Thub's ode to the dumpster: Yoo-hoo big blue-oo-oooo Whatchoo got in you-oo-oo....

[@kevinhaid6211]

The TV towards the end 🥲..they’re becoming harder and harder to come by. Love scrapping the old CRT TV’s. Bout 12 years ago I threw an ad up on craigslist offering to pick them up (along with any other sort of e-scrap) and got bombarded..couldn’t break them down fast enough, took up over half of my garage. One could drive up and down a single block on the weekend when all the college kids moved out of town too, fill up a whole truck. Now you see 1-2 here and there every once in a blue moon..increasingly rare!

[@thubprint]

That’s such a shame to think of now! There are quite a few different models that people will pay decent money to add to their crt collections now, but it’s true they were all but worthless at the time

[@jeffswartek7356]

Been behind. Been moving. Trying to catch up now. Love, love the vids. The set up and voice overs are getting better and better

[@timnavarrette6932]

It’s funny you mentioned bucket I’m trying to get a kitty litter container as one of my scraping buckets and no luck lol

[@durfkludge]

Thanks for taking us along, Thub!

Good dive...those mailboxes are worth some change.people buy them for decoration

SCRAP METALLL!!!!

[@daleh645]

Nice but either you’re being selective or you missed a couple of things, duct work in the first dumpster under the Matt’s you lifted up, air vents on top of another dumpster and a lawn chair at the end next to the steel pipes. 😎 Y’all got some colorful money up there in Canada, God bless. 🙏🏼🇺🇸🇨🇫🇮🇱

[@SollersScrappingandDiving]

I never come across CRTs that big anymore, yay for the copper yoke and degaussing cable to follow😁🧡

[@SollersScrappingandDiving]

@granitestater1029 indeed he did😁

[@Mezox13]

Nice video, wish it was a bigger haul. But you can't win big everytime. Wishing you all the trash fairies luck for the next run. Go Thub!

[@tonyvescarelli1589]

always enjoy these vids! Is this in Calgary? Looks very much like it is. keep up the great content, brother!

[@nikkichan550]

The very old, big TVs have a good amount of copper in the back

[@gravitybear]

I was able to reclaim some lead from cast iron drain pipes like those @5:46 thanks to you showing me how to do it in previous videos. Thanks, thub!

[@westermanneric]

Siiiiiiiiick! Bring on the dumpster videos!!!

[@benhumphregys3087]

Perfect timing for a good thub video

Great video,look forward to the next video 👍😁

Love the videos. I tried to email you on your thubworld account. My neighbor has some scrap metal to get rid of. In SE Calgary near peigan and deerfoot.

[@trasieinkersole491]

Thanks Thub.

[@MagpieMalone]

Hey, don't know what part of the city you are in but my neighbourhood is absolutely full of bins with those metal spool things that are hard to crush

[@thubprint]

I’ll go all over the city! Those silly spools haha, they hardly weigh anything

[@GrifterInfluencer]

bin master , funny sutff

[@thatcanada]

In my province you never see construction bins out on the road - they are always on the property and ALWAYS behind fencing. It must have to do with insurance. And if the site is free of construction crews, it will be manned by a security guard. You are lucky!

[@HobosCrafting]

Same here down in illinois, sadly

[@CamGroves]

man, Canada is like Trailer Park Boys,

The 1,000th like. Yay me! Why am I so far behind?

[@guycossettecossette7444]

At least 8 bucks for the TV .. that model is the most valuable ..

[@deweydoesdaily742]

I know it's messy is it worth it to break the glass and bag it up rather than keeping it whole

[@williammeeks1283]

Nice video Thub. How is your son doing, I haven't seen him on here in awhile

[@thubprint]

He’s doing amazing! Turned into a full size teenager now haha. Haven’t had him involved in any videos since the big pile of transformer ones, but we’re having a great time finding non-video adventures to share 😄

[@vincedibona4687]

I found six deep-cycle battries the other day, 63 pounds each, 376 pounds total (about 150 kg for you people that haven’t put a man on the moon) for just shy of $100 US. That was just the battries from that load. 😉

[@thomasmills3934]

U don't field scrap anything? I would zip off the back of that TV and pop the cone off and grab the outer wire and zip the cover on. 5 mins. Oh and cut the cord. I'd never ever take a tube...

[@thubprint]

Hope you saw today’s video then, you’re leaving a lot of money on the table! 😉👍

[@thomasmills3934]

@thubprint I'll be watching! Not full time scrapper. Just my 3rd job behind professional mover and delivery driver. ...and I have no market for e-waste at all.

[@steezyg1665]

Hey thub if you ever come across Pokémon cards or video games I’d be interested in trading . I could send ya some gold In exchange

[@thubprint]

That’s cool! I’m a bit of a video game collector myself, but I keep my horde pretty slim (or try to hah) Pokémon cards I don’t keep for myself though, so if I find some I’ll be happy to pass them along!
