LET'S GO TRASH PICKING! - Trash Picking Ep. 166

[@FlaKNMB]

I think it's wonderful how respectful you are of other people's property. You're always so good about leaving a trash pile neat and out of the street. Other pickers, not so much. Thank you for saving the planet and for being a gentleman while you do it.

[@localsouptalks]

The 50’s chest of drawers is so full of style and personality. I’m happy you picked it up. Furniture made in this time period is generally well made, but uses wood veneer on the surfaces, which chips over time. Yeah, it has some issues, but worth someone spending a little time and TLC on it. I hope you find a buyer for it.

[@OriginalNethead]

I'd check inside the drawers for a name, and probably end up sanding and painting it. Those missing veneer pieces are a problem, but paint 'er and they'll vanish. Some flipper is going to want that!

[@saralogan1009]

That dresser is great. I hope someone who loves mid century gets it and brings it back to it's original state. Glad you picked it up!

[@bradleywood413]

Hey Taco , I love watching your videos man ! I especially enjoy your ongoing commentary about the finds ! I like your a good natured soul ! PEACE , LOVE AND HAPPINESS TO YOU AND YOUR SALSA 🐕 💛🧡💜❤💚💙

[@rickeydonald4756]

Love it professor Taco, your hypothesis is correct. So funny. You deserve an honorary doctorate in picking. I’ll see what I can do!

The horn is a Public Address speaker. Old school workhorse.

Good call on the dresser! Well worth repairing.

[@reginamarynchakstaiger5961]

Use glue and clamp for repairing wood not nails...or tourniquet

[@mommabscrochetkitchen2439]

You keep that blanket in the van. Cover things like the dresser and you can put stuff on top of it. Or take a heavy duty tarp with you. Good haul 👍

[@kankerdoodleb9149]

Nice trash pick Taco...you need a padded blanket or two for covering nice items...

[@amyfisher6380]

[@timgrogan883]

You look like PA speaker for like little League baseball park.

Then the padded blankets become inaccessible or upon being applied they cause entanglement or slippage. [ I'm a pessimistic defeatist ].

A good tip for Taco. When i do scrapping runs i always carry a bunch of flyers with me to pop in the letter box and a few neighboring boxes. You'll be surprised at how many calls i get to pick up junk and scrap metal from these flyers.

12:44 that thing is a water storage tank for an RV and the wires are for the water level sensors. Also at 19:10 thaat is a loud speaker for alikke a PA system etc.

[@trude_in_adelaide]

Pretty sure that rack is for over a toilet. Usually good for limited space in small apartments, homes studio apartments etc.

[@bigapple134]

not over the toilet in this case, that bottom shelf precludes over the toilet. More likely to store towels and toiletries in a bathroom with limited storage space

[@trude_in_adelaide]

Bottom of it looked open. USA have the flush on the side or the front of the cistern. So i still stick with my over the loo theory 😁🌸

[@trude_in_adelaide]

Cause also too there would be shelving all the way down Not stopping part way. ✌🌸

[@karenn993]

@@trude_in_adelaide looked to me like there were shelves all the way down.

[@sand3882]

Yes, definitely over the toilet rack because it has no shelves lower than where the top of the toilet tank would be. Also toilet shelves are not very deep. They only stick away from the wall about the same distance as the tank.

[@maryclendenin8565]

Always test the trash picked mini fridges before scrapping them because in my case 90 percent of the manual defrost ones i find work.

I need one really bad. I wish one would just show up on the side of the road. Lots on Offer Up & Let Go.

Great score on the metal there Stacks. That dresser was a good find. Saving the earth. One piece of scrap at a time.

[@christinatravis6686]

Beautiful mid-century dresser . Very little damage , but fixable . In my opinion that's worth at least $100 - $150. On a good day $200.00 .

[@rebeccanichols1165]

Great dresser, really good finds and haul.

[@OriginalNethead]

Throw some plastic sheeting or a moving blanket (or any old trash-picked blanket) in the van to protect future furniture finds. (oh dear that alliterates.... I almost typed illiterates, possibly more fitting but not the correct word....)

[@verettejones9510]

HEY TACO SWEET FIND ON THE DRESSER .I LOVE WATCHING YOU .SO NICE RACKS YA HAD TO LAUGH AT THAT.PEACE ✌✌✌✌✌✌✌✌✌🐕🐕🐕🐕🐕🐕🐕

[@DonCrowder]

That horn is, in fact, a speaker. The name on it is probably University. It's akin to the outdoor speakers used in sports stadiums. That particular size is more often seen on Little League fields. You can test it with a one and a half volt alkaline (or heavy duty) battery between the wires. You'll hear a popping/scratching noise when you connect the battery. Even if it's bad, it's affordably repairable it might be worth a few bucks to the right person.

[@jacquelinehealy1797]

Thanks for the entertainment, a lot of fun to watch.

[@PudgyPicker]

I just bought a ProMaster City for my reselling business and am really loving it! It even has a second row bench seat that folds up out of the way. TFS!

[@cathyschonberger]

That dresser should go much higher than $30. Maybe start at $100 or more?

[@stressfreepaperchase3215]

Yes 150 carpenter special. A lot more in California.

[@Syzygy629]

I agree

[@mary-anneswanson9931]

Hi Taco :) That "nice rack" is for back of the toilet lol The horn looks like something from a twister movie . It might be a good idea to bring a heavy tarp or furniture blanket with you so when you find a nice piece you don't have to worry about damaging it. Have a great evening :)

[@kathrynlay7428]

Great furniture. Small Damage no big deal to people who love to refinish or paint it. When we had an antique booth in the heyday of painted furniture we loved getting inexpensive pieces at the flea market. Those organizer boxes are cool too.

[@elainetreadwell5576]

The shelving rack you picked up with the toilet paper holder is mean to go over & behind the toilet. It can hold towels for company or Knick-knacks or extra rolls of toilet paper if you don’t have the toilet paper holder/dispenser. That unit is used if your house/apartment does not come with a wall mounted cabinet. Caio!

[@mhyrim28]

I love trash picking day! Was happy to see the notification that you just uploaded a new vid! And so I watched this after seeing it. Take care Taco and stay hydrated! :)

[@howardwillison8508]

You need to go to Harbor Freight and pick up a couple of moving pads. They’re about $5.00 a piece and sometimes they have in store coupons that make them cheaper. Either that or does the van have tie- downs? Stand the furniture up and tie it down. Fun as always. Keep saving the earth.

[@kevinburford1645]

You need to watch scrapper 24/7 and watch how he breaks down metal or aluminum chairs before he loads them in his vanit's also funny he also carries a battery operated sawzall he will also cut stuff up alongside the road before he loads in the van. He also has a clip where he picked up a box with those little drawers like you picked up but his were full of screws and he did not put them in the van properly and of course he went around the corner and you could hear everything spill out on the floor

[@lakelassie934]

Agree. Pickers are intruding on people's property and privacy and the neighbors have varied feelings about all the parked trucks, mess, and noise. Best to pick up free goodies and get out of Dodge fast if picking. One guy stopped at my neighbor's trash cans across alley and took more than an hour to block alley and go thru everything. Tossed it all around. Neighborhood Dogs were going nuts at the noise, we all stopped to look, and it would have been the last straw if that goof had started to repack his truck in a neat and orderly fashion.

[@lakelassie934]

Pretty dresser. My guess is 40s/50s. My parents married in 1946 and that is what their first bedroom set looked like. Right after the war so some short cuts were made as the factories didn't have all the materials needed to fill the needs when the solders came home, married, and started new households. But any damage you see like on loose front, good quality glue will fix up and some touchup wood color from Home Dept or Ace will blend chip right in.
