Yeah, you might be smart asking for permission before you go diving into other people's "trash"! I learned this the hard way when I was 16, and the only thing that kept me out of jail at the time was.... I was 16!! I have never dumpster dived again, and I am now 58! That being siad, I would have totally taken all of that wood as well! Nice piece of 4x8 sheet you're standing on, that shit is expensive!

I'd have been so livid with the insurance breaker, yes even though you should have had it in the vehicle etc etc, but even so damn, he made it so much worse. Lessons to be learned indeed! Hopefully court will drop the insurance thing once you get and explain. We love you thub and there will sometimes be the odd jam we get ourselves in, very frustrating and expensive but in perspective there are worse things that can happen to a person (I say that but I'd still be livid with myself😂) You don't have superthanks, I was going to send a little one towards your tickets, you might want to consider signing up for that future, if some of us send even $5 it would add up👍

Vanity straps / ropes are a must! Anything you can do to avoid conversations with enforcement is helpful. I even go a fair bit slower than the speed limit and turn more sedately when i have a load. Everyones day is better if you dont give them a reason to talk with you. An ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure.

Fight all but but the load securement load ticket

I totally respect Thub trusting to just get in the dumpster before knocking...sheesh...I would be delighted to see someone going through my dumpster. It would make a great conversation starter. He handles himself as an extremely polite gentleman when confronted, and by the way, BEST CONTENT ON THE INTERNET!

all new ryobi batterys wotk in the blue tools you score

Tieing loads, keeping insurance, registration and maintenance on your truck are all "have tos" of doing business. Do whatever you have to do to continue with your videos. We love them!😊

Forget all the haters. Your wicked respectful and considerate. Sometimes our judgement call doesnt work out as well planned. We're human. If someone's gonna criticize, then they either don't watch your videos or have the ability to look past their own nose and get the bigger picture. Keep doing your thing.

Do not forget you have footage of you checking the load really well, maybe they will see it as secure load as well brother. good luck bad sh-- always happens to good people stay safe brother

The new ryobi lithium batteries work with the blue one+ tools so it’s still a pretty big score

Wow nice haul today, you no it's good when you gotta turn down mowers, and I love the alley gallery. Side job with the mowers wouldn't be too bad aye. Sucks about those tickets 😐.Try to have a better day😎🤟🏼

I hope you went back for the mowers

You have some of the best narration while you’re adventuring. Literally some of the best out there. Love the video! ❤

Your weather makes a change from bloody snow LoL

That's one thing I like about living in the UK. There is a national database of all insured vehicles that the Police can check instantly. They also have instant access to details about whether the vehicle is Taxed and has a current MOT (a full yearly safety inspection). We are only required to carry our driving licence, although if we don't, they can access our photo licence as well.

Some time you have good days. And sometime you have bad days. But be great full that we are alive today. I’ll pray for you brother.

The man, the myth and the legend treating us with another long adventure! Gotta say that is how interactions should be handled. Most people do get taken back when we play in their bins. I mean positive side is that they have more room after slme treasures are saved from the landfill. Back to the video now only 10ish minutes in so far. Love it Thub, as usual sir!

Thanks once again for sharing your content with us Thub. Sorry for the way it turned there at the end. It was going so well. Congrats with the trailer. I hope it brings you and yours a lot of joy.

“Managing expectations” is an important consideration. Very cool handling of that lady dude. ✊🏻

Im only 11 minutes in now and already you are having a cracking start.

“Oh! We made 75 bucks!” 😂

unsecured by straps. it was an unsecured load. that's a good ticket.

I fix mowers all the time and its usually just skunky gas or something very minor. There is another youtuber "Donyboy73" that has great videos on repairing any small engine you may want to work on. DEFINITELY worth the pick up, and can easily make lots of money doing it. Good luck.

I'm so sorry thub but this did make me laugh. This was so entertaining. Life sucks sometimes but it's sometimes fun when it's someone else.

Your insurance person is like “ yea I’ve got you back…..officer he’s guilty…give him $1000 worth of tickets” My dad would call that a knucklehead tax….we do something wrong to ourselves ….that’s avoidable… life lesson tax. Keep your chin up, you’re doing good. Keep up the good work and good videos… maybe figure out how much in scrap that you will have to collect to pay for the tickets..

Gotta have all that stuff on hand my guy! I still carry paper copies cuz im often waaay out beyond service areas. And yes our local PD will nail you driving around with any load above the box without straps, and if theres any smalls that can fly out they want a tarp covering everything too! They nail guys driving to the landfill daily… thats all a bummer for you, but it was probably coming some day and could have been worse. Cheers

Love never fades 🤣

It's just good manners to knock and ask, when the dumpster is on their property.

You should have been respectful, and knocked on door .

Kinda figured from the load you got pulled over. Ratchet straps are a pita But I always strap stuff down. Why i keep several long easy pull-type(lashing, cam&buckle) straps. Doesn't need to be crazy secure, just enough to not get pulled over and keep stuff from sliding around.

In the first slide off, when I saw the painting items, I knew you would have paint on yourself. With repairing the mowers, you should do a top notch repair, cleaning and sharpening the blades. I've known individuals who've done this mainly during the winter time, accumulating mowers late summer and fall.

Officers are never in a lenient mood when they have to stand out in the rain.

Great Job Thub!

Hey Drake, first view, awesome. Just wanted to say hi. Love what you do!!

you left the hard drive? that was strange...

Best of luck fighting the tickets in court🤞 Whatever fines you do get stuck with, go to the Sheriffs office and make a payment plan/ agreement with them. That way you don't have to pay the whole amount immediately.

Ooooof. Sorry you got busted, buddy. Maybe you'll catch a judge who's having a good day and everything will get thrown out. At least you got some good treasure to offset the cost of the registration ticket :(

In Seattle you can catch a huge fine if you put paint in a dumpster thats wet it has to be 100% dry and hard first.

always grateful for ur vids

It was going so well ,sorry about the tickers ,sounds like you had a harsh police officer there ,hope you sort out the fines ,hopefully only get the fine for the load not Tied down ,as when travelling and roads that are not maintained you could hit a pot hole etc and items could fall out ,maybe show the video of how you secured the load .Wish you well ,love your presenting and explaining ,always a pleasure viewing your amazing videos .

Yes knock and ask

Sorry you had to deal with this...love following along on your journey.

In my state you can go before the judge and show proof of payment with policy, and it gets dismissed. Everything but the unsecured load would get dismissed. Good luck.

Maaaaan, that sucks but hopefully you will get them taken care of. Great load, though!

Hope it gets sorted out. It was sad that the horrid cop showed up. 😂❤️💙

In the officers defense he did probably realize that you did this for a living so that's why he didn't take away the thing that helps you make that living. Plus all that except the strap ticket will get dismissed. Cool trailer!!! Great video!!.

Amazing!!!

That unit you taking a part. One of the boards had a couple of red DIP switches. Those have gold balls inside of them typically.

Damn it when they rain on your parade.

In the uk they’re pretty strict on insecure loads, basically anything in the bed of your truck whether it’s a 500kg digger bucket or a bag of feathers must be strapped down, and for stuff like dirt, branches, loose scrap metal, etc you need a net or cover to go over it, probably varies a bit around the country but where I live the police have nothing better to do😂

The roll off in the lady's driveway was densely packed. The stacked and flat orientation. The empty space on the end. It looks like a long term reduction of possessions project. The hauler will be surprised when it gets picked up. Edit 1: My opinion is Monet was nearsighted. Edit 2: The police in my town decided to crack down on crime, and started ticketing jay walking. One night, one of my daughters and the group she was in got stopped. The officer had to call for more tickets because he ran out. There was no more crime in our town...

I found a lot of older dewalt cordless tools in bags, in a dumpster. The next day there was an employee still dropping the shop when i went by around 8:00pm. A different employee received his first anniversary with the company and the owner had replaced all of his tools with brand new ones since he had brought them with him when he started. All the old 18v tools still sort of worked, but the batteries were failing. i already had all the new 20v dewalt tools, but have them stashed away since there's an adapter available for the 20v packs can be used. i took small engine repair in high school. 9/10 they just need a clean air filter, oil filter, or spark plug re-gaped to specs, sometimes if they're older a new fly wheel or piston.

You were doing great, but you found a whole new level. Give you. points too heavy - take it apart-toomuch - cut it off.. keep up the good work.

Bummer dude. Sorry to hear about your run in with the po po. That always sucks. You're sure to have an upward karmic situation coming very soon. I'll be praying for that positive readjustment pronto. In the meantime be at peace not in pieces, ha.

I know this is old but those people who get mad when you get scrap or something out of a roll off box are so dumb. They are most likely paying for weight and by you taking that out of their only helps them. Not to mention the less bs in the landfill. People don’t understand recycling is more than just cans or cardboard.

Tickets suck!!😫 I mean, you might as well pile it high in the truck if you’re gonna get one. I hope you get most of those dropped.

Sorry to hear about your tickets... 😢

Eff. That was a brave confession. What the heck was your insurance agent thinking?

Looks like it's time to bring a trailer to get all the scrap.

I have actually gotten arrested for looking suspicious just checking something out in an abandoned gas station parking lot. Charged with "attempted " recieving stolen property... and there wasn't even a no trespassing sign or private property sign. ...AND it was literally right across the street from the police station, so no I absolutely was not trying to or even thinking of stealing anything hah but the fact that I had orhet scrap in my car the cops made up their story and the rest is history. When you actually get arrested and have to deal with probation for a year over something that would have literally only gotten you maybe 20 cents, you tend to second guess the limits you push over the excitement of finding metal. Ya know. Scrappin is still my only hobby today

Awww. We know we're beautiful. Thanks! :D

8:05 try’s not to damage anything hits the bushes😂

Man you better get to your insurance office and cuss them out 😅

Here all we need to do is go see the city or county attorney show the paperwork and it is handled . Now as far as the unsecured load show the ofishall the video at the last stop to show how intertwined it is he or she may agree with you on the unneeded use of straping .

cool camper!!!! the tickets suck! hope that all works out

Adulthood is hard, seems to be a reoccurring issue for several years nows, from not being legal, entering private property without permission, forgetting your wallet, to always running late barley making it to the yard before it closes. Mowers are easy money, even non running the bags alone can sell up to $40, plenty of folks willing to buy for parts and who are more knowledgeable at repairing them would easily given you 25-50 a mower, just to buy one replacement wheel or control cable cost $15+ each from the local store. Same is true on many of the bikes some vintage and brand names will fetch good resale in any condition. You have the room and time to list for sale instead of tossing them in the scrapyard for a dollar in weight.

Hey man! Im fairly new to your area, and just came across your channel, and i love it! Im from a more rural northern region of this province and have a ton of mechanical experience if youd ever want some help with lawnmowers or any gas engine repairs, or help with moving or scrapping things

What if kid on a bike rides in front of you unexpectedly 🤔 It's ain't secure unless it's secure that's a bummer though

Bring back the tip jar thub!!

I used to put metal or alu sheets on the top , plus straps ..never got any problem .that policeman was in french : ZELE , usually a 48 hours warnint to show licences is ok

Ryobi is the best cause they didn't change their battery style!

The "youre gorgeous" was a lai i aint gorgeous

*That SOG throwing knife set is like $45 on their website. Surely you can sell them.*

I've noticed in watching you that you skip the green trash cans all together. What's up with the green ones? Thanks for sharing your adventures!

Thub - Those throwing knives are great. I"m in town and I'd buy 'em off you for a few bucks, chip into your "D'Oh!" fund to pay off the ticket (only the strapping down one might stick, the others will get waived if you're courteous).

That registration is definitely expired lol

Follow up on the start of the vdeo. There are pros and cons about the situation. At least you weren't towed! We all been there. The registration would be on you, Thub 😂 It happens and can be resolved, thankfully. The insurance slip being sent over did sound a bit fishy to the cop. Looks like the lady set you up. Looking like you just got insurance during the traffic stop. So i see where the guy came from. Unfortunately that looked sus. Not saying I want to see it happen to you. Its all a bad time but yes. Lesson learned and a nice polo shirt or maybe break out the nicest suit and tie from the wardrobe for your date. I never under stood the outlook of cops and their view of securing a load. I spent years driving my truck. I also did make the straps visable, often bright orange or yellow on purpose. Honesty most time my loads were secure but I still put a strap on it, which didn't do anything BUT it was just for the cops to see. Thats it. As long as it looks like its all good. Then its all good to them. I have even put the straps on without tightening them. They were just sort of snug. And cops would pass on by. So that was a day wasn't it? But yes it was a good day despite the pull over. Now get the documents in order and play dress up for court and back to the grind! Love what you do. And more importantly i would love to donate to the "Document" fund. But I recently lost my job and now back to searching for one. Still scraping of course. So if I come across some coppers I'll send them your way!

Ps bateries can be found at homedepo . That line is still solid as rryobis mane line.

You make it look so easy I get chased away every time I actually get inside of a dumpster

It is a shame about all those tickets. Good luck in court. Nice scrap haul.

Love your videos man, would absolutely LOVE to ask you a few questions, I have my own scrap business.

i suggest that you processed your stuff at your garage at home so that you will not waste your time grabbing some other scraps.

ergh! I thought the government's job was three things: collect taxes, bring accused criminals to courts, and guard the borders. What's with all the other intrusions we see up here in Canada? great video though :)

Possibly one of the only time I think you should've asked before diving in the dumpster instead of after.

there are great adapters to get your dewalt, etc batteries to work in older units

In my state in the US it’s all linked to your vin and plate technically you’re are supposed to have documentation but they mostly just care it’s valid

Sorry buddy I know that sucks in a bad way getting cited for all that. You took it better than me because I'd been using every cuss word I could think of. When you said we made $75 my girlfriend and I laughed our asses off. Awesome video

karma for not knocking and asking on private property perhaps, we would have the cops lining up with glee if they see us without a strap or rope here in Australia, better days ahead with a bit of luck, cheers

All those tickets can be thrown out with a lawyer in like 5 min. I work for a lawyer also love the content.

I'd totally get the mowers. If they are completely shot you can still scrap em. Sorry about the tickets! Here in PA I always strap, ya never know who's going to see it.

tarp and secure load or pay the p;rice here in Alberta DOT will nail you repeatedly until you get it right .. your bicycle got squeeky better oil the chain son..

With an unsecured load you did ask him to pull you over

Just find the documents, man. You can beat at least 2 of those tix

Nice score today. 😎 Go back for the mowers and lawn chairs. 👍 Hopefully your fines will be reduced after you show your paperwork and video of the secure load, it is what it is and the officer was just doing his job…I have the utmost respect for the police without them this world would be a criminal paradise. 👮🏻‍♂️ God bless 🙏🏼🇺🇸🇨🇦🇮🇱

How did the police not get the proper registration and insurance papers from the license plates of your car? From the system the police uses? Do we live in 15th century or what?

Yep, got an unsafe load ticket last November. I didn't strap the load, my fault. The fine was like 138 bucks but the 3 points on my license stings a little. I feel your pain. Great pickin though 😅

how far out is your court date? I feel like the only ticket they will drop is the forth one for a producing false documents or whatever they called it. not having registration doesn't seem worth fighting if you found out your registration was out of date. The first insurance charge and the unsecured load charge are probably worth fighting but I don't know if anything will change either way.

I get seconding guessing and questioning being over your head. But if u don't take a change, you'll never know and you pass the chance to make a score. Never skip on opportunity. What's the worst that happens 1 you have to toss it. So what. You make a buck scrapping it or 2 you take up room that could be used transpoting something of greater value? Take it out and pick up the item of greater value. I don't see any risk. Win win win. Even tho there probably from a flipper that couldn't put the together. No matter what there worth something

Mowers are good as long as they are not locked up

Just drop that tailgate and get some straps and keep piling it in. Do have to say that yeah should ask before going onto private property. Too many people here are sue happy, they'll climb in your bin, get hurt then sue you for getting hurt on their property. At my regular job we have so many "townies" that will show up and actually fistfight over things and leave ridiculous messes. We've had to trespass dozens of people in the last few years.
