One day during my off hours at my High School, my district was throwing out their old CRTVS, monitors, cords, and etc computer stuff. So me and my friend ask our Principle and IT guy about salvaging some stuff for ourselves and so we get permission and after school just start searching the stuff. What we found were 2 old Pentium machines with 3.2 Ghz, along with 2 HP ProBooks 4520's (Around $800 each) without power bricks, just being thrown out. I'm actually using the laptop stated in the story the day of finding it and the shock of the idea that the school just throws out stuff they deem as old is actually quite useful to the average person in my town.

Wow, my god. Do you have a four-leaf clover up your butt or something? :P A Color Classic!? The rest you took are great finds, too. The fact that the 5300c works fine is a feat in itself - they suffered terrible reliability problems even when new. I don't blame you for not grabbing the 6400 - they were terribly designed. You should have gotten the 5500, though - they are awesome machines. They weigh 47 lb, a little more than an iMac. The G3 all-in-one was the heaviest Mac, at 59 lb. Oh well. Amazing finds across the board. Can't wait to see more.

You should of taken a closer look at that Window fan. It looks like a Bionaire digital window fan. They sell for $65 at Amazon and $80 at Costco. Nice finds though. You also should of taken that "no-name" PC, it was more than likely a custom build. Those (even if old) are usually good! Also those speakers looked like JBL speakers, you should have taken them.

If he decides to sell them off, he would easily fetch buyers. Those beige computers aren't very collectable yet, so there is not much incentive in buying those if you're not going to use them.

lol, the macs were the most worthless there, and the video is titled vintage macs with the m as M. All of that stuff is junk, but what's really bad is those macs are not even intel macs and are from a time when apple made fun of pc's for using intel and the hardware of pc (this is true, and I know I'm right), and people copied that. When they no longer could keep up, they dumped their old user base, recompiled the OS for x86 circa 2007. And nothing ran anymore. Stuff like that happens to all computers, but it was the biggest change over... And after they made fun. Then they were hailing intel as part of apple as many were clueless. The only value is sentimental, and if any of those macs happened to be worth a lot to collectors. I could see that, but I don't think they were. And again, the monitors. We have some like that and hate to throw them out, at first. But now it's like to to the point, why on Earth are we even keeping them. So heavy, so square, low resolution, fuzzy, dead. We used to keep some computers in case we needed an extra. But now they are so old, I think they belong at the dump.

Man, i have to start going to recycling centers! I am a huge nostalgic nerd when it comes to outdated technology.

I recently did a summer job for an organization that was upgrading its computer equipment, and they sold all their stuff (older, but still nice vista-era C2D Dell SFF desktops, 17-19" LCDs, even some nicer workstation-class vista Dell desktop PCs and a couple nicer monitors) by the pound to a recycling place, even though it was all operational because the cost and labor involved with prepping selling it is actually surprisingly high. Now as to whether or not the recycling place just trashed it all or sold it was not clear because they did have us boxing the monitors face-to-face (thereby protecting the panels), but that may have just been to save space.

I use the term vintage and I'm not a hippie.

I have one of those Power Mac 5500s actually. Got it for roughly $5 when I was 14. Transporting it home on my bike was a pain. It works beautifully though. Currently running OS9. It's even got a TV tuner card in it. I only wish I had enough space on my desk so I could actually use it. Currently it's just gathering dust on top of my drawers.

It makes me sad seeing people just throw these things into bins and such. There are many people who find huge sentimental value in these. I wish I could be there.

It's funny that you found a IIC in that pile - some people really do just throw them out not realizing their value. A friend of mine had one in the basement at her house, complete with the monitor and a box of software. Her and her family were packing up to move out, and her grandmother, in a fit of rage, put the IIC and the box of software out on the curb. My friend knew I collect old electronics, so she told me about what had happened, and needless to say, that IIC now lives in *my* basement. So it's a funny coincidence to me that we both rescued IICs from the garbage.

Dude. I love computers as much as you. Especially Apple computers.

I have one of those older dell pcs and it runs like a champ!

Man, that's a great haul. I hope you can get the Color Classic working.

I collect macintosh computers to and repair them. Btw your channel is one of my favorites

I think it's amazing people use recycling centers to drop off stuff they don't need anymore (as opposed to dumping it in the wild - not sure if that happens where you live, but it sure used to where I do!), so they should definitely be accessible to people like computer geeks who want to pick stuff up and continue using it.

Hey Vwestlife. That no-name PC looked like it was in a case very similar to what we had here in the UK about 2004/5 MESH Computers used to use that style of case with the same grill. Also it looked like it had some kinda temperature or diagnostics control panel on it. Very interesting visit to the dump mate, keep the videos up. Cheers.

Amazing finds. I definitely take issue with how dismissive you were of that 6400 though, it's one of my favorite classic Macs! MacOS Classic represent!

Well done getting the Apple IIc. In the UK they won't normally allow you to take anything away due to some rule or another. And some sites even have CCTV back to main base even watching the employees.

wow, such a nice kind person that cares about apple products, so awsome

Here in 2020! That Magnavox monitor at 0:50 looks a lot like mine. This model is CM8762 from the back label you just happened to film (thanks for that). I will have to check my monitor's model to be sure. It's broken at the moment & stored in another building for hopefully future repair. I used it for the longest time on my C64, which I still also have. I might return here once I find my Magnavox. I also want that equalizer, heh. As a tech geek myself, I see value in all those things that other people threw away in this video, just like others have commented here. As the saying goes... "One man's trash is another man's treasure." You have to wonder if probably a school, or a company, dumped most of that stuff there, including the Apples, which is why you said you rarely saw that much at one time.

I used to have those old Mac towers. Got rid of them about 7 or 8 years ago. Man do I ever regret doing so. They worked just fine. I just didn't have the space for them at the time. :/

This makes me so sad that so much of this beautiful old tech is just thrown away. I wish we had a place like this. All electronics gear is just put in the bin so it doesn't even really get recycled properly. I'd hate to think how many classic era PCs are landfill now.

I didnt want this video to end, this was a very exciting video

your so lucky to find those, im always looking at old apples on ebay wishing i could own one

My favorite quote is " Hi Fi speaker system.. yeah right those things sound like crap..!! " lol

It's sad to see a lot of old electronics that probably still work perfectly fine go to waste, especially those old T.Vs someone could still use those. I have an old 13 inch CRT that still works great even though it is over 25 years old. Old T.Vs can last a long time especially CRT's. I have a old LCD T.V that still works great even though it is almost 15 years old. It is appalling how much stuff people throw away even though it still works.

Awesome finds, congrats!

That Performa 6360 was the exact model of my first computer. I keep on the lhe lookout on ebay in case one pops up because I want one for my own collection.

Wow, wish we had recycling centres like that here in the UK

Geez... I still can't believe people are uneducated enough that they would throw away classics Macs. Don't they at least have the sense to think, "Hey--maybe this machine is special in some way!" I am glad a fellow collector like yourself was able to rescue these. I am a bit appalled by your recycling center as well... my place has contracts with the city and is very secure; my local center would not leave computers out in the open. Lucky for you!

Appalled? I'm amazed he was even able to go and take the stuff. In the UK its very hard to find stuff like this so when ever i even see a crappy dell from 1997 i still take it.

I'm still rocking two of those LaserJet printers. That beasts are undestructable and toner is cheap!

What a waste. You can fix about all of that stuff. It blows my mind what people throw away. Love to have one of the Mac desktops.

An SE/30 !!

We get nothing like that in England. Due to legal rulings that were brought in you can't take anything from Recycling centres. It's quite rare for anything like old Beige Macs or Packard Bells (90's) to show up outside of eBay.

It's bittersweet to see the black Dell Dimension at a recycling center, almost like it belongs there because there are so damn many of them in the world. But not those Apple desktops, even if the Performa weighs nearly 50 pounds.

We have something like that in Chicago here, which happens 1 day every year and they get rid of toxic wastes, computer/electrical parts, and more. They don't let the public take anything, but I have a buddy who works there, so he lets me come in and grab some things. Lets just say, credit cards, Steam accounts, Bank info, and more for days. I don't use it as I have no need, and its not my info to be messing with, but I do take the hardware and build servers and stuff out of them. Pretty cool!

aaah maan im in need of a typewriter and they are tossing them in the trash! anyway , that is a awesome find VWwestlife . i just love those beige vintage keys .

I've found some good things at recycling centers but.. Wow.. You made out like a bandit.
