Although It's perfectly legal to go through trash & scrap people's junk, I don't know if I have the gall to go at the edge of someone's yard and go through their trash cans. Once trash is set out on the curb, it's considered public domain. The dude is making money and not hurting any one. We are such a wasteful country any ways. Go for it, DreamCar!
The “I Do not give a darn” vibes is so pure on this man.
Get her done.
The Hurrier I go, The behinder I get. I LOVE IT.... I wish I could find a treasure like that. I saw that saying in a dairy barn that my brother worked at for years and I have said it for years and lived by it. Love his way of cleaning up and recycling. Thank you sir. You have made my day.
RIP Greg, this was your best video. Condolences to your camera man too.
Josh Russell wait what, did he pass away?
@@LegoBoy1919 Seems i was wrong he has passed

👍👍👍 Some pieces are still beautiful and usable. It's wonderful. 👍👍👍
Love you, Greg. Rest In Peace
He is so happy doing his job, GOD BLESS HIM.
I must say your quick on the draw nothing slow about you keep up the good work
Scraping relieves so much of my stress, it is a very fun job making money doing your hobby nothing feels better but you have to have time that's all it requires.
Welcome back,..wonderful scrapping video...we should all be scrapping!!!
i have an education and a job, i still go out with my buddies every week on trash night. its fun. i've found some REALLY nice stuff, including brand new tools that people just don't want anymore. most people are happy to see the things are being put to good use, last week i made over $150 in scrap and over $100 in selling things that i didn't scrap.
I like this old Man... He entertaining... 😂
10:35 I like how he has fun making noise doesn’t give a shit about neighbors still sleeping and just throws shit in his truck! Made my day! 😂
today i was cleaning out a wooded area and a older man named james told me he asked the county 5 times to clean a all metal junk dump and 3 tvs. He said i was doing a good thing for him gave me a old 6-10 lb copper door stop 'slag from a old mill' and 5 bucks extra best scrap day EVER
This guy deserves an award
I love watching this kind of stuff. Thanks for taking the time to video your scrapping run. When I was a kid in the 60's, I used to get all the scrap TVs from the repairman across the street. Lots of copper and brass in those old sets. That's how I got my spending money in those days. Allowance? Never heard of it. LOL
Legendary!
One scrapper to another, Wear Gloves! Good videos, enjoy watching!
to the person who said they would be embarrassed doing that you should know this guy is doing several important things one he is recycling he is also teaching people who dont know how a new skill he is helping to feed and cloth his family and most important he is showing just how much money people throw away everyday he seems to be a good person cleans up after himself and others keep it going buddy
+james Spence Correct very well done James.

Plus it's entertainment and enjoyment.
Always hunting for scrapmetal in the Netherlands too ,always have magnet in my pocket ,happy hunting Great video
he looks like a kid having fun! lol running to every can to find something interesting. wish out neighborhoods where like this
Good for you about the aluminum can. Until lately I didn't even know they were aluminum. It's amazing how quickly they collect.
God bless.
A truck you do not need a ladder to get into...yes!
Dude is looking at probably hundreds of dollars worth ski equipment as scrap metal. Take all the ski equipment and sell on Ebay or craigslist and make way more than 50 cents in scrap metal.
+j jones I know your comment is old, but I completely agree... IMO there is very little money to be made on scrap in between scrounging it, hauling it back home, breaking it down, and hauling it again to a scrap yard, just ain't worth the time to me for such a little return. I pick up stuff solely to use or fix and sell. I make 10x as much as this guy does scrapping it all by selling it on to someone else, majority of what I pick and fix are small engine stuff and they leave my hands in a day or so of posting..
Just saw the video, you must not ski. The skis are worth nothing and the edges very little .But he is happy to do it so all the better .
Very cool man. I love doing this stuff. I got the cops called on me for taking aluminum cans out of someones recycling bin because it was considered "stealing." Cops were on my side and we were laughing together except the homeowner. No one else in my neighborhood has a problem with it as long as I don't make a mess which sounds fair to me.
That happened to me before, and the police had people arpund my neighborhood sit their scrap metal in separate cans for me. It was sweet
cause it is
Amazing finds. Please keep making more of these vids.
Lol! you broke out the same back side window I did,I shoved a big rusted out BBQ pit through mine trying to load it Lol!
congrats on the great finds mate, nothing beats finding goodies!
One man`s trash is another man`s treasure!!!
What a true statement.

Thanks for the videos man! theyve inspired me to get out there and look around.. I found and lifted a 185 pound office drawer and got 10bucks. So basically made 10 bucks for 10min. for work.. The junk yard is only down the street so I got it good. I'm excited to start getting good like you!
Love your videos and I do like trash picking I do it all the time and I love your truck too over in Australia we call them Utes keep up the good work
I am a fan of recycling . This video is very helpfull. Thanks a lot
I smiled cause this guy is having a lot of fun doing this with tons of enthusiasm.
+peter8488 Everyone knows you do this when ur skitzen, that energy is just the meth cmon man grow up
+Alex Butler if you are a meth head, otherwise I get high on life.
peter8488 I fucking love it Man...
I found it an entertaining watch.
Bin.
great video with some good finds there - I do enjoy your scrapping videos
Can't believe people wouldn't just drop much of that stuff off at the Goodwill. Plates, spatchulas, copper mugs, all new looking.
Dang this guy scraps every little piece of metal when I go looking for scrap metal I only get the big pieces of metal lol this is a true hardcore nice video
15:20 are you sure about that? Lol just a joke.
Actually, 7:24 looks like guy passes on solid metal exercise weights cause he so tickled with new faucet... Might be he'll tell us they were plastic wheels LOL
He scrapped the drip tray piece for the keurig where your cup is supposed to sit yet said he was gonna sell the keurig lmao
*running* Oh my gosh plywood! lololol youra trip
In México we call them pepenadores. Good job.
Wish I could get into this. Looks like a lot of fun. That and I have a habit of fixing and reusing things I find.
I have no prob with people scrapping or picking, what bothers me is when they just dont take the whole item. I was out front raking my yard one day, and had tossed out a 10ft plastic gutter extension with a metal elbow that I riveted on and some guy pulls up realized the extension was plastic, so he starts beating the metal off using my drive way as his hammer. I go seriously? Hes like every bit helps. Its like just take the item and go.. u pick the garbage.. u deal with the non steel items.
I would have told that guy to get the fuck out of your neighborhood and to get a job. Quit stealing scrap metal ect. We have scrapers that come down our st. My neighbor and I actually take dehumidifiers and gut the metal out of them. Put them back together filled with trash so there is weight. Then set them out for the trash for these scrappers to pick up. They pick them up not knowing until they get home to take them apart. LMAO We have been doing that all summer and have had a reduced flow of scrappers coming down our st. Take care man
Lol, I should start doing that..
Frank_82 You gotta start doing that. I tell my neighbors do not set metal out for the trash. The scrappers will come and take it and make a mess in the process. I actually caught one rooting through my trash can 8 months ago. making a big mess. I said get the f*** out of there. He looked at me like huh you talkin to me. Don't mind me I'm just pilfering through the trash and I shore like beans and ain't learned books.
sad as fuck!
well they are protected under the law to do it so you are just going to have to get over it
this guys is a professional
This guy is our savior
Great video, some nice scrap metals in there. and new plumbing stuff.
There was a time I use to do this to put food on the table for my family. When you lose a job you have to put your pride aside for your family.
I am a disabled Vet, I do the same thing, and make anywhere from $500.00 to 3000.00 a day scrapping.
Take care always and stay safe and blessed brother
i like that it makes him happy
in the state of Oregon it is considered theft of services to steal trash from the trash company. if it is next to the trash but not in it you can take it as a give away
Oh my gosh ply wood!
Lol cute
I like plywood too lol
Items at 5:20, broken dreams of the middle class, and or living beyond your means.
high end neighborshoods are the place to go.
I pickup a honda snow blower and was stopped by several people trying to buy it right off my truck, all that was wrong with it was a dirty carb, that was a keeper!
just used it last week and saved my back.
before that, it was all shovel.
great vid can't wait till sping time!
more like they house is for sale and they were cleaning out the house of some of the junk they bought and never used
@3:42 Lmao hahaha too funny.. dirty old man needs to put some gloves on... I love how he just men handles every, all this with a smile hahaha
Question to TheDreamCar: "Do people ever yell at you or ask you to get out of their rubbish?" I'm planning to go scrpping and I was wondering what to expect and how you handle it or how you would handle it.
Have fun scrapping on the other side Greg. You will be missed
I was scrapping one morning, found some skis with poles, drove them four blocks down the ally to a pawn shop. Boom - fast $20.
I look forward to the Scrappers coming around to pick up scrap, I'd rather see it be collected and recycled, then be buried in the ground any day!
It is odd that people throw away perfectly good items that could be donated.
You wouldn't believe how often that happens.
Back glass busted out.... True scraper
Do you get leads for these pick ups or are you searching on Big Bulk pick up days or...??? I know where I live they only have 2 Big Bulk pick up days per year. If you have Bulk to pick up outside of those 2 days, you can call the City to arrange pick up but it cost you $15. I have set out to distribute fliers and only had a handful of calls. I'm just looking for a better formula! Thnx.
I liked this video and subscribed to your channel !!!!!! Hello from Elmira ON Canada 🇨🇦!!!!!!
Wow, it really is amazing what some people will throw away.
Try scrapping after semesters at college areas.
'm totally with you in collecting and scrapping. It's when you take stuff back to the store for money or credit that's where I think your crossing the line.
J Gilbert 💩. All day long. You get cash either way.
Great video you done well.
I want to go scrapping due to this vid :)
I love what you're doing! :D
This is exactly how I've updated my old water heater! :D
You could probably build an entire house with time. :)
Sometimes I feel like they're flexing to their neighbors, on who can throw out the most valuable stuff! lol
Unfortunately, they're getting stricter at on dumpster diving. :/
he gets so excited..i get like that too when i scrap and pick

That was fun to watch, I think it's more junking then scrapping but it looks like you are having fun. About the child car seats, the reason you see them in the trash is because by the time the child has grown out of one the improvements in safety have made them obsolete. No one wants their child in anything but the safest car seat. If you can't afford one there are many programs to make sure you can still have a current safe seat.
Speaking of safety, is that truck ok? What the heck did you do to that poor truck? Look at my page for a video of my 1992 F150 with over 200,000 miles on it and it looks near new. LOL :)
You'd make a fortune from all the cat food cans I can't be bothered to recycle so put in the general household waste. (Don't jump on me for not recycling, it's just so much bother to wash the cans - yes the council want them clean - and remember which day they collect the recycling, which isn't once a week.)
At the first house I owned I used to hear shouts of 'old iron' as the scrap metal guys went down the streets. They usually came round early in the day and I'd still be in bed! They don't do that here, but they do take away stuff I leave out for them.
I don't know how the law stands in the US, but here in the UK once you put it in either the Council, or Rubbish Removal services bin or skip it becomes legally their property and if you remove it you are stealing, - and some (Councils/Skip Firms) are very quick to prosecute. The only rubbish you can 'help yourself to' is either any that has been put "out" beside the bin/skip, or has been purposely put out for the 'scrap men' who tour the streets most days of the week and week-ends.
For those commenting about this being illegal in most places. I think you'll find the opposite is true in most places. Generally it IS legal to go through someones trash once it's been put outside and this is how most 'private eyes' obtain info quite legally and how 'dumpster diving' works. There's a grey area when it's on private property but these are quite clearly out on the street for pickup. There are certain areas that specifically make it illegal but those are few and far between. This is the general norm for US/UK/Europe. As for Asia, I've been to a number of countries where 'recyclers' go through trash out on the streets before it's picked up and as far as I know they're not breaking any law either. Google for the law in your area, you might be surprised.
in lots of areas there making it illegal because like were I live the town uses it to help with budgets.Plus of the risk of identy theft. In most places anything that's a certain distance from your proptey line becomes the towns.there's been many reports in my town of people getting tickets for scraping. Evently it will be totally illegal in the u.s. witch sucks scrapping is fun and a easy way for cash.

Best to look at your city and county ordinances. For example, the city I live in determines it illegal to remove any items from a receptacle even if it is on the curb/street. If it is not in a receptacle, then it's legal. Do your research.
Macbigicekeys I did
How big is the overhead in doing this? I do this to and from places I'd already be going, in a small hatchback car. I can't help but look at a big V6 or V8 truck driving around doing this and wonder how much is lost to the price of fuel. I"m presuming it still works out in your favor?
One mans trash is another mans treasure ! 👍
You can sale some of them thing on Ebay and get more
Looks like it was a good day in the neighborhood!
old north of England saying , where there is muck there is brass ( where there is rubbish there is money )
Mau posso acreditar no que vejo.
Como é que americanos descartam tantas coisas em bom estado?
😨
Coming soon to an episode of Hoarders...
El es Como un niño en una juguetería jajaja , pero muy mal que tome y rompa cosa que realmente no necesita. Que son usables.
Wow nice new faucet.
Did you scrap the Toro trimmer? I would like to buy that. Thanks!
Love you just love the vids . I dumpster dive and I also find so much . What a waste people do !
he's finding some treasures
Carros no lixo
this is awesome, however this truck isnt even that old, i suggest you take a little better car e of this poor chevy even if its a trash work truck. great videos, i plan to scrap all summer long
I tore down an old storage shed full of scrap made a nice pile on the side of the road and called the waste company to have it picked up.Well 1 an hour after I stacked it all up I see a scrapper making a mess of my neat easy to grab pile .I go outside he has his truck almost full of metal and old appliances but he has the road covered in debris ,I tell him hes welcome to the scrap but he needs to clean up the trash hes left in the road and he made the mistake of cussing me out and leaving the mess....7 minutes later I and my sheriff deputy brother show up at his house where in we find 1 stolen dirtbike one set of stolen lawn furniture two kids and a wife badly bruised up and a large meth lab in his single car garage...the trial is Jan 2019 bail was denied and when Texas is through with him Oklahoma wants him back on injury to a child charges he evaded! ..Moral of the story DONT PISS OFF THE HOMEOWNER WHILE YOURE DIGGIN THRU HIS GARBAGE!
The man is too handsome to destroy all this is wrong. "
Rich subdivision man. Half of that stuff could have gone to Salvation Army or some other charity.
But hes making money off it, what would you rather do.. I know my answer
Yeah I'd do the same as him. I'd love to live near a place like this. I'm talking about the wasteful people throwing it out when they could be donating it, having a garage sale, or something.
Vaughan Scrapper if i find good items that someone i know can use, ill give it to them for nothing because id rather see a friend excited and smiling after receiving something they cant afford to buy yet than worry about the $0.09 a lb that some $30 item will bring me at the scrapyard,
Dream car Do you remove the copper and brass from the water heater when you bring it back ?
I paid off my truck with scrap, not much money now the Chinese stopped buying our metal.
the new stuff gets a home in the cab haha
Like a kid in a candy store.....!!!!!!
Sorry to say this steph that's the little guy telling you he is still watching over you both xx
12:33 he is so amped lol I love it
I do this kind of scraping too, but I only look for audio equipment.
Where I live the Mexicans come through and clear that stuff out. Very competitive for scrap. The problem is that they get hungry and start taking lawn furniture and stuff you intend to keep.
nice finds how much did you make on this run?
surprising thats even with national health service in uk you would wear gloves, safety boots, hi - vest vest, eye protectors to avoid personal injury but in USA where there is no national health service one broken toe or hand injury would cost him tens of thousands of dollars in medical bills alone.
Guantes ,hombre, guantes. 🇨🇱🇨🇱🇨🇱🇨🇱🇨🇱🇨🇱
4:54, Its a guitar stand of which is something ive been hoping to see along the roadside, people do throw out good items because they're fortunate enough to be ignorant. Im not ashamed to do this at all but I also have enough respect just grab what interests me and seperate it at home rather than destroy perfectly good "trash" for what I want and leave the rest, ie. the sink he was kicking for a couple grams of brass. Id have taken the sink and and made money by selling it cheap with installation.
Word of advice wear gloves when going through garbage cans
+vroom843 While scrapping a few years back, I watched a friend of mine pick up a used breast pump with no gloves on. .. He hasn't lived it down yet, we joke about it all the time.
+A & J's Removal Services, LLC I find this a little spooky receiving a message from you because my late brothers initials were AJ .
I am in the business as this gentlemen, I live in Canada, scraping is my side but there is good money it if you hustle;)
