From Peter: “I’m chasing items nearly every household has and doesn’t want or is broken.
I totally dismantle them into piles of plastic , copper, aluminium etc and everything gets recycled .the same thing planet ark do , you’ve prob seen bins in the shops asking for old phones. Except I do all the items listed and not just phones .i recycle items Such as.
Mobile phones,
Computers,
Laptops,
Desktop boxes,
Car/bike batteries,
Bathroom fixtures such as taps ,
Shower roses or any other bits of brass
Any kind of electrical wire.
Jewellery even if it’s only gold or silver plated.
Plates, glasses etc with gold or silver on them , so if u break a glass or plate etc , plz let me dispose of it.
Christmas balls and ornaments (strip the metallic coatings with acid then the plain glass is added to glass recycling bin)
Diabetic test strips.

And people have been understandably worried about their information on hard drives so this pic shows once I’m finished with them, they’re rendered useless and safe.
If you have any of these items , I would love to save them from landfill.
If you’d like to share this , you will find it on my timeline and it can be shared from there

Please keep me in mind when people have received new phones , computers etc for xmas and the old ones are chucked out.”

Find him in the Zero Waste + Plastic Free Living Perth WA Facebook Group

I was very honoured to meet Peter. He’s very down to Earth and has his heart in the right place when it comes to doing his bit to make this world a better place to live in. I had to cut out quite a bit of footage as I wanted to get the meat of the information and have also created a separate bonus video with Peter’s other ventures. I am looking forward to collaborate with him to share more information on the processes and anything else reSource related. Thank you to Peter for giving me 1 of 6 spare gas cylinders that he rescued too.

Paras note: I’m looking for more people like this to feature in the reSource YouTube channel. If you know someone doing good in Perth please do get us connected so we can spread the word.

Bonus: Peter Rudd – Gold Prospecting & DIY

Peter showed me how he resourced materials to create the trommel while out prospecting for gold.
