Scrap collecting Melbourne Australia

O.K, so at the moment we are having our "spring clean" kind of thing, we call it hard rubbish collection. basically you throw out all your unwanted crap (stuff that will not go in your trash cans)

I told you guys in another thread I would do some daylight videos...

This is my local area, all within about 10 miles around my place.

Sorry for the crappy phone vid quality, but you get the idea

Cheers,

Adam.







..another street..







My first run pick ups.






I did a second run, but gotta go to work soon, so I will upload that tomorrow

Peace.

That's cool thanks for the tour. We have the same thing here in Arvada, CO, goes over three weeks and the city is divided in thirds. Scrapping in a Benz, now that is classic.

LOL, yeah, a Benz that was saved from the crusher 6 mths ago, owes me $300

I have to stay close to home though, fuel here is at $1.70 per litre, which is like $6.50 AUD a Gallon!!!!!!!!!

Thats why no one really scraps in full sized trucks like y'all do. Even a 4 cylinder benz costs me $98 to fill the tank, and I get about 440km range (275 miles!!!)


So I NEVER wanna hear you lot complain about the cost of fuel!!


Thanks.

But you're all driving on the wrong side of the street - how do you keep from having more accidents?

^^ we are a skilled lot down here Mick!

Thanks guys, sorry about that private thing, made a wrong mouse click...Try it now, thats the best one, its the vid of my first full load of the day

hey cukoo!

Well the Torker man thing comes from my other hobby, Vintage BMX. I am a collector of Torker BMX products, so if anyone had questions relating to that brand, it was like "go ask the Torker man, he'll know"

Then it stuck from there


Here is load No 2.. it was just a small one as I was running out of time,,

All I can say is "that is pretty dang awesome!" Sure wish we had something like that here in Louisiana. Congrats Torker Man!

cheers mate I just wish my trailer and the Land Rover were going, it hurts just driving by fridges, ovens, A/C units etc.. Its like seeing a $20 note on the ground but not stopping to pick it up!!


Man, on my way to work this afternoon, I passed 1 pile that had 2 window a/c, and 4 split system a/c units!!!!!!!! Nooooooooooooooooooooooooooo!!! Oh well, make the best with what you have I guess...
