissues....
*WAH WAH*
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.
Well done good job guys 👍
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
How do you know he didn't make arrangements to get this picked up? Maybe he called ahead of time and paid up front.
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.
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
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.
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.
This scared WALL-E
+Robert Kessel LoL. This would give WALL-E a run for his money.
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 !!
DateTime69 couldn't agree more mate
You're right.
incredible crushing power
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.
The Eco geeks are loving this..
I agree
Yeah a lot of that could have been RECYCLED
danwat1234 yeah recylc
Kayleb Self yup
This company does recycle it's garbage. That is their specialty.
I doubt that pile was recycled. How do you know?
How do you know that it wasn't?
Oh.....sweet!
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 =]
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...
Michael Dodge Trump is doing a good job of that mate!
He said he salvaged what he could sell and got rid of the rest
@@JonnyBlueChair lazy comment, probably from a Brit.
Satisfaction compaction.
Dam it'll been great if you had a front end loader around!
Makes more sense to use a bulldozer than to manually pick up each item by hand
@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.
Merry Christmas CZcams buddy! Hopper New Year.
Ups collection lorry!! ups we lost it again.
These old guys work faster than some younger guys in other videos
That was crazy............
This load has more scrap value than you realize. Some scrapper would be 😢 or itching to take this stuff apart .
i would die for alll of those elctronics lots of value still with copper and metal.
whats the crushing force on the bin lorry crusher?
Reminds me of mighty machines.
nice action
im a garbage man myself and was silently thanking my lucky stars throughout this video that you arent on my trash route. cool video
2.00£ For Your Paycheck
Alright thanks man.
Woh! That was pretty cool! never knew a dustcart was capable of crushing stuff like this, I like it when they leave the packer up, load the hopper to the brim then bring down the crusher and it's history! Anyway, where does all this go?
BTW, The value of that must have been $2,000,000+ when new!
How do you end up with so much stuff!?
the guy on the crush button has a racket
This looks illegal.
it is, because of the lead that CRT screens contain
Once upon a time this used to be legal. all the way up through the 90s, early 2000s you could dump electronics like this. it was mid to late 2000s when alot of states started clamping down on e-waste. I remember dumpster diving at computer shops and finding treasures. Cant anymore.
This is one thing that got my local landfill SHUT DOWN for quite a while !!!!!
DAMN!!! Did a television studio close operations? What’s with all the frickin TV’s???
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.
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....
I Think Most of those Tv still work
Will they recycle materials that can be ?
Hopefully, but I have my doubts.
What's up with all the tv's?
I would have taken one of those TV's for my video games! I'm sure there was some video game console hidden in there!
In the beginning I hear a stray cat meowing
thats a scrap man's dream right there
Just pick up the TV's like they weigh nothing.
Crushing all stuff small pieces and with Tv's very nice sound yeah :😁
and anyway, that pile is sweet sweet overtime for me, lol
Aaawww poor televisions
Do those go to recycle or landfill?
為何電視丟掉的那麼多
were do you get all of this stuff???
You did melt the gold right?
all that copper :o
Quit A few Antiques on these videos that should have been put on ebay instead of the junk pile
WOW
All that e-waste!!!! Mercury an etc omg!!!
lots of scrap metal and copper
first video I ever saw on CZcams.
Leave the blade up, put more in the hopper
jo material!!!
I don't put out piles like this anymore, I don't do nearly as much with electronics now, plus there have since been some disputes with the trash company (not related to this, believe it or not)

There was alot of copper going into the back of that truck
its amazing the stuff u will find and its resale value. but i thought it was illegal(even in 2009) to send tvs and electronics to the dump bc of lead mostly.
me too
@heiltruckfan yeah those Heil 5000 are starting to win me over, pretty decent trucks! Where is that thunder storm guy? heard from, him lately?
PCBs have value, But it's time consuming to prepare it all.
The only people who ever took TVs from the pile were young punks, taking them to throw off a nearby bridge....
No, they just moved the truck so they wouldn't have to carry stuff so far. The pile was about 30 feet long after all....
Tons of scrap metal in there.🤑
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.
Damn, you totally killed the resale value on any of that.
You know these pepole are dicks
Those two guys
Its like watching the footage of a bigfoot video
This Heil 5000 packer does a better job of crushing the bulk than the EZ-Pack I've seen in your other vids. All the EZ-Pack does is push the trash out of the hopper.
Someone was a hoarder.
