Awesome! I came upon a Walgreens while I was out scrapping one evening that just got a roll-off box and they had their coolers go down. They emptied everything out and I had snacks for weeks along with cheeses, deli meats, cold brew coffee, creamer, butter and milk. I packed up mine and my neighbors fridge in one trip lol.
Wow the cost for elecricity at these charging stations isnt cheap at all. To fill half a tank costs 30 in gas and you paid 23 to fill half your battery of electricity. Thats wild.
I met my wife while dumpster diving at my college back in 2008. If you search Vice Side Hustles Dumpster Diving on YT .. Vice came out and did a cool 10min documentary video on us.
you would never see this in EUROPE. We actually feed the homeless and less fortunate for free with food that is still perfectly good to consume. STOP FOOD WASTE!
I'm surprised the businesses don't lock their dumpsters. I used to live in a city and homeless people/scrappers would get into my trash cans and take stuff. That part I didn't mind. Unfortunately, they would pull or dump everything out of the trash can and take what they wanted and walk away. Leaving me to clean up their shit. Or... my shit technically? Ha. I put a pad lock on it after the first few weeks and they would try to open it not realizing it was locked at first and flip my camera off. I got so many good laughs out of it.
Bit that f#cks me off is loads of these shops throw decent food away why not donate it to a homeless shelter? In uk our local tesco puts food that's nearly out of date in a community fridge for people who fall short before the end of the month.
Iv always wait for your shorts. Now im in love in this type of videos and cant wait for the next one. Keep it up. Lov ya and hope you have a great day.
@LoveInTheDumpster the diffrence between you and other dd is you know the value of things like wood or building things l. Is not just scrap and is not just food or random items your finds are diffrent on every angle
Cool video and dumpsters finds but electric vehicles are just trash. Staying that long to charge and they will all fail and have a short life. They were brought back just for control and the carbon joke so.. useless toys.
It’s a good tool for me. I’m liking the $0.02-0.04/mile operating cost, that’s my average since I do the majority of my charging from home. There’s hundred of thousands of 5+ yr old teslas on the road with 100k miles on them and EVs are up to 7% of all vehicles on the road. It’s just a technological shift, like back when the iPhone was just a fancy phone for rich yuppies, now they’re ubiquitous.
That security company dumpster was giving me some massive flashbacks. I worked security installs for so long my brain was identifying every product as you were picked it out of the dumpster. They were just tossing Honeywell 16.5v transformers galore man, I always wondered what the scrap value on those would be what with how much copper they packed into them, we were selling those guys for 15$ a pop as replacement parts. It was a little jarring to see just how much of that would go to straight into a landfill if you weren't out there scrapping it (my old company actually paid employees a bonus on any material we brought back as scrap because they sent it all off for scrap/recycling so we only needed 1 normal dumpster for 30+ employees in a warehouse, everything else got sorted, stripped and sent off to be scrapped). Keep an eye open for Honeywell heat detectors getting tossed, those guys for the most part all have a big copper disk you can just pop right off the top for scrap.
Well I would tell you on your wire get a gaylord or two or three fill The Gaylords full and I used to get about 2 Grand for Gaylord of wire scrap now that was about 10 years ago but it was pretty good. The other thing I used to do is I've had a gaylord for dirty aluminum stuff I just couldn't spend the time cleaning up cuz it was just too hard and then clean aluminum with no ferrous metal on it and it was clean and you know the difference
There were a couple of really decent Dumpsters with a tonne of wire. Could you not have just nipped back later to collect the rest of what you couldn't get when asked to leave?
I wish the security company in my route still threw out good stuff on the regular. I noticed in 2020 they stopped and very rarely throw anything out now.But I have found new DVRs (like what you found) and cameras this year.
I've checked 2 others and she was right. All the display cribs and changing tables were tossed. And a bunch of unrelated displays. When they have a rolloff they tend to use it for a lot of other misc stuff too.
Layperson here. Is dumpster diving illegal across the US? Or is it state specific? Can businesses tell you to vacate a dumpster? It's interesting that anyone would be mad at you for diving. In my mind, the business had willingly parted with all of it, so why are they upset someone is taking it?
It’s a bit of a grey area. They’re pretty much all on private property so i’m always very respectful if they ask me to leave I do so, I never leave a mess. I absolutely never argue with them. But at the end of the day it does have value. I found that one way to flip the conversation is to actually offer to pay them. They don’t usually take me up on it, but it makes them realize that it has value. Then you’re having a conversation and not a confrontation. And a few times when that happens they’ll open up the back door and help load a bunch of scrap in my truck because it’s also helping them out. Saving some space in their dumpster.
@@Earthling247 Man, Buffalo has so many worse issues that require police attention, this is a non-issue that is only a nuisance to people who are looking for a reason to get pissed off. Take a shower, touch some grass, and make yourself a meal that didn't come out of a freezer.
Thanks! No it's not full time, yet. I own a small manufacturing business, if you search Buffalo BottleCraft on YT, that's us. But it's somewhat seasonal and I have a good team in place so when it's slower I do spend a lot more time diving.
Yes sir! I'd say I charge 80% at home or at free level 2 chargers most of the time. But I was wanting to try out that fast charger since the truck is still new to me. Charging at home is always going to be the cheapest. Using the fast chargers is effectively as expensive as if you were to fill up with gas ... which I don't mind and if I happen to be near one I'll top the truck off and work on some videos while it's charging.
Sure. There's a lot of different grades of wires. My yard breaks them down by % of copper by weight. You've got your low grade insulated wire at 30-39% ($0.35/lb), that's going to be anything you clip off an appliance like a fan, mircowave, lamp, chare cords, extension cords, etc. The next step up would be romex at 40-49% ($0.55/lb), that's commonly used in the wiring behind your walls. Then you have #1 insulated at 90-99% ($1.10/lb), that's 12 gauge wire and thicker. The rule of thumb would be if you took that wire and bent it, it'd stay bent. It's the wire that's inside the romex or bx cable.

It happens pretty often I think. I came across the same thing at a Target 6 months ago.
I hate it when the damaging gets packaged!
That cracked me up while I was editing, had to leave it in. Guess some of my wires are twisted lol
I caught that too. Nice pun😂
@@LoveInTheDumpster You are addict! Heavy! 😂😂
I'm thrilled to have found your channel! I'll add you to my favorite sites along with "Mike the scavenger "!
That's awesome. Getting compared to Mike is a huge compliment for me, I've been watching him for years.
Keep on scrapping!!! You can make really good money doing it.
Definitely. I've averaged $4-5k/yr over the last 5 years.
Did you know that there's a app called thrift books that you can sell any type of books on
You HAVE to show us feeding your chickens with the dumpster yummies. You can't just mention that, and not show us feeding your chicks!
Throwing that food away is criminal
I'm getting Mike the scavenger vibes!! Great finds!! Keep on it!!
He's definitely an inspiration. Been watching him for years.
Funny, you said 'the damaging got packaged'. Glad I'm not the only person to turn things around. Great videos!

Read the wire on the spoil it will tell you how much wire is left.
0:04🇺🇲 Hawaii🤙
AC unit and scrap out more money
It's a shame a lot of that stuff could go to food banks and local pantries, and charities. What a waste.
Shame on Aldi for not donating to a food bank.
Makes me miss those Tampa, Fl scrap runs. Many companies that would move locations throw out brand new rolls of wire and all kinds of goods like that.
I believe it. It must have been scrap heaven after the hurricane came through last year.
The smell is an expiration date.
You're right
Schön das du so viel vor der Deponie gerettet hast . Großartiger Job 👌
I just started viewing your video.Amazing what places throw away to the dumpster.Keep up the good work
Thanks for watching. It’s nuts what I find every day. You kinda get numb to it after a while.

Awesome. Welcome!
I dive in a area around buffalo too!
I also dumpster dive and scrap. Some great finds!! I got excited when I saw the huge piece of brass! :) Brass and car batteries make my day! :)
Hell yeah, it’s like picking up five dollar bills
@@LoveInTheDumpster Word
It really really missed doing this😢 great video. That's what I need find me. A woman dumpster diving. Wonder she's married.😻lol

I honestly don't understand why that guy would chase you off. You're only grabbing scrap. What difference does it make to them?
They run people off because a lot of people make huge messes and don’t clean it back up. I’ve seen it, essentially TWEAKERS !
They run people off because some people make huge messes and then don’t clean it up. I’ve seen it happen, especially with TWEAKERS!
Yeah I don't understand either. Once I have a new building I'm definitley gonna be approaching that place directly.
Its all about liability, a scrapper gets injured, the owner of the dumpster is libel
@@tomobrien9361they aren’t actually. The diver is “trespassing” so the store can’t be held accountable
Hi there, just found you on UA-cam, loved this video, look forward to more. Also, thanks for the lesson on electric charging, interesting!
wow..thats a lot.new friend
you would never see this in EUROPE. We actually feed the homeless and less fortunate for free with food that is still perfectly good to consume. STOP FOOD WASTE!
Heck you’re making more room in their dumpster too, since you are scrapping it! Blessings and Peace ✝️❤️

I just take the open bags of dogfood and put them in sealed containers I bought from Amazon.
Wow. So this is what we've come to. Eating out of dumpsters. This nation is heading closer to hell.
45 min to charge ?! holy crap. definitely have to have patience. not for me. good content though
great video , dit not knew charging a ev was that exspensive !!!
Bit that f#cks me off is loads of these shops throw decent food away why not donate it to a homeless shelter?
In uk our local tesco puts food that's nearly out of date in a community fridge for people who fall short before the end of the month.
It's very common here in the uk, with this company.
What pisses me off is the food can be donated to soup kitchens food pantries and homeless shelters
I would hate to have to charge a car it’s time consuming
Very good!!
Good haul!
güzel hurdalar 👍
Buffalo in the house! Rep the 716!
Sir thats not for work purposes. Iykyk

Enjoying your channel. I live in West Seneca and recognize all the places you go to
Thanks for watching. Hopefully you can hit some of those spots, I don’t get down to that area often.
Where did you find all the wire
Great job brother keep it. Up
That security company dumpster was giving me some massive flashbacks. I worked security installs for so long my brain was identifying every product as you were picked it out of the dumpster.

That ham and salads and the pizza look fine. Like you said, sniff test
Yup, millions of years of evolution doesn't lie lol
Why would you eat anything that is supposed to be refrigerated knowing the cooler failed?
It’s not like cheese or other food spontaneously molds the moment it comes to temperature .
That food waste is F++ed 🤬
13:06 this is how much I pay for my mazda 3 with liquid petroleum gas in Europe for around 250km (155miles) of driving in a city with heavy traffic.
I only charge this way 20% of the time, the rest is at home at a sixth the rate.
I will never understand why people run you off from recycling items and keeping them from the landfill!

Pmsl sometimes the damaged gets packaged lol
It was good seeing you interact with the woman in the dumpster. Next time say this is my patch............ Jokingly of course!
I actually met my wife dumpster diving. Search vice side hustles dumpster diving and you'll see the story .. .they came and did a 2 day shoot.
