All dumpsters in this video are public domain. I do not dumpster dive where it's prohibited. Dumpster diving is not legal everywhere, so do it at your own risk.
Old compudiver here. Dumpster must not be chained shut or in a secured dumpster enclosure. If it's in the same location and security condition as the contracted refuse company accesses it, then members of the public are generally safe to access it. This is under statutes that regulate both city or county entities or commercial entities under regulation by or contract to applicable govenment agencies. So the public can cross property needed to access the dumpster under the above rules.
I like what you do. Saving and repairing valuable technology (I mean we live in times where ressources for electronics are rare) to sell it for little money to people who need them. More power to you man. Same goes for people who dumpster dive for food. Like with this electronics there is so much good food just thrown away by the super markets.
Had Electronic Depot here that had a smaller drop off spot set closer to Town for easy access,weren't allowed to take stuff but after midnight nobody was around so that's when i generally would land.The computers,monitors and accessories i got from there that worked perfectly fine was unreal,after a 5 year run they closed it down,fortunately i have enough to last me for some years to come.Miss it though,was like unwrapping presents Xmas morning.lol
I always go dumpster diving at my local middle school every time they are upgrading/replacing their school computers. I literally have a wall of DELL monitors against my bed. It's crazy they just want to throw that out!
It’s honestly a shame that people would dump perfectly working computers. I rescued 2 computers from being scrapped and they work perfectly fine. Good to know you would rescue these and sell them to a good home.
@@PLAGue-ty7sv I envy you guys. I ride my bicycle about 15 -20 miles a day and get to search probably 15 dumpsters while riding. Not a computer to be found. I don't know how you do it.
@@curtyanok6878 I found it besides my local supermarket bc someone lazy trew it in a dumpser after taking the graphics card and ram instead of recycling it
I got myself several i7s and a crap ton of i5s throughout the last 4 years and I stacked them into a network mining monero (CPU mineable.) Believe it or not but they became my condo “crypto heater” and my electricity bill is about the same as when I was using a traditional electric furnace... but instead of just heat, I get heat + crypto!
I love the whispering at night, with the crickets in the background! Sweet finds, dude. I found a thin Core i7-5500U Dell laptop with 8GB RAM, a battery in good condition, and a 17" screen at my office building's e-waste collection site. All I had to do was buy a $20 universal charger, add a SSD, and install Windows 10 -- they even left the HDD screws inside the case, in a little plastic baggie!
3:58 It's probably a bit late, but sounds to me like it's a broken power switch (or maye just unplugged?) Easy fix open it up and plug it back in or replace it.
Great finds! Even some time ago! I found 2 Apple Mini Mac's (about 4 year old models) in the original shipping boxes. Unopened, so never (as far as I know) used.
i found a medium size box full of different computer components like motherboards graphics card processors on a closed office building dumpster. about 4 months ago. only few of them are salvageable working order. the i7 3770k & i7 4790k & Asus Gtx 760x2 sapphire r9 390x i don't know if there are worth building it to a decent gaming PC.
Found a couple of E - waste dumpsters but what was there wasn't complete. Destroyed and torn apart. What was worth taking were 4 Asus portable monitors & 1 similar Toshiba. Lots to look at & dig through but not much worth taking.
Not sure if where I live has an open E-waste center. I think one place has E-waste but they sell it in bulk. For a kind of hobby I check business and apartment dumpsters for electronics. Latest find is a Dell Optiplex 3050. You have a lot of luck, but irs where you look to find!
I wanted to do that. Last April, we went to a trash soring facility near my school which was a mistake because now I can't stop going there :) There were no limits - everyone went straight in and got things like computers. And I've scored numerous times. While nowhere near as good, I got a vintage (1980) calculator in perfect working condition, with many other things. I got a bunch of optics as well, speakers too. There are even desktops, but I don't have a car so that's a shame..
Hi everyone from Colombia, here in Colombia it is not posible, now the electronics devices as laptos are expensive, if we want to buy a second hand computer most of the people has to work like two weeks to save monay and buy one, because new laptos are very expensive.
You would need to change the cables for the to the power switch that could fix the one where you cannot turn on and off, or it could be the capacitors you can check them easy by looking at the board also you might want to switch the power supply if those first to things don’t help
i rarely find cool stuff in the dumpster last really cool thing i found a old Dell PE t320 server i had to load it with drives and caddies but ive upgraded it from the original configuration and now its my personal server after dusting it out and doing the said upgrades
Do you think its worth it for me to go check the e waste dump for laptops and harvest the drives to fix my laptop as well as sell some of the other parts or computers?
Just get permission first. There is so much gold out there... u just gotta dig for it. I've found ALOT of good hard drives out there. I've tested them and found low hours and all good sectors, u will find alot of bad drives tho.
@@codenamexp6383 Honestly idk how all this E-Waste stuff works. It may be different for your city but im pretty sure mine asks stores to host locations for money and then gives the e-waste to companies and splits the profit. Is it the same for you? Recently mine have shut down cause of Covid but ill be sure to ask once they reopen. I also saw they had some e-waste in the back of the store so I could take some when they close and there is no one but i prefer not to violate any laws (even if its junk).
I think its illegal at where i live. I found like 2 computer monitors and one pc in like 5 years of searching like weekly. I didn’t take the monitors and the pc worked but it had broken parts so i threw it out. I don’t know how it is possible to find so much somewhere.
I cannot believe you found an intel Xeon, aren’t those things worth like $1k+?? Also where can I go do something like this? Go to a dumpster where someone’s gonna throw away some perfectly good pc parts and rescue them?
those xeons aren't worth much, servers like that sell for like $80 or $90 these days as they're old and draw a lot of power for not a lot of performance hence why they end up in dumpsters becasue they're not worth running due to the high power consumption compared to a modern server.
@@codenamexp6383 Sounds good, thanks. Can you find them at regional landfills? There's one near my house but I'm not sure if they have a e-waste dump site.

Wow... a dumpster PC video from 2019 has better working laptops than my current laptop.. (as of 2022)

Nice
So jealous my school keeps the computers until they explode I never know when they upgrade
@resnii I am trying to find. A computer for emulation
Always go diving with a screw driver (preferably philps head) really comes in handy especially with PCs
It’s honestly a shame that people would dump perfectly working computers. I rescued 2 computers from being scrapped and they work perfectly fine. Good to know you would rescue these and sell them to a good home.
Where did you go?
Older computers is what i live for, work does let me take stuff however it can come VERY overwhelming, I've had to turn down a lot of things
I've been searching dumpsters for years and NEVER found a computer. Must be nice.
I found a desktop with a 2Tb 7500rpm hard drive today

Where are their ewastes?
I wonder if there’s a e waste near me
Oh man… I’m 14 and I love dumpster diving in my town in Greece. Nice findss
3:58 It's probably a bit late, but sounds to me like it's a broken power switch (or maye just unplugged?) Easy fix open it up and plug it back in or replace it.
Wow!
Those PCs are amazing!
And someone threw them away!
Probably a disgusting person throwing away useful stuff
Great finds! Even some time ago! I found 2 Apple Mini Mac's (about 4 year old models) in the original shipping boxes. Unopened, so never (as far as I know) used.
imagine, the same person dumping these laptops and then repurchase them on eBay or from the neighborhood without knowing XD

its not only sad to see so much e waste, its also sad to see that people throw away useful tech so quickly.

What stores are best to hit and what time thanks man appreciate it love the content
Same I wanna know too
Wjere did you go behind to get these items?
as they always say, ones man trash is another mans treasure

where do you dumpster dive?
Why are all those laptop havong higher specs than my laptopd? It looks I will dumbster dive for laptops
where do you go to find computers in the dumpster?
where did yo find all this?
Ok This vid is 3 years old but can anybody give me tips to get over the nervousness of dumpster diving for computers
I would love to do something like this.
Do you do still look? Thank you 🤓
Will there be any new video ?
I wish we had free computers in the trash where i live
3:53 The ACPI chip is probably bad
EDIT: It could also be a driver issue
What are good places to find computers?
Computer repair shops,offices etc places where computers go in and out of regularly
i found an elitebook outside someones house waiting for the garbage truck- i can see its working, but the screen isnt. do you know if itll sell?
buy a screen for it and let it get replaced by yourself or a professional and sell the laptop for profit.
Any store recommendations for e waste
I cannot believe you found an intel Xeon, aren’t those things worth like $1k+?? Also where can I go do something like this? Go to a dumpster where someone’s gonna throw away some perfectly good pc parts and rescue them?
Not most of them. A lot of xeons are like $5-10 believe it or not. That's first Gen though so they can be cheap if they're old
those xeons aren't worth much, servers like that sell for like $80 or $90 these days as they're old and draw a lot of power for not a lot of performance hence why they end up in dumpsters becasue they're not worth running due to the high power consumption compared to a modern server.
How do you get access to e-waste dumpsters?
Search Google for e waste facilities and call them to ask if u can look around
@@codenamexp6383 Sounds good, thanks. Can you find them at regional landfills? There's one near my house but I'm not sure if they have a e-waste dump site.
Is this a dumpster from an e-waste place?
No, it's public domain. I don't dumpster dive where it is prohibited. Thanks for watching
amazing video man
Where can I fine a e waste dumpster
The only reason the MacBook didn't turn in was because it didn't have ram and a battery
please send them in nepal...
This may be a silly questions, but are these computers free? I hope you can respond. Thank you
Yes
5:44 total engineer fortune
I am looking for laptop hard drive sleds for a hp dl360 I bought one and the guy was so mean as to keep the sleds
Probably can find that on ebay
Nice vid bro
Thanks!
