This is the short version: We used to 'dumpster dive' too! The long version is next: I lived in a very remote place without ANY stores (in the early 1960s) except only a small grocery store with minimal supplies. We didn't have garbage pickup in our tiny town so we all drove out to 'the dump' for entertainment about every 3-4 weeks. Kids would watch the wildlife and Dad would go 'shopping'. My Dad was one of those who could fix absolutely everything. If a part was needed, he would make one if it couldn't be bought. A lot of people did not know how to fix things and dumped them when still relatively new. We got our bicycles that way - he would fix them and repaint with another color, all kinds of extra appliances, lawn mowers, and whatever, that he would give to seniors or anyone in need because he just liked to fix things. What we all had looked new though since he also knew how to spray paint things to give them new life. We were an early reuse, recycle, repurpose, gardening, composting family. My Mom had a large vegetable garden, preserved, canned, froze, and dehydrated our food that she then cooked from scratch. She had fruit trees and berry bushes and we foraged for other berries, mushrooms, and caught fresh fish and crab. The TV in a cabinet that we brought from the city sat there covered with a cloth and houseplants because there wouldn't be a signal here for a few more years. Those were the days where we had conversations at the dinner table and read books. Then we actually got 1 channel of sound but with 'snow' until at least midnight when the programming stopped for the day. To this day I still cannot waste things, especially food. I shudder when I see people dump out food from serving platters or cooking pots instead of transferring those bits to a small container. That's another meal for me to enjoy. Some people really do not understand why they are unhealthy, allergic to everything, stressed out, and broke from buying crap they don't need.
When I was younger a shoe store up the street went out of business so my brother a few friends and I went up on our bikes. We found a bunch of nikes & socks, took all that we could ride home with lol
As a corporation looking to max the profits they could donate it and get a tax write off but it is more profit to write it off as a loss and destroy it
That's why they get so mad when they come out and see you digging in the dumpster! They don't want anyone to know how wasteful they are. Just take a look in any Goodwill dumpster and you will be shocked!!
worked at a fireworks stand... kid would unload onto a table and leave a few in the box then slice an x into the top n throw it away... he did it on several boxes... next day he came with a truck and asked the boss if he could have some boxes as he was moving... we didnt catch on till the second year... second year he claimed he wanted boxes for a friend who was moving to college soon... the boss decided to "help" he got caught and eventually confessed to the first yr too... first year our stand registered a net loss over 2grand... kids house was searched... he had stolen goods from all over. did 5yrs in jail and had to pay restitution.
My daughter is teaching music to the children in our local school district: children from ages kindergarten on up. So I think it's a real shame that those musical instruments were thrown out rather than donated to a school that could have used them.
Good news! If you live in most places, dumpster diving is legal, so you can simply go and retrieve these items and give them to the needy yourself. Unless you just want other people / corporations to do all these nice things and don't plan on "putting your money where your mouth is" so to speak.
TheMastaPlan It's all technicalities. Technically those dumpsters are private property, not public. Removing items from private property is technically theft, even if it is a dumpster. That's why dumpster diving is technically illegal and could get you into a lot of trouble if the store owner wanted to be a dick and call the cops
Check your court cases. This has been the court recently the was determined that dumpster diving if dumpster is in a publicly accessible area is NOT illegal
Cory R Well on a Federal level it's legal but most localities have laws against it. They say federal law supercedes state/local laws but it's really the other way around. The federal age of consent is 12 but in every state you'd go to prison for having sex with a 12 year old. Same with pot being illegal federally but legal in many states. Local law really supercedes federal law in practice, and most localities have some sort of ban on dumpster diving.
I remember years ago I would take my dog on a walk across the street into a business center. I would always peek into the dumpsters. My little dog couldn't figure out what I was doing... not interested. One day I looked in one of the dumpsters and there were plates of BBQ briquette and sausage. I guess they must had a party and had food left over which they threw out. I picked out some of the food and gave it to my dog. He ate and ate until he was full as a tick! After then everything we would go into that business park he would head for the dumpsters. I think I did find some BBQ chicken but that was about all. It didn't take long for my little dogie to catch on to the dumpster run ! You never know one person's trash is another person's treasure.
D. Hansel I put my children through private christian school from garbage days. I lived in west palm beach at the time and twice a year on palm beach they would have the big garbage day. The rich there would throw out furniture and all kinds of stuff. I couldn't believe the stuff they threw away. I would rent a uhaul and pick it up. Bring home and touch up what was needed. Then put an Ad in the penny saver for a big sale. I made between 4500-7000 on their garbage. Praise God for rich peoples garbage. They put my kids thru school. I hear now they make garbage days a big secret.
THANKS MARGO, JUST WROTE A SONG USING A FEW LINES OF YOUR RECYCLING STORY. TO SAVE A HAMMOND ORGAN, AN OLD KAY GUITAR. TO BRING IT BACK TO LIFE... O THE STORIES THEY DO TELL. YOUR STORY MADE ME SMILE :)
You should definitely wear gloves my friend, I worked at goodwill and bed bath beyond ETC.. And the bathroom garbage usually ends up in recycle (watch out for used needles) anyways love your videos, I've started to hunt and resell myself
My son came home one day and borrowed my truck, when I got home the basement was filled with Marshall amps and bottoms that he found in the dumpster. Every speaker cabinet had a kicked in speaker and the amps had smashed tubes. A few day of swapping speakers and tubes and he had 3 heads and 2 speaker bottoms working like brand new. Not bad for an hour of dumpster diving.
yea absolutely right. I can just see i this vid at least $500 he left behind. Nothing is more anointing rhen waching someone that thinks he knows it all. He is really unexperienced.
Tefen M And you sound like a child whose just interested in video games, allowance, and girls. You have a lot to learn, son. The most important thing to learn is that you never know everything about anything...
Those Guitar Hero "Les Paul" Dongle/Recievers (ones shaped like a guitar pick and say les paul on back) are an easy $30 on eBay without the guitars. Should've picked it up.
I definitely would have pulled out that pallet jack. Yes, they are heavy. 100+ pounds. Still worth it. Thought I saw part of one sticking out in the second dumpster too.
If they are indeed working. The Walmart I used to work at would not have tossed a pallet jack if it wasn’t seriously broken. I was a small 21 year girl hauling 15’ stacks of merchandise with some janky pallet jacks. Nothing but a single layer of plastic wrap holding stuff together.
Richard clarke you didn't read what I said I guess. so what brands of shampoo, house cleaners, and foods do you buy? I bet you can buy them at Walmart :)
Their stuff is garbage because they don't pay the employees enough? they don't pay non-skilled trade labor that make more than other stores enough? Walmart starts at $10 a hour where I live. When I was 17 I worked at albertsons for $5.15/hour then went to work at walmart as a basket collector and made $7.50 and got a discount card on products, and would of got a Sams club card when I turned 18 if I had of still worked there. Night stockers make up to $18-19 an hour. Also, they do NOT force anyone to work there, everyone who works there had to fill out application and they are free to leave at any time. They higher special needs and disabled people just to greet people at the door. I'm not trying to be rude but gotta wonder what store you shop at? From your comments i am thinking it has to be one where it would be hard to shop because you got to hold your pinky up because it's that fancy They don't "lock up there garbage. Like many businesses they have a door on the inside that connects to the dumpster which compacts the trash. If it was open on the outside too then wind from dumpster would blow the smell in and you'd open the door to throw something away- have birds and raccoons attacking you and shit
Once I found a box, with 12 shoeboxes inside with brand new Nikes...I'm sure a employee left it there to pick up later. Sold them on Craigslist for $75.00 a pair, half price off the tags on them. BIG score....
It's unbelievable how times have developed. Back in the days you were used to let your precious electronics repair and nowadays brand new stuff is being thrown away. sad sad sad...
Chinese made junk. No one hangs their clothing in closets, and the people that actually do have 1,000's of hangers. Absolutely no money to be made there.
Clint R your the idiot here. I have sold hangers at flea markets and in my store. they were a pretty hot item since I had to reorder frequently. you really have no idea what your talking about. shame you can't fix stupid
I'm so glad you rescued that violin. Get a lock pick set or lock picking gun. locked dumpsters are locked for a reason. There's probably some good shit inside. God forbid greedy fucking corporations donate anything to the needy.
josh rich It's actually a matter of what state you live in some states allow dumpster diving and others don't I'm guessing he may be in a state that allows it considering he's dumpster diving in the daytime and not at night.
Probably has a reason. Sometimes plastic junk like that doesn't turn over as fast, especially if it is used and potentially broken. Having to check electronics is a pain.
AAAAHHHHH Pete!!! That guitar and receiver are worth over $100 (probably around $150 with the holiday increase) on Amazon! It was painful watching you toss that back!
I live in a Richy neighbor and it baffles me the things rich people throw out. My neighbors think I'm crazy for taking their trash but I see $$$ when I see metal. One night a friend and I made $500 each from some gutters my neighbor through out. We thought they were aluminum but turned out to be copper.
The key to diving is to pull up, toss everything in your truck and take off... You go over it at home or the shop, not at the dumpster !!! Toss what you don't want, beats getting caught. Your welcome.
You're lucky she was nice about it. I've never been caught at anywhere I've dived at BUT Half price. Got caught TWICE, once in the day and once at night, several months apart from each other. It's in a highly populated area, and I go there about once every 2weeks-month so I see the same guys who busted me for doing it & threatened to call cops, but they see so many people so doubt they recognize me. I learned that the Half price store closes at 10:00PM. They usually pack up & mop floors around 10:15 and finish around 10:20-10:25, then they leave around 10:30-10:35 (I sound like I'm planning a bank heist but that's how you have to go about it sometimes if you don't want to get caught)... Stores usually require workers to stay after closing time for about 20 minutes (That's what GameStops worldwide require).
MsAwsumPawsum if the dumpster was wet I probably would have done the same because water and electronics dont mix well. Especially since you really can't sell that for parts lol.
Small things like that work usually work even with water damage - I grabbed a wii fit board one time that was soaked and let it dry out for 2 days and it worked 100% new when I tried it. XxBeastlyGodxX
I agree with you, but that sadly isn't how this world operates. They won't make money that way. The world is all about how much 'I' can get. Remember that. Even the thrift stores are out to make profit for themselves...
Should have picked up those wireless guitar dongles (recievers) and guitars. I sell them on FBA and they sell very quickly. I saw 2 dongles you passed up on that would have made you $40-50. They wireless guitar was PS3/xbox and those sell for at least 30. The Kramer ones even sell for 15ish
I love watching this channel bc it's nothing but dumpster diving I love watching dumpster diving bc it's so cool to see what people find in the dumpsters
I don't know why people are so up tight about taking from what will be trashed anyway. When I was remodeling my home, I had a dumpster parked out front and my one neighbor would complain to me that someone was coming by and removing stuff. I told him I could care less and all they did was make more room for me. Whoever took the time to look made a good buck for their time.
My heart sank when you left all that guitar hero stuff in there... Dude i would gladly gladly gladly take that man. The little guitar pick shaped thing when you said "Connectors" is a dongle for the ps3 les paul guitar. I bought mine off ebay for $40 and to see it in a dumpster just crushes me man
+gunsnroses4716 I first moved to florida in the 80's. I loved it. Beautiful place. Came back in early 2000's to retire. Bought a house outright & planned on being a bum & then the market crashed & my house is worth crap I can't get my investment back. So, I'm stuck like chuck. Florida's not old Florida. It's nasty, filled with nasty low life drug addicts & gang bangers. Shootings everyday. I'd gladly leave this dump.
firmly grasp it they probably killed those people and then grounded them up for meat patties and now you're eating those bad people in you're hamburgers and tacos at the fast food at least that's what people say on yu tube videos in the deep web I am not eating beef anymore or meat for that fact I am going back to being a vegetarian like me and family were in the eighties and only feeding my newest family chicken with the bone on it who do eat meat. Their is a lot of cases of missing people to much where do they go probably in you're Big Mac lol.
Love these diving videos! I got busted at Pier 1 Imports once whilst i was in the bin. Told the guy straight up what I was doing but he was not happy at all and asked me to leave. I just shrugged it off and apologized. I'll probably go back there anyways haha.
I’m a dustman here in the UK & I’ve paid for a brand new 3 piece suite & saved up spends for holidays in Menorca selling the stuff I find in bins. It’s kinda exciting😀
The goodwill we went do there was no 50% off, ours in Florida was all at the Salvation Army they had a massive sale on everything. They do this three times a year,its freakin awesome I tell you/
Agreed, the outlets make black friday prices look like a ripoff. I dismissed it as all junk at first - biggest mistake I've made as a reseller. Now I do at least 90% of my resourcing there.
It's easier just to put ads out on craigslist saying you will pick up peoples trash for free. Your computer items won't sell, your racing wheel is worth $30 second hand. It's all trash.
OMG I was dying when he was in that Half Price Books dumpster tossing those Guitar Hero guitars, the Leapster games, cd's, videos, cassettes (even sealed!) and the BASKET!! I was like DUDE GRAB THAT BASKET THROW THE GAMES AND CD'S IN THERE AND RUN LIKE HELL!!! So much money to be made in those games, Guitar Hero controllers and connectors alone!!
dude u threw away the part that goes to the little games. the big Green thing that takes batteries that u three to the side is what the gamed go to. my son has one lol
i totally would of taken the guitar hero guitars and the small kids video games and the system with it. if they are a little wet from rain you can place them inside a big bag of dried rice to get rid of the wetness. they should be fine after that.
2 tips. One get a hook or grabby stick so you don't always have to jump in. Two go around front and give someone $20 to help you pull out those pallet jacks.
Exactly. I don't know of many, if any, stores/malls that allow dumpster diving. Only places I've seen that don't seem to care are some grocery stores. And when you're messing with food you sure best be careful; never know what you're getting.
They cannot arrest you unless A. There is no trespassing signs, or B. You were asked to leave and did not. Dumpster diving is not ILLEGAL!, Trespassing is, but again A or B has to happen for you to be trespassing.
Cyber Locc not all laws are the same some places may not care but I'm here to tell ya that old Johnny law here are assholes expecially the younger ones I think there scared little shits but they will take you to jail I've known a couple pepole that have been arrested now maybe they have been told to stay out and didn't don't know I personally think it's a form of theft you don't own it you don't own the dumpster know if you went in and asked and they said have at it then that's something else who knows who cares there's nothing I want that bad to call in a dumpster
Daniel M well they can arrest you for anything they want. Whether they legally can or not, it is how you deal with it that matters. Trash is public domain is a federal law, and one that cannot be changed by state (some can, some cannot.) If you were arrested for this, and the small court didn't throw it out, you could then take it to your states supreme Court and have it thrown out then sue. Police officers despite what people think, cannot do whatever they want. And if they do you can sue for alot.
Trash maybe open to the public. I think if its in a outside container it's up for grabs. The problem I see here is a lot of these dumpsters are inside a walled area behind a gate. This could be trespass. I'm really surprised there aren't any locked dumpsters. I live in New England and garbage is expensive and illegal dumping happens a lot. I like second hand shops and love CL free listings but I wouldn't do this myself unless I had the stores permission and I doubt they would give it. To me the problems, getting arrested, agruing with store staff and its a dumpster, it could be filled with stuff that could be disgusting. Now worth the hassle.
It's sad how worthless CD's have become - I think of that every time I see the shelves of them in my son's old room. I also think of the many arguments my sweetheart and I had as she was buying them for him . . . at retail!
The employee that stole that was probably pissed when you went back to get it and it wasn't there anymore.
😆

Imagine coming out for a smoke break and seeing the craigslist hunter in the trash can😂

So much of this stuff could be donated to shelters or 2nd hand stores, why are they tossing them? The waste in this country is a sad sight to see.

Once I found a box, with 12 shoeboxes inside with brand new Nikes...I'm sure a employee left it there to pick up later. Sold them on Craigslist for $75.00 a pair, half price off the tags on them. BIG score....
If you have a resale shop, you just through $100.00 away, literally, you tossed them aside.
that guitar hero usb connector is called a dongle they sell for 15 bux all day
Aww! I love the turtle 🐢
I love turtle ! 🐢I started binge watching his videos like yesterday and noticed this video is 7 years ago! hope this turtle found a wonderful home.
Sad to see child games and such being thrown away when they should bring happynes to some children instead.
Kids these days it's fortnight on xbox one
Playing video games is not happiness. Nor is it "happynes".
It's unbelievable how times have developed. Back in the days you were used to let your precious electronics repair and nowadays brand new stuff is being thrown away. sad sad sad...
cheaper to buy it than to repair it
"We have a turtle!" 😂
plastic hangers would have been a good sale at flea markets. bunch em up I n groups of 5 or 10 and sell for 1-2 dollars each
Margo Miko or a dry cleaners they set the boxes out there because they were probably picking them up after work
Scott Mcpherson yeah I would have taken the hangers especially that they were plastic.
Chinese made junk. No one hangs their clothing in closets, and the people that actually do have 1,000's of hangers. Absolutely no money to be made there.
youschtube Why don't you p.m. me your phone number, and we can talk about it???
Clint R your the idiot here. I have sold hangers at flea markets and in my store. they were a pretty hot item since I had to reorder frequently. you really have no idea what your talking about. shame you can't fix stupid
I'm so glad you rescued that violin. Get a lock pick set or lock picking gun. locked dumpsters are locked for a reason. There's probably some good shit inside. God forbid greedy fucking corporations donate anything to the needy.
Lily Rose u get caught doing that thats a charge of b and e
josh rich It's actually a matter of what state you live in some states allow dumpster diving and others don't I'm guessing he may be in a state that allows it considering he's dumpster diving in the daytime and not at night.
Badlulu Saddad illinois is an Illegal diving state
Lily Rose
sometimes they lock them so nobody else throws their garbage in there. People dump their stuff in dumpsters other people pay for.
Badlulu Saddad u totally missed my point u didnt read what she wrote use a lock pick and pic the lock u do that its a charge of bne
I thought for SURE I was gonna see Rosco P. Coltrane cuff'n and stuff'n Pete! Good finds.
So did I.
Then pete put a 01 on the door and a confederate flag on top of his truck and jump over them yellen HEEEE HAWWW
Kevin KR500
Dam.
Those guitar hero guitars could've sold for some decent money.
Used to do a lot of this, kept me going for a while when I needed it!
he takes mini mouse over the games and the wii guitars hahahahahhahaha
i was saying the same thing...nickles holding up a dollar
The Real Schuyler Martin lol yup and those are selling pretty good also
Probably has a reason. Sometimes plastic junk like that doesn't turn over as fast, especially if it is used and potentially broken. Having to check electronics is a pain.
The Real Schuyler Martin if you lisintend he said they were used
I thought the same, those firsts sell for 60 bucks a piece now
did you find any gloves in there that's what you really need.
HA!
Unless it's a food dumpster most aren't that nasty
@@22ergie common sense and logic dude lol but I understand that doesnt come easy to someone who takes two years to come up with one sentance
@@22ergie lol ok dude whatever you say have fun bein a dude
@@22ergie also just fyi YOU asked my opinion dude or did you forget that part?😂😂😂
AAAAHHHHH Pete!!! That guitar and receiver are worth over $100 (probably around $150 with the holiday increase) on Amazon! It was painful watching you toss that back!
I was about to say the same.
I live in a Richy neighbor and it baffles me the things rich people throw out. My neighbors think I'm crazy for taking their trash but I see $$$ when I see metal. One night a friend and I made $500 each from some gutters my neighbor through out. We thought they were aluminum but turned out to be copper.
The key to diving is to pull up, toss everything in your truck and take off... You go over it at home or the shop, not at the dumpster !!!
Toss what you don't want, beats getting caught. Your welcome.
You're lucky she was nice about it. I've never been caught at anywhere I've dived at BUT Half price. Got caught TWICE, once in the day and once at night, several months apart from each other. It's in a highly populated area, and I go there about once every 2weeks-month so I see the same guys who busted me for doing it & threatened to call cops, but they see so many people so doubt they recognize me.
I learned that the Half price store closes at 10:00PM. They usually pack up & mop floors around 10:15 and finish around 10:20-10:25, then they leave around 10:30-10:35 (I sound like I'm planning a bank heist but that's how you have to go about it sometimes if you don't want to get caught)...
Stores usually require workers to stay after closing time for about 20 minutes (That's what GameStops worldwide require).
The fact that you put back the dongles and leapster cartridges back in the dumpster gave me serious anxiety lmfao
MsAwsumPawsum same along with the guitar if he atleast even tried to test it I would be at ease but he didn't 😂
MsAwsumPawsum if the dumpster was wet I probably would have done the same because water and electronics dont mix well. Especially since you really can't sell that for parts lol.
Small things like that work usually work even with water damage - I grabbed a wii fit board one time that was soaked and let it dry out for 2 days and it worked 100% new when I tried it. XxBeastlyGodxX
Ben Hickz LMFAO ! I know right
I'm like " oh buddy just pick the dongle up - common you can do it" and yup he didn't : P
And there was even a nice little basket right there for him to load them all into!
Boy are we ever a wasteful society!
He looks very uninterested. Left all those goodies.
he could of made a fortune in a yard sale if he took everything he found in dumsters.
why don't you carry a pole with a hook or something to help grab items quick and easy?
Was thinking the same thing
A PICKER UPPER
they should donate the stuff to a thrift store or to people in need.
Jerrilynn Henry people in need of broken shit
I agree with you, but that sadly isn't how this world operates. They won't make money that way. The world is all about how much 'I' can get. Remember that. Even the thrift stores are out to make profit for themselves...
Ya they should donate so some a-hole can sue them for broken things. You really think everyone is grateful when they get free things?
hassanboy5 I am thankful for the internet. It is a constant reminder of the fact that I am surrounding by idiots.
youschtube I am also thankful for the fact that people like me can get rid of people like you. Try to have a nice day today :)
Should have picked up those wireless guitar dongles (recievers) and guitars. I sell them on FBA and they sell very quickly. I saw 2 dongles you passed up on that would have made you $40-50. They wireless guitar was PS3/xbox and those sell for at least 30. The Kramer ones even sell for 15ish
Throws the leap frog that plays the games to the side instantly. Lol.
I love watching this channel bc it's nothing but dumpster diving I love watching dumpster diving bc it's so cool to see what people find in the dumpsters
You put that Violin in there! I'm calling shenanigans on that
GGjeff-SPUNK,JUNK&PUNK88,Oi! jeffGG those so called non profits sell shit for more than what its worth
digi lifestyle j
He fakes this entire video.
Poke Openers how do you know?
I don't know why people are so up tight about taking from what will be trashed anyway. When I was remodeling my home, I had a dumpster parked out front and my one neighbor would complain to me that someone was coming by and removing stuff. I told him I could care less and all they did was make more room for me. Whoever took the time to look made a good buck for their time.
In which Ghost town was this black-Friday happening?
ThoughtWave64 everyone is going in the front but he's diving in the back.

Story of my life right there
UGSETH2 🤔😑☺😂
this is in my town
fairly certain northern illinois. lake county.
I remember about ten years ago HD was throwing out tons of faucet displays, light fixtures and shower fixtures. Right into the compactor it went!
WoW ... That was a cool turtle....had a realistic look to him too. Great find man !
The turtle is doing the mannequin challenge
Razor Gamer what's that
LOL
james771234 kid, it's part of social media, you'll learn someday
ChaseTheMaster nigga don't act like he's the kid your name is "ChaseTheMaster" and you have a skylanders pfp so you can shut the fuck up
I'm glad his shop isn't a restaurant.
Adam C. right
Lol... My hubby said the same thing
The usb dongles for guitar hero/rockband are worth 15 to 20 bucks
The money is not in the "setup" dumpsters; it's in the UA-cam VIEWS!
My heart sank when you left all that guitar hero stuff in there... Dude i would gladly gladly gladly take that man. The little guitar pick shaped thing when you said "Connectors" is a dongle for the ps3 les paul guitar. I bought mine off ebay for $40 and to see it in a dumpster just crushes me man
Yes , he is not a good dumpster Hunter ... Threw away and really didn't take a whole time to look ... Seems as tho his hearts not in it ...
"Dress in shitty clothes" he's wearing a north face 😂
LOL I thought the same! 😂 😂 😂 😂
Florida here ... turtle pretty cool find
firmly grasp it that's what I say ... it really isn't a nice place to live ... i prefer living near mountains with rich black soil ...
+gunsnroses4716 I first moved to florida in the 80's. I loved it. Beautiful place. Came back in early 2000's to retire. Bought a house outright & planned on being a bum & then the market crashed & my house is worth crap I can't get my investment back. So, I'm stuck like chuck. Florida's not old Florida. It's nasty, filled with nasty low life drug addicts & gang bangers. Shootings everyday. I'd gladly leave this dump.
firmly grasp it they probably killed those people and then grounded them up for meat patties and now you're eating those bad people in you're hamburgers and tacos at the fast food at least that's what people say on yu tube videos in the deep web I am not eating beef anymore or meat for that fact I am going back to being a vegetarian like me and family were in the eighties and only feeding my newest family chicken with the bone on it who do eat meat. Their is a lot of cases of missing people to much where do they go probably in you're Big Mac lol.
Love these diving videos! I got busted at Pier 1 Imports once whilst i was in the bin. Told the guy straight up what I was doing but he was not happy at all and asked me to leave. I just shrugged it off and apologized. I'll probably go back there anyways haha.
I have no clue why people would be upset someone is making use out of things that would otherwise rot in the ground
After major holidays, Christmas, Halloween, etc...you won't believe the things they have after seasonal cleanouts!!
5:03 looked like you were being watched by a security camera
Get a pair of those metal or plastic grabber things. Will save you from having to dive into the dumpster.
Aquarium Samurai I was thinking that same thing
Those hangers could be sold to discount store fixture sellers--we have a few of those shops here in Toronto
day after black Friday is better.
I cant help but picture your bird dancing to that music in the beginning.
I’m a dustman here in the UK & I’ve paid for a brand new 3 piece suite & saved up spends for holidays in Menorca selling the stuff I find in bins. It’s kinda exciting😀
You should have been at the Goodwills. They are half off everything on Black Friday.
The goodwill we went do there was no 50% off, ours in Florida was all at the Salvation Army they had a massive sale on everything. They do this three times a year,its freakin awesome I tell you/
We want good stuff not trash from goodwill!
Agreed, the outlets make black friday prices look like a ripoff. I dismissed it as all junk at first - biggest mistake I've made as a reseller. Now I do at least 90% of my resourcing there.
It's easier just to put ads out on craigslist saying you will pick up peoples trash for free. Your computer items won't sell, your racing wheel is worth $30 second hand. It's all trash.
***** I can value stuff all day but that doesn't mean there is actually a market for it.
just clean up the messes you make when dumpster diving
I do!
microbusss The non respectful/lazy ones ruin it for everyone
dude the nightmare before Christmas vhs is worth money
Hawke and Beenie True thats stupid from him
I like that you stay focus and don't pick up small stuff.
OMG I was dying when he was in that Half Price Books dumpster tossing those Guitar Hero guitars, the Leapster games, cd's, videos, cassettes (even sealed!) and the BASKET!! I was like DUDE GRAB THAT BASKET THROW THE GAMES AND CD'S IN THERE AND RUN LIKE HELL!!! So much money to be made in those games, Guitar Hero controllers and connectors alone!!
That pallet jack was an easy 100.00 and the leap frog games 2.00-4.00 each. I would have taken them. It all sells at the right price.
omg this guy.... everything would pretty much be going back home with me lol
Fonz Masina same 😂
Fonz Masina one of the worst dumpster divers ive seen 😂 i would have taken iT all
HAHA ME TOO ALL THE WAY!!!
No doubt. He’s extremely picky!
ditto
dude u threw away the part that goes to the little games. the big Green thing that takes batteries that u three to the side is what the gamed go to. my son has one lol
Used to do this with my grandfather and we used to stop at a local dump in the middle of nowhere...what treasures we used to find!
i totally would of taken the guitar hero guitars and the small kids video games and the system with it. if they are a little wet from rain you can place them inside a big bag of dried rice to get rid of the wetness. they should be fine after that.
Northface wants their jacket back
Myrtle the Turtle
I hope you sell the turtle quickly, however, I have a feeling it may be a "slow moving" item!
ok👌😂
Hilarious
I found my wife in a dumpster, took her home, washed her down and she's just like new.Can't believe someone had dumped her.
The trash truck came around a couple hours before you came thru
Wait, a Perry Como record, epic.
you would think he would be in a hurry to get in and get out. as not to get caught by security or store employees.....
he should have taken the guitar hero stuff
cant hardly give that shit away now :/ game stores wont give you anything
Cory R yea but have you never slammed your wii guitar after you tried that song 1000 times and still failed lol. I could use a few spares
2 tips. One get a hook or grabby stick so you don't always have to jump in. Two go around front and give someone $20 to help you pull out those pallet jacks.
loved the tortoise sculpture. maybe i will start dumpster diving
have the cops ever busted you I know we're I am they'll drag you to jail it's a shame they have so much time on there hands
Exactly. I don't know of many, if any, stores/malls that allow dumpster diving. Only places I've seen that don't seem to care are some grocery stores. And when you're messing with food you sure best be careful; never know what you're getting.
They cannot arrest you unless A. There is no trespassing signs, or B. You were asked to leave and did not. Dumpster diving is not ILLEGAL!, Trespassing is, but again A or B has to happen for you to be trespassing.
Cyber Locc not all laws are the same some places may not care but I'm here to tell ya that old Johnny law here are assholes expecially the younger ones I think there scared little shits but they will take you to jail I've known a couple pepole that have been arrested now maybe they have been told to stay out and didn't don't know I personally think it's a form of theft you don't own it you don't own the dumpster know if you went in and asked and they said have at it then that's something else who knows who cares there's nothing I want that bad to call in a dumpster
Daniel M well they can arrest you for anything they want. Whether they legally can or not, it is how you deal with it that matters. Trash is public domain is a federal law, and one that cannot be changed by state (some can, some cannot.) If you were arrested for this, and the small court didn't throw it out, you could then take it to your states supreme Court and have it thrown out then sue. Police officers despite what people think, cannot do whatever they want. And if they do you can sue for alot.
Trash maybe open to the public. I think if its in a outside container it's up for grabs. The problem I see here is a lot of these dumpsters are inside a walled area behind a gate. This could be trespass. I'm really surprised there aren't any locked dumpsters. I live in New England and garbage is expensive and illegal dumping happens a lot. I like second hand shops and love CL free listings but I wouldn't do this myself unless I had the stores permission and I doubt they would give it. To me the problems, getting arrested, agruing with store staff and its a dumpster, it could be filled with stuff that could be disgusting. Now worth the hassle.
It's sad how worthless CD's have become - I think of that every time I see the shelves of them in my son's old room. I also think of the many arguments my sweetheart and I had as she was buying them for him . . . at retail!
I don't subscribe to any TV shows or streaming sites so CDs still have a bit of value to me haha.
Those games were for a children’s v-tech. They don’t sell them anymore, so for us who have those players for our grand kids, it really sux!
Opposed to adult v-tech? Just go to Goodwill. You can get a bag of them for $3.99.
Those guitar hero guitars WITH the dongle are worth a few bucks!!!!
That green thing with the pen you threw is what those "games" go with lol
