[megaeverythingguy]

[ChunckyMonkey26]

how do you get this job?! o.o

[coondogtheman1234]

Such a waste, the food and the hard drives I can understand but the movies could be saved and the electronics could be fixed up or used for the parts. And what was wrong with the stuffed toys and the NY Jets helmet?

[checkpointmarker]

THATS NOT THE THING YOU FALL INTO...

[smashingstuff09]

You can tell by my user name I was born to work ther .....

[666antyk666]

You Americans are fucked up. Wasting good shoes, clothes and other stuff. You're just fucked up ;/

[ARASHI9900]

え・・・　(´;ω;`)

[doonn1994]

shred a shredder!

[Axiom253]

Ok it can shred....but can it shred itself? and can it blend?

[SteveSabbai]

...why dont you donate that stuff to charity? wat a waste!

[Hypernl]

1:40 Disk 'read' error at sector 666.

[Nicmadis]

Anyone else get this strange mocking smile on their face when they read certain types of recurring posts?

Shredding for the win by the way.

[kittyhunter34]

ahh i saw a game bot go in there

[psxiiuk]

1:40 - my porn!!!

[Armuotas]

Never saw a helmet going in. It looked to round to be "eaten" easily. What happened to it ?

[2v1l]

shred a katana!

[Davewise1965]

Not just rap cd's, but all of the cd's of todays modern rubbish tuneless toneless horrible music. Music that is done by people with absolutely no talent at all. Put all the cd's in and it's good riddance to bad rubbish.

[davetileguy]

how about stickes of DYNOMITE!!

[0rmick]

Blend-Tec has nothing on these guys.

[GWR4079]

How about showing shedding the dead livestock? Sheep, pig, cow, and horse?

[catman72]

and heaven forbid those manufacturers would send those clothes and shoes

to Africa or the amazonas, right? :-(

[0rmick]

@catman72 Good point.

But what about the guys shredding them, couldn't they send them? They're getting paid to get rid of shit, so why not?

[TheSkiddey]

@catman72 costs too much.. greed..

[oneeyedude20]

I feel bad for the guy that has to clean that

[sidewayznut2009]

Its amazing that America would rather waste and pay someone to destroy something than donate to the less fortunate

[Gbust2000]

@sidewayznut2009 well i dont see any other countries doing so either.. Do you hear about the UK or China donating anything to the less fortunate? <.< How about Russia? Germany? Italy? i dont think any states or countries donate anything.. [that helps that much]

[sidewayznut2009]

@Gbust2000 ok they are paying them to destroy it thats the point.

And I'm sure they don't shred shit at min wage its probably expensive like alot more than the price of the thing they are shredding

All I'm saying just give it away. And alot of countries give more percentage wise than the U.S. on a individual level.

[prossiack]

i would love that job too:) exept i would never shred braveheart tape:( 2:03

[MyMIXmedia]

This company is pretty tight ass. Were is the bin under the stredder. There is trash all over the floor, that means they will have to use a bobcat or someone to clean that up, so that equalls more time, and more money

[Kargaroc286]

FUCK YOU

[gaz52]

Which shredder do you find you use the most?

[METH3454]

When Osma Bin Laden get's caught i would LOVE to see him thrown into this Death Chamber but i would slow down the cranks a wee bit just for him , i think it would be more exciting than flying planes into buildings, what do you say people thumbs up ?

[prorobo]

Do people not understand that shredding does NOTHING to reduce volume? So when perfectly good products and clothes (that could be used by those less fortunate) are shredded and end up in a landfill, they take up the same exact amount of space that they would have to begin with.

[Relix90]

@prorobo shredding does alot to reduce volume. Try it yourself. Go out in the mud, make round balls of it and let them dry. then put them in a container of some sort and see how much space they take up. Then stomp on them or smash them in the container, now measure the space taken up. Shredding increases the density of the shredded objects, thereby reducing the size they take up, since they weigh the same. I hope you understand.

[demonxanthwataru]

Shredding serves three purposes:

#1: reduces material into easier to process pieces

#2: reduces volume by reducing air space between objects (branches going through a chipper are a great example)

#3: prevents reuse.

#3 sounds bad, but often companies are forced to shred things because of reasons such as a defect, confidential material, tax reasons, or something that they cannot warranty but would cause harm.

[peepeevagi]

Everything Decays over some period of time. And you can greatly shorten that time by reducing the material to the smallest possible size.

So rather than give everybody some SARS infested clothes, they get shreddered.

[METH3454]

@prorobo What school did you go too ?

[Mrpsychotehpyro]

It helps recycling, those machines do a necessary work, yes.

The Problem is society itself, Products are too short lived.

A then super high tech steam engine from 1790 would be used for 50-100 years.

And it was repaired, over and over again.....

Not nowadays.

Thats whats called corporate intrests and stock market.

Destroy stuff to produce more of it

so our society can rely on larger than natural production and growth

We need a society that is sustainable at ZERO growth.

[surplusdriller]

hey shred a 120mm tank round

hahaha

[Teorispa]

Can shredder destroy schredder?

[o8QWERTYo8]

You know we're all thinking the same thing~~

~~ A LIVE HUMAN 'BILL O'REILLY' INTO THE SHREDDER.

[Snegenad1]

He has the BEST JOB EVER!!! I once asked my teacher; will they also need a paper shredder boy on an office, and this is even better!

[Bamchucknorris]

NOM NOM NOM went the shredder

[rocketmagnet]

This is terrible. Why aren't these "perfectly good" products being re-used. Humans are already producing too much stuff, filling landfill and causing pollution. And you're destroying perfectly good shoes, while people in some countries can't even afford them. You should be ashamed.

[Watcher3223]

Perhaps because some of these perfectly good products may not be so good if you have a chance to scrutinize them.

These products were being destroyed for a good reason, such as, say, a toaster oven that has lived its useful life (in other words, it's broken).

So, what are the alternatives? Store them away or throw them away?

You may as well shred them. A lot of those materials can be recycled as opposed to being thrown away into landfills or incinerators.

[Watcher3223]

Listen to what the guy said more closely:

"Stuff you think is perfectly good we destroy here because companies send it to us after its lifetime is used up."

[TeamGreenGWP]

Why can't the new stuff be sent to youth homes or charitys?? What a waste and a shame.

[godofnoa]

Will it shred? That is the question.

[d1ez3]

1:24 that was loud

[projectdelta50]

what about chuck norris

[Bamchucknorris]

chuck norris will chop the shredder in half with his pinky.

[nipperoid]

no he wont

[Bamchucknorris]

yes he will, he is chuck norris

[nipperoid]

chuck norris will be pwned by ssi

[Bamchucknorris]

chuck norris will destroy ssi with the power of over a trillion Chernobyl reactor explosions with one karate chop :P

[nipperoid]

chernobyl ftw

[nniFymereJ]

chuck norris nerds

[elninohaginho]

I used to do removals for some time and it would happen on a regular basis that companies would ask us to get rid of stuff almost brand new just because they bought newer stuff. big companies care for profit and nothing else - even when they donate they do that to create a better image of the company and that means more profit. the long term effect? 1% of Earth's population has 40% of all the money, 10% holds 90% of it. what a fun system...

[abcdefghiklmnop12345]

Those Hard drives became very fragmented ahahah

[theconcorden]

You don't have to call me monster, I'm not. I dont know all the costs associated with donating and transporting these items, if they were to be donated. And no, I would not give a broken computer to anyone but if it works fine, why not?

[Giordino]

I recently saw a documentary here in Europe about shredding brand new electronics.

The thing is that the manufacturer says it are old models and may not be sold any more not even against heavily reduced prices because that would damage their reputation and brand name !

Clothing usually goes to Africa but the brand labels have to be cut out of the cloths.

[theconcorden]

Why not give the items to goodwill and charities instead?

[jugs554433]

reply to this if u agree bin laden shud go in there

[gunfuego]

would someone put some rap cd's in that thing please....

[jugs554433]

i wud love to XD

[Unrated48]

why not everyone that makes and listen to rap too? XD

[gunfuego]

you, my friend are genius!!!!!

Don't forget to put EMINEM in there....... : )

[VCRAGE]

@gunfuego I'll fuckin put u in it.

[kthankxbye]

Damn Austin is totally hot.

[linchadordepueblo]

shred one plasma tv while tuning pen & teller.

[speedfreak0007]

recycling the american style! :(

[sneezabonk]

@speedfreak0007 The american style is putting every thing in the garbage including recycleables

[liquidgiggles]

how about a full size school bus (children not included)

[Davio88]

season finale could be a full size school bus WITH children included lol

[Goliath1886]

Please shred some cutters that yours machines use.

[DMDz1]

shred another shredder...

[gertgertgert18]

1:28 tezen doos schoenen is geweest

[scott93257]

WOW I want a job there....I have a lot of shit that I need to shred....Totally sweet..

[margaj]

I feel like some of this could have been saved. :/

wastefulness is such an issue.

[tiyenin]

I wonder if there really was anything "outdated, defective, [or] returned" about the oversized stuffed animal -- about anything in the video -- or if this was simply wasteful entertainment.

[slimeball6969]

yes but can it shred another shredder?

[wasup23tube]

lol just imagine someone falling in there XD

[Rybot9000]

Isn't all that stuff bad for us even in its destroyed state?

[BarneySaysHi]

Noooo, not that plushie! Bastards!

[sjbuck]

can this thing shred another SSI Shredder??

[sim82]

No, you need Chuck Norris for that.

[Spongii]

haha I was wondering about that right now, too, it's a 'great' idea : D

[JONthe13th]

LOL, this is kool, what dont they shred ?

[canadianeh24]

so what do you guys do after its shredded? do you try to sort and recycle it?

[captaincavemaaaannn]

When are you going to shread austin?

[Danny19921125]

Those shoes you shred, I can wear that to school or do some freerunning.

Those foods you shred, I can eat it all and it is delicious.

But fun to see them get shred in there. LOL

Recycle those things also will be awesome!

[Karlfalcon]

Okay, the magnetic tape makes me sad.

I know a lot of audio/video companies who re-use and refurbish their tape until the medium is flaking off of the backing.

[BadIdeas101]

hey do the shedders have an "annihilate "button?

[Xeohelioses]

Well, there goes Braveheart on VHS...

[captaincavemaaaannn]

They should do the highlander series too while they are at it. You are no longer imortal!

[mwmoviemaker]

Shred a human!

[Shane1163]

it's sad that we live in such a wasteful society.. and that when it comes to big companies everything is about money! recalled/unsafe or contaminated things that's different, but why do some places destroy returned items?? shameful

[captaincavemaaaannn]

Read the caption at the top.

[ithinklikeacow]

I want one for christmas :-)

[TheEmerald]

I wonder if they recycle or just throw it all away...

[lahluv]

they recycle it

[emu757]

How do they recycle that

[lahluv]

what ever they shred they take out whatever is recyclable and send it to end markets

[bubbacedric]

cool to watch someone that is local ... but you need to have a shred-off between a dog and a shredder with a stuffed toy .. my chow makes it look the same as the big shredder lol

[lowtone10]

those fizzy cans are hilarious 1:17

[MightyJustas]

Are you serious? How does it makes you lough? Its just exploding bottles, whats so funny about it..

[cooleycole93]

In fairness, I don't think it makes anyone 'lough'.

[ToricoUK]

lough made me laugh

[Shane1163]

lmao.. this convo made me "lough"

[M4X1994]
