HOW IT WORKS - Computer Recycling | Free Documentary
Пікірлер
I have a friend that taught me how to do this in his garage, back in the late 1980's. Obviously we didn't do it on a scale as large as this though. We would drive around and find electronic equipment being thrown away, take it to his house and separate the parts and pieces. We would take the metal housing and other parts to the recycling plant as well. It does take a lot of computers and stereos and televisions to make an ingot though. In fact, sometimes it would take a few months of collecting and smelting to make any money though. The best time to collect is spring, when many are cleaning their houses, and the Christmas season, when people are throwing out their old stuff to make room for their new stuff. He also had a large bin in front of his house with a sign saying to throw old electronics in for recycling, as well as an ad in the newspaper.

I had a customer years ago who recycled computer trash for big corporations. He also hauled off copiers.They would pay him $20 each to disconnect them and haul them away. Part of his contract required wiping the hard drives clean. Spot checks were made by grabbing a few computers and trying to see if there was any data on them. After he'd gotten the precious metals he had a scrap yard buying the steel from the cases. Another company bought the ABS plastic and ground it into pellets. It would then be purified and made into things using steam injection into molds. GE used to be a big buyer of ABS plastic. Even the plugs on telephone cords and telephone jacks had 50 mils of gold on them. He also got to keep all the power strips even brand new ones in the packages. When a company buys a thousand computers they start with everything new even the battery backups. In the end he had very little scrap that needed to go to the dump.

One correction, please: at 5:40 near the end, under "Did you know?": the term carat is applied by error as it is only used for the weight of gemstones and diamonds. It was indeed based on the carob seed (that weighs quite accurately 0.2 grams). However, this video talks about gold, where fineness is expressed in karat (not carat), which has nothing to do with weight, or the carob seed.

The sad truth is that most computers still work completely fine aside from a single component. I've been to many recycling centers and scrapyards, gotten computers from them, and they still work just fine. I'm not talking old stuff either. i7 6950x systems with 1000W PSUs, 500gb Samsung SSDs, 4TB hard drives. HP Elitebook 840 G2s. It's pretty sad how much stuff gets tossed for no reason that still works just fine and is super nice. 4GB DDR3 sticks are also super easy to come by. Most people will give you this stuff for free or very close to it. So in a lot of ways, companies could make tons more by reselling the components or even complete systems.

I should've saved all the ones I tossed out over the years :( What I think is truly funny about this, though, is that they extract all the gold from the other parts and _sell it back_ to the companies that make processors.

+Admiral Ackbar The actual die is a silicon wafer and the metal that forms the the circuits inside the wafer is normally aluminum. The circuits inside the wafer are called "gates" which are either open or closed (1 or 0 in binary code). It's the metals outside the wafer but part of the CPU as a whole that are so diverse. On CPU's that plug into a socket, the pins are made of an exotic alloy called "Kovar" that has the same thermal qualities of expansion and contraction as borosilicate glass. This allows the entire CPU to heat and cool without causing stress fractures and structural failure. The Kovar is an alloy that contains iron, nickel and cobalt. CPU's also contain copper, silver, palladium, tin and aluminum. Palladium (Pd) is very toxic when dissolved (in an ionic state) to all living things as is all platinum group metals (PGM's). Nickel and cobalt are heavy metals and when condensed in the refining process, can exceed the LD50 quickly upon medium exposure.

Easily a third of the produced electric waste is not recycled, and a high percentage is just recycled thermally and an alarming amount is shipped off to Africa where you forgo the cost intensive process of recycling and just burn the stuff for easy access to copper. Not only is this causing severe environmental damage but also is wasting the more valuable materials.

Anyone expecting accurate information out of one of the "How it works" documentaries is a fool. The most glaring (of many) is where they stated that the carat was the measure of gold purity, which is absolutely wrong. The carat is a unit of measure for the weight of gemstones. Karat is the unit of measure of gold purity - with 24 karat being pure gold. It is a linear scale, so 12 k is 50% gold and 50% other metals.

I learned more about the uses and fabrication of salvaged gold then computer recycling. What happens to the rest of the computer parts?
I have a friend that taught me how to do this in his garage, back in the late 1980's. Obviously we didn't do it on a scale as large as this though. We would drive around and find electronic equipment being thrown away, take it to his house and separate the parts and pieces. We would take the metal housing and other parts to the recycling plant as well. It does take a lot of computers and stereos and televisions to make an ingot though. In fact, sometimes it would take a few months of collecting and smelting to make any money though. The best time to collect is spring, when many are cleaning their houses, and the Christmas season, when people are throwing out their old stuff to make room for their new stuff. He also had a large bin in front of his house with a sign saying to throw old electronics in for recycling, as well as an ad in the newspaper.

As a electric technolog I love this kind of videos :)
I had a customer years ago who recycled computer trash for big corporations. He also hauled off copiers.They would pay him $20 each to disconnect them and haul them away. Part of his contract required wiping the hard drives clean. Spot checks were made by grabbing a few computers and trying to see if there was any data on them. After he'd gotten the precious metals he had a scrap yard buying the steel from the cases. Another company bought the ABS plastic and ground it into pellets. It would then be purified and made into things using steam injection into molds. GE used to be a big buyer of ABS plastic. Even the plugs on telephone cords and telephone jacks had 50 mils of gold on them. He also got to keep all the power strips even brand new ones in the packages. When a company buys a thousand computers they start with everything new even the battery backups. In the end he had very little scrap that needed to go to the dump.
R.I.P. old computers, I will miss you! I always loved you.
What's sad is the computers that still had life in it are trashed.
@@fwingebritson at least take the hard drive.
One correction, please: at 5:40 near the end, under "Did you know?": the term carat is applied by error as it is only used for the weight of gemstones and diamonds. It was indeed based on the carob seed (that weighs quite accurately 0.2 grams). However, this video talks about gold, where fineness is expressed in karat (not carat), which has nothing to do with weight, or the carob seed.
Thanks! I noticed that too.
Learn this lesson, kids: it's never about the environment. It's ALWAYS about the money! Bwahahhaha
Yep. "Recycle" is good for the environment lol.. We all know it's a fraud
Money uber alles
it isn't profitable to recycle computers which is why it cost money to recycle them. The chemicals are expensive, transporting cost, you have to breakdown each component, and them sort them.
@@WhyDoThat exactly what is profit on gold after extraction?
@@nolickspittle4753 It is largely variable on how you can obtain the parts. Most PC parts aren't going to be worth the chemicals to get the gold. You are at best breaking even with labor unless you have a really good source for older and very particular parts. If you were just recycling w/e you were given. You would be taking a loss disposing of them.
The sad truth is that most computers still work completely fine aside from a single component. I've been to many recycling centers and scrapyards, gotten computers from them, and they still work just fine. I'm not talking old stuff either. i7 6950x systems with 1000W PSUs, 500gb Samsung SSDs, 4TB hard drives. HP Elitebook 840 G2s. It's pretty sad how much stuff gets tossed for no reason that still works just fine and is super nice. 4GB DDR3 sticks are also super easy to come by. Most people will give you this stuff for free or very close to it. So in a lot of ways, companies could make tons more by reselling the components or even complete systems.
I wish I had something like that in my area, people are so uneducated about computers and I've seen some insane deals on marketplace though
@@zuccerworm8402 If there are any scrapyards in your area, there's a good chance you might be able to find stuff there. The people at those places usually have no idea about the actual value of the components. They usually just care how much gold is showing. So if you can find a PC you might want to take, just shove a bunch of other good stuff inside. That way they won't see the gold, just the metal case.
@@novertrunnions2721 Ahhhhh thanks, I'll give it a go and check out the area
@@novertrunnions2721 We have scrap yards, but I do the opposite. I gather wire from any discarded electrical/electronic items (I belong to a computer club.) When I have 20 or 30 lbs I bring them to the scrap yard, and they pay me for the copper by weight.
I love how they make it sound so easy lol, they don't show how many thousands and thousands of ol PC's it takes to make a gold bar like the one they showed. I watched a guy cut off the teeth of about 60 memory sticks one day, put it in numerous solutions and then over a kiln, the total time he had into this occurred over 5 days, he pulled 1.8 grams of gold lol, that's like getting paid .60 cents an hour
There's gold in them there microprocessors!
Easier to extract gold from computer parts than pan it in nature.

I used to know a guy who had lived on the streets for decades and salvaged all the metal he could find (that was valuable enough, of course) and told me you could salvage gold from CPUs. I should've saved all the ones I tossed out over the years :( What I think is truly funny about this, though, is that they extract all the gold from the other parts and _sell it back_ to the companies that make processors.
They will ask you for a certificate. Too many rules regarding gold. No. Ask the local jewel shop. The have to stick to the current market value of gold.
OKสุดยอดอีหลีน่าทึ่งมาก
Processors have nothing but gold metal? Sure, if you exclude all of the iron, copper, nickel, tin, cobalt and a few other heavy metals.
+BassJoga24 Black metal, norwegian death metal, hair metal...
+Geo Baby Metal
+Admiral Ackbar The actual die is a silicon wafer and the metal that forms the the circuits inside the wafer is normally aluminum. The circuits inside the wafer are called "gates" which are either open or closed (1 or 0 in binary code). It's the metals outside the wafer but part of the CPU as a whole that are so diverse. On CPU's that plug into a socket, the pins are made of an exotic alloy called "Kovar" that has the same thermal qualities of expansion and contraction as borosilicate glass. This allows the entire CPU to heat and cool without causing stress fractures and structural failure. The Kovar is an alloy that contains iron, nickel and cobalt. CPU's also contain copper, silver, palladium, tin and aluminum. Palladium (Pd) is very toxic when dissolved (in an ionic state) to all living things as is all platinum group metals (PGM's). Nickel and cobalt are heavy metals and when condensed in the refining process, can exceed the LD50 quickly upon medium exposure.
The most important is the silicon
Sorry for such a alte response, you are very smart, but how should they extract all of that other stuff? without loosing gold or any other minerals and would it be profitable enough to follow-trough, or just too expensive in terms of chemicals and refinery needed, than just dissolving by ignoring all of that just to get the gold.
That was really fascinating and makes me want to start collecting old base units but there's no room in my man cave hmmmm!

I had a job at a place like this, wasn't the best job in terms of pay or conditions but it was fun. I would often rebuild working computers or find working parts for people who needed them. Was good. Pull CRT TVs apart is a bitch, they are heavy, unwieldy and full of shit that gives you cancer.
thanks for the info. actually... people thinks everything is happy and green
***** Probably, I was made redundant but not because of china, the factory owner was a fuckwit and was not following council guidelines he was hoarding a large amount of surplus CRTVs to the point it was becoming dangerous due to the huge pile and so he was closed down. It was a fun job I would not have stayed regardless due to the pay.

Well another excellent video about the recycling process. Sadly this video fails to mention that this is atm highly depending on its economic feasibility. Easily a third of the produced electric waste is not recycled, and a high percentage is just recycled thermally and an alarming amount is shipped off to Africa where you forgo the cost intensive process of recycling and just burn the stuff for easy access to copper. Not only is this causing severe environmental damage but also is wasting the more valuable materials.

Anyone expecting accurate information out of one of the "How it works" documentaries is a fool. The most glaring (of many) is where they stated that the carat was the measure of gold purity, which is absolutely wrong. The carat is a unit of measure for the weight of gemstones. Karat is the unit of measure of gold purity - with 24 karat being pure gold. It is a linear scale, so 12 k is 50% gold and 50% other metals.
