Dumpster Diving 36 - Bed Bath & Beyond Knows What's Up!

A little dumpster diving stop turned out way better than expected! Brought home a great haul of like-new devices, the condition of which made me think there may be some intention behind them. I'll show you what I mean and how to fix them all up!
Wire stripper I use: amzn.to/3jrO2iS
The motorized stripper: amzn.to/3y0JMuQ
The wire cutters I like: amzn.to/2T6j3OW
This is the cheaper version: amzn.to/2SwrYsB
And here are those grips I recommend: amzn.to/2QCJmYl

Wow that's what's up 😀 I love that you are not only keeping these things out of the landfill but you are making some money on top of it! Oh, pro tip, multi wick candles in broken jars are excellent to find. You just clean off the glass, pull out the wicks and melt them down. You can then repour them into new containers and you already have wicks. I'm definitely here for this next chapter!

[@joeluk123]

Nice, I just got a easy make melt kit off the web to do just that but on a large scale or to remake the bigger candels. So much fun taking plane jane candels and remelting them into a nice lavander or sunflower sented one!

[@thubprint]

Ohhh I thought about those too! There were quite a few in the broken glass boxes

Wonder why they get tossed? I like the little one, I don’t have a lot of space for kitchen gadgets

[@jpansamerica]

good finds all round! I found a kitchen aid stand mixer curbside this week. so far testing is great, no stripped gears, no markings...gotta love those big finds

[@thubprint]

Oh those are FANTASTIC! I found one a few years back, it wasn’t rotating but it was just the little plastic worm gear, they’re designed as an intentional point of failure and this one had cracked. Super easy fix. Just be sure to change the grease in the planetary head if you ever get it open, it’s intended to be changed every few years cuz it breaks down and can start leaking oil.

[@DumpsterMarcus]

Awesome finds man!!!! Yea that store love their spray paint and cutting stuff.

Hey man, I just wanted to say that I love your videos. It doesn't matter if your rescuing things from dumpsters or finding them curbside, I love it all. I live in the states and do very similar projects as you so it is really fun to watch a fellow enthusiast doing their thing. (No pun intended there). Don't want to miss an episode! Keep kickin ass, my friend!

@@thubprint Hey like I said I enjoy all your stuff, it's a blast to watch what you might find. I love going out finding things curbside (dumpsters are well watched and locked around this area) But I live with neuropathy in my feet so hopping those big dumpsters is out of the question anyway (love the little ones though!) Found a ton of PCs in a school dumpster once lol. Wish we has those long back allyways like you do up there. I would so drive up and down those to find goodies!

@@thubprint yea its not fun having potatos in office xD

[@Bmxbandit261]

I like the Bed Bath n Beyond dumpsters they have some good things if u get lucky enough to find stuff that has very little damage or enough so that its fixable. It really sucks when they field destroy the stuff because its just gonna go to a land fill n they cant sell it anyway so they should just leave it as is so even if we cant grab it to re-sell we could still get some use out of it.

[@thubprint]

I mean I agree with you, but I do understand what the store needs to do as well. It comes down to the same thing I’m always banging on about, producer responsibility

[@Bmxbandit261]

Yeah i def understand where the stores are coming from. Like some stores will sell their excess stock or stuff they cant get rid of to discount retailers or donating it which i think is the best way to go about it. Or some places have arrangements with their suppliers that they will get credit for their unsold merch and in return have to destroy it. It just bothers me when they have to be that wasteful. I read the european company Burberry destroyed 36.8 million in merch last year and the company H & M has burnt around 60 tons worth of clothing since 2013 or a watch company thats destroyed over $365 million in watches in a year and all those companies reasoning is because they want to maintain exclusivity with their brand and thats totally understandable but when so many people in this world are in need it just bothers me how much we waste that could be put to use to actually do some good in this world.

[@beachestobackroads6103]

Been watching for a while brother. I’ve started thrift flipping and you would be amazed how much those motors and parts go for on eBay. You may not have the cords but when you part out juicers, blenders and other kitchen equipment, you can make a few dollars…… I like the videos.

[@thubprint]

Nice! My KZbin buddy uberism86 does exactly that, ebay is his whole thing. Could definitely make a bit off them

[@gabrielmaligeorges4362]

A real eye opener - thanks for this information!

[@thubprint]

Trying my best! You mean the damaging out products info? A lot of people assume it’s just selfishness from the store but it’s not fair to think that, there’s a genuine reason

[@cdcVintage]

Hey bud. This was a fun video. You can easily add a plug to that dehumidifier. I do that all the time.

Gonna add plugs to all of them! Might keep the dehumidifier, it should speed up the drying process on a car detail

I'm late again 🙄 thanks KZbin for not notifying me yet again... well at least I am here now albeit 5hrs late lmao. Edit: After watching I learned something I didn't know but will put to use soon... I recently found a Shark Rotator Pro Vacuum (valued around $200) and a Floor Lamp (valued around $40 or so) but they both have had their cords cut, thanks for the information on how to replace the cords.... my finds soon will be Better Than I Found Them... 😁👍

[@tomd8159]

When taking paint off plastic or any type of surface just take some gas on a rag or paper towels and that paint will wipe off like it's water, trust me. But be quick with the gas and wipe down with soapy water as the gas can hurt some surfaces if left on.

[@TITSTODIEFOR]

Hi. Any reason you didn't take the K steps from the skip?

[@MrShekoexile]

Ti ts

[@thubprint]

No good reason, nope! I’m going back for them 🙂

[@ryg6870]

If you can’t fix some of the appliances you can part them out on eBay and Amazon. Since they are newer models they will yield more money. Sometimes the whole is worth less than the parts. I e the juicer catches may be worth $20-$30 each the reamer might be $15. Also its easier to ship smaller parts. Food for thought. I like finding the ninja blenders and parting them out. Anyway good score keep up the good work.

[@thubprint]

Oh nice! Those ninjas are really common, and the plastic parts are sure to wear out sooner or later

[@johnkrull1040]

I just want dumpster diving the town over from me this very large home building company and is building 21 homes at the same time some are at the stage to where they are getting carpet some gutters different things but my favorite is right after they build the structure they start the wiring process and friends let me tell you in only 3 dumpsters I filled up seven of the largest totes that you can get of nothing but Bear right number one copper electric wire brass fittings copper plumbing fittings 3 full totes of number 2 wire from running the surround sound and things like intercom security System, and remind you I have the exact same car a white Pontiac vibe I was literally kicking the Toots to get them in the car for enough for me to shut the doors after all was said and done and I got one tote cleaned of the very sick gauge bear bright wire for just one tote it was a couple pounds shy of over 110 lb of nothing but the thickest bear bright wire if y'all don't know basically in the states for it to be considered thick bare bright it is the wire that runs the washer and dryer refrigerator the lightning ground wire that connects the house to the ground back to the fuse box it is the thickest electrical wire in any home and that was only three houses I have another 18 houses to go that have yet to be ran with the electrical wire now that many totes each one with all the copper being cleaned roughly around 100 to 160 pounds at $3.89 per pound the scrap yard I go to if you have be right wire for the equivalent of regular verbrite number one which is the thickness of a outlet wire if you bring in over 70 lb you will get $4.20 per pound we had a very good honey hole this week and the months to follow for our children it is going to be one very very good Christmas my regular routes is on Sunday evening to Sunday night around my area that is when the trash is set out and I have talked to many different trash pickers and they are so against looking in the trash bins but keep in mind everyone some of the most if not more than any of the best finds I have had is inside the trash bins don't let anyone tell you that it is illegal to open the lid and look inside a trash bin sitting in front of a house the garbage low and you can look this up as well in the United States in a police officer will tell you as well as the trash collection company that once a trash bin is set out for pickup anything inside that trash bin becomes public property and in no way could you be charged for a crime the facts are true I have been doing this for well over 30 years and sometimes try it out I have found gold after gold after gold after silver Platinum jewelry in the trash bags that is in the trash bins my advice is what I do myself if there is something valuable in a trash bag say for example a gold ring it will fall to the bottom corners of the trash bag my tip to you always first fill the corners the bottom corners of the trash bags the same goes for tools I have over thousands of dollars worth of tools I have found in trash bags that was set in the trash bins some worked some didn't if they don't want someone else to get the precious metals or electronics they will most definitely put them in the trash bags and in the trash bin I am going to be making my very first trash picking video tomorrow on my channel and someday I would love to collaborate with you and come and visit the country of Canada keep picking and always be proud of what you find God bless and happy hunting.

Nice score and fixes on everything except one item.. and with all due respect to Grandma, there is no way in hell 32oz of laundry spray is worth $22/bottle. I don't care what their testimonies say. That has to be the biggest rip-off I've ever seen in the laundry world. Don't get me wrong.. happy that you found 6 bottles of spray to use, but I cannot believe Amazon is trying to sell that. I get 32 oz of spray at my local grocery for $5.00 and I dilute it 50% with water. Just amazing to see what unscrupulous sellers do.
