Dumpster Diving Street Scrapping - Actually kind of Awesome

[@durfkludge]

Hahaha "Dumpster FOMO," I am very familiar with this sensation. Any day I don't go out salvaging I think "man I bet the electrician shop dumpster is FULL of breaker boxes and bus bars today..."

I spent the entire day at the hospital with my wife- whom needed to have her gallbladder removed. I'm tired as heck, at least there's youtube to help calm the nerves at the end of the day.

One of the most frustrating things is seeing other people scrapping stuff that I personally could use, immediately. Things that, only a crazy person would ever actually try to resell, so it makes perfect sense to scrap. My house needs new gutters and rain leaders. Odds are I drive within a few minutes of your house on the way to Home Depot to buy the exact thing you just scrapped. Oh well, things be like they do.

Hey Thub I live in your neighbor to the south in the United States. I have been a long time subscriber of yours. I love your content I generally watch it when I have some spare time to fuel my writing hobby or when I am just feeling down. Your content always manages to put a smile on my face Keep up the great work.

I’m glad I can be a part of your day, and I’m glad you’re here! This channel helps me a lot when I’m feeling down too ☺️

luck comes for those who work hard to find it. Nice little bonus.

[@vincedibona4687]

I like all your material, but the street scraps are my fave; they are most like what I do. I might get an eyebrow raise on this one, but I really enjoy when Drake goes out walking in the snow, bottle-picking and scrapping. 👍🏻

[@thubprint]

I loooove those days ☺️ you’ve been here for awhile now so I know you saw when I set those runs aside and my reasoning for doing so, but I also said at that time that we’d still do them once in awhile. They don’t get great views, but I think I lived life better when I started each day with a slow early walk every day

[@pattonger]

I jumped in my first bin today. Had all the gas lines from the house along with the mast for the electrical and peobably 1/3 of the houses electrical including all the large wires. I'm sold on looking in bins.

[@johnsharp8627]

The bowling alley stuff was a great find!

[@Gbienek1]

Nice finds fellow panda!! I love scrapping as it turns cooler!! And colder; means water heaters and furnaces galore where I’m currently at in west Texas.

[@MadelineRose-ep7fj]

Just emphasized what is wasted by dumping in a landfill! Builder should give you some $$ for emptying the bin!😊

[@shaystern2453]

those are some hefty gutters...fine editing (shelves )

[@sleepybadtzmaru]

I went by one of my little treasure holes and picked up 16 computers that had been trashed. Only the power supply, mother boards, a few processor chips, heat sinks, and cd drive remained in them. I took them home, scrapped them down. hauled the cases in for the steel since they take up so much room. Swung by afterwards and there were 16 more and 8 laptops minus the batteries there and about 20 lbs of scrap cat5. That and microwave broadcast antenna with 22 lbs of heavy caste aluminum and a Hersey bar sized circuit board with one side covered in gold was my weekend.

[@Nobe_Oddy]

ANY day you spend out in the nice weather, getting to explore a bit, interacting with nice people, getting a bit of exercise, and coming home with more money than when you left, THAT is a GOOD DAY!!! :D - Glad to see you enjoying it all too! :) I hope YOU have a FANTASTIC weekend and an AMAZING WEEK!!! SEE YA NEXT FRIDAY THUB!

Nice double run!

[@Gbienek1]

If it’s near the dumpster, it’s fair game. Same here in West Texas… I spoke with a few sheriffs and they said if it’s in the alleyways, it up for grabs….

[@johngastineau653]

I thought that the dog was going to jump into the truck. Great bonus at the end. ✌️👍✌️

[@Detts1990]

Little surprised u didn’t strip the lumex. I spoke to you a few weeks ago on my comment about taking things apart like motors and what not to get the copper out and if it’s worth it. It doesn’t seem to be but I have noticed stripping certain wire is very worth it which I found from u. Highly recommend upgrading to an automatic wire stripper oppose to the drill powered. Wow what a difference. I definitely take stripping wire over taking things apart. When it comes to what is worth it. Upgrading the wire and copper prices is well worth it.

[@richavic4520]

Out and about is fun, but think about the fuel you saved. Either way, it's Thubprint Friday!

[@rickymcdicky1469]

Happy to see a new video! Is dumpster diving in winter possible/viable? If not, what do you do to keep busy in the winter? I’m 1 province over and want to scrap in the winter but I only found out that dumpster diving even exists just earlier this summer. Thanks, have a good one.

[@thubprint]

Oh I totally go treasure hunting in the winter! Although it’s also a good time to process stuff at home if the pickings aren’t as good, so I’ll go through my motor and transformer stash for one thing

Hey bro, what's the story behind thubprint, did you mean to type thumbprint and forgot the m?

[@thubprint]

Nope, that’s all the letters I ever intended! It started out as an acronym for a zine I was making, which was also an onomatopoeia. Apologies for the non-answer, it’s mostly just a made up word haha

[@derekelliott6098]

I've watched a myriad of your videos. I like the "processing" and taking apart ones more. However, I cant say Ive seen any compilations. More so of the "strange, unusual, and high value" finds would be cool. I.E. you ever find a Nakamichi or high end audio equipment? Guns or other crime items? If so, what did you do about that? Ive asked about finding sterling silver. You ever find any chunky gold, titanium, or the like? That video, regardless of how you compile it would be cool.

[@thatcanada]

Normally when you show prices they are pretty much in line with what we are getting here, but that sheet alum price - ouch! It's twice that here.

Scrap is one thing a persons tools are different id definitely ask the home owner

Does scrapping slow significantly in the winter? I am in the southern states and it does not snow here.

Allday everyday 🤑 when its freezing cold cables doesnt curl like in the summer when its hot and its frustrating

[@wnytrashtrucks]

man I wish the gutter place up the street from me threw out all of their stuff. There is plenty of scraps, but the only real gutter and downspout pieces that end up in the dumpster are steel.

By collecting the scrap you actually make the person pay less because metal is heavy. #legalizedumpsterdiving
