- If you've ever wondered where a good number of my computers come from, it's usually from places like this. in this episode, I dumpster dive an E-Waste center for laptops and other neat tech, and look for computers at a neighbourhood-wide garage sale event in my city.

When ur country doesnt have stuff like this *cries*
Also the fact that you found a pc thats probably better than my current toaster for free makes me wanna cry even more
We have an E-waste center in our city but we can't take stuff from there because for some reason it's restricted.
@@makaronilaatikko1780 Same where I live, not even the workers are allowed to take stuff from there.
i would just take the whole dumpster with me and put it in my garden lol :)!
i wish this was how dumps are where i live
Wish I had access to a facility like this...bought an old Compaq Presario for a sleeper build project and if I had a place like this I could have gotten one for free potentially!
I also could potentially find a Trinitron CRT monitor in a place like that, I'm looking for one of those.
@@VSigma725 would a mid 90’S deskpro work for a sleeper build? Or are components inside Proprietary
@@The_Phone_Bin_Diver Depends on the model really, some of the towers have a really unusual layout.
Look at all this great stuff!
E-Waste centers are amazing!
I like seeing places with too much awesome stuff in them!
Those Omnikey keyboards are just as good, if not better than Model Ms. They are considered the epitome of Alps switch keyboards. You lucked out with the Optiples 990. Most of the time they take the drive caddies when they pull the hard drives. Overall it looks like a nice haul.
And hope the MacBook doesn't need a Louis Rossmann treatment.
Rossmann did a video on how to fix those old mac laptops that act slow. IIRC if the sensors detect an issue they slow down like that to prevent damaging the machine.
cool haul thanks for sharing
Damn, I wish my local waste collector would let me do this.
I once picked a SATA cable out of a container and got in trouble for stealing.
They literally made a fuzz about a 20cm SATA cable, so I gave up on asking if I can climb inside the container.
Great finds. If I ever discover open piles of equipment like this, I'll bring an uninterruptible power supply and start testing for working items and easy fixes to take home.
very nice OmniKey keyboard, as always great video!
this is awesome !
Cool! Will you be doing another e waste center video this year?
did you get the 2 tvs sitting on that truck
love Dumpster Diving, I found lots of older 386's AT's and lots of hardware , software . good find there young fella
could you lower the music volume?
He could... but that doesn't solve the problem that the audio mix is bad. The voice/mic volume level is much much lower than the music.
The volume of the music is much higher than the ambient sound. Cool yard sale finds. Glad to see younger people with an enterprising method to make money. Wish I had that knowledge/technology at that age.
im 11 and i trying to get a mac and im stuck with bleeding windows but i live in the uk and as far as i khow in bristol/Yate their is no e-wast centers :(
ps: i have no money to buy a mac
@@xanorexorcist can I just remind you that was almost 2 years ago I'm now13, have a Mac and it's better than any of I have had but I do still use Windows
I wish I could find a place like that around me but I don't know what to look for or what the places are called.
Where in Ottawa is this waste centre?? I go there very often.
I wish i knew of a place near me that did such stuff... In my neck of the woods its 'pitch and don't let you take back' sorta stuff. It really upsets me how much decent tech goes pitchy-bye when people don't know the value of what they pitch...
no fair I want to dig through a computer dumpster!
Lots of cool stuff,i did not know. E waste would let you look at things tuned in
Where is that recykling centre?
Wow...just wow
The things people throw away, eh?
wish I lived somewhere like that
Chances are, you do. Check your city's website, or those of local schools, community centers, etc. Not all of them let you take stuff, but plenty will.
But what do they call these places computer dumps.?
God damn, I'm drooling.
Is that like a town wide garage sale that they organise for a specific day?
I'm so glad people are recycling and reusing those electronics instead of throwing then away into a landfill. Give a like if you agree
Ik I’m late but did u have to pay for getting them ?
I'm exclaty like you but UK version lol absolutely love the Atari monitor let me know if it works and if so do a restoration video
Could you make a new video of this? One of your best videos right here!
Could you please make a second video about how many of those devices work?
I mean, as for how many are 100% working, only a third or so of the total pile. Most of the problems are trivial (big one is bad HDD) or fixable with some glue and are otherwise fine (5 separate machinrs all have damaged hinge mounts, bezel, and frame). Of course, a few are probably lost causes, but that's not common.
I'd be all in favor of a follow up of some of your interesting finds or fixes with the stuff you got here.
mipmipmipmipmip same lol
Did any of the phones work
Man I wish I could do that
That would be heaven for me.
What camera are you recording with?*
Because of that hp mini netbook you made me addictive to netbooks again
did the new-ish Macbbok Pro you found turn out to work?
Yep, running fine. Just needed a keyboard and hard drive.
Dodoid wow that was a great find
TechThatYT Ryan can you even spelling
@@itsnyank1 what are you doing here
And can you just go and take from ewase centers, or do you ask or what
E-waste centers generally have either a hard-line "no picking" policy, in which case you're out of luck, or they're small enough to have very minimal policies. It's the small ones with no clear rules on picking that are most likely to say "don't see why not" and let you have a go at it.
I've held onto my old Omnikey for ages, need to resolder my ctrl key though lol
2:07 what are you recording with
Staring into my soul
Damn... many years ago I was doing same stuff but I was going to the stores which were selling old hardware from companies. Try to find those kind of places. I was taking servers, arrays, network switches etc. Once I even found backup tapes robot.
The only problem is where would you put all this things in your home?
take everything that looks good at the dump, take it home and. Keep the best stuff, give away or sell the stuff you don't want. Fix up computers and sell them. It's a hobby. This kids gonna be in the IT field making money. I wish I was like him when I was younger!
so what the paradise looks like
I would be stoked, if I got that much tech stuff
12:42 i found that exact same Nokia monitor in the trash once
I want more people like these and i want to join too in the future, i just hate it when people who scrap or smash these motherboards, pcs and monitors dont know how worthy these are, and they even are the ones who say "YoU dOnT kNoW wHaT yOuR dOiNg" lmao
Niiiice!
jeez, i love E-waste centers because of what you can find there. So sad there aren't any near me. :(
Lucky bastard xD wish I know where I could find a place like this XD
Where is it?
Looks like you went to more yard sales that there are in my city all summer! Also in my city our recycling center pays for computers but doesn't let you take any (even if you pay). I would trade that for somewhere I can pull computers from ANY DAY!
That OmniKey is a good find. I hope you don't just offload it without thinking.
Is it in Hayward ???
Was that an Pioneer SX-790 at 13:24? should've grabbed that
Where to E waste dumpster diving in uk... because in recycling center. I can't pick free products sadly.
LUCKY you found that network switch
Crazy what people consider "waste". Frickin' thinkpads and 486s! Also I do want old tube TVs. XD
hey where is this located?
This one is in Ottawa, Ontario, Canada where I live, but similar things exist other places (this isn't even the only one in Ottawa, or the only one I go to, just the one I happened to film), especially in places where governments have incentives for community groups to set up such things like here in Ontario.
why did i even watch this and why did i even like this?
Why did the phone lines go down?
Enormous influx of people from all over the city (and elsewhere) into what is usually 2 square kilometers of single family homes. Just look at the number of people in the video, and you should get a sense for it. There simply isn't the infrastructure in the area to support what is easily a 100x increase in cell phone traffic with way more people and all of them on their phones for communication with others, and it just knocks everything offline. I think I saw a truck from a carrier with antennas on it which may have been for analysis or some kind of temporary GSM tower, but if that's what it was it went offline just as quickly as everything else. It's like Ottawa's annual involuntary GSM DDOSing event.
Oh right hahah I didn't think that phones could get affected like that and yeah there was so many people there
dude neat bag! i have the same one! useful bugger too! mine came from the dumpster too ??? why it was lobbed it looked new my every day bag,
O.O dam i haven't seen that meny computers for reclying in years! used to trash old computers they came in containers but they were all junk ones you know how most waste or reclying yards/places will just have a metal/machines bin? well it was like that plus eh they stopped so we stopped with them but then we got paleted computers to trash man good times,
I found 7 commadore amiga computers in a dumpster. Not working they sell around 200 each as is.
An Atari monitor? AMAZING
Where is this place!?
@TechCentre Probably Canada
I would love to see such dumpsters here in Germany too :c
plz make another version of this
the way they treat those crts... egh
old crt monitor?
*[foams at the mouth]*
Nice video! It would be coolnifni can hire you to do that kind of stuff and I pay for shipping etc
Wheres the location
Thats so cool I wish we would have E waste stuff like this in germany too. Here you cant even take anything as soon as its "in the Dump" not even in exchange for money or other trash :/ Dont go there often anymore because seeing so much amazing stuff just dumped there hurts
u sell any??
WHERE DO YOU LIVE?! Lol they need these in Vegas
Ottawa, Canada. You probably have them, you just need to make a deal with the organizers.
@@Dodoid Hey i meant to ask you this a long time ago, is it free for your e-waste center or do you pay like a fee to look and take whatever you want kind of thing? just wondering. NV sadly doesn't have an E-Waste center to just look through or even buy stuff.
Pcs that i find most off the time they have betwin 90 or 50 prasent off the components working
he asks who wants old tvs?
the answer: me
Ill get one of those CRT and modded it :D
That 70s gaming sysem in the box?? Ouch $$$
i just got 2 toshiba and a hp laptop and they all work! the hp is the newest with a core i3
Just a random question. Do you have to pay to take things from the ewaste places?
I have never had one ask me for money, however I usually do pay them a small amount or compensate for the weight of the items taken with my own e-waste (since their payment is based on a set value per pound of hardware collected). Some of my friends take stuff without any kind of payment or weight compensation, and I don't know of any case where they have run into problems.
Do you get all that stuff for free then and are you meant to take stuff? In England you are not allowed to
There's basically nowhere you're supposed to, but whether or not you are allowed to take stuff from E-Waste is totally dependent on who's running it. Some companies have strict policies against it, some are OK with you taking some items but not others, some don't want you to take hard drives, some (usually smaller organizations, like the school running this one) are fine with you taking whatever you want but would probably get annoyed if you started taking CRT TVs and monitors (they are paid by weight, so a laptop is worth absolutely nothing to them and an old TV is extremely valuable). It's just a matter of asking them if they're OK with it. Sometimes they say yes, sometimes no. If they say no, you can sometimes ask for reasoning, but often the person there isn't knowledgeable enough to provide that (they didn't write the rule, and it's not their fault) and will just give you a blanket "no, we cannot allow you to take anything". Usually has to do with user data privacy, but whoever enacted the rule has no idea what hard drives are, so they just say no.
Okay well you are lucky to be able to take things from some places because where I live its agains the law to take stuff from any where and also if you ask any of the companies they just don't allow it because of government policy
I really wish there was an e-waste center in my neighborhood so I could get a free laptop
9:12 Can you just Take it from the waste? In My country its illegal to Take anything from there
how did you take EVERYTHING home
I carried a good deal of it home, then my parents started helping by car. There were a solid two or so carloads.
btw did the macbook worked
No, but I haven't really tried to diagnose yet. It could be a simple problem (eg. failed power button) and I wouldn't know.
Dodoid is your the same model as the other one you tried to fix or is it newer or older
Different. It's a 15" 2009, the other is a 13" 2011.
i wish i could casually pick up an i7
Woah! Amazing finds! Glad you saved those machines.
Also, I'd recommend you looking through that CRT pile next time, because you may find some very good CRT monitors there (Sony trinitron and PVM stuff, they are the bees knees, my friend). They are very good for retro gaming and computing! If you need more info on old Tube TVs, visit /r/CRTgaming on reddit!
The people there are paid by weight, they probably wouldn't be too happy if he started taking CRTs.
lol
You laugh, but it's true. They don't want people to take CRTs, because a crappy CRT television from 1994 that weighs 90 pounds is worth as much as 20 laptops.
Cool I. Red to find a centre near me
stranger things season 3 looks awesome
Wa wa WATT
I want all this stuff ;_;
I want buyer of this wast
Maybe I can find 16 gigs of ddr3
THEY HADDD LEGOOOOO
boi is it legal to take from these places
If the place lets you take stuff, then that's their choice to make. If they choose not to, I wouldn't risk it, since dumpster diving appears to fall in a weird sort of grey area and that may get even weirder if the waste had decent monetary value and they are operating the collection point in order to make money, as is often the case with e-waste. Honestly, I've never really looked into the legality of taking stuff when they say no, as I'd rather not bother it's FAR easier to just find one that says yes. I am not a lawyer, and even if I were I would probably just say to go find one that lets you.
Yea thats gret I meant is it legal to take from where he is taking from. (ottowa e waste thing)
Let me know if you find any Vintage Apple Computers
ye im 34 bro and that music just makes me wanna take an eccy and its to loud and just duzny go with the dumpster diving bro plus slow down man i cany keep up with you. ive nae idea whats goin on HAHAHA ave had ma rant see yu
ai tem muito computador né
Makes me mad when people find a bunch of free electronics that work.
Not usually working systems, but usually close to it (bad HDDs etc).
It's still free hardware XD
BTW how old are you? Just for reference.
14.
Working on some of the machines as we speak, in fact! Doing screen replacement planning and testing at the moment.
I choose not to. Sorry.
That's great. I am 17 and love computers a lot. Too bad there aren't any huge e-waste places in winnipeg. I get most of my stuff from back alleys and the school division as well as friends and neighbours. Garage sales and thrift stores rarely have any interesting computer stuff here in winnipeg.
dang man ur lucky as fuck, i feel like shit watching this it actually made me cry
should take more than just the 486, like pentium 1 to 3s, very useful for dos/9x gaming. Even the OEM dells can provide parts like hdd or optical drives. And that core2quad would of been perfect for high end XP era gaming. Should of rummaged through all the pcs for parts with a friend, never know what good stuff you can find in there!
and while those CRTS aren't the most desireable in general they are perfect for dos to 9x era gaming on as that is what was intended to be used with them and ensures the best compatibility (some lcd has issues with too low of resolution). That atari monitor may well go to a atari microcomputer (anywhere from late 70s to early 90s)
And there is a few good reasons to want a CRT TV, old retro consoles (without modding), vcr, laserdisc etc. Also some microcomputers can output to them via composite or rf. Really the computer dumpster is where all the good stuff will be, esp if they'll let you take w/e you want. Some old sound and video cards can be valueable and same with thsoe eras of processors (for vintage builds)
There's literally a entirely different and awesome world of awesomeness unlike anything else for pc gaming int he dos to 9X world, and even the 2k to XP world.
I just want to cry becouse in my country (Bosnia and Herzegovina) there and no stuff like this no garage sales ever no people that sell this an there are wery little stores that sell this and even they are 60 km away from my house. I wish to live somewhere else one day. Hopefully in a country with some PC stores.
I am still crying... :(
Nifty
Your lucky in the UK we can't dumpster dive it breaking the law you can ask for items from people before they dump it and take it off their hands and so on it love a apple pro and loads of hard drives and SLI gpus
Another tip: those broken microwaves, printers and the like have a lot of useful electronic components like capacitors, motors and other useful stuff in them that can be used for future electronics projects/tinkering. And those capacitors come in handy when you need to recap an old PC/monitor that has bad caps.
They will not let you dumpster dive in the E-Wast dumpsters around here, got away with it a few times before they started keeping the doors shut. Ohh and its a $350 fine or 10 days in jail if caught now!!!
We can't have you beating the system and getting good stuff for free now, can we?
IKR lol
Why should you get any good stuff when there are landfills crying for those thing? Amazing world we live in.
