 All right, so one of the things that's not really covered enough in this hoppy is Recycling and kind of disposal of electronics once they get to that point where you know you can't fix them anymore and Maybe you're like me and you end up in a situation where you just do not have the room to keep every single thing so I just went through and organized a bunch of stuff in this section of The shop and then I've also gone down into the CRT bunker and cleared out a lot of things from there So I have some things now that I've found that there's really no purpose for me to keep and hold on to because I need space and these parts and things are just useless to me at this point and Rather than simply throwing them in the landfill in the dump I'm going to show you another way to get rid of all this stuff and Actually get a little money back. So let me show you what I'm talking about All right one thing that really can get you a good amount of money is copper wiring and this is all just scrap copper wiring from busted CRTs and PVMs and what you'll notice is there's these big hunks of metal right here And this is just super thick copper wiring and it's actually from the degausing coil that is on the CRTs and so what happens is is the CRTs actually break and You know you've seen that in shipping videos and for whatever reason you end up with extra Cabling a lot of this is just completely extra cabling that I don't have any use for Every time a CRT comes to the shop or I buy one it comes with all the cabling already And so I have so much extra of this that eventually I have to go through and after I scrap a few monitors I have to scrap some of this cabling in the process So there's just a ton of this copper cabling about a half of this box full And it's got this huge reel of old wire That's really thick that I think somebody gave to me for a Dog fence or something a long time ago. I never installed it I'm tired of it being in the shop and it's heavy-duty, so it should bring a couple bucks as other stuff This is just some stuff going to Goodwillie. I'm giving some things back even some retro appliances here No popcorn popper. I don't have space for that and I'll also get rid of my regular Recycling here. I don't get any money for either of these items, but still that's a good way to clean out things now I also have some Shielding in here from busted PVMs. Again, there's no reason for me to keep all this shielding. It's super heavy. It's all metal It's in there. There's also some shielding from other boards and just stuff that's been scrapped off monitors and all the Cabling that would normally be on these is stripped off of it like those degausing coils and everything It's all cut off of these so that it can be separated and hopefully We'll get a little bit of money for this and more for the cabling and then down here I have a bunch of just scrap metal rack mount things that are completely dead and useless also unfortunately. They're just no use for them So outdated technology. It's synchronization panels that are just nothing. So they're going there and then oh, yeah my beer cans At first we're gonna see how it goes up here at the metal recycling place Because they do act a bit sketchy. So I will probably not be able to go and record as I go in there I do believe it's because people steal metals and then obviously try to sell them to places like this to get drug money, so I Understand their reluctancy around anybody or anything. That's dodgy But we're about to pull up to there and we'll see how we come out and then we'll go to the dump Rollin up there now. Let's see what happens when we get in here all right, so we made it through over at the recycler where they will pay you money for scrap metal and whoo, we broke records. I finally crushed a Standard that I had put or a goal and we'll talk about that after we get done up here at the recyclers But we're about to pull in over here. Very nice flowers Going in here at the recycling center and we'll get rid of the stuff that we can't sell Which is just honestly my household glass and Some cardboard. Let's get pulled in here and get rid of the rest of this stuff Because we got a reduced reuse recycled baby the box of glass here. Let's get this out of here All right, great news. Check this out. Our bin is completely empty So you've been able to get rid of all that stuff and recycle every bit of everything you saw in today's video All right, now that that's over with let's take a quick look at my Totals on how much I got paid by the recyclers first off that big bag of aluminum cans you saw that was eight Pounds and here you get 25 cents per pound. So I got it whopping two dollars for that bag of cans All right, so next I want to talk about the big basically scrap metal things which were those old Rack mount pieces as well as all the scrap shielding from the CRTs Believe it or not that weighed 69 pounds, of course 69 pounds We actually ended up getting five dollars and 86 cents for those 69 pounds of scrap metal now the next thing was that box of wiring and wiring harness stuff and All the innards from the electronics and CRTs and that actually had gone up From the last time I was there they were paying a dollar ten a pound of that and our box weighed in at seven pounds So we got seven dollars and seventy cents for just that box of scrap wiring and then finally There was that big spool of wire, which is actually cat five wire It says on here fifty cents a pound nine pounds of that at four dollars and fifty cents for the total there giving us a grand whopping total of $20 and Six cents. So the standard I had set before this was $20. I never thought I would get over $20 from just a little scrap Run here, but hey, we did so that's awesome Maybe next time we could try to get twenty five dollars But that's kind of a normal thing if you're going to be using these electronics Don't always think of things as trash if you cannot reuse the part then Save it up pile it up and recycle it and if it's something that's got metal in it, then it's actually valuable Now like I said the glass stuff is nothing that really is Worth any money in my area. So I just take that to the normal recyclers as well as anything plastic What about CRTs? There are still two more things that you could recycle that I did not today But I do not recycle these items unless I absolutely have to first being the deflection yoke one of these right here You see this look how much copper is in that so you could get a lot of money for this I mean not a lot of money, but a couple bucks back for every one of these But if these are still good and have the right induction then they should be saved now There are times when these can be busted like they'll have a severed line in here or something then it's fine to recycle them But until then you should probably save these because these are not easy to find anymore And then finally of course there are CRTs themselves, and I'm talking about the actual tubes here Again if these are in any kind of working condition even if there's a slight screen burn in them I try to keep them because there are instances where a color can go out completely on these things and then Basically the tube is useless So this is something that should be kept around or Properly disposed of and I'm not really going to get into that into this video Maybe in a future episode we'll do that But you should definitely try to keep these as long as possible if you're able to all right everybody I thank you for joining me on this special Interesting look at how the recycling process goes for old electronics again. You could apply this to anything not just CRTs But CRTs specifically that's what we do here and that's what we got rid of today So let me know what you think with a comment below. Have you ever recycled anything? Have you ever gotten paid for recycling anything like this and what's your highest total? How much have you gotten how many pounds of scrap have you taken in and what's your biggest payday? But thanks again for watching. I'll see you guys next time with some more retro content
