Dumpster Diving - Beautiful day Finding Treasures!

What a gorgeous day for dumpster diving! Headed out with an empty truck with a plan to find all sorts of treasures in the trash, and the day did not disappoint. Honestly a great haul of brass, aluminum, and even a whole bin of scrap copper wire. Street scrapping win!
Wire stripper I use: amzn.to/3sirg18
The motorized stripper: amzn.to/3y0JMuQ
The wire cutters I like: amzn.to/2T6j3OW
This is the cheaper version: amzn.to/2SwrYsB
And here are those grips I recommend: amzn.to/2QCJmYl

This lumber worth gold nowadays...

[@trackjosh]

Fox fork should be worth it for resale.

[@vincedibona4687]

They were broken.

[@jaffe28]

You're job definitely saves you from needing a gym membership.

[@bobbyjbear]

I drive roll off truck so I'm around dumpsters all day , everyday, there is always pile of copper in my storage unit !

[@whatsgoingon1011]

you indecisiveness cracks me up sometimes...lol

[@JohnSmith-ki2eq]

I'm amazed by the amount of rugs I see dumped, they're not that hard to clean if you have a pressure washer and a squeegee, the pressure washer doesn't even have to be a big one.

[@ohdannyboy4727]

I hear you on that. Most people dont have the time, energy, or desire to learn simple stuff. As well as get the basic tools. It really is unfortunate creates more waste and people spend more hard earned money. 🍻

[@JohnSmith-ki2eq]

@@E-hab True, but if you can get one then it makes it a lot faster, and you'll get better results. I've done it both ways and my back likes the pressure washer better

[@TheRealRedFlashlight]

Been known to take them to a coin-operated car Wash. The kind that has clips on the wall to hang your car's floor mats. Then you just put in some quarters and power wash away! It even includes soap. The point is you don't have to own a pressure washer to get your rugs clean fast and cheap.

[@ohdannyboy4727]

@@TheRealRedFlashlight good idea and simple didnt think of that

[@danielsteward5090]

There is a guy that washes rugs on his you tube channel, quite satisfying to watch.

[@DavidGS66]

As for bottles, best day was July 1 Canada Day at Alberta Legislature when I made $240, but I worked 24 hours, all night, had flashlight, hex wrench to open garbages & gloves for diapers. As soon as Sun came up time was up because cleaners with blowers showed up, except I could still jump in the remaing bin, ripped open all bags & threw bottles outside. I crushed all bottles into 4 bags, & tied 2 bags together on each shoulder. Glass got stashed in gravel box at transit station, which I came back for. Weather has to be perfect & it helped that welfare recipients were busy partying. I also found booze & food. At $10/hr, you have to be open to salvaging food too -- if it's clean.

[@richardwarnock2789]

That lumber looked good lumber being still high in the states

[@MrRattymiller]

Worth more then his truck that amount of lumber lol

[@sdanbewa]

The worst part about watching you dumpster dive (actually anyone that dumpster dives), is seeing you struggle trying to get an item(s) out of the dumpster and I want to jump through the screen and help you out but I can't! Great finds! Looking forward to the scrapyard run!!

[@joeluk123]

Totally get that notion. Find myself want to yell through the screen some good info to help him out of a frustrating situation.

[@demoniack81]

For me the worst part is how it's all mixed together, which means it's ALL ending up in a landfill. Here in Italy you'd never see this except in places where assholes have dumped some trash illegally.

[@groovethief711]

@@demoniack81 the way i see it hes doing Gods work and earning a living. Win WIN!

[@MattsAwesomeStuff]

Those 2x4s and 2x6s are worth more than the metal you picked up :p. Still close to a buck a foot.

[@BushDogScrapper]

my grandpa has brass bars like that foe foot rests along the bottom front on his old western bar in his basement! very nice score!

[@lorand-edmondiszlai9416]

those boots are the good $$ ones :D You can always donate them to the scrapyard guys Nice video, a long type one...

[@gravitybear]

Good brass finds! Brass is my favorite metal to find, I just love all the places it pops up. When I started scrapping I happened across the dumpster being used to clear out the old Lutheran school in my neighborhood. It was an old school building with brass everything. The building was being refurbished before being sold to a charter school and they threw out everything including what must have been the maintenance guys storehouse of spare parts: plumbing, electrical, mechanical, even a bunch of old wall mount pencil sharpeners. Good times!

Reasoning behind nitrous in paintball is to not freeze internals and go through a million o-rings due to co2 freezing, way better alternative using no2, longer lasting guns and parts gaskets etc

[@vinnienowhere1015]

Use the hammer thub! Use the hammer! Smash that sink to pieces! 😂. Nice vid! Tc

[@KevinEllisGuitars]

Nice!

[@christysbutterfly1612]

Great finds!!

[@mollynakamori]

I sure do love me a nice long dumpster dive!

[@lisevivier1878]

Great clean stuff.

[@livvyweimar7362]

Adding a comment for the algorithm.

[@BOOT]

Always cool how you find containers & bags to reuse

[@billhuman448]

good finds nice weather

[@patriciaramirez5632]

I gotta say, when I first saw you, I wasn't too impressed. But as I continue to watch you, you seem to be getting better all the time. Now I can't wait to see your next video.

[@ladykaos8080]

You forgot the big o laying right there. Its worth lots of money

[@ironangel667]

On that sink drain. The very top is a separate piece threaded on.

[@seansteezychannel9777]

The fork suspension may be expensive too, I'd love a follow up for what ya did with the tanks and suspension

[@vincedibona4687]

Those wheel hubs probably came off of a “dooley” (dually) truck. Nice find!

[@thubprint]

Oh, could be!

[@MegaDirtyberty]

If scrapping was my only job I would be grabbing things like those boots, cleaning em up and sellin em.

[@stephenmullen5301]

In that bin were your friend (bottle and can friend) said was load of scrap, a mobile phone slipped down as you dug a little deeper,,

[@shadyjosh5]

The fox forks are worth some cash on ebay, resell before scrap

[@vincedibona4687]

They were broken.

[@joeluk123]

What I usually do with longer poles to make them fit is, I put it up under the back of the truck and then you can lift up on it. Works pretty good for most long poles or pipes.

[@thubprint]

That actually sounds pretty clever 👌

[@UltimatelyEverything]

That's why it pays to have new friends in different places they can give you info on places that might be good for you when you're doing what Thud does.

I miss paint ball, well speedball which is tiny 3 man team course

Thanks Bush dog!

Great video thank you for sharing 😃

[@stephensmith3708]

Now let this be a lesson my Crazy Canadian Bohemian Cousin, sometimes you need to dig through the trash to find the GOLD. Whoop, there it iiiissssz! Hope you like that bronze alloy with the maple 🍁.......

[@andrzej_autko]

lol @ that fox shock i'd kill for one

[@CaptainAaron]

Awesome scores! Thx for helping inspire me to do my own scrap videos :)

[@lordblazerpsx]

use the regular dumpsters part where they pick it up to bend bars or under the open door one

[@vincedibona4687]

Yep! Learned that quickly and have shown others the “trick”. 👍🏻

[@DavidGS66]

What does he mean it's OK not to get brass out of sink. As a last resort, I'd smash sink with hammer to get it out. When in doubt, smash.

[@williammeeks1283]

Awesome finds as usual.

[@afineliner740]

Good number of dumpsters, but they were a little light on rewards. Still not too shabby, especially those truck rotors. 👍

[@thubprint]

True, but it still felt like a decent afternoon 😁 guess I just have to start hitting more dumpsters per day!

[@its_marc]

Pains me seeing all that good wood scrapped. Can’t save everything though

[@ebikescrapper3925]

The valves inside inner tubes are brass.

[@thatcanada]

I swear I live in the only Canadian city where no open top bins are put out on the street - here every bin/construction area is fenced, secured 24/7 and enforced by Dumpster Rangers.

[@derekelliott6098]

Why dont you clip the handles of the buckets off? "It all adds up"

[@bigcountryscrapper6885]

Another awsome video

[@MrRattymiller]

On site stripping is the way forward, i collect on my walks . So if it dont fit in my backpack i cant have it , so stripping the goodness on site helps

[@seansteezychannel9777]

hoping you didnt scrap the nitrous paintball tank, co2 cheap nitrous resell good money

[@helfarkmar5043]

Supersized ep!

[@fernandomantovani2998]

Great vid

[@Warpcaller]

Hey, we got a video early this week!

[@peterdidonato1590]

Way to go you found two of the treasures plastic bottles and aluminum cans aluminum cans are worth more than aluminum siding trust me. Why do you pass up doors with metal handles on them either brass or titanium?

[@TheUltimateRecycler]

It must be dumpster season!! 😁

[@thubprint]

Getting into it now!

[@vinceromano8245]

For your safety when you run the risk of stepping on nails inside of dumpsters get a pair of safety shoes with steel inserts that are in the bottom of the shoes. I will gladly send you the funds to purchase them. Let me know how to get you the funds. A small contribution on my part for watching a dedicated and hard working guy.

You said to leave it better than you find it but at 22:22 take the hubs but left the trash on the floor...

Do you do your treasure hunt during the winter too?

[@Bentley_thebestman]

5 bucks rn for those fox shocks

[@victorpryor9403]

I like watching this stuff it's therapeutic but he puts all that effort in for bigger pieces of metal but the second big dumbster I saw I literally counted $50 worth of just cans he just ignored like where I live it's up to .45 cents a can. you can collect cans for less effort and be paid basically more

[@vanmasterflash7153]

Scrap prices are horrific in my city. Greedy bastards are giving .25 per lb on clean aluminum and $1.50 a pound for clean brass. Copper is $2.75 per lb for clean. Total rip offs

[@spangdeez498]

It’s kinda hard to get rid of those tanks at about the 10 minute mark - gotta kinda hide them in your regular house trash (a simple way to rid of them) …. What do they sell for? Or is it just considered junk metal?

[@spangdeez498]

I guess I commented a little early .. so you use them for a soda stream or just refill them, aye???

[@ellisstan]

so you get paid for plastic bottles ???

[@theodorelueker5057]

Keep your stick on the ice.

[@loveisalliam]

Why do you collect cans and bottles.

[@williamstockdale4833]

👽👽❤❤

[@deepstate8474]

Isn't a dumpster or garbage can considered private property?

[@paulcoenen7918]

Yes , so don't ever take the dumpsters or garbage cans.I😄

[@vincedibona4687]

In the USA, dumpster diving has been declared legal by the Supreme Court, as long as you are not trespassing.

[@Heavymedicine1]

Yes it’s considered abandoned property if it’s been set out to the curb for trash pickup which allows the police to search your garbage for evidence of a crime without requiring a search warrant.

[@wooddog52]

Good finds....Is the grunting and groaning added for Our benefit or are you just that feeble?

[@drowningpooralice5505]

I use a bag for cans and bottles, sort of like a feed bag, it would save a little time. No offense but , your OCD is off the charts, you dilly daly in the field way to much. Why screw two pieces of threaded pipe together, that you are scrapping ?

[@debow2550]

Do you ever get yelled at I feel like if you do you don't show it

[@thubprint]

I show it every single time I get yelled at 😆 that’s good content! It very rarely happens though
