Crushing Old Appliances

HUNDREDS of old appliances get crushed to bits by a huge garbage truck. This is a promotional clip for a full-hour DVD I have produced, available from the site mentioned therein.

Such a waste... over the years I've seen so much waste. We live in a throwaway economy where it is cheaper to throw away the old and buy new. Thing is people need to stop thinking about money so much and start thinking about resources. I bet most of that could have been re-purposed, repaired and/or reused for years to come. Instead it ended up in some landfill I'm sure.

Yes most of this stuff could have been repaired for reuse, unfortunately it isn't worth my time since nobody wants to buy used appliances like this anymore.

I did however remove the recyclables like copper and aluminum.

[DOUGIE1979]

you should have removed the metal before disposing of, silly man!!!

[packrat79]

All copper and aluminum was stripped from this stuff and recycled, but the steel was not worth recycling (at $60 a ton).

[smartassstevie]

could make money scrapping a bunch of that junk

[packrat79]

I stripped this stuff of recyclables like copper and aluminum, and made some money that way. What's left is totally worthless.

[packrat79]

No, it gets sent into outer space

[chrisstv1979]

Just you wait, in time to come all TVs and monitors will need to be disposed properly because TVs and Monitors contain hazardous chemicals such as led that should not be put into the landfill.

@packrat79 first the enviroment than your wallet you stupid earthling!

[paranormaalutrecht]

This is SO BAD FOR THE ENVIROMENT YOU HAVE TO RECYCLE THEM FIRST BARBARIAN PEOPLE!

[confuse]

omg can the jaws of this machine be stopped?

[9020powrmax]

One way to get rid of a FUCKLOAD of tv's. LOL....

[robloxpwnmaster3]

and this is what they make out of ipods and touchscreens out of old crappy tvs

[ScrapyardT]

This is the poorest and the most stupid waste company I´ve seen because this company still hasn´t been able to understand that there are dozens of monitors, TV´s ,microwave ovens etc. at each collection point on the trash days. Each appliance contains copper ,aluminium ,gold and dangerous heavy metals like lead and mercury so electronic waste must be recycled corectly in waste recycling companies not be sent to landfill. How many trash days will have to pass so that the company understannd this?

Converting the whole of new york into a garbage dump would last the country 2000 years.

[SteveSabbai]

...it would be funny if after all the stuff was crushed a person from the tv show Antiques Roadshow walked by and said " Omg! you just destroyed a priceless piece from the 1800's that was worth $1million dollars!"...

[dave2kgti]

An area of 34sq miles has enough landfill space to last 1000 years.

Surely by then things would of improved somewhat.

As for metal, well theres no need to worry, theres enough to last pretty much forever

[confuse]

holy carp that was great but i hope you swept the glass off the road afterwards
