Love finding bubble wrap and shipping supplies! I hit the commercial recycle dumpsters and always score. Nice table. Lots of people are painting wood furniture now so even pieces with imperfections are great scores as long as they are sturdy.

[@heathalbritton]

Never stop making the garbage picking videos! That is what brought me here and it's nice to see something different than the regular thrift store hauls videos from other people.

I really enjoy these garbage picking videos. I started out scrapping. Scrapping makes me happy. There is a thrill in it for me. So please keep doing these vids. They are relaxing and therapeutic.

[@laurabaumeister1826]

I love watching your garbage picking videos. I never see much of anything curbside here in Wi...and when I do its usually 30 year old sofas, Tv's, and entertainment units. Anything little is tucked away neatly in the large municipal garage/recycling bins.

[@PaisleySzuSzu]

I love how those one folks staged a little vignette with the chairs,table, shelf,bird houses and pillows. I even would have stopped and taken it and I don't scrap or resell

[@thekingtroll2]

I just subscribed. I like your energy. I like the fact that you recycle and take stuff others throw away. You recycle, repurpose or resell. That's unheard of in todays society. I have seen a few video's where you usually pass on those little tables or end tables etc. My niece was somewhere and she got a huge gallon like container of a really good furniture stripper for $2.00. Then she saw a gallon of paint marked $40 but clearance for $3.00 and it was "matte black". She'll run her for brush really fast over a stand like you just picked up. She then powerwashes lightly the gel off the stand. She grabs some old towels and pats it dry. The next day she applies the black paint. Two coats. She picks these stands up for free all the time. She had over 2 dozen ready and stored in MY garage LOL. She put up a sign $20. It took her almost 6 hours but she sold all 2 dozen. People stopped, looked and could not believe how "high end" they looked. Especially in the designs. She said "Some of these tables are 50 years old. They were stained with old varnish so I redid them. Off Craigslist, we got 8 different dressers that were free for pickup. She actually ran an ad that she wanted anything free so the could "experiment stripping and repainting". She got over 30 emails. Quite a few of those dressers did NOT get painted. They were lightly sanded a few times and then we bought some stain and miniwax to buff them. Wow, just wow. She marked all the dressers for about $100 to $125. You should have seen the driveway, along both sides. Some dressers and stands she did not stand or strip. She found a "recipe" on google. You mix olive oil and vinegar. You rub that dresser down and let it set. Do it again. It brought it out like new again with a very uniform look. A day and a half later I could now park my car in the garage and they all sold. I bring this up because people like you too, repurpose stuff. There is INCOME to be made for those that struggle. There is no shame in anyone doing any kind of job, or work or craft to earn money. So for those watching too, don't drive by a small stand and let it set. That free stand could be a quick $20 in your pocket or more.

[@larryboysen5911]

That washer looks fairly new, as do the vacuums you run across. They don't fix these anymore, as the stuff does not last. I have a dryer from 1970...she still works!

[@juliebeal8421]

I used to work at a landfill and they would charge ten bucks for an appliance left there. You are doing folks a big favor taking those old dryers. Like your videos. I'm a major garbage hound. If I could have brought home all the goodies I saw thrown away I would have been a wealthy person. It amazes me the stuff that folks throw away.

[@tinasorensen5161]

Always enjoy your diversified resourceful actions! My whole family watches your videos 👍🏼

[@marktaylor2644]

another great video. I wish I could find as much as you do. did go to an estate auction saterday and spent 10 bucks and filled my truck. best catch was a box of he called scrap brass. got it for a buck and got home and pulled it out and it's an old oil chandelier, all brass. with the pulley system to bring it up and down to lite the 6 oil wicks. no telling what its worth. very old !!

[@angelreading5098]

Great down to earth video,love seeing what people throw out,rich pickings for those who are prepared to work hard.

[@Gracie_02]

DANG TACO GREAT HAUL!! So how did the little wood table survive under all the other stuff? Hope it made it out ok ; ) Happy Yhanksgiving Taco Stacks Michele

[@lorrainemurray2488]

when you're going out scrapping the reason why you're running out of room is because of how you putting everything in your van okay, so if you get small items push them toward the front and make sure that they're stackable. with the smallest thing on the inside of a large peice is on the outside, if you keep that order, then when you put the bigger items in your van you will have more room. other items like that round drum type frame that you left at that one place ,you can turn it into a lampshade and sell it .check out those who do a lot of DIY projects where they repurpose a piece of furniture, and they use it in their home it's a part of the decor .so if you watch HGTV shows with DIY like , Flea Market Flip, you see how they repurpose items & make $$$$$.👍👍👍👍

[@geraldineknight8212]

Taco stacks I have seen some recent garbage pics and they are lousy I think you have the best one yet keep up the good work keep on picking

[@mistollievintage2792]

Always fun to watch. There are some beautiful homes in your neighborhood 😊

[@rgs4x]

Hey Taco I went to an estate sale and they had a bunch of Free stuff. A non-running generator and a couple of CB radios. I flipped the generator on Craigslist for $60 and the 2 CB's on facebook for $35. A good day.

[@Best_singer_eazy_e]

I love you taco stacks you’re my favorite KZbin or of all been watching you for a while now and you do the exactly what I do

[@vivianwilliams2216]

Great video! Always enjoy all types of your videos, Truly all around entertainment, I feel like I'm out there with you finding treasures!

[@hellosweetheart3350]

Yes! I use to garbage pick as a teenager and I was so scared someone would see me from my school but I wish I knew now that they didn't matter, I was having a blast!!!!!😉

[@stephendall2329]

It kills me seeing all those books going to the landfill. I collected books, many for research on a book I was trying to write. When we moved to the Sacramento area I filled a storage locker with 8 U Haul loads of books, research materials and some furniture. Then there was a flood and I lost almost 2000 books, all my research materials and 28 chapters of the book I was attempting to write and most of the furniture. I went from a entire library of books to a couple boxes..... never had the heart to start rewriting the book either.

[@cletusspuckler2243]

10, 35 I have this kind of vintage kérosène heather , runs fine , a little guzzly on kérosène , but it can save a day in the winter when there is a power failure .The wicks for these heathers are available online or some heather after sale shops .

[@frndofbear]

LOL. I found myself cheering you on, "Get the birdhouses!".

[@TheSwords99]

I've had good luck with wet/dry vacs. Every one I have gotten off the curb works. I have sold all of them at my yard sales.

[@patriciayauger9535]

Taco, great job, you filled your Van full. You got some great items. You can sell at the flea market or keep for yourself. Be safe, and hugs for Salsa. Sweet girl. 😃

[@wandajacklin6703]

You are too cool. Love your videos. Making our world cleaner one piece at a time.

[@logan9896]

I love the garbage picking videos. May God Bless You I hope you have and amazing thanksgiving

[@davesrvchannel4717]

I was picking up a washer and dryer curbside, homeowner was outside, I asked what was wrong with washer/dryer, "oh nothing, she just wanted new ones." I would have scrapped and got $15, Instead I got $300 for the pair on craigslist, lesson learned,, ASK what is wrong!

[@maureenmulhern4903]

Dave & Muppy. What state are you ...in

[@TuTaDJOficial]

What luck, in my country you will never see new things thrown in the street .. here people keep or sell them, and if breaks for example an LED TV, it is fixed and is still used .. there in countries like USA I think it costs the same or even cheaper to buy a new one, that injustice .. I rarely saw things that are worthwhile in the street and it is with luck

[@fallenangel2889]

I've seen an old Fisher stereo in the trash, it was double cassette had a turntable on top and 2 speakers that were 18 inches tall. It is still working.

[@tuxcats8518]

Taco - Do you have a working washer/dryer and laundry tub or sink in your storage garage? If not, I would set aside a space for them. I'd worry about what kind of creepy crawlies you might carry in your house with the clothing or other fabrics you salvage (as well as your own clothes).

[@beatrizcarias8928]

Right i taste everything before i decide what to do with it!!!

[@zorenzoroark7759]

Love the clock! Happy Thanksgiving!

[@dorothydanridge]

I don't know why I'm so into watching someone pick up junk but I am. Gonna have to subscribe. BTW I could use one of those realistic speakers. One of mine broke. Yep I'm in my 60s. I like the way you don't leave things in a mess.

[@Mizemm]

I love your videos! I love seeing the trash picking, the locker cleanouts, and the swap meets! Have you ever considered taking a friend with you so you don't have to lift dryers by yourself?

[@tommybigsexy676]

Another cool adventure Taco! Dryers are good, they usually have money inside of them☺ Have a Happy Thanksgiving!!

[@elaineplate8921]

Great haul! Did you notice the house where you picked up the baker's rack and lawn chairs? All of the discards were staged like a living room, right down to the two candles on the table. Quite the scrapper enticement, LOL! TFS.

[@janiceryan3973]

Taco, I’m starting to think the town should be paying you For the service you provide...you are a hard worker and Full of motivation!,,

[@carrols.hawkins7770]

Really enjoy these videos. I am nosy, I guess. But I have always had to buy cheap or go to 2nd hand shops, so am astonished at what gets thrown away. Keep up the good work. Wishing you the best. 😁

[@emarm100]

I’ve started to look at people’s trash differently when I drive by now. I think “oh, look at that nice piece”.

[@arlenelamont5610]

No wonder you stay so thin! Lots of work for a great score. These are my favorite videos.

[@anna2sablan383]

The flea market you sell at was closed down? I love your vids! You encourage my hubby and I with your vids. We sell great at our flea markets here. Keep living the dream indeed!! Anna and Nick

[@vivianwilliams2216]

Taco Stacks, great video! You got some cool stuff!

[@virginiamartin9913]

So fun to see you do this...I was a “lady picker “ before you were born... can you hear me yelling from SC , cheering you on! Keep up the good work!!!

[@kenberger859]

I have the same bakers rack ,spray painted it brown and use it in my bedroom for keys, wallet and a place to charge my phone,plus books. 😁

[@SaturnVenustar]

What no D&D today!? lol Wish your video was just a little bit longer since these particular ones are very popular with us Taco Stackers.... I do like the way you say PEACE! Too damn cute!... Alright I'll leave you alone lol

[@LindaPalmerTagTeamMoms]

you can pick up a converter to test out some things to know if it would be a good flip. Shop Vacs are decent money if you sell as parts on-line

[@Trainwreck_Art]

Never heard it referred to as 'garbage picking' before. People actually post all over facebook and craigslist about that stuff here, we just call it 'curb alert'. It's what you do when you redecorate or replace furniture etc when you don't want to pay for someone to haul it all to the dump or hold a garage sale.

[@jammadturn]

I enjoy your videos sir and you have a good eye for stuff, having said that, it pains me the way you just seem to throw stuff in your Van with no organization but I still enjoy your videos, keep rocking.

[@BJH862]

Thank you. Stay safe.

[@marcryvon]

Been doing this for years but not at your level. I found incredible things - furniture, tools, vacuums, etc - people throw out instead of fixing them, most of the time easy fixes. Advice: if you don't take certain appliances, cut off the wiring. Copper is always paying good money.

[@ruthmounts8685]

Hey I love your energy no nonsense way of taking care of business! You seem young to be so responsible! Do it to it...... I miss the east.

[@bearclan]

dang!! that's a Big truck n you are really good at packing it!!! amazed!

[@susieminga5458]

If I had a vehicle I would trash pick all the time because I used to do this and loved it, found some good things

[@emarm100]

Beautiful houses in that neighborhood!

[@gladysmccoy1725]

I absolutely love your channel

[@atat2278]

I can sit and watch your ending over and over PEACE crash lololol

[@tinabrewer_24ab12]

Great video. Enjoyed it. You did load your van well.

[@catinacudia5652]

Happy thanks giving to you and your family

[@SaturnVenustar]

Hope you have a great Turkey day with family!!! Looking forward to you next vid...

[@mariacaleb8995]

Hi! Just to let you know that I enjoy your videos alot. Good luck to you

[@Sitharos]

That’s actually a pretty nice little table you picked up! If I saw that I would pick it up myself 🙂

[@CCHILSON189]

Good trick starting out in your black jeep and the next stop you have your white van😄

[@sparkleinyoureyes8259]

Good video...keep picking and selling reusable things...but maybe stack your findings in the truck neater to conserve space never know what you might find next. Good day

[@kc2dhu]

Nice looking perfection heater at 10:23 Totally rebuild-able and are collectible as well.

[@cletusspuckler2243]

jim t I own one witch is fully operationnal , the wicks for them, are available online , or you can adapt wicks made for newer models , just pay attention to buy the right size of wick .

[@Bluelight176]

Very nice haul, man.

[@kristenbarry7096]

Great finds! Did the shop vac end up working or not?

[@laurafifer4453]

Thank you for keeping so much out of landfill. ✌️

[@debclevinger7233]

Great haul!

[@AmericanPatriot-1776]

Here it is 2019 and I'm still bing watching.

[@dalesworld1308]

Polk speakers are expensive - and you threw it in with all that nice scratchy metal!

[@dougwells1959]

what do you do with the basketballs? take them to flea market?

[@bstapleton3908]

I've seen you pick up all this stuff. I'd like to see how/where/ what you do with it when you get home?

[@emarm100]

Scrappers do a good service.

[@rebeccahiggins2369]

The little wooden thing is the bottom of a chair. There's a big round wooden basket that sit on top then a big round pillow on top of that.

[@Tim-57]

Rebecca Higgins You are right🙂 I had one and it was called a Papa-Son chair ( unsure if that is spelled correctly ) 😉

[@tdamron4185]

Yes, I love papasan chairs 😍😍😍

[@maryhill2346]

Think that is the bottom to the mama-son or baby-son one, but correct, it is the bottom of a three part chair. Very comfy cozy but top edge of center piece has a tendency to break because you always have to grab it to get out of the deep cushion.

[@MissCanadian]

Hi just so you know Taco you got two washing machines not dryers but I like your videos so keep making them :-)

[@MD-wk3gj]

“Alright, she’s in.” Well, barely and awkwardly. 🤣🤣🤣

[@oldmaine4314]

Great video today. Do you ever have to compete with other pickers on the street?

[@pbs4535]

Hey you should get a big school bus to do this. Thanks for sharing.😃

[@MissMaggie246]

I know this is an old video, but I have a question. After you wash the rugs at the car wash, how the heck do you get them dry? Thanks for the videos, I love the way you talk us through it!

[@TacoStacks]

air dry em

[@marysaiz800]

my dad use to garbage hunt and find some nice things he would fix things up and then take them to the swap meet and sell them

[@CanadianTreasureHunter]

Nice video, When you find speakers take off the grill and if the speaker surround is rotted away leave it, Unless its JBL of other high end speakers or bring a cordless drill pull out the speakers for scrap. Question what a taco stacker?

[@cletusspuckler2243]

Canadian Treasure Hunter You can find good new speakers on line ( not too expensive) to fix the boxes . Just read the characteritics of the old speakers and order new on line : i fixed hifi speakers boxes like that , with better speakers ordered on line , i still use these boxes on my Home Theater system every day ( i use the HT as a computer amplifier/speakers to listen to music on KZbin videos , watch moovies ( streaming) or to listen to country radios online .

[@ncgolli]

What do you do with the electonic stuff if they don't work?

[@rebeccanichols1165]

Great video and great score

[@territ1231]

Love the clock!

Just love your camera angles, it makes your arms look sooooooo long. lol😎

[@zoeazsss5035]

You might want to get a second van, for when the first one gets full, ha ha ha,, nice video, great haul, at 1:05 little girl in dress picture was cool, I wanted that picture. :(

[@shelleylondry1265]

pa ma I loved that picture!!!

[@zoeazsss5035]

Shelley Londry yeah i wd pay one dollar for it lol

[@ellimae1548]

you need have a trailer with you..nice haul 😀

[@TheAshesvondust]

My mom has a very similar black metal stove, my grandpa used to bring it ice fishing xD

[@LL-sq8se]

All the way around...Great video!

[@justinjacobs19]

Do you have to take the guts out of the dryers before scrapping them? Sorry new to the channel. Found you a few days ago and havent stopped watching your storage unit videos.

[@CCHILSON189]

Question: how did you get started on making this a living, garbage, Flea markets, thrift stores, resales?

[@ninaconverse3615]

I noticed you use the van all the time and sometimes your Jeep. But if you use a a trailer with your van to take the larger items such as the washers and dryers and so forth it would leave room in the van for the more delicate things that would possibly be break. It was just a thought.

[@retiredandreselling1261]

The golf suitcase was awesome too bad you didn’t have any more room

[@shirleyharrison2580]

Another great video.. Thanks..

[@NicHills]

nice finds :)

[@myfriendoretheshepherd6618]

If the dryers work do you sell them also?

[@kimwilliams7051]

if the vacuum works taco stacks i know that tucker upper mentioned that he needed one in a recent video xxx

[@abrixtonboy]

Nice videos not too many shots of you driving around looking for stuff, that suits me just fine, thanks.

[@mitchellsnyder6228]

Are you doing a dumpster diving series like Craigslist Hunter?

[@MissLoriAAnne]

Just an FYI those dryer drums make good fire pits too

[@maricelagarza5003]

love the heater

[@cletusspuckler2243]

I trashpicked a professional shop vac : it just required a good cleanage of the filters and a new ( homemade ) rigid hose , it works better and quieter han my regular home vacuuom cleaner , and its a bagless model, just a bucket to empty and filters to clean with an air blower . Perfect to clean dogs hair at home .

[@cletusspuckler2243]

9:14 Crappy stereo ( Crosley design ) just good for a shop radio or in a child bedroom .

[@user-kz4bs9sf5b]

Hi, you could have kept the stuffs in ur house( if u live nearby) and then go back and take the Table as it was very good table😊. And you are very strong man, how did u lift that heavy washer all by urself....
