Area rugs, large ones, do sell well. Take them to the car wash and wash them first. Then lay out in garage and do a deep clean! Very worth the time. Wool or not

The way electricity prices are going, the wood in the first dumpster will be worth collecting more than the metal soon.

Lol no doubt. Cut some trees down last year and splitting them now. A Rick of wood last year cost as much as 120$ I live in Tennessee. Crazy high not many people selling it and a lot of people want it

A noble quest, a trusty steed, loyal side kick, side missions and no breaking of glass! Nice one!

So nice to see if not the knly one that brings my kids scrap hunting. Ones 8 and other is 3 but the 3 year old knows what copper is lol she lets me know!

“Don’t want to get to close to the broken glass “ as he grabs the glass and rips the frame off of it! Lol. The “I don’t know what it is” thing is an airbag for a tractor trailer.

That orange sheet you found behind the dumpster is for grills. It's supposed to be so you can grill and not get your grill dirty. They don't work that well.

We used to use sheets like that at McD's on our clamshell grills. They worked (pretty good) for about a day worth of cooking.

Hey Thub, find yourself a long garden tool handle (hoe, shovel, etc) and drive a nail through the end of it at an angle. You can use it to root around and not get into the dumpster, or to pick most stuff out of it. Sometimes things will be too heavy or too buried for that, but this still saves you some diving.

A old paint roller works if you brake the roller cage off it and bend a hook into the rod and put it on a long pole!

@@BushDogScrapper Yep! I like the simple nail/spike, as I use it to stab aluminum cans so I don't have to get in the dumpster or crawl into a bramble thicket to get a can. Just whack it and pull it out. :) I like talking to other scrappers, just to see how inventive we are!

I remember that microwave (the broken one). It served me well for many many years. It sounds like it died doing what it loved. Goodnight sweet prince.

16:10 sniff test before handing to the Mrs. 😆 Wise move.

That reminds me of when my daughter was little and she would go with me to ride through the alley ways with me when I would search for junk

I look forward to your videos. Keep on scraping.

12:50 looks like the outer chamber of Large truck air suspension. Nice finds keep it up👍♻️✌

Lol! Huh.... Who knew a microwave could end itself lol,"the microwave microwaved itself" lol i will never forget that. Great job guys i really enjoyed this adventure can't wait until the next one .

축복입니다 행운을 빌어요 🇰🇷👍💖🙏

@ 12:48 What you don’t know is… A car airbag. For suspension. Good aluminum ring if you can cut it.

The ‘port hole’ was also a part of it 👍

Mission completed. Nothing better than a free working microwave when you need one. 👍

I believe that plastic rubber looking thing in the dumpster with what looked like auto stuff is an air suspension bag.

Haha awesome! I'm so glad you found a microwave that works! 👍👍😁😁

Magnificent.

awesome...!!!

The rubber cylinder you find at 12:50 is part of an air bag suspension for a commercial truck. Specifically the air bag. They wear out over time and need to be replaced. The one you found is a little one, probably from a box truck.

The paper you found was parchment paper for cooking on ., kim

Cheers Thub and Wubb it's awesome to see the next generation scrapper hard at working helping dear old Dad! Hope you both have awesome September long weekend! ♻😎👍

Cracking thanks for sharing!

12:48. "Another one of those" They are the rubber boots to an air spring for tractor-trailers.

I feel like thub would be such a cool dude to meet. He seems so genuine

12:51 suspension airbags

Great video

Great video drake

did not know not to use a empty microwave that saved me some problems thanks

The rubber thing is an airbag for an inflatable suspension system. They usually are in large semi trucks or dump trucks and such.

Wow he's getting so big! Great last minute score so you can keep the money and wifey stays happy 😁

Haha mission accomplished. Awesome.

Awesome video! more sourcing videos please!!

Love taking my i D's scraping they have so much fun and are always learning asking questions and when I'm with the kids security never bothers me lol.....

You should always hit stop before opening the door on your microwave. The door contacts will go bad if you open it before it's off, at least that's what others have said.

Those big rubber things with the metal ends are vehicle airbags

Have you ever found a live skunk in a dumpster? I have! Scared the beejeebees out of me.

Like walking through the yellow mist in Elden Ring

My cousin had a issue with putting forks and spoons in the microwave when he was young haha seen a few good light shows and a very upset aunty 💥💥💥😂

I never knew not to do that with microwaves. Good to know. Hey Thub I was wondering if scrapyards in Calgary offer refrigerant disposal and if you know how that might work. I have an ice machine I want to scrap.

As a picker, I could supply you with fans, microwaves, etc; however, it would take even months to find one. You'd have to take the microwave I find 4 you has a 2nd spare microwave long before you need one.

16:40 nonstick copper grill mats to cook on

The thing you said I don’t know what that is still I believe that’s an air ride shock absorber from a larger truck.

I think that stuff is to use on the grill, so your food won't slip through the grates. I have some, and I hate to wash it after. That was the plastic looking stuff I am talking about.

Those are airbags for the air ride suspension on semi trucks and trailers.

You found a thing while doing a thing and that’s a thing, I think! God bless 🙏🏼🇺🇸🇨🇦

(12:50) I" still don't know what these are still" They are air bags for trucks, if you want to carry more weight in your truck you should get a set of these they will probably be called bag helpers for your application, you can get them in strut/shock form as well. A little air compressor action and next thing you know you can throw another 1,000 pound in. I could tell you all the nice things they do but I'll leave online for that 😜

❤❤❤❤

geez, that first dumpster was the most tightly packed mess I've seen lol

Nooo - Thubbie! That rug WAS for you. Most likely wool, and amazingly easy to clean. Spray it with some rug cleaner, hang it over a rail or fence, and hose the daylights out of it. Let it dry - Bob's yer uncle. Good to see Wubb. I've been rewatching old videos with little Wubb, and it's amazing to see the difference.

Great video as always, I loved that it was a mission 😂

You have one of the best attitudes ever….. get video

I also love transformers but the robot kind from the 80s. Lol

Was anyone else confused by the wife leaving joke? I wasn't sure whether to chuckle or not

Nice haul, nice score on the microwave.

He jumped in bin when a picker stick could have done the job. I use $25 Unger picker stick ("Nifty Nabber") from Home Depot, good for reaching in locked bins, under fences, etc.

Yay First Always a highlight of the week watching your vids @thubprint

Your videos are always awesome m8,keep making more

12:56 that’s an airbag for trailers such as gas or any other trailer such as that.

I sure hope you take that back outside and open it up and clean it because it could have bugs in it

I’m pretty sure that non stick copper colored mat is just what it looks like. It’s a job stick material woven with copper . Not scrappable I wouldn’t think but interesting nonetheless

Love your vídeos! Hello from Brazil!!!

its an airbag for suspensions

You didn't pick up the ironing board 👍♻️

THUB! You should put advertising on your vehicle that you collect scrap and put your number down!

no on the ironing board?

for @12:53 that looks to be a air bag my guess is for a truck. Think at that wire @13:20 was from a cars wiring harness.

At 12:55 I'm pretty sire those are air bags for semis

Those poles are going for $80 .each.I often make them.and I pay 85 for the steel to make them .The guardrail sell that .If I lived with in a hundred miles of you I would be your best friend

Great video as usual and a big congratulations on the completed quest. I was wondering how the scrap prices are doing there? As for the prices here in west virginia they have fallen so bad the only Scrapping I'm doing is with you and your channel.

13:18 wiring harness for cars or trucks.

Watch out for the dumpster pandas. AKA racoons.

Hey Thub! Was just watching an older video of yours (security guard caught you 😂) but when you were at the yard - you saw a bunch of already fired bullets - but there’s a shooting range near where I live and I go there and pick up all the brass casings - It’s honestly a really quick way to make some cash .. was gonna say idk if there’s any ranges near where you live, but it’s the only place I know where there’s a bunch of brass just laying around waiting to get picked up .. and where I live they actually promote it so the place doesn’t get all trashed up, so nobody cares if you take it, they just sweep it up and throw it in the trash can … but sorry off topic comment on this video, just wanted to throw ideas at you on where to maybe find some good metal to take in - just recently bought a smelter, I’m thinking of making some brass bricks w/ them instead of taking in to see how that works out #LeaveItBetterThanYouFoundIt

Air bag rubber

The thing you found in the dumpster and you didn’t know what it was is a airbag the hold and release air for air breaks on a semi

I don't think I would get a microwave off the street and take it to my kitchen.

Since she broke the microwave, I think she should scrub this one.

16:55 leave it better than you find it You complain about the mattresses on the ground but still it's too to drop that paper inside of dumpster

Should I be avoiding capacitors I see you put the one back made me very curious as to why.

You don’t pick up can redemptions anymore?

Kids would be sooo much cheaper if you didn't have to feed them, house them, dress them, get medical insurance for them or educate them and all the other misc.

Whenever you say leave it better than you found it, what do you mean
