I mainly rock the dumpster diving scene but can be found digging through trash curbside as well as scavenging the river bottoms for lost treasures in the summer months. Join me on my epic voyages!

About the film and silver. Film has a silver coating but you would need to process the film and the liquid would have the silver that comes off during processing. You would need a silver recovery machine to separate the silver from the rest of the stuff. It takes a lot of film to get enough silver.

That thing spins and out comes the dumpster juice.... Theres another bonus of led's to manufacture- they don't need ballasts. Any luck they still work. Just a scrape with a knife will tell you if the wire in those motors are copper or ally. If copper, don't miss an opportunity to strip it out.
