So there's this guy... That worked HARD to get a brick and mortar, became successful, and STILL takes us along to do those dirty jobs that most stop doing after success arrives. This is exactly why you are my Absolute Favorite inspiration. Because it's not a Job or a Work form... It's a lifestyle. Most humans don't have, never have had, nor will ever have that magnificent quality. Thank you for being that man. You do more for people than most ever will. ❤️

Have you ever been approached by the police while dumpster diving? My brother in law is a scrapper and was once charged for trespassing while dumpster diving. They tacked on a public nuisance charge to boot and the charges stuck. This was in New Jersey. I imagine the companies might consider it a liability if a dumpster diver is injured on their property, but otherwise it is just being draconian.
@amisun97685 жыл бұрын
That's because nj is full of shit!! They rather put good stuff in a landfill than let it be recycled and used. NJ sucks. Most places have a no trespassing sign if they don't want you dumpster diving.

Open the boxes of broken wine glasses usually 1 or 2 broken...and one or 2 are good..you could have still saved those two Christmas trees and fixed the one that had the part and repurposed the other.. Everything in those dumpsters can’t be perfect.. You have to put a little blood sweat and tears into fixing them and show what being a dumpster diver is all about..You don’t like to get your hands dirty..I am a 50 yr old woman.. I do it! I even get caught. I don’t even lie about the boxes..I tell the.m I am diving. They don’t care! They are used to people doing it!

@ 23:15 - Maybe you could have used those price stickers in your store at some point. And the nice quilted bubble wrap sheeting. That's the good stuff there! I always grab it when I find it. Like you, one of the dumpsters I check is a PetSmart - and a PetCo (I think that's the name). A few nights ago I watched a video where you pulled a bunch of dog food from PetSmart's dumpster and donated it to the local pet rescue. The very next morning I found 3 large bags of dog food in PetSmart's dumpster. 48lbs in total, with an expiration date of Aug 2020. They usually cut the pet food bags and dump it into the dumpster, but this time they left those bags intact. They're the more expensive brands and I checked to make sure they weren't recalled. So our small dog now has enough food to last through the next year or more.
