I made all of about $7k last year, so while it might be better for you in some ways, financially it isn't always the best.

@@CovidConQuitTheCensorship, said the troll who can only react and not think.

@@vincedibona4687 , perhaps. He makes his own hours. He gets out and exercises. He has a wealth of knowledge on metals, materials and construction. He meets people and forges relationships within his community. He provides a service to his neighbors by recycling and transport. He sells used and sometimes new items to people at dicounted prices and repurposes viable things. Should I go on?

I’ve had sticker ideas for awhile and just haven’t made the time to create them! I will make a big announcement for sure, those would be the perfect thing to mail out to people who have stuck around. Thanks for the support Carey!

@@thubprint I support worthwhile channels as best that I can. Yours is indeed worthwhile.

@@careyflorence5673 I'd certainly sport a sticker!

Have you ever thought about the reason why they don't want you? Dumpster diving on the property is because if you get hurt then they get sued

@@user-zf3vy3sb5f If they have signs posted saying to stay out then they can't be sued since you ignored the warnings.

​@joe smith not true lol but it's also a active construction site and he's not wearing safety gear they even pick some up for him

@@joesmith-es1zy if they have signs that say stay out then maybe listen

Because you can really load up appliances in one of those!

it is an active construction site that is fenced off. The fence is to keep people out. Huge liability to just have people wondering around an active site. Most dumpster include a certain ton amount in the base price. 1-3 tons depending on the size.

It’s all about the liability.

It's injury liability especially on construction sites where your not wearing safety gear

If they get hurt...

@@qwertykevin1 when you shoot them in the ass there by definition hurt

You missed a few of the last few videos if you don't know... it broke, and he's saving up to fix it, so back to the Vibe for now.

Zinc alloy is time v money. My yard is 8-10c per pound when reasonably clean. Unless it is ready to go, at least for me, it isn't worth a second look

Are you referring to the three tiny feet on that one stand? Not worth it, I’d have done the same. They literally weren’t worth the time to unscrew them.

I was actually pretty surprised, didn’t think I had that much! Gotta keep an eye out for those chunky ones

Pretty sure it’s illegal in England to “dumpster dive” so you do it at night because you’re breaking the law there?

@@ChrisB1993 we can't actually 'dumpster' dive because the bins are all locked away in compounds usually, but we have skips here. I have the managers permission to go through their skips in two locations, where I also have the e-waste contracts but don't do it while school is on, but so much still gets thrown in their skips. I go in the evening on my way home from work because lots of people still like to give their opinion about what you are doing & I don't want to disturb lessons or be the crazy woman they see digging through the skip from the window. You can also obviously ask permission to go through private skips and I have had my best scores this way, I still call it dumpster diving as many don't know what skips are, nobody has ever said no to me, because you are saving them money by removing what they have thrown away before the company collects the skip. I still prefer to usually go back at dusk to do this, only on one occasion have I knocked and collected there & then, that was a video where I filled my whole x5 with cable, I knew if I waited until dark it would be gone. So yes, 'dumpster diving' without permission here in the UK is illegal, but with permission from the ship owner it is Dandy. It is just so much harder because there isn't an abundance we can dive in like other countries to can dive commercial bins.

@@SollersScrappingandDiving happy days! Glad you sought permission, I hate the waste people produce, I work on construction sites and always fill the back of my van with metal while there that they stick in the general waste skips

@@ChrisB1993 that is fantastic, I'm so glad you do that 👍

It really depends on the area. In my neck of the woods, a lot of places like auto shops, electricians, and plumbers have their dumpsters behind locked gates. Most industry nearby is computer-based, so not a lot of manufacturing waste. My main source is apartment complexes, at least 75% of my haul comes from them. Luckily I have a couple dozen nearby so there's always stuff getting thrown out. Most everything else comes from construction dumpsters, but the next town over even keeps those behind locked gates. If you live near a large college campus, those can be goldmines too. But again, areas of the country and the world are just different. Drake is in Canada somewhere, I am in the central part of North Carolina, USA.

@@vincedibona4687 i think he mentioned in an early vid that he was urban Alberta. I'm in a commuter area near Toronto. So quite different demographics all over. I'm pretty new to this, so want to get ideas for exploring places I may not have thought of.

@@davenapiorski8187 I'd say just spend some time riding around, going down alleys and behind industrial buildings as well as anywhere else that might have dumpsters. I have a few places I check that really only give me stuff 2-5 times a year, but sometimes they are doozies - one time found an entire office building going through renovations, all kinds of lamps and metal tables there, fed me for a weekend!

What happened too his truck?

I think I remember him saying that it's losing coolant, possibly a head gasket. There's a video where he goes through all of his vehicles' maladies. He has a whiteboard listing all of the problems and the costs for each. A couple of months ago. Search through his videos, you should find it.

My yard won't even accept coax. Best I can do with it is clip then ends for brass and alum.

Atleast in here Finland any public non locked dumpster you can pick through it if you want so. At business places tresspassing is also possible ”crime” when picking stuff from companies bins but guards or police just asks you to leave because its not illegal to scavenge those because its just rubbish which someone has thrown away. Metal/ wood bins are big no no, taking stuff from there is seen as stealing. That might get you some troubles if bin owner press any charges

In the USA, our Supreme Court ruled that dumpster diving is NOT illegal, however, if you are on private property, they can always ask you to leave and call the cops if you don't, for trespassing. But private trash and recycling containers, _when curbside,_ are fair game.

Watch his past few weeks of videos.

So litterally not that fan.

Like half of the world, he doesn’t know what “literally” means. 🤦🏻‍♂️

It isn’t getting fixed yet, he is saving up money. Have you not kept up in the past few weeks? Go and watch his recent backlog, you’ll find out that way.

@@vincedibona4687 If you watched his recent videos you would know he sent the truck to get repaired but hadn't heard back yet. But thanks for the snarky reply, leave it better than you found it :o)

Not a regular viewer, I see.

It will probably go to a transfer station first where some of it will be separated out.

Could you try that again, this time in understandable English?

He does have power. He is on their construction site. Where he does not belong
