Dumpster Diving Street Scrapping - Always a Treasure Hunt!

[@billparsley7645]

That bit with the bit....Hilarious! Thanks

[@mrMacGoover]

If you rubber cemented those thick rubber strips together to make one big mat... you could use it as shock protective layer for when you chuck heavy pointed steel in your truck box.

[@kevinhaid6211]

Watching this guys progression over the past 7 years is wild lol..I just found the channel a week or two ago but I’m mostly caught up. Dude went from picking up bottles and random doo-dads from here and there and turned into one of the most active and efficient scrappers on youtube lol.

[@ariesmariano4592]

Very very nice I am from the Philippines I like your video

[@punkyroo]

You've inspire me to do a little scrapping of my own! But on a small, hobby scale. :)

[@TheGeologist101]

That’s how it starts lol

[@jrae6608]

Taking that door apart paid off

[@dwaynefowler7093]

MAN YOU REALLY HIT THE JACKPOT WITH THAT DOOR AWESOME!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@stephensmith3708]

Me again, SAVE THEM SCREANS FOR CLASSIFYING, BOYO!

[@MadelineRose-ep7fj]

Always tarp what you want to protect. Tarps are cheap.😊

[@johngay1981]

Permission to do something badly but to still see an idea come to life. Not quite what you said but I still learned and liked it.

[@trasieinkersole491]

Cool stuff! It’s a great wing. ❤️💙

[@williammeeks1283]

Life isn't about always being perfect it's about getting out there and doing the thing. At least that's what a wise man once said lol

[@rileyjohnson4489]

Man I'm new but I love your videos. They have helped me a lot with my scrapping journey

[@brian56]

Save your knees. Slide the door stiles under the dumpster and bend upwards. Also, those round shower valve plates are usually brass.

[@mancamera]

wow oddworld I last played it 28 years ago.

[@jazzyoatswarrobotsgaming7947]

Be me Sees thub uploaded It’s a long video Happy

[@jeffswartek7356]

Looks good. Try painting the brake rotors.

[@Jedi_Scowen]

I suggest you have a small pot for screws. 1. Most of the time, you'll find something that you could use out on the adventure. 2. If you are taking the time to remove screws then you may as well weigh them in. Screws are metal, after all. 3. If you mess up and throw your bit into a screw pot, then you'll be able to retrieve it. 4. I've got a wrist strap with magnets in it. Once I've finished, it's easy to transfer the screws from the wrist strap to a pot.

[@DanielKohn92]

Glue one of those Rubber maths on the roof of the car. So when you have long stuff over the roof they lay on the Rubber instead of the roof. Like half math on side of roof backwards

[@ryantimmins9479]

Keep doing the thing Thub! Good video.

[@susananthony2366]

The drive way is a bit of an art installation. I like it. Maybe a bit of gravel added to the rotor path would give it some additional texture and level the walk path. Keep doing the thing Thub! ❤

[@Billy-jackLever]

I'm getting another dentist date soon❤

[@markwinter8663]

When you launched that bit in the skip I thought yup, been there, done that, bollocks.

[@DianaRea-nv8zc]

Love you and your creativity ❤

[@IndigenousNative]

"No!!! I just threw my bit!" Oh no, You big dummy!!! Lol That's why you should just keep each and every bolt and and screw you extract and put them in your pocket or cannister or bucket or something, plus all that "little bit" of weight still adds up in the longer run.

[@dane9773]

Great to see your subs going up. You earned it.🙂

[@benhumphregys3087]

Always excited to see a new video thub🎉

[@stoneygirl966]

Those rubber mats are stair treads. Which leads me to think there may have been more. Keep up the Lords work, your doing great!

[@mrMacGoover]

32:40 just as a suggestion for the trailer arrangement...I would put the utility trailer up front as it will be used more frequently for Scrapping.

[@Trash_Cowboy]

Love these Friday vids. And on my lunch break a guy rolls up with a fridge in his truck and asked if I want it for scrap. Uh, yeah lol. He works next door and knows I scrap 😅 Keep it up, great scores today.

[@markrice3502]

a great video i like watching all your videos too i enjoy what you do ,thanks for shareing

[@paulcoenen7918]

That thing with the propane tank is likly a mosquito trap. They are attracted to carbon monoxide not light. Thats why bug zappers don't help with mosquito s. 😊👍 Now that i seen you fire it up maybe its just a heater. Pretty cool either way.

[@Naymy]

I really wish you'd were a mask or something when going into these bins. An electrician I knew got asbestos from crawling around in loft spaces. He died in his mid-40's. Asbestos (and other hazardous materials going into ones lungs) is not a joke. However, great video. I really love seeing what you find.

[@JayChabot-qd7gd]

The black pieces are anti stress, anti fatigue mat strips

[@osoblessed303]

Nice broooo I didn’t know you where a gamer respect fam that was nice of cathrin to send you that game

[@SpeedsterVlog]

Chillllllin and watchin a new video of u :)

[@John-jl3ky]

Cool video thanks!

[@thomasmeyer9932]

18:24 That happens when you dont put the scews in your pocket.

[@alexmeyer4221]

16:20 looks like those sound wall panels.

[@Nas_Atlas]

Thub doesn't like soap!! 😅😅😅

[@jansonsynder]

NEW GAME! In residential area dumpsters for reno that you can't see inside. Pause the Video and Guess the Reno" New floor New Kitchen New Addition New Wall New Bath New ??? LOL

[@Twelveoglock1]

landscaping job looks just like you !

[@garrettmillard525]

Looks so much better with the "wings"! The rotors are a bit insane tho lololol.

[@mollynakamori]

Told ya you didn't have it! Love you, Thub.

[@thubprint]

Right back at ya ☺️ thank you!

[@MattsAwesomeStuff]

Those nordic ski machines have at least 2, if not 4 one-way bearings. And you're like "What is a 1-way bearing?" Exactly as it sounds. Spin it in one direction, it glides like a bearing. Spin it in the other direction, it locks tight to the shaft, like a ratchet, without any ratcheting, just smooth one-way bearing. I keep the shaft and the 2 bearings and hand it to people to endlessly confuse them. Not worth anything but the joy of it.

[@LloydMorgan-l8w]

i just picked up a set of aluminum rims like what you have on your truck

[@its_marc]

Can’t see them rotors staying if you have a bad week!

[@thubprint]

At least I’ve got a little stash if things get lean 😆

[@GeraldBlack1]

Don't drill with gloves on, that's a good way to lose a finger, stay alive and never stop learning.

[@ScrapDog]

That is why i never ask if they tell me to leave i go right away no questions asked a lot of them have to say no but probably would not have said anything if not asked 🙂

[@thubprint]

You get it. I don’t want to give people bad advice but the game is about efficiency

[@timcolgan2699]

If it is worth doing it is worth overdoing. 😊

[@jansonsynder]

Hey Thub! I'm not really a scrapper, but my father-in-law was (he's passed) And while I did help him very rarely load what he cleaned, he had 4 city lots full to overflowing sometimes 10 feet deep in places. I'd normally give him stuff, but now years later, I find myself with my 1st truck, and while I have had several people come and take stuff over the years, I can actually take some things myself. What I don't want (or what my wife doesn't want, I should say) is a pile that never goes away. Ive decided to keep it no more than what can all fit in the bed at one time. The question is, are there things I shouldn't keep or pick up? My yard I know will not take microwaves that haven't been cleaned or coat hangers (among the obvious chemicals and not metals) What's not worth stocking up until a singe 5' bed is full?

[@thubprint]

Interesting question! I did do a video “I never scrap these items” but that was a little while back. You may have a good price for circuit boards and e-waste so I can’t speak to that but I generally don’t save a bin of zinc alloy, that stuff just isn’t worth much. Christmas lights are pretty bad for their volume but they’re so easy it’s hard to pass them up lol. The other things I can’t seem to get paid for are laptops and stove/oven heat coils. Waste of space for me. Then the plug ends with the little bits of brass, those are such an annoying chore but they’re actually kinda worth doing so I hate them haha

[@ProductionsLightMike]

Got to say, kinda jealous of you, Thub! What the temperature there today? The high in Tempe, Az is 110°F, 43°C. Sucks to scrap in the daytime in that heat. I've gotten 1st degree burns from climbing in dumpsters....☀☀☀🔥

[@adey88splace]

"munchies..." 'nuff said.

[@daryelljeffries7861]

It is an exercise in allowing yourself to be free to create, and an expression to create is a license to be an alive human being. We should always give everyone the licence to be just themselves. Love you all.

[@michaelhbm]

Remember locks are brass

[@swifty2844]

Hey mate 👍

[@ericprater4017]

Jeezus Gawd, thub...

[@garrettmillard525]

You can either laugh at yourself and keep moving or assign yourself to a sad miserable life. You always know the answer :)

[@jerremm]

Do you think this would all go to landfill if you didn't find it?

[@dwaynefowler7093]

DO YOU STILL HAVE THEM BIG PURPLE BAGS

[@thubprint]

I do actually! They aren’t listed on the store, but I’d be happy to send you a couple of you paid the shipping 👍

[@josephmaxwell7826]

Hey did anyone figure out what those mats are called? Thub what’d you make off them?

[@enestaskn7472]

Why you throw the screws to the dumpster instead of scrap them?

[@thubprint]

Lot of fuss for no measurable reward. I throw them in a steel bin at home where they add up though

[@liquiddrums42]

Hey Thub! Great video as always 👍🏻 I was wondering, and please enlighten me if I missed it, but is this your main income? If so, do you earn enough to make a decent living? Or are you struggling to get by when the scrap is scarce? I enjoy going on small scrap runs, but that is just extra for me next to my full time job 😅 So I was wondering how you got by 🤓 Thanks again and keep doing the thing! 💪🏻

[@thubprint]

I definitely don’t make a decent income off the scrap haha, most of how I live is from ad revenue on this here channel! It’s pretty light sometimes so the scrap is the auxiliary funds that allow me to go camping or throw a birthday party 👍

[@liquiddrums42]

@@thubprintthanks for the reply dude 👍🏻 Nice to know you just love to do this and we get to go along with you 😄 Cheers from the Netherlands!

[@jasonleatherwood2172]

God i hope that wasnt asbestos

[@reverendtfg6802]

*Someone is gonna trip on a brake rotor and then take another rotor to the teeth.*

[@johnthompson9032]

Just smash glass in the corner, it’s a skip 🤷‍♂️ or is that not the done thing

[@thubprint]

It wouldn’t be the worst thing for the glass to break in the bin, but it’ll take me much longer to pick the broken bits out of the frame then

[@Nobe_Oddy]

OHHH YEEEAAA!!! Oddworld is one of THE GREATEST Platformer/Puzzlers EVER!!! And I had NO IDEA they had all three in ONE COLECTION!!! SWEET!!! (Too bad I paid FULL PRICE for ALL 3 of the MAIN GAMES AND ALL THE OTHER ONES TOO!!! oh well! lol )

[@Nobe_Oddy]

Sorry but those brake rotor "stepping stone" are a bad idea.... and not because they are going to rust away very VERY QUICKLY, and most likely staining the dirt orange/brown from the rust (and from whatever else they alloy with the steel/iron), but the water runoff too (which goes into the drains and eventually into the sea... with the all the little fishies) but do you REALLY think people are gonna use them to step on??? They're placed REALLY close together... like for the stride of a child.... and with them being different heights people WILL SPRAIN THEIR ANGLES on them!! You HAVE TO fix the spacin if you're gonna keep them (which I don't think you should) ... but the reason you should NOT keep the Brake Rotors as stepping stone MOST OF ALL: THEY ARE VERY UGLY. I have given my opinions. I wash my hands of this matyter. lol :)

[@Nobe_Oddy]

Maybe you should put those rubber mats on the inside of the gate to your truck bed, so it's not slippery when wet 🤷‍♂ I don't think you'll sell them very easily because they are in such a weird size and they're cutoffs of a bigger size piece. I THINK they are flooring mats that you glue down to the concrete of your garage, and these are probably the offcuts 🤷‍♂ But this is just a guess.

[@stephensmith3708]

I do not know if you have done it before , but did you ever concidered of making flyers to the residents for free pick up on scrap metals? I know, I know it would take some fun of the hunt, but it will definately save fuel, time and extra expence, Cray Canadian Boheimian Cousin. Any-whoo,, I want to send you a PERFECT GIFT. I hope your post office is honest!!! Damn Great Findings, kido!
