Found Tons of Treasures Today! - Trash Picking Scrap Metal Recycling 21
Рет қаралды 20,295
3 жыл бұрынWOW today went great! The first step was a scrap metal cashout, starting with a truck full of steel and a second run with the high-value stuff. Things really heated up when we got to the dumpster diving, not only did we pull a BUNCH of great scrap, but a whole pile of great treasures we can use too!
Here are the wire cutters I like!: amzn.to/3adv7kz
This is the cheaper version: amzn.to/2wjkMFd
And here are those grips I recommend: amzn.to/2QCJmYl

I have scrapped a couple things here and there in the past. But, I came across you’re channel a week or so ago, binged on your videos and today, took a fridge, a washer, a antique broken brass (mixed metal) bed, a bike and some odds and ends and made $127 and change. Not bad. I’m now hooked. Love your videos!

Those red cast pumps are industrial recirculation pumps for large buildings hot water system. They are installed on a separate hot water line that brings the left over volume or pressure in the line back to the holding tank... basically makes a normal hot water distribution line into a closed loop system that always keeps fresh piping hot water circulating through the lines. My building goes through lots of these pumps as they are constantly running and sediment can reek havoc on the turbine. Their bearings are usually what gives

I used to work as an espresso repair tech and we had brass and copper scrap that we always said we would take in, but never had the time to separate. I see if I google espresso repair in your area I get three places...not sure if you like cold calling or if they are spots you could visit. If they got scrap, its typically good stuff!

Bottle picking videos are always appreciated, one question, how do you figure out the best times of the week to go bottle picking?
@thubprint 3 жыл бұрын
There’s no single answer.. I like going on the same morning the trucks come out and just getting in right before they come through, but sometimes those spots will have been picked by someone else the night before. So if you don’t mind using a flashlight, the night before could be good too. I really like mondays though because people throw stuff out on the weekends and the trucks don’t do pickup on Monday in my city. But none of that counts if someone gets there before you! So as for how, I just check the same place a few different times and in different days until I learn how things work in that area 👍

@sheepishmclemmingston5550 3 жыл бұрын
Theres a reason that we usually only see those metal analyzers in decent sized scrap yards, they cost in the range of 8-12,000 bucks for a used one or cheep quality and upwards of 30,000 for a brand new reputable brand. Pretty hard to justify that cost just to make a few cents (or at best a few more dollars) more a pound when sorting your metals.

😆 the overuse of ‘dot dot dot’ is a bit of a peeve of mine but mostly because it confuses me. I definitely want the toy stuff, and the winch works so I’m not gonna just scrap it!

Are pop and soup cans worth picking up?
@myvicariouslife4012 3 жыл бұрын
If they pay 10 cents like michigan sure

Soda cans are great! Soup cans would be just steel shred so I don’t think I’ll start on those anytime soon

Dude...if those rims r straight...put them online for sale...I have a Chevy trailblazer which come with an odd sized rim bolt pattern...so normal Chevy rims won’t fit on my truck...and trying to find a replacement rim is almost impossible...so I’ve paid up to $100 per rim for one that’s in sub par shape because it matched the other three I have and it took me forever to find it lol...so Chevy trailblazer, gmc envoy, raineirs, certain Saab’s, bravadas, all have the same size oddball rims that r hard to find especially in good condition...I’ve bent 3 rims on my truck over the years and am down to only 4 rims and no spare lol

Absolutely, even if a person only lists 1 for sale there are plenty of people who crack one and would rather replace it than the whole set. My issue is I try to stick to local sales because I’m lazy and specific rims take a really long time locally compared to online

Is it legal in canada to go dumpster diving. here in the State im in and most states ive encountered it is very illegal. if its something of real value ill still grab it but doing this free range is not advised.
@thubprint 3 жыл бұрын
Yep! Mostly... the laws here are more concerned with private property. So if someone takes issue with you then it’s a trespassing charge

Hi love the videos. Can i ask a question, you know when your taking scrap from skips belonging to waste management companies in your country is that classed as stealing from that company? Please dont take my question as a bad one im just curious as thinking of starting and its something i am worried about :)
@thubprint 3 жыл бұрын
Totally fair question! I don’t honestly know what happens when the bin companies receive the rented out bins back, I have to assume they separate large scrap out because their volume must be so high it would be foolish not to. But my understanding is the laws are primarily concerned with private property and trespassing. So if the person paying for the bin to be there doesn’t mind then it’s really no concern of the waste management company. The only ones I completely ignore are the metal recycling bins, those are clearly marked and the metal is being recycled for profit so there would be somebody upset about it going missing.

I’m kinda new watching your channel so I’ve got a question, why “Pandas”? Also do you get American pennys in your change?😂
@thubprint 2 жыл бұрын
We get every kind of American money in our change, I have a collection of it lol. The banks won’t let me exchange it if it isn’t bills though so idk what I’m going to do with it. By ‘Pandas’ I’m referring to trash pandas, meaning raccoons haha. Just being cute!
