Amazing Trash & Treasure Hunting Custom Lightning McQueen Dyson Mega Haul & Legal Problems

Kerbside cleanup MEGA study of valuable Trash & Treasure that's up for grabs. This is the Australian Summer 2023 cleanup and what I find this time around is amazing. Of course there is lots of Made In China rubbish and some of it isn't very old. Just incredible to find a $1000 near new Carpet Cleaner and $700 new DeWalt line trimmer. If I see items that are not made in China I focus on them. By seeing the quality of items made in Japan, made in Australia or wherever we start to understand how good older consumer goods are. In this way the rubbish piles talk to us and are hopefully indicating to us the perils of consistently buying cheap Made In China rubbish which becomes fast landfill. I find a record number of Dyson vacuum cleaners, and none of these are spring chickens. One of them was destroyed by vacuuming up plaster dust. The Summer time cleanup coincides with Christmas decorations around homes. I do look over one of the best light display houses in the suburb right on dusk even if my iPhone struggled.
In this video I remember a fantastic Australian KZbinr. Edward "Ed" Jones (1986 - May 29, 2019, aged 32, known more commonly as Aussie50 was an Australian KZbinr who uploaded content about technology, gaming and engineering mainly in his shed from late-2008 to mid-2019. I learned lots of things Aussie50's videos, Ed was a very intelligent person who explained electronics and engineering in plain English. He had a passion for scrap stuff and hacking just about everything he touched.
This is a long video, I don't expect anyone to watch it in one hit. There's a lot of amazing finds along the way and this time around I revisit rubbish piles as they evolve. It's amazing what gets picked up as valuable trash.
I did have a serious run in with a local who said I had no permission to video the rubbish that's put out for council collection. This local was aggressive and threatening. It had me delay this upload while I looked into the rights of video recording rubbish in a public space. Remember this rubbish is put out on the curbside outside of a property boundary. I'm also careful not to identify which house the rubbish comes from. In fact I never speak about streets to identify exactly where I am. Anyway this run in with the local nutcase did have me pull up the video.

Interesting with those Coles little shop plastic trollies, in the UK we have a supermarket chain called Marks and Spencer’s that also had a “little shop” series like Coles, however I remember the trolleys and baskets being made of metal instead of plastic, so I suppose they were better quality than those plastic Coles ones. Makes you wonder how hypocritical these companies can be though.

Now this is a classic Leo Haul documentary

0:18 Bluey and Bingo celebrating the arrival of Leo as he sifts through the junk piles

[@junimoony]

A new trash and treasure hunting video? My morning is starting beautifully!

[@UHGuac]

watching this video is like reliving my childhood and i could not be more pleased to see that leo is still doing well and doing what he enjoys. Thank You.

[@milkytales]

I really can’t stress how important charity shops are. I’m lucky to have one (Vinnies) in the town where I live, as well as being a 15 minute train journey to Newcastle, where there are heaps of charity shops. I like to donate a little extra money when I can to these shops as well. 🤝

[@leokimvideo]

One thing I have really noticed since we have come out of the 'lockdown' is the Charity shops in my area ( Hornsby ) now have prices set that are VERY expensive. They have also set up signs indicating you can't bargain or ask for a discount. I have a saying milkytales and it's simple 'there's no charity in ripping someone off'. Especially if what's being offered up is broken or doesn't actually work. I have found out there are people collecting items from the kurbside cleanups and landing them at the charity shops. Thats a nice thing to do but a lot of stuff thats getting collected really should go to landfill. We use to have an amazing charity shop that had incredibly reasonable prices and because of that a massive turnover. Charity shops who are playing this new game of very high prices are really playing with fire. Once the word is out all your offering up is overpriced rubbish no one wins.

I had a similar incident when filming some b-roll footage for school. Was filming away from people and yet still had someone come up to me and aggressively complain about what I was doing. People can be crazy.

[@chocsise]

Didn’t think I’d go all through in one sitting but I really enjoyed this! Great video leo!

[@Brandon-qu7gl]

My favorite video of the year!

[@reecewreford8440]

So amazing to watch your trash and treasure hunt videos again 😊😊 love it!!!

[@JXstudios61]

YOOO THE CARS STUFF IS BACK I MISSED CARS IN YOUR VIDEOS

[@monkeyinthegang2]

This video was amazing leo

[@davidpearson6785]

Leo, I don't think it would matter to me and my son if you uploaded a video of you whistling the tune of neighbours for an hour, you're just a top man and well loved by your audience. I really enjoyed watching you peruse what people throw away

[@abir.chowdhury]

that carpet washer was originally a Bissell model, the Proheat 2X during the 2000s, from memory they were decently reliable and performed well, but I'm assuming the patents for it got sold when Bissell stopped making it/introduced a newer model at one point and it made its way to Godfreys, who slapped the Wertheim badges on and the rest is history.

[@leokimvideo]

What really struck me was the weight of this cleaner. It was like hauling a big boat anchor. I really don't like products flashing Euro brand names when it's just Made in China rubbish. Sadly I see this happening all the time.

[@MaryJaneCrew]

Dealing with crazies in the suburbs is mind boggling, I’m a public servant in America and get to deal with them all the time. Those health balls are something my father had which I inherited, my understanding is to roll them in your hand without making them jingle. So sad how much waste is in our society. Being in the northern hemisphere it’s hard for me to imagine a summer Christmas.

[@jackknife593]

Watching this on Sunday morning with a coffee, gotta enjoy these moments.

[@Stompinginmyairforce1s]

Hey Leo, long time viewer here and i love seeing these non toy videos just talking about life in Australia. I would love to see more toy vids but the way COPPA has been ruined that.☹️

[@matthewgustafson5225]

We have a Dyson V8 vacuum and while it’s a bit beaten up, it still by some miracle, it still works. Also I’m a long time viewer of your channel Lio, I still have that DVD you shipped to me of your Mad Bomber Thomas Episode from long ago.

[@cookiejar3272]

I love this thank you Leo!!!

[@thedudethatfairlylikesbbcr]

Interesting video Leo.

[@TheKiwiThomasFan9800]

36:18 you walked past some thomas merch its behind the peppa pig puzzle you can see gordon behind it

[@Thunder0010]

i cant believe some of the things you see dumped/thrown out over there....I would have taken several of those trimmers to see if i or someone else i know could have restored them to working order or something else, please do more of these these are interesting.

[@ThatDroid]

We brought back a leo Kim classic ‼️

[@Hyxth]

I lost my mind when you said you could have called the blue button in the middle of the keyboard something else, but you'd get flagged off the site. I never thought of you as such a cultured individual, so much as an honest man pointing out the flaws of the modern industry, so this caught me off guard.

[@Rangnathebloodedge]

I always enjoy your videos your redback spider videos are my favorite ones

[@harrisonallen651]

Loved the opening shot

[@jorgeamaya6049]

Awesome video 😄

[@hitachifansandmore]

51:30 i agree leo those "click" fans are especially as you would put it "cheap and nasty"

[@leokimvideo]

As I have found out it's really difficult to impress the 'fanboys'

[@UHGuac]

Maybe Leo can open a charity shop one day

[@musinmimi3184]

Your videos are always good Leo 👍

[@BulkedAmbulance]

The Dyson Hunt Returns.

[@Orpheusthebordecollie]

Can you make a long Dyson collection video showing the history of the all the models you have plus I wanna see what ya have more in depth

[@XtremeTrainz]

Another fun video - interesting comments by that resident re privacy - wait until they realise there is no real right to privacy in Australia 😂

[@XtremeTrainz]

Also stunning light displays!

[@BottleOwater1776]

the Dyson collection when?!?

[@NationalGuard5]

If you've done this in the past, what's the strangest valuable you found so far?

[@zainabaktar7167]

Leo for ur inevitable last video you should show every Thomas in your collection. Not Thomas and friends just Thomas

[@Douglas-not-Dougie]

Buy an atheran blue box genral electric es44ac diesel train

[@tehogvirgin3664]

leo do you think that you will ever make a thomas collection display video ever again? i understand that youtube cheating you over has completely destroyed any drive for it but will you ever do something like displaying a trackmaster/tomy track layout with the trains you collected or will it remain a thing of the past?

[@Rangnathebloodedge]

I've learned that you need to be careful of China products

[@leokimvideo]

I've learned that Made in China products make good fast landfill and create zero employment in Australia

[@Hyxth]

I usually call the made-in-China stuff 'Chinesium.' Whenever I go shopping, I always scold my family members for buying cheap plastic alternatives to otherwise high-quality metal or American-made construction items, such as paint pans, cheap microwaves, off-brand SD cards, just to name a few off the top of my head. Additionally, I personally dislike the direction that modern fashion has taken. I enjoy wearing nice dress shirts and actual pants, not some thrift store-esque ripped jeans, etc. It's a massive shame that tailoring is almost nonexistent nowadays; everything is just made in a factory and falls apart due to poor machine-handled construction, with stitching being awful, and most clothes adhering to a small-medium-large size standard for modern people. Furthermore, the fashion scene in general - ripped jeans, baggy pants, shirts with vulgar statements, and especially how revealing female fashion has become - disappoints me.

[@HensMclag]

dewalt sucks

[@leokimvideo]

Why is it sooooooo expensive?
