Why I love Thub: Drops metal and comments on the real fire danger of sparking--moments later cuts metal with sparks directed straight onto a wooden pallet. 😂😅🤣🤩

[@SHERRY0010]

lol

[@sandymcgill1910]

in Nova Scotia we are paid $10 for our old fridges by a gov program

[@thubprint]

Oh that’s way better, well done Nova Scotia!

You worked hard for that one Thub:) thx for taking us all along.

My back is hurting just watching Thub lift that black bar...

[@markwinter8663]

I'm sitting in bed watching this & my back is screaming 'No dude you'll regret it in a few years'...if not tomorrow.

[@Nobe_Oddy]

WHAT DO YOU MEAN "I don't like to be greedy" !??!? IT'S TRASH BRO!!! It will be IN A LANDFILL IF YOU DON'T TAKE IT!!! THERE AREN'T TOO SCRAPPERS THAT WILL BE GOING TO THAT DUMPSTER, SO TAKE IT ALL!!!! IT IS JUST TRASH!!!! :)

[@georgerodolakis6524]

Hot tamales, I hope you did not get a hernia. But what great load of scrap.

[@daleh645]

You worked hard for that one! Betcha glad you ate your Wheaties! 💪🏼🤣 Question #1: Since by law the refrigerant must be removed, is it then reused, recycled or how is it safely disposed off? #2: If it has value why don’t HVAC, appliance repair shops or the scrap yards offer free refrigerant recovery? God bless 🙏🏼🇺🇸🇨🇦✌🏼😎

[@codyswilley]

My dad used to have a 95 s10 2 wheel drive pickup with a 5 speed. I saw that truck squatting every week from scrapping. He went through 3 sets of leaf springs and shock absorbers. We scrapped that truck in 2009. I have a 2000 f150 and I get it plum full of short iron almost weekly and its totally daylight and dark compared to the old s10. I can get it loaded to the point I cant fit any more and it's barely squatting. Ofcourse it has a lift with much stronger springs and shocks but it's just insane how much times have changed. That little s10 had some very heavy loads on it pulling a 16' trailer with 3 cars smashed on it.

[@mollynakamori]

Wow, Thub! What a haul. I think you misidentified the chonk. You the chonk, son - YOU the chonk! Yeah - we have to choose our circuses wisely. Thanks for the great video.

[@williammeeks1283]

Another outstanding Friday video. Keep up the great work

[@markdukeshire4812]

Just sitting at the Calgary airport waiting for a delayed flight watching a Thub video and catching myself looking around at things wondering what kind of metal they are made of and how heavy they would be....

[@simodo11]

That was so intense ,watch your back Thub

[@HerbalNerdal]

Heavy metal paradise

[@ProjectShopFl]

I would have loved the I-beams. lol That was an impressive. 👍

[@SHERRY0010]

You could always include aerobics in future vlogs 😂

[@PhilRichards-o4h]

Just goes to show that curiosity is the best attribute to scrapping.looked like nothing in the skip bin but you got heaps.

[@ProductionsLightMike]

Careful, Thub, don't give yourself a hernia! It hurt my back just watching you, lol.

[@johnafagerquist8235]

What do you mean, 'greedy'? You're a scrapper. Take the metal. All of it. Am I missing something here?

[@ebikescrapper3925]

He is thinking of other scrappers, share the goodies.

[@mrMacGoover]

🇨🇦 HOekey heavy metal thunder Batman!😳 who needs a gym membership when your already lifting iron eh Thub?🇨🇦

[@Zizarkis1]

Days like these are why we do what we do. Way to go bro!

[@billstreet39]

Great video, I wish you had help on something like that. The heavy stuff looked like the legs for a platform. It looked like 1 or 2 were even bent. Imagine what it would of took to bend them…. I scraped for many years in the 70’s with my Dad…… we hardly ever left anything behind…. You have to develop a technique….. Bravo for you👍👍👍👍👍

[@robertbedard-h9t]

those were foundation jacks they do weigh a lot usually 2 guys pick em up and move them,very nice weight !!!! great video

[@richardball9724]

Thats a proper squat on the truck

[@E-BikingAdventures]

That's what she said.

[@mrMacGoover]

Hey Thub, you should keep an eye out for princess auto's 20v portable battery powered bandsaw, it would cut anything under 2" think like a hot knife through butter, I bought the biggest battery they had with mine.

[@mamabear5443]

And what the hell are those things? Excuse my mouth, but what are those black heavy a** things you carried,I thought they were drive shafts at first, but they're too heavy.?

[@BinneReitsma]

This is why I always have a Sawzall with some good blades with me, that bastard saved me so many times with way to heavy stuff, it's easier to pick it up :p But aside from that, nice catch buddy! If I'm ever on the other side of the pond I would like to get a beer with you.

[@DARKSHT23]

Wow that was a heckin freakin dive! You're so strong Thub, hoping for more long video to come i enjoy every bit of it. 😊

[@manayunk770]

A side note, not to burst your bubble; but with all those concrete core samples, I'm wondering if those black steel posts were filled with cement given the weight of all of them. Just thinking out loud!

[@jr.gibson2232]

What's scrap price where you are? Where I live it's a measly 45 a ton . 60 mi away is 75 I always take my non ferrous to the big city worth the drive

[@DumpsterMarcus]

wow what a great day!!!!!!!

[@martinc591]

Take it from a old guy that's done plenty of heavy lifting over the years, Invest heavily in preparation H, you'll need it! 😂😂

[@grandpakevin3354]

Not much in shred, but it all adds up.

Were those heavy black things elevator counterweights?

[@JayJay-mm3rm]

I love scraping i do it in my spare time .. i took apart 4 air conditioners and some small stuff too...i got 125 bucks for it all...its so worth it...i love taking it all apart...

[@RobbieBeswick]

What a load🤯😂 I’ve asked in the past about the refrigerant because in the uk we can’t take compressors off fridges so have to pay someone to do it, good to hear there’s no refrigerant in yours though👍🏼

[@Xenon6002]

Still wondering why you don't park next to the first bin when there is so much to throw on the ground, and pick it up for the 2nd time.😅 And when i type this you pulling up to put it next to another one.😂 nevermind...😎

[@eveengineer4147]

I'm really not surprised that you found a bunch of metal in the trash behind the engineering school building, didn't expect the giant black pipes to be there though. There are quite a few other dumpsters on the university campus that especially with some of the construction projects going on right now before the school starts again. I don't know how many of them you would deem to be on private property and need to stay out of though but I think most would at least have a little bit a metal inside.

[@10-cent-cup-a-Joe]

You definitely earned your keep today. You might look into investing in a ramp and a nice small winch.

[@lboe927]

Man, them knees are going to feel that one day. Dropping out of those dumpsters is going to take it's toll. Climb down my dude! On another note, if at all possible cut those copper aluminum radiators on the outside of the steel. The ends drop off and the steel peels away much easier than trying to wiggle the ends out of it afterwards.

[@unchained20000000]

Mike the scavenger used to say, you got to be strong in this world! He is correct. I quit watching scrappers that would bypass the heavy items because they were lazy. We would love to hit the motherload and when we see those on here hit it and not get it, we really lose respect for them. If you hit it and not get it, it's best just not to film it.

[@unchained20000000]

I have a question for you Sir. I see scrappers scrapping refrigerators with the freon in them, why does scrap yards take refrigerators with freon and not ac units with freon?

[@chivacetana]

When are you gonna get monetized? You have some views! I hope it starts coming in for you dude.

[@beerandbrat]

texas, usa scrapper here two things: 1. @25:50 you mention there is an argument for not taking a trailer, i would love to hear that argument! 2. i think we all are going to need an update on what the heavy poles are and how much they weigh individually. LOVE THE VIDEOS! ***edit i was to excited and commented. i was hoping you weighed individually***

[@SethiusAlpha]

Sorry to hijack your thread, but I've been contemplating getting into scrapping in Texas. Do you have any starter tips that are Texas-specific?

[@beerandbrat]

@@SethiusAlpha hey no worries at all. would you be willling to discuss your approx. whereabouts? or tell me the population of your city? this will determine the way i answer.

[@SethiusAlpha]

@@beerandbrat I'm looking to operate in the Austin region. I talked to the local scrapyard a few weeks back about tips and they basically just told me not to get into scrapping. >.

[@lorrainemcdonald7332]

Had you Not taken those I beam thingies, would they have gone to the landfill? Our municipal landfill doesn't allow metal, it has to be recycled. Hi from Newfoundland.

[@Stray_GM]

That is super interesting, way to go Newfoundland. At least here in the states, yes, dumpster bins go to landfill.

[@Kreacher1974]

Do you have to reweigh in between dropping shred and prepared

Do you guys over there buy plugs (from cable) I think there are only a few companies in the Netherlands that buy it and we are one of them but I have no idea if it's bought in North America

[@thubprint]

I ran around town with a bucket of them once and I did eventually convince someone to buy them, but I asked a lot of locations so generally it’s a no in my city. Most of the time folks around here are gonna have to pull the. Rasa out of them if they want to get paid for them

[@jamesraddatz2613]

[@peterrobbins2862]

I'm all for picking up some scrap but is steel really worth the effort for comparatively few dollars

[@thubprint]

I feel like this video makes a pretty good case for steel being worth the effort! It would have taken me many many hours of picking apart small appliances to make the same amount I got for a couple hours here

I’m sure there’s a number of things but larger tires will be the next upgrade for sure 👍

Did you get prepared steel for all the small stuff?

Only the bits that were larger than 1/8”, the rest was tin shred

Break out the good Dr.Ho . You are one tough cookie ! Just a note : I been scrapping a bunch of AC sealed units using your Jenga pattern cutting technique and it works like a charm. You really should make a detailed video on this cutting method. I`ve been watching other videos of guys cut these things apart and they struggle so much it`s hard to watch. Not sure if you invented this cutting method ,but man it saves time and makes it soooo easy ,especially on those big boys. Love the work and content ,keep it up !!

Nobody fills a mixed container here because nobody accepts it for disposal, everything has to be separated and this makes the Scrap situation very difficult for me.
