Somebody once spent a lot of money on this collection😮

There’s so much scrap metal where you are, I’m a full time builder and collect scrap metal like steel, copper, stainless etc but here in the UK scrap metal gets taken within an 20 minutes of it getting put out😂

Dude,you are a natural at explaining and instructing as well as demonstrating things on video. I am a new subscriber who loves your channel,your personality. Any career in teaching or instructing would benifit from your presence. Take care dude,be well and careful out there,hello to your friends as well.

Much as 50% the point of your channel is how we enjoy the highs and lows of the adventure of theorycrafting what we would've done with your haul instead of what you did... 200 in a bundle for all those DVDs is a huge win for you. 1 transaction and they're out the door. There is a gold star when you get something done in 1 single step. Even just the conversation you'd have to have to break it into just 2 transactions is a significant step up in hassle. But any time you can get rid of 400 things where the only conversation is "Yes or No?" instead of "What if, could I, how about, maybe I'll, I'll see if..." no. Yes or no, all of it. Yes? Then that's an A+ move.

Always nice to know some people get where I’m coming from! It was quick, it was clean, and I’m a big chunk better off than I was the day before. The fact that I could maybe have made a bunch more over the course of the week is irrelevant, I’m not trying to be a movie store lol

Very well said. Totally agree

Those dudes need to watch a bunch more KZread scrapper vids to be efficient like Thub! No one should ruin a $5 blade to get out $1.50 steel rim or disassemble a furnace for an hour for 50¢ worth of brass and aluminum. Lots to learn! You were so kind and patient to help them, Thub!🙂👍

That's a lot of DVDs. Oh my. You are so close to 100,000 subscribers. Good stuff

Ah man, that poop wire trap though, thats something else haha

rewatching all of canada's worst driver, guess its better than most trilogies

If ya come on more commercial sanke beer kegs in the future, it's fairly easy to pop out the valves (called a "spear") from the top without using up a griding wheel or two on the stainless! They're held in either as a screw in fitting which fits most prybar if you wedge it in and use it like a big screwdriver (old school), or on newer ones all use a spring clip you can pop out with a little fiddling with a small flat screwdriver and a pick. Slight tuen to line up the tabs with the sloy and out it comes! worked at a brewery without a sanke fitting keg washer or counterpressure keg filling equipment a few years back so got real good at taking kegs apart to clean em!

You are an inspiration. Big Country Scrapper inspires youthful scrappers to learn the trade.

7:30 the sound of those springs being unloaded actually made a riff.

I bundle them based on reading their preferences and give them away to people who just had major surgery, because when it happened to me that’s one thing I do remember wanting.

Good to see gloves on 👍👍

📌Well I don't think I'm going to tell you again but obviously that last place is close to your home because you were able to run and get a broom real quick so I don't understand why you didn't leave them a flyer so this way you won't have to do all that work of digging. It's much easier to buy somebody lunch that will just give you a phone call and say hey come get those before I put it in the dumpster. You might be leaving it better than you found it but you're also working harder than You should 🤣

Night Stalker video collection nice!!!

Beginner scrappers are so cute. Lol Reminds me a little of when you were new to the game. In my exp. those are the concepts new scrappers struggle with. Volume, time, storage, separation, etc.

In my area - we’re getting about 13¢/pound for steel … $3.35 USD/pound for copper #1 .. and 55¢/pound for cans …. CONGRATULATIONS on the 93K!

Perfume is one of my favorite adaptations of a book, though the book did an amazing job with its imagery.

Goonies! Must! Rescue! Goonies! (LOL) Dude, you hit the motherlode. I figured Thub would sell those in bulk to someone who does fleas, probably for about .25 each. CND$200 sounds like a good payday on a zero investment.

That was a great deal on those videos. I hope you got a fair rate for your consultancy time 😎. You sure worked for that last dumpster load. 👍

You were set up like a bowling pin my boy. 😊

Dvd and bluray are good to have! As I re-watch shows, I've noticed that a few scenes are edited and some are missing entirely from when I watched them a year or so ago. It occurred to me that as more and more things become "offensive", our purchased shows and movies from our streaming services and it's possible they will become more and more edited. So I've been ramping up my dvd/bluray collection. Also because I went looking for "Poolhall Junkies" and could only find between $50-120. NOW is the time to collect these!

The S-10 I bought blew up a week after I bought it. Luckily it was my friend and he didn’t honor the deal and gave me my money back. He can sell it by parting it out for more than I paid him and I even offered to help with that. So I found a Toyota Camry that couldn’t be passed up but I said I wouldn’t use it for scrapping. I hauled off 240 pounds of prepared #1, 21 pounds of insulated wire, 7 pounds of motherboards from a server, 5 pounds of copper/aluminum condensers, 41 pounds of sealed units/compressors, and 6 pounds of breakage to my scrapyard today. 🤣 Made $75 US. I still have 300+ pounds of shred IDK what to do with, as I can’t keep doing that to Sterling (I named the Camry Sterling as he is rather refined for his age.)

BeO can also be pink. Typically its white. So color doesn't tell you anything. BeO is too expensive for commercial appliances, and it would be covered in warning stickers. I've heard various rumors that most microwaves before 2005 will have them, others say not a chance since the 1960s. Chromium-doped aluminum is typically used (its just a high temperature heatsink, outside of military applications you wouldn't need Beryllium).

That last dumpster. The way that it was loaded means they don't give a damn for the contents. Nothing which they were saving. But there were vehicles parked very close to that. Someone rummaging around on top of that and they'd be worried about their vehicles copping junk and dust. They won't know that it is not some irresponsible yahoo who does not give a damn.

Would it not have been easier to get at those aluminum door frames if you chucked all of the metal beams out of the bin and not just the aluminum ones.
