Dumpster Diving, Processing and Cashing Out - How Much?

What I really respect about this person is that he cleans up his mess after scrapping and searching for metal!

[@timnavarrette6932]

He’s real kind hearted nothing but respect

Right when your steel hauler needs a vacation you are suddenly blessed with an abundence of the poor mans gold. Out there somewhere,someone is looking out for you, life is good.

[@williammeeks1283]

I really wish all the lower 48s would offer money for bottles, maybe then people would stop throwing them on our roadsides.

[@joesmith-es1zy]

Most of America is woefully behind in recycling efforts, including offering deposits for bottles and cans.

[@kimaningure254]

In Nairobi Kenya, were currently doing 10 bucks a pound for copper so yeah. its a sweet deal

[@jimmyhoneycutt1]

Working to fix up the vehicle adds a pretty cool twist to your videos. That being said, I'll be glad when you get your dang truck back.

[@richavic4520]

Did I miss any updates for the truck?

[@boysonlyparty]

Came to the comments to say this!

[@killjoy987987]

Every little bit adds up

[@alanwilliams2452]

Was watching non farrius Jeff from Florida he has a guy that scraps with a bike and small trailer does very good

[@unchained20000000]

hell yea give your friend a purple bag. i watch your adds the whole way through to give you larger ad revenue. it's about giving. when we give we receive blessings.

[@jmyazzie08]

If you like dumpster diving at home renovations then you should go to your local building department. They usually have a list of building permits with address and type of construction happening, also a good place to see where electrical work is happening. Then you will know where to go in the future

[@alanwilliams2452]

That was a great 2 day ride with you and friend made good cash awesome time

[@dianarea1808]

I love love love watching you take stuff apart. Your commentary is so good.

[@vincedibona4687]

So, I got my buddy's truck. Made money with it immediately. Then the alternator went out, had to wait 3 days for it to come in (!!!), and now have to wait for tomorrow to change it out. Jeeze! But it is nice being able to load things without a (reasonable) height restriction. Now off to watch the video!

[@georgecuthbertson7076]

I recycle on foot I carry snips and screwdriver but the channel locks great idea thanks

Thanks for what you do😊 Hi from New Zealand

[@mollynakamori]

My day started out kind of crummy, but an hour hanging with Thub brightened it right up. Thanks, Thub. (Glad you got the clippers. After all this time, the old ones were just too dull.)

[@thubprint]

Thanks again molly! Don’t think for a second I’m throwing the other ones out 😆

[@SollersScrappingandDiving]

ooo yay, Fresh upload right after my premier, sweet, I can watch at time of release for a change👍

Yeah you should get the mazda truck back. Its the heart of the channel :)

[@richavic4520]

I'd pick up a $10 bill off the ground. That's a great return for the time you invested in those bottles and cans.

Bro please hold the grinder with two hands at all times, you need to invest in a bench vice so you can always cut safely, just don’t want to see you cop a cutting disk to the apposite arm ❤ stay scrapping

[@aaronhoyes1781]

Watching this right now at home, at 12 AM. My Pontiac Vibe is in my buddies garage overnight. We're replacing the fuel injectors tomorrow because gas had been spewing out of the engine and collecting in boiling gas pools on top of the engine... NOT GOOD! Anyways, I'm without the Vibe tonight, but there just so happens to be an open top less than a mile from me right now that over the last 6 months has produced Hundreds of kilograms of non-ferous metal. I have a large backpack, I do believe I'll go for a walk right about now...🚶‍♂️

The wheelweights in the bucket you skipped there are a special cathegory at the yard, and pay decent!

[@williamturner7313]

I thought they were wheel weights too at first. Its actually cigarette butts.

Oh, well they don’t pay equally good! 😂

[@davidbolton184]

They just let rummage through the dumpsters just like that.I always get run off

[@robwaterfiled6168]

we have similar bottle/can deposit, but its 10 for everything, 2 or more sets of tools definately makes things easier

[@andyweins]

DAMN! Good day of diving.

[@Gbienek1]

I remember when I was a kiddo and my cousins and I would go around collecting bottles for 10-15 cents each in Texas. Back in 80’s. Would take them to local HEB grocery store to customer service in a drop bin and that was nice and convenient! Unfortunately most states here in US no longer pay like they do I guess in Canada 🍁. They just rely on people to throw them in recycling bin placed at the curb. Great vid as always brother! I’ve actually been inspired by you, Mike the Scavenger as well as Scrap and pallet Man to start my own scavenging business with KZbin channel coming soon!!! Blessings to you and yours brother!

[@RobbieBeswick]

Seeing you process the scrap reminds me of spending Saturday’s at my dads yard cleaning copper, cutting off joints and soldering to make into clean copper with bolt cutters, I was about 8 at the time😂 also if he got any strippable wire he would give it to me to strip and scrap and I got the money, it’s crazy how young I was but great memories

[@Ydnar1155]

Old water heaters and high end have ones have copper tanks. In any case check the name plate. It indicates the tank metal.

Great scrap runs. Interesting to see what’s inside and if worth scrapping more Thanks

Cadmium? Watch Our Every Day Living, Tim is quite resourceful with his wife, June working right beside him. Am not sure where they are actually located in Australia. Poly Prophet, Melbourne, does a great job of scrapping. He has the best scrap piles that are nicely located in front of residences. Be safe out there.

I've done scrapping for several years. I find the taps you have in Canada made very cheap. I have never come across taps like that in the UK. They are always solid brass.

[@johnhubbard6262]

Having multiple dumpsters on multiple apartment complexes I have several connections with scrappers I pay to haul away the treasure. Street scrappers get upset but not enough to procure simple insurance so I can allow them in the dumpsters or better the apartment cleanouts.

[@thubprint]

That’s an interesting idea, registering a business and getting insurance could really expand the opportunities

I went out today and picked up 4 vacuum cleaners, 2 box fans and an AC. I don't have the space to keep magnetic metal and it would cost me more in gas than I would make per trip so I give it all away.

Save the cords up break down the radiator, cut out compressors and copper and motors is what I’d do to make that worth it

Fingers crossed ill have a job at my local scrappy be able to load out at 730 am then again on lunch as its 2 miles from my house and a mile down the road on foot for now. The amount of Hoover's ive scrapped big name ones you can sell parts to repairers ive go 20£ for a Dyson cylinder.

[@austinbuck77]

Why are you saving the plastic bottles?

[@larrybuckles5180]

Looks like a wire dance is better exercise than a pole dance.

[@ConcernedCitizenPPCA]

BTW those boxes of wire are probably for Cat5 or Cat6 Ethernet. You can probably sell it for more than it's scrap value given a full box is worth around $300ish for a 1000' of wire.

haha neatly bundled up poles, it's almost as if they knew you were coming 🙂👍 I got literally a vehicle full of light fittings last dive and it turned into a nice weigh in after a little processing too, I think that we will get more and more as people switch over to the more energy efficient LED ones. Right place at the right time indeed, I'd start singing with cable scores like that! Oh man, you threw the board back in with all the relays with silver contacts in, that makes micro scrappers like me cry 😜Wow 10 and 25cents each for bottles and cans is amazing, I so wish they did that in the UK!! I know what it is like scrapping in a smaller vehicle 😉Nice payday 👍 (I really thought we were going to witness some super claw action when he was trying to get that mixing bowl out but alas no, shame 😂)

Great haul buddy! I had a “wire type of night” last night. Every once in a while, I’ll find stashes of it like it comes in waves, lol. Last week I found 4 brand new 2000 ft spools of cat-6 sitting right on top as I opened a dumpster! It’s amazing how much valuable stuff gets thrown out!!

[@JFDhater]

good day sir. water heaters. depending on the tech used for control, if it has a programmable electronic board on it, then there will be sensors and wire under the insulation. usually 12-14 gauge. the tank itself may be valuable to some scrappers, if they are into chemistry. in my town, we have a huge manganese problem in our water supply, resulting in massive deposits in aged water heater tanks. I have recovered over 50 lbs in a single tank.

Hay their thumb. I a couple of weeks ago bought this one bad blade for my angle grinder that is carbide tipped. I would recommend it to you for when you have to cut the copper/aluminum of the ends of radiators. I would recommend you try one for yourself. Only downside is it has bigger chips. Keep working hard and making money.
