- It's warmed up a little bit, which makes it a great time for some dumpster diving! Treasure hunting for some scrap metal in the trash, we come across a few items that completely took the scrap hunt to a new level!
Wire stripper I use: amzn.to/3sirg18
The motorized stripper: amzn.to/3y0JMuQ
The wire cutters I like: amzn.to/2T6j3OW
This is the cheaper version: amzn.to/2SwrYsB
And here are those grips I recommend: amzn.to/2QCJmYl

That last piece out of the green dumpster has a massive compressed spring that works in conjunction with a large truck air brake system. Do NOT take it apart unless you know exactly what your doing!!!! Enough energy in that spring to kill or maim!!!!
Very true!
Even in the snow, you are still putting in the work! This sets a really good example for the younger generation 👏
It's Canada 🇨🇦 it's always winter. Lol
"Bin There, Dump That" - Awesome!
You don’t care what the weather is you’re just out there trying to get paid RESPECT
me thinks the long equipment you were next to talking about asking, is part of the 5g equipment for a full cell tower.
I love scrapping and scrapping videos. I use scrapping videos for a reference and refresher.
That's a brake can got a spring it the aluminum to steel.can it has kill people taking. Them apart
Hello Thub. I really enjoy your content. By the way I worked in telecommunications for 8 years here in Missouri. We used Ericsson products. You are right about that RRU being worth a lot and about them being challenging to resell. Your best bet may be to find companies that refurbish them. Even though they may appear to be new likely they wouldn't throw them away if there wasn't something wrong with them internally. However, even if there was something wrong with them a company who refurbishs them would still place a high value on them and have the means to make them serviceable.
I wished I was able to scrap from my telecom company when I worked there. I highly recommend you keep visiting that place or even better make a friend there who can inform you when they are getting rid of mounting hardware or devices like the RRUs, switches, coax cable, even scraps of very thick cable or antennas [which is the huge pile of devices you first came across at that location].
The antennas you saw are what are installed on cellular towers. They are replaced when they go out and since there are usually many in a market they seemed to me to be replaced fairly regularly. The antennas will likely have 3 metal stripps down the length of them that may be worth your time plus the end with the connectors. I'm curious if you would find them to be worth your time. They may make an interesting video.
Blessings brother. I'll keep doing the thing & leaving it better than I found it along with you.
I just remembered the company that we sent our parts to be refurbished is called CBRE. Hope that helps. Blessings!
Still watching you man, it's been years you got that package (container box) from me, cool you still remember! ~ stay safe man, Mark (Netherlands)
Goede daad 👍
made a bill today walking.....found a good bin full of copper bass and wire......you are a true scrap soldier like myself....keep making the vids dude.....cheers from toronto
Ouch winter
Hi Thub, my baseball shirt arrived today. It's great, thanks ever so much. I'm now officially a Trash Panda 😄👍
You had me in tears here in Edmonton,when you were ripping apart that storm door. I clean those up and sell them for at least $100 when I find them😢
The ending of the video is the best part. I loved it.
Ahoy! Thumbs up but I will save this for a little later tonight when I hit my route. Keep doing the thing, y’all!
Great Video Brother the weather here in Alberta has been awesome for scrapping! CheeRS
all the time i was yelling at the screen about the other box, glad you went back
I'm hate the cold when I'm scrapping!!!
Great video , as ever and a fantastic box of sweets from Holland .
Always great to see Wub too.
Keep on keeping on .
Another great TH-camr i watch your videos as well
Hello from the Oregon coast, my name is Tyler, I work at a scrap yard and I'm the non-ferrous guy. It's really cool the difference and things that are the same. But really cool what your doing, the video and showing what's in it to win it.
The radio is a tower mounted radio that goes behind the Cellular antenna they are used for 4g service fiber optic line runs into the radio this avoids the signal drop Runing through the coax to the ground
Should have finished the video before commenting
Thanks Thub. ❤️💙 oh and I loved the sweet haul. Nom nom. 🤗
13:14
wow man you really shouldve took all those towers! what a great find.
“We’ve Got the Tools ⚒️ We’ll Make it Fit” 😂👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼 - @junkngrind. Your Scrap God TH-cam Celebrity Status Sir 🎉
Netherlands is the write way to say it i used to be Holland but not any more
LOL I thought the red "SERVICE" tag said "EVIDENCE" when you first passed by it, I was like "No Thub, get outta there!"
Always great day when I see a new video from you. Love how chill your videos are.
You are a fabulous human being. Thank you❤️🏴💕
Let's go in and ask!
Instantly skips to next container 😃 guess that was a no 😂
I liked the unboxing. Hopefully you can sell those expensive things! Best part....cat in space with pizza pillow ?!?! WHAT? LOVE IT 🤯
Thank you. You made me laugh out loud on a day I really needed it.
Bit cold but you got it done!!!; )
Nice find
Another awesome video as usual. Kinda like the unboxing clips in the vids tbh
When you mentioned new people I went to see which video popped off, 2 in a row! One was 5 best such and such and the other was 10 things this and that. TH-cam is telling you something lol, it wants your knowledge in the form of 5 best and 10 things
Great video as always, keep it up!
That was a great haul!
Oooh snow, sooo cold..
Very cool care package from Holland! Great video. I just can't get over how cold it seems there. I'm from the desert in Texas so, brrrrr!
I suddenly just got hungry !! 😋. Thub, those things at 13.14 look like cell phone tower transmitters, did you go and ask about them ?? 👍
The cylinders with covers look like concrete test cylinders. The scoop they use to fill them.
Yes they look like 4" x 6" cylinders to test concrete compressive strength
Nice load Thub!
You should ask some of the better locations if you can leave a garbage can induce for metal only. They maybe willing to.
Haven’t watched in a while but nice to be back
Have watched your videos for a while now, have not made a comment, until now. Have not subscribed. Did not know you were a family man. Good for you. Subscribing, now.
Well thank you! I do what I can haha, I just hope I’m doing a good job 👍
Great vid my friend
Tenacious D - The Metal
Very nice 👍
Miss all those back alleys behind homes in Calgary. Hardly an here in Cambridge \ Kitchener area.
Lovely snow it's been raining in Aberdeen Scotland for 5 days I'm glad I work from home have a great day thub .
오늘도 축복을 빌어봅니다 응원합니다 행복하세요 🇰🇷👍💖🇰🇷👍💖🙏
Those grey cylinders are usually for concrete/grout samples, fyi.
don't throw the pumpkins🎃 away ? eat them.
There antennas for phone towers not much metal aluminum, some brass gold plated ends lot of little screws to take off lot of fiberglass trash love your videos
I am new to scraping not to the extent that you and others are at i just do not have the room to go that far into it. I am mostly scrapping copper and i was wondering how do you get the coating off of copper from alternators , transformers , starter motors just to name a few. i am a new subscriber to your videos and enjoy them very much. A fan from Medicine Hat Alberta.
I used to work in a scrap yard and did all the copper people brought in. Coated wires as in that clear plastic stuff is left on and the copper is graded as no.2. This also applies to the dark colored dyed windings. Every company is different but this is how we did it.
Do not try to burn it off, most scrapyards don’t even accept it that way. As said, just turn it in as #2 wire, they don’t knock it down that much in price.
Gary, Thub has a video about a couple of wire strippers he tested. You may want to check them out. They use a drill and seem like something I'll invest in at some point as I too am just getting into scrapping. Blessings!
Had my biggest scrap run yet yesterday 121$ in non ferrous and 636 in no1 insulated(173 pounds)
No1 copper(46 pounds)
No 3 electric motor copperwire(65 pounds)
Hi just that song ha ha sufi dance I keep singing it
12:40 those cylinders look like molds to sample concrete. Once concrete is cured the concrete cylinders are put in a press to test compressive strength. It's a shame they were wasted but oh well.
I am so not jealous of you and the weather you have. I hate low teens in the winter... I couldn't do it for much more than a month or so a year! Lol!
Awesome care package!
28:26 in the name of love!
At 7:25, he left a couple deposit containers, which he could easily grab with a picker stick (I use Nifty Nabber from Home Depot, $25 Can, has magnet). Also, use picker stick to pick up garbage around bin, so you're not blamed & people see you respecting property.
Sheesh bro that weather out there is somethin else! Cheers from Vancouver lol
my buddy and I wanna try and build a forge and foundry!
Got hit some snow bit early here, gotta go pick me up some warm work gloves since i used all mine up last winter.
That brake chamber that you found be extremely careful if you decided to take it apart it's spring loaded and extremely deadly i just throw them in shred
Every time I see the wires. I think the shredder people gonna hate that. Haha
Been construction dumpster diving. Mainly going for Copper and Brass. No vehicle :(
The Netherlands is Dutch Holland is in the Netherlands.
The blue water buckets you might want to use to hold small parts. This way roads not accidentally fall out and get into yours or other people's tire. And they can make more room in your back. Or use them as a tool carry.( tool tub) cut where you desire! Just a little tip from a little panda! Haha
Telecom, cell tower antennas, some aluminum and brass. A lot o plastic and/or fiberglass.
GJ bro, time to get that plasma torch :)
that raido thing pulls up a listing on ebay for $900. Also another listing for $1534.50. looks like its a cell site device. Never mind you know lol.
looks very tasty
Those heavy-duty brackets probably used to mount the 5G things. Also the 5G things probably have serious copper inside. Why else would it be so heavy 🤔. That was some good treasures despite the snow covering everything. Stay warm brother & happy hunting.
Nice grabbed a steelwall stud. I watch mike the scavenger and he hates those things. Keep the videos coming thub
Curse you man. I have shaka ron in my brainball now 😵💫
Let’s just ignore that face starring at you in the bag at 11.29 👀
You should throw in some heavy metal music clips when you say "metal"!
That sounds hilarious and I’ll keep it in mind 😆
As someone who makes cad drawings for cell tower and Mount "fixes" that it's one of the coolest finds. I would have been all over that dumpster looking for other parts just to keep!
Basic description of an rru:
These transceivers connect wireless devices with wireless networks, making it possible to send and receive text messages, among other things
just remember to save your dice for table top RPGs such as D and D
The reason i asked was that i seen a video where a person said you could use acetone to get the varnish or the coating off it really wouldnt work for me my self because i work in my home so not an option. I was just curious if anyone else heard of this method.
Hey thub
💜💜💜💜
Go get that free scrap mate no matter how cold it is lol
Alot of time those green dumpster are recycling and are not always fair game cause someone else wanted to cash out
Hello from Hope B.C from a fellow scrap/ scavenging man. I think you should take those gloves and leave them in a dumpster. Shame on hockey Canada, this comes from a 10yr hockey dad.
quick question is 10rw30 wire when stripped bare bright or #2? its stranded wire but idk cause its kinda thick
Can the plastic from appliances and other items be recycled?
Part of me is envious you have such easy access to so many open tops, until I see the snow and freezing temps in your part of Canada. 12c here today.
And congrats to the increase in subs.
First
At 13:25 of the video that is a decommissioned cell phone tower
Might not be fun for you, but it is fun for... me at least :D
#5, cuz. One thing I noticed is that you haven't been recycling beverage containers. Do you still do that or the redemption is dried up?
Heck you went ape-poop crazy on that! Guaranteed some substantial change.
I was looking for good ways to make money as a young teen, and I found your channel. But some of this stuff is stuff I don't know how to do, or I'm too scared to try. Any tips? For now I've been collecting bottles and cans, but that's it
You didn't ask about the metal things behind that commercial business?
They still have hot dog Fridays at RAYCAN?
I hope you can sell them for mega dollars.
why do i always get the feeling that you are wendys brother ben!
Might want to bring your magnet fishing rig for out of reach items…
