Trash Picking Rich Neighborhoods - Filled the Van

[@donnadelacruz3630]

I love that you scrap and save the earth. I just moved out of my house of 16 years and scrapped as much as I could. I only got 11 dollars but it was a full van of stuff. My kids were like it wasn’t worth it but I said it was just to keep it out of the landfills. I knew to do this coz of your channel. Thanks.

[@RedStickHistorian]

I had a similar experience cleaning out my Dad's shop. I only got a few dollars but I was happy to have a place to dump the scrap.

[@geraldineklatt7914]

I want to help you pack your van , I am here saying if you stacked it better you could fit a ton more 🇺🇸

[@carolineerdmann3631]

That's what i keep saying. My hubby and I used to pick up stuff all the time you have put it towards the front and start packing it and back but you kind of just throw it in and don't have any room for other big things. You are doing what you doing so have a nice day.

[@jenesisjones6706]

He "likes" this type of post, but never changes his terrible "packing" habits. I gave up on him lol

[@Susi-Saks]

YES! Geraldine ... LOL.. said the same when I first started watching the channel.. and everyone thinks that .. makes me cringe sometimes... now I just think it ... he was worst a couple of years ago... but oh well...

[@tetav5263]

He drives me crazy with how he loads his van, he could get twice the amount and not damage half the stuff he picks

[@dianna3157]

Most of the time I think Taco is a really smart man, and then I see his packing “skills”… LOL

[@lbcruzn6254]

Yes Taco and the beautiful Salsa! Those red cans are the smallest wet garbage cans.Probably an older couple live there.I have the same size as it's only me and my pooch their cheaper.Another fun treasure run.Like a box of chocolates you never know what ur going to get?👍😀🙏♥️🇺🇸

[@shananigans0117]

I really like the garbage and scrap pick ups you do, feels great to see things being rescued from going to a landfill

[@schamblin45]

Those classic VWs are fun to drive, with their ferocious 60 HP! I had one as a teenager and loved it! A classic car and a daily dose of "Stacks Stuff" NIIIIIICE!

[@lisauptagrafft2010]

Steve Chamblin it was my first car, too as a teenager! I loved mine, even without a radio or air conditioner, it was my favorite car! I put that poor little thing through hell, before I finally wrapped it around a telephone pole! But, I walked away with very few injuries despite totally it. Ahh, good times lol😂

[@schamblin45]

@@lisauptagrafft2010 Wow! Thank goodness you're alright! But, oh yes, great times, lots of fun in those days!

[@cincin9543]

Totally love your videos..the "speed up" cracked me up! Everyones a critic about your packing skills .but its totally different when you're actually pickin! And you're double parked on the street etc

[@lisacochran6846]

You get like $25 for a load of scrap but if you would have picked that dresser with Mirror you could at least got $25 or more for it . You do what you like but it might make it easier to just sell some of this stuff ! Thanks for taking me along with you today !🌞🌼🌸🌺

[@shelleybuckley444]

I’m happy to see your normal, a man packing a van has attitude! Just teasing

[@pattiwhite9575]

That worked out great. Stuff was still there when you got back over there. Two trips to dump in one shift. That worked out great too. LMAO when you where loading that stuff and started to struggle with it so you speed up the video. Hilarious!!

[@gabrielesattler9213]

Great haul,Taco..Yes,you certainly contribute to cleaning up the environment.😊

[@cathifamjourney469]

Most of those chairs will stack. Come on Taco Stacks....stack the chairs! Lol💺 💺 💺

[@ChgoBulll]

Always great to spend time with you .

Nice day of pickin' Taco Stacks! I enjoyed this and all your videos!

Another fun adventure with taco stacks.Peace! Keep living the dream!

[@tashalodge1340]

In the least creepy possible way 😅 just seriously love how resourceful you are!

[@sand3882]

Take it easy, Taco. You still don't sound like you feel great, and you're coughing. Be careful. We care about you.

[@charlenekociuba7396]

Hi Taco. I had a creative thought, would do this myself if I had one. The firepit, appears decorative. Soooo, if you are inclined, you can paint it with Rustoleum, emphasizing the pattern. Then you can fill it with potting mix for flowers or a compost/manure mix for veggies. You have depth there for either type. I think it would be nice in your place, where you plan to put the chairs out for company, to have something nice growing ( and contained). It's quite easy, just water when dryish. I'm going to look for such a thing now. Have at it. NICE new deck, I like the color. It matches your driveway. What is that stone called?

[@Jane5720]

Yeah I think you should have kept that

[@alexreyx77]

Too late....

[@joselbazcom4221]

God bless you. (at minute 2:32 and 2:34 sneezes).

[@lanethelion5540]

Love watching you pick trash!!

[@maryf6139]

Haven’t watched for a while.....nice to back hanging out with you again....Boston Ma

[@lesliejohnson7247]

We have automated pickup so that’s why good stuff is NOT left out. Once in a blue moon, someone leaves something good. Most of the time it’s an old couch that no one wants. The put a FREE sign out. After a week or so it’s gotten rained on & perhaps it’s taken to the trash. The good stuff is only there for seconds. Lol I’m so jealous of you guys in the eastern part of the US.

[@karenpacker8862]

Always surprises me what people throw ....but thank goodness for you picking it up!!! We try to stay out of Walmart as much as possible!!!!

[@michaelschuenemann3505]

HI - YOU SHOULD HAVE A RECIPROCATING SAW IN YOUR TRUCK TO CUT DOWN BULKY CHAIRS ETC - SOME SCRAPPERS DO THAT AND YOU WOULD HAVE SO MUCH MORE ROOM FOR MORE SCRAP PIECES - JUST A THOUGHT ! ANOTHER BRILLIANT DAY OF SCRAPPING AND PLEASE STAY SAVE AND HEALTHY AND CHEERS FROM AUSTRALIA !!!!

[@verettejones9510]

Hi Taco Stacks. It's a beautiful day to save the earth. It sure was a metal day . I'm glad your out there doing what you do. PEACE✌✌✌✌✌💯💯💯💯💖💖💖💖🐕🐕🐕🐕🐕💯💯💯💯

[@DonVDBorgh]

Great day out. I'm always glad when you set the camera down to handle large and/or heavy items. Just safer. Stay safe. See you next time.

[@sevenbells96]

OMG Taco Stacks it's golden treasures trash picking day round 2. Hugs and Kisses for Queen Salsa. GREAT VIDEO AND GREAT CONTENT. THUMBS-UP ALWAYS!!!!!!!

[@wendyreinmiller8992]

OMG. When you were showing your house I thought dang that looks familiar. Then I saw your address. I grew up in stockertown!! Lived on main St. For 20 yrs. Nazareth has the best trash picking and yard sales. College Hill too! 😁😁

[@denisewalberg5803]

I love watching your videos, but your stacking abilities drives me nuts! Lol! I’ve been watching for awhile now & nothing has changed in that department. Do you just not want to take the time to do a better job? Either way your fans will keep watching, but we will still be yelling at our screens! Have a good weekend!

[@marilynward7681]

Denise Walberg I totally agree I get frustrated with the packing a BIG van and hardly anything in it

[@lynnanir]

I think he does it on purpose. It gets comments on his videos. The more the comments the more money he gets.

[@nancymorrison9978]

Good to know I'm not the only one screaming! LOL😂

[@dianna3157]

I also find it amusing that I’ve heard him call himself OCD a few times, his OCD must stand for something else entirely. LOL

[@tammygaines3455]

Love your channel! I don't know a lot about vans, but, I think you need some padding to protect the interior. Just because you pick up scrap metal doesn't mean you want your vehicle to look like scrap metal!! LOL!!!

[@user-nd5hr4wq6o]

you could use the zip-ties to put up one of the net carriers up near the ceiling of the truck and put all the things you use all the time. broom, ...... it would not be in the way up there, you usually don't go that high in stacking.

[@tammyroyal7547]

A beautiful day & a really full van plus!! Makes for a great day for Taco!! Headboard was nice. Take care of yourself ✌️

[@TheOldMansPicks]

Install a couple of eye bolts into the roof braces and slide your broom through them. Always at hand and out of the way.

[@trude_in_adelaide]

Heeey Mr Taco. Hey Stackers. Pats for the lovely Salsa. Hey im actually awake. Lol. 2.23am here currently. Stay safe and wash your hands! 😊

Good job! Glad to see you grabbed a lot of scrap.

[@jayneconnors4583]

Drives me nuts and shout at you Taco stacks ya van properly lol

[@pippastone6018]

Hey you could try organising when you load your van instead of just throwing it all in any old how, just a thought 🤓

[@alanatolstad4824]

Being used to listen to Dave's rambling commentary, listening to yours occasionally sounds like a man talking to himself! Bizarre! I used to be a ward clerk on a meds-surg-peds unit, having to handle doctor's orders when they were done. We had two doctors who had a habit of talking to themselves, but I just never knew so I'd have to ask them "Should I be listening to you?" I find myself wanting to ask you the same thing...deja vu!---Always interesting to see what is allowed in different parts of the country...everything has to go into bins in my part of California. We have to make appointments for large items, or pay to have the big trucks come for specific hauls.---I was surprised I didn't hear a lot of birdsong on your travels today...

[@inkiwell]

You are such a hard worker! #respect

[@tinadots]

Good job saving things from the landfill keep up the good work. Love the videos

[@davidadams9391]

Got my maroon T-shirt! 👍👍👍. Thanks 😊

[@brianh.9268]

Taco, We have 3 sizes of carts in our city; rates are based by the size of the garbage cart as that’s what goes to the landfill. They call it, “pay as you throw” to encourage recycling. Sizes of yard waste and recycling carts are customer’s choice. Hydrate up and stay hydrated as you work in the heat and humidity. No College World Series ⚾️ this year. 😢 Brian (near Omaha) sends best.

Just ordered a pink hat, will look nice with the gray shirt I already have! :)

[@debbiecorsino1357]

good morning to you sir have great day ,, keep safe enjoy your trash picking day

[@rutroh9647]

Yes, the black plastic weed blocker is expensive. Sheet mulching with cardboard is better for the environment, your plants, and is cheap. It is super simple, KZbin videos abound on the topic. I sheet mulched with cardboard an entire hillside of invasive ivy three years ago. The hillside is still ivy free. My tip: Saturate the cardboard with water before applying compost/mulch on top. Yeeew.

[@goldiegolden2254]

Rut Roh, What good info. TY

[@debbeshumaker1722]

I wish I could get that head board I would put it in the ground and plant flowers in front of it. I am jealous you have such good stuff out for trash.

[@lynndora5046]

I said the same thing about the xl zip tie but used them to hang fishing poles in the basement rafters

[@pamelabrown7204]

Hey, he could use them to create loops to hang the broom off the floor and out of the way. Bet he won't, though. 😉

[@wendycochran5976]

Nice live trap. It should sell at the flea mkt. I cant believe you scrapped the live trap. It looked in good shape.

[@arquivoyager2010]

Couldn't you refurbish / overhaul some items (like the outdoor chairs) in order to sell them on the flea market or on ebay? I do it sometimes, although such stuff is very rare in by neighborhood.

That fire pit sells great on the marketplace!!!

[@jennilang721]

You're probably great at jenga. We bought a new furnace and central ac unit. When they took the old ones away, I asked dh why he didn't take it to the scrapyard. He told me it wasn't worth much. He's such a dream killer. :`(

[@melindamoore9449]

You find the best stuff!

[@kilngoddess424]

About those smaller bins you pointed out: In my town you can request a smaller bin than the normal bin so if the big bin is too heavy for you to handle there is a small option for the elderly or people with mobility issues.

[@JulieMcGuigan]

We have that too here in the uk. Smaller bins also good if you live on your own and don't produce that much rubbish.

[@virginiacollis4580]

Hey Taco luv to watch u but u drive me nuts the way u put stuff in yr can. If u stacked the things different u could get more in there. Instead of just throwing it in there stack it. I know cuz I've had a lot of practice. Happy hunting.🥴

[@henrys3629]

Hence the name Stacks. Try stacking stuff all purdy that mostly is scrap.

[@kristinemarkle4367]

But that's why he's called TACO STACKS !

[@sand3882]

@@kristinemarkle4367 , it's a college nickname.

[@pamelabrown7204]

You also have to remember although most of the interactions on this channel are pleasant, people can be very possessive of their trash, so the fast you can snag and run, the less hassles you are risking. Not to mention, the faster you collect the stuff, the higher your per hour return. Think of it as an accounting thing.

[@npproneck34]

“Taco Toss” 🤔😃

[@jacquiliddell1811]

Taco you gotta staco your finds better (especially chairs, they should stack on top of each other) you would get a lot more in xxxx

[@denimlabels7315]

Scrappers always find nice stainless grills. I keep them until the bottom falls out. Seems people throw these out after a year or two.

[@pamelabrown7204]

Some people seem to have more money than sense!

I'm not going to buy a grill and I really need one. I'm going to shop for a nice Weber roadside. I would rather spend 500$ on beer.

[@rman8028]

Jumping on the better stacking bandwagon after saying your bush @ home is a rhododendron with an 'n'. Now, about stacking, get some bungee cords and bungee stuff against the walls! Those screens will stay put with one 5-6 ft bungee cord. I'll restrain myself from the 'get a ramp' advice. That is probably more trouble than it's worth. Take it from the self-appointed, self-appointed, one and only Tetris-King. I've loaded the family road warrior for many road trips and always find a way to pack it all for the return trip!

Smaller cans, smaller trash bill.

Lower property taxes for smaller bins here in Toronto. Default were the biggest they offered but smart smaller families who recycle and use the city compost bins can save money. We also put our house numbers on our bins so the neighbours don’t try switching. 😂
