Dumpster Diving Street Scrapping - It's a Public Service!

Dumpster diving adventures and street scrapping some trash! After starting with a truck full of steel to deliver and a large pickup of mixed metal scrap, we continue the day with a little treasure hunting through the waste streams. Overall a fantastic day of making money from the trash!

Watching you work, never gets old.😊

Only a fellow scrapper appreciate the phrase " Wow, that's some high quality junks" You can work on your collection on those cold winter days

[@bradmcgill2709]

(Tennessee/Georgia USA) Love that your vids seem REAL, warts and all. Love that you scrap, sell, fix things, donate and give gifts. Wish we could see more of your yard sales. You could shoot low angle and edit people out. I/we would NOT complain if all your vids were an Hour long. Can't get enough of a good thing, ya know. Bought my 1st ever angle grinder yesterday.

Every time dad puts something in the alley mom says... nobody is going to take that junk... and it always goes. 😂

[@RHYGAR1]

nice day

[@wendymorrison5803]

I agree. The more metal recovered and reused the better. Scrappers work hard to keep the cycle moving.

[@kaysay716]

Thub congrats on being such a wonderful human and father. Wub will always know how to be self sufficient, no matter what path he takes.

Shred is 210 a ton in ontario down from 320 in june

[@scottybeescrapped4429]

6 weeks ago shred was $340/ton now it's 205 it sucks. Everything down here in Windsor, Ontario. Bare bright 3.60, #2 insulated is .30!!!! Was 1.25. Good vid !

[@ryanclefford3127]

I’m glad he has the truck now. Watching his videos back in the day when he skipped Steel felt like such a shame

[@thubprint]

Agreed! I didn’t realize how silly I was being, the steel is a pretty major part of making any money scrapping

[@alfazio8880]

What!!! and I'm the first to view it?!😎

[@kimhallums9166]

Watching you fit all that in the truck was like Tetris.

[@hisandherscoins]

Well tin in my area is only 40 US dollars so I’m stacking it up still next year

[@iffy9776]

You keep doing the thing it makes me get up and go do the thing.. I have about a 100 kgs of wire which needs stripping. Too lazy at moment after watching you I am all energised.

[@williamjohnson2105]

many window screens are nylon, but if they are metal then older ones tend to be an aluminum-magnesium alloy, and newer ones can be stainless steel

[@Naymy]

Is it weird my first thought was "Dude just kidnapped a little girl off the street" instead of "What a nice father/daughter relationship he has with his kid"

I love the dumpster diving videos!!!!! It's an amazing treasure hunt

Great video. Love to see what the alleys will bring forth. The car door would have gone with me. If it had any value, it would have been inside the fence you would think! Be safe.

Love the video my guy

[@Warpcaller]

Good relaxing video, keep up the good work!

[@davidrosaschi342]

How do you tell the difference between a "stash" and a "donation" to scrappers? Both piles looked the same to me. Assorted stuff, rusted, by the trash cans, etc.

[@happydog8072]

For me, it all matters how it’s presented. If it’s nicely stacked, higher quality metal like in the video and somewhat far away from the cans I won’t touch it. If it’s just dumped there with lower quality metal and un organized then I’ll take it. That’s mine and possibly his as well.

[@jimrodia4190]

We tell all the contractors to stack the metal outside the cans but some of them can’t be bothered

[@eugene251]

Your videos are always great.Keep going bro.

[@tommymadden9746]

Good seeing you again Thub. 5 cents a pound in northern Ohio. Steel is the meal still

[@paulcoenen7918]

Steel seems to me just a free riding hitchhiker, 4 cents a pound for me.😖 Gota take it tho if you want the good stuff that goes with it I guess. 👍

[@MissCanadian]

Shred is a little over 12 cents here in Ontario

[@theodorelueker5057]

Good to see you out there doing your thing. I see you got the best little helper in the world with you. Oh I just realized I had not rang the bell so I was subscribed but was not being notified. I had been wondering how you were doing. Glad I caught this one. Great work.

[@fletchfletcher1634]

Easy way of doin' a grill..(or anything).., keep an impact Drill with a long Phillips head bit in your truck, (and other bits of course) take the grills out , toss in truck, zip off the top of the grill should be 4 screws. lift it onto the truck, then the base is six to eight screws and the it all lays flat.. and most grills the open bar is aluminum.

[@williammeeks1283]

Awesome work as always and on behalf of the planet and all its inhabitants.....Thank you!!!

[@KillerKolt44]

Best advice I've gotten from thub Buy a pipe wrench Get the magnets out of microwaves P.s. your prices are fucking great I got like 24 dollars for 500 pounds of steel

[@markridenour4047]

I think the grates on the grill are cast iron.

[@MissCanadian]

It Always nice to see what you fine

[@omar_padilla]

Hey bud how have you been? Stupid KZbin stopped recommending your videos but i click on one tick tock video and KZbin tries to shove nothing but that down your throat geez. Anywho I'm back I have a lot of catching up to do!. Wow i was just remembering when i first discovered your videos you were on foot in that little Pontiac i think it was and now you have a scraping truck picking up hundreds of pounds lol I'm proud you my friend let's keep doing the thing!!.

[@heathermurray9939]

In England scrapmen will not picking up washing machine/ tumble dryers and microwaves, as they have changed the law, & our local council rubbish collection that you have to pay for £25.00 ,they have to have a special licence to dispose of fridge freezer due to the gas cylinder at the bottom. Which will be more fly tipping rubbish, which was seen a lot in covid lockdown

[@JunkNGrind]

Bro I “Shouted you out” in my last Video. A Tire and Rim Video 🛞 Hope that’s cool. Keep Hustling sir Thub 🛠🗑👏🏼✅🤑

[@stephensmith3708]

Again, my Bohemian Craz Canadian Cousin, good score! Hey think cute Trash Panda shirts! Yah, raccoons are adorable, too, but you greet viewers as Trash Panama, use it!!!! Editing time. Got to stop placing my comments before vid is over. Need to really get that stainless checked out, it may be inkonel. Meaning more nickle! Don't let the scrap yards rip you off! Oh, by the way, if I can find it, I'll send you something that came to my plant quite some time ago that came out of the plant up in your region that they were tossing it away when they shut down my plant. For some reason I saved it and now, by the Creator, had a reason to save it.... Again, when I find it I will send it double ASAP!

[@brunorios7223]

Great if you could explain what type items are prepared steel versus shred. I think I can guess on it but more guidance always helps or at least confirms

[@lboe927]

If you grab books be careful. They can hide all sorts of critters. Cockroaches love them, which you'd likely see, but things like bedbugs also will make homes in books and may not be as noticeable. That's the main reason I won't pick up vacuum cleaners unless I have my trailer. Never know what they've sucked up with them. Especially fleas! Don't want those in my van.

I could use some scraping class with you you’re pretty smart

[@trueheart1372]

Basicly the shipping company's are refusing to take our cargo overseas over empty for more cargo back bec scraps and food doesn't go to same locations meaning more sailing 😀 decreasing demand and prices unless you have huge amount of room to store the steal to wait for shipping company's to need your business agin

[@vinnienowhere1015]

I sold that bike rack here in the states for $25 earlier this year. Hey thub, can you scrap out an electric power washer if you come across one. Would be interested to see how long it takes to break one down. Tc

[@jamesblack5130]

What is the procedure in your area when you have a mixed load (shred & heavy iron) do you unload one then weigh again before you unload the other?

[@danhotaling2139]

How do they know how much weight each pile weights and how much you put in each pile.

[@javajeff3772]

So a couple of weeks ago, I fill the truck and trailer with light iron. 1100 pounds and bring it to the closest yard … $33. Today I had 4 furnaces, a water heater, a craftsman air compressor, two electric panels … 940 pounds. I try a different yard further away. The iScrap app said $75 a ton. Guy hands me a ten dollar bill. I’m like … “what’s this?” … he says price dropped to $30 a ton and they have a facility fee of $2.10 … I’ll never go there again. It literally did not even pay for the gas for me to bring it down there. Is this unusual lately?

[@paulcoenen7918]

So they charge thier suppliers a facility fee. Makes perfect sense 🤪

Yea it's weird. Thoughts reflect the creator, not the accused.

[@jimrodia4190]

Everyone wants to dumpster dive but when you get hurt in the dumpster you will be the first one to sue the company we have problems with people tearing the things apart and making a mess and most will clean up but some don’t and that makes all scrappers look bad. We tell the police to ticket anyone caught in our cans. They are clearly marked and our property and responsibility no matter where they are placed
