Dumpsters & Curbside Scrapping - Scrap Happy

how's it going I'm [Music] good morning I am on my way to Rockford about an hour north where I live welcome to sunny Rockford Illinois yes I sound sarcastic but I actually really love this town it it is meant so much to me when I first got clean and sober I came here in 2007 and I stayed here for the next ten years until I moved to DeKalb with my kids but now that I'm in Rockford I bought some dumpsters yes all right I got to go to my doctor's appointment glad I think I'm buddy hit some dumpsters and also I've got a video going of a new channel yeah I like I meant I'm not really watching the video I'm just listening to it but I sure do like new channels yep VA outpatient clinic here in Rockford and I always just get this feeling is a humble feeling walking in there there are a handful of World War two veterans they're in their 90's and and there's some Korean War veterans and a lot of the Vietnam era veterans the majority though are the the Gulf War and then the subsequent or decade later in [Music] Afghanistan and Iraq and that's it's just humbling coming in here and and seeing even in my local area what the what our military what our warriors went through in this in the world it's kind of a windy day but I'm walking with the wind right now so it's probably not very loud yeah outpatient clinic VA somebody gave me an awesome idea they said Paul get some small band-aids and you can place them on the corners of your GoPro worthy the microphone is and that will reduce the wind noise and that's like the best suggestion I have ever heard because that's what you need is something just to break out break those Eddie's those little currents of air that causes those little whipping sounds a lot of people said oh yeah just take the ear piece off of a old headphone and glue it I'm not putting any superglue or any glue even close to this this GoPro but I'm gonna use those little band-aids and that's gonna work perfectly all right let's go hit the appointment Oh sir [Music] all wrapped up with my appointment here in Rockford so I have to go have lunch with a friend but I think I'm gonna go look at a couple dumpsters on the way I have to look at some dumpsters there's some scrap because that's an empty truck they don't work no fill it up do a little bit of scrapping see the Rockford rescue mission van right there yep I was impatient in that recovery for 18 months yep so from summer Oh 2007 to basically January 2009 I was kept getting treatment before a horrific addiction so if you folks find yourself in a position of an addiction by all means seek treatment you can recover I see it all the time now I'm gonna hit no show hit a neighborhood or should I I'm not really sure Rock Valley College yeah let's go see what the college yes I wouldn't hear a couple of semesters god I don't know 30 credits probably yeah very nice school one of my favorites Rock Valley College in Rockford Illinois super awesome college I like colleges way better than the four-year university things Oh way better alright I'll fire this up when we find something so I went to the school for two semesters and I don't even know where the dumpsters are so this is the building for science and math I spent a lot of time there I had to start at the most basic math classes - three years ago all the way up and I think I did six classes to get college algebra and be able to get my associates degree yeah I did a lot of math in that building whoo yeah I learned it did I see the scrap vultures latest video regarding that he can haul stuff with it his his two wheeler more than with a truck and he is so correct there is no doubt about he can hit more dumpsters because if there's you know I think he said you know there's there's hundreds of dumpsters that mean a truck I'll fill up on the first third of the of the journey and it'll take me all day to do it and he can go and find the gold in all of them and just leave the low paying stuff much much faster so where are the dumpsters be so yeah and also there was a commenter you know he he commented on scrap cultures video and he was saying something like he was act like there was competition between some of us scrapping channels and we're not we're not in competition at all we're actually we dovetail very nicely you know just like just like in music you know is the drummer really gonna say Oh drums are great and bass guitar is terrible no we're all gonna play our parts and and that's what we do you know in it's like an eyeball saying man you're you're so stupid you can't see anything I mean really are you kidding me I guess there's no there's no dumpsters on this side but what I was saying about one of the commenters he said yeah man I see you make a lot more money than scrap and pallet man and I'm not sure if the person is watching for him in my videos but scrap vulture is a full-time professional at this and he is well-rounded in all the metals and ebay and resale and I am I don't I scrap what an hour to maybe sometimes in a week I don't do 10 hours of scrapping entire week and he does that in in one day so yeah he's a pro I'm I'm pretty much a hack when it comes to scrapping so you know and I shouldn't I'm not being not probably put myself down I'm just saying that I don't do it full-time yes and I don't really have the the energy levels for doing it full-time but I sure do love doing it dumpster diving so fun not dumping trash picking is my favorite steal and hit the neighborhoods all right so I think that dumpsters on the other side so I just drove around this entire college and the dumpsters must be in some internal area well looks like there's a high-school tour price seniors in high school touring the college that's good stuff right there not a big fan of of the corporate greed and student loans or any of that stuff but I am definitely and an advocate for earning and bumbling and learning through through just trying to figure things out and it's valuable as well I don't know where the dumpsters are Wow that makes no sense it must be one central building how could you have no dumpsters what a prime example of how fast scrapbooker can do he would have written up and looked in that dumpster and have already been upon his way and I'm definitely getting that right now taking a look and it's nothing so hey but he wouldn't found that old hunk of junk sure look at that I don't know I'm not touching it Rob but he wouldn't have taken this big piece of iron anyway so he'd have been off and probably found he'd have been on his way to finding something else pretty quick what do you think would that be a nice Eddy cracking I think it would can dumpster so this says this dumpster is the property of Kellie Williams company and it's for Kelly's market use only violators we press you they're talking about dumping stuff into the dumpster and dumpster divers are taking stuff out so this is not against the rules certainly is empty so yeah that sign was meant don't dump stuff here and fill up our dumpsters where we can't use them obviously they're not talking about people taking stuff out that is recyclable and also making more room for them to throw it away hopefully I don't I know that makes sense to everybody so good stuff I think I should get some gas I can never live another this way we're forever [Music] I can't take it the way you are is anything we'll never be together I don't know how you did it but you lost me all you lost me go good I'm gone just like I should've been I will never [Music] yeah just on my way I'm gonna take a look oh oh stainless steel - oh alright I got some work it looks like there's some electrical to it as well alright I got to move a bunch of kitchen garbage to get to that thing all right who says dumpster diving is not work all right none of those guys look like they're novices so they're I don't think that's just for training that's they're up to something that's good all right how heavy is this guy this could be more of a pant we shall see where is Rick when you need them I don't know if I get the leverage all right back on it hmm I don't even know if I can no I can't I know my limits No dang I want that too I want it how am I gonna get it pull that up towards me this little dump that stuff off just dripping all that dumpster juice all right let's try it yeah I don't know dumpster juice off of it how's it going I'm trying to get some recycled metal yep I'm in the scrapping business and that is a lot of stainless steel that shouldn't be in the landfill yeah okay yeah Wow there's no joke who has no joke alright so those legs are gonna be grabbing it's our Oh a it's a fryer huh guys like yeah if you can get it I don't know if I can hmm all right attempt number two yeah I don't know if I can [Music] yeah well think about this I'd get the leverage to get that out oh there's two let's part please right over there man yeah I just just beyond my ability so pulling up to this pharmacy area now these pallets are not close enough to this dumpster area where I feel comfortable that they really want to get rid of so like if I had permission like that autozone I would definitely pick him up obviously but yeah they looked too close to their area that they're not being discarded and I only want to kidding me okay it's just rain water it would have gotten all over my gloves but yeah so I'm just trying to recycle stuff that would be thrown away so if that's gonna be reused again that's not it's not what I'm looking for all right let's see what they got that go to something previously guys real quick you might say no I might say yes good yeah yeah all right oh good then our managers Verizon which names an order right knee come in just ask for more okay right yeah it's just you know like it looks like it's just junk and you don't know what they want to do yeah well that's been sitting there so hopefully says yeah yeah all right thank you sir yeah so unfortunately I didn't have permission to grab some of that metal so you had a couple couple fails on that dumpster so it's way to open our permission they don't have permission the guy said that he doesn't know what his manager has planned for that which is fine scratching this area at all I was driving by to some Moose Lodge and it looked like there's something by the dumpster that caught my eye so I'm curious and it's wood let's take a look anyway yep the things would have some Christmas lights on it what is in here whole bunch of yep yeah I think I prefer a trash picking definitely one all the bins are you know my size man alright it's a beautiful day it's less windy now it was super windy this morning yeah crazy windy I don't know but the soldiers look I'm just pointing like that I have that button on the Saabs okay so we just went at head lunch and she's not gonna show her face some reason I don't know why but I can just do this and she'll so we got something over here on the side of the road sitting on the side of the road I hope your faces in this shot the javelin so how's your day yeah your day not big old metal springs [Applause] Thanks thanks for recording you're welcome you have grease on your nose [Laughter] there now I don't look a scrapper no you don't look like you can't push a button Sodom strap this thing out because our anti scrappy shocks how are you liking the scrap lunch delicious scrap from going to watch with my doctor's appointment we're going out to lunch yeah that's kind of cool I'm guessing that's bright 10 bucks worth of scrap just by going to luncheon fletcher's 40 bucks the feeling it's gonna bag some paper anyway so drive it in so I'm gonna go to the scrapyard we'll drop it off a film that and wrap up the bidding of the video from there but you know as I'm driving you know because it's a little bit from Rockford to decal it's um you know just I was just playing by myself I was just thinking about God just like that so let's set it to the camera so father and heaven just you know what it's like for us to to go through this this life for God cause you you've been a person even decided to take your robe of heaven off and become a person you know what it's like God we just heed your help because we can't I can't do this without your and you know what it's like which you said your angels just to clear the path and help us to do what you want us to do you're the one that wired us you're the one who made us how we honor God would you just make it obvious with the talents and the gifts they gave us to use those for good here's those for others to love you thank you for saying the Holy Spirit yeah once jesus wept Jesus said that you know I have to go back up to for me to send the Holy Spirit and God thank you for letting a Holy Spirit in us just to counsel us to talk to us to Titus to tell us what's right what's wrong it gets so Thank You Holy Spirit speed you're held for me to know what turn to make what to do and I asked your help in the name of Jesus let's go finish our ride and let's go describe him all right looks like 3,800 sixty pounds my my go died so I'm using my phone to record this last little bit so I got an awesome comment either last night or this morning from from a viewer that said that that little mini refrigerator that I had it doesn't have freon in it or probably doesn't have freon in it and sure enough I looked on the back and has this system that has a electrical thermo coupler type thing and it has no freon so good stuff brother alright guys I'm going old-school I'm using my phone cuz I used up all my battery on my GoPro so hopefully this works I'm not quite sure but yeah this is some refrigerator actually has electric thermal coupling it's it's not a compressor using gas and and how that expansion and evaporation works also why it's really light - I got snippers yeah here is what got a difference the the video and audio make losing my phone magnet all this stuff is definitely steel including this thing [Music] so nine dollars and forty-five cents that's good stuff so 135 in that time bummer so went down a little bit yeah but anyway it's so good though I'm happy about it so hopefully the footage isn't too much different being on my phone cuz my gopro died that doesn't happen very often like yeah anyway you guys be awesome stay awesome do your thing and you know thanks for thanks for hanging out with me on this Friday [Music]
