Dumpster Diving “Flat Screen TV Wrassling”

got some stuff i found off camera here well first 
let me see i'm gonna go do some dumpster diving   i'm not sure where i'm gonna go this is a 
sunday about 3 p.m so we've got basically   the whole area open to us i was thinking about 
going north and then deciding but anyways here's   some stuff i found off camera nice little pair of 
nice little pair of nikes for the freetail store.   those are a touch small for me i was hoping those 
would fit me. this for next freetail load and then   super exciting aluminum frying pan   nice little level look at that project source 
it's functional all three of the bubbles work a little piece of aluminum i could 
scrap that if i want to but uh   it's nice little level i'll probably keep that and everyone's favorite nice bits of copper look 
at that i like that that's the good stuff.   i really underestimated 
the copper in my last video that was three pounds it'd be worth 
about ten dollars and twenty cents.   that's basically a ten dollar 
bill right there you're looking at that's how it's done folks! i normally don't take these cans.

Sometimes when 
they're right in front of my face i'll take them if there's not a bunch of liquid in them those little motors i might have a that's close that's close to a pound. probably not quite.   that might be close to two pounds of romex 
right there. nice wire i'll take the the bare   bright copper out of there and add it to this so 
it'll be a pound a pound of bear bright copper there i guess i'll take it nice doesn't look like much but that's that's a 
great start really probably might be closer to   two pounds copper pound or two of uh number one 
insulated copper there's probably a pound or two   two pounds number one insulated copper um 
i can get dirty brass out of that big chunk   so lots of scrap yards might actually give 
me number one that's the copper wire for this   for those of you that might be going to the 
scrap yard no that's going to be a number   two insulated copper wire see the content 
that's a that's a lot of insulation sheesh   that's definitely number two uh i was expecting 
i was expecting more copper in that thing anyways   number two is good number two is it like 
a dollar fifteen dollar twenty last time   number one insulated copper wire what it 
what was it? dollar seventy or eighty.

That bare bright it was at three dollars it's 
been three dollars forty cents three dollars   sixty cents last couple weeks. very next dumpster 
there's like an old computer monitor in there   and a little piece of tin back there one of 
those black plastic stackable shelves in there   and a mop bucket mop ringer and that type of stuff   lots of this kind of stuff was out here i 
just i stopped showing it at a point because   i don't want to bore my viewers but in my last 
video i found some monitors some old monitors   and i was saying they're all-in-one 
computers i think i was wrong about that   but uh the older like this is an older one 
these older monitors and flat screen tvs   we'll have chunky transformers in them and 
be just basically loaded with with the scrap i mean not loaded not super valuable the new 
ones are just basically plastic and light plastic check this out there's some oh no it's just cheap cheapy 
cheap cheap um two of these sterilite   drawers storage drawers these are probably 
thirty forty dollars i would imagine   um looks like that one's got some pepsi or 
some coca-cola sprayed on it no big deal   but uh i already went through them they're empty 
i just wanted to show you wanted stuff like that   these you could probably find a couple 
of these in a week or so maybe first day um anyways lots and lots and lots of usable stuff so it's a little electric motor in 
there if you want to go after that   this is one of those dumpsters that's manufactured 
wrong see where the welder welded these inside   sheets well i guess it'd be the triangle tube too 
low but it's making it making that stick up there   that's where you whack your elbows and your 
wrists it's a dumpster diver's digger sparkle it's a dumpster divers uh what's 
up what's a good phrase for that dumpster divers hip bone hip bone happening i just can't think of one let 
me know in the comments what a good one would be.   what's under here just out of curiosity? stench and wetness and grossness! leave a little piggy tail unless in 
case someone wants to come by here   and uh salvage that vacuum cleaner if 
they want to test it out real quick they   can just splice the cord i learned that from 
youtube after i came to youtube i made videos like hey man why don't you leave a little piggy 
tail because a lot of people hate hate cord   cutters a lot of people like to get stuff like 
that not just vacuum cleaners but all kinds of   electronics so basically when it's outside 
the dumpster i'll start leaving little piggy tails um hmm so wow so so um so so yes so so so there's some kind of some kind of gizmo down there can you hear can you hear that? i always get a kick out of that.

Look at 
this place it's about that time of year where   mosquitoes will start breeding here. this is going 
to be a health hazard right there what you think? you're a tough guy huh so uh gold plated pins on there. boardsort.com takes 
those. you might have a scrap yard or some place   that might buy those. i don't know if the 
gopro can pick that up. see the gold? the   gold pins gold-plated pins in there? um 
i also found these little package of uh ends for communications wires see 
all the gold plate in there mosquito   dang it i was just talking about mosquitoes look 
at that um still a gold plate of pins in there so e-waste ben is a channel who's been 
hoarding that stuff for a long time i think i was kind of born out of needing to pay rent 
in a couple weeks and needing to make fast money   right now so i never really got into hoarding 
stuff uh until here recently with the addition   of making youtube videos um it's not now i can 
hoard stuff and that might be a good idea now   oh i guess i guess i guess that's always been a 
good idea but now it might really pay off this   i've been finding a lot of these older tvs um i 
know one video i said older tvs it sounds like   i'm talking about the glass tube crt tvs but 
the older the first generations of flat screens   show you all these transformers in there there's 
actually pretty good scrap metal in these uh that would be one where you could probably 
scrap out the problem is where i live   they don't they don't know no uh scrapyards 
take these unless they have the screens   taken out they don't take the screen 
i think the screens jam up their uh   their shredders there might be other problems 
too i don't know exactly how that works   i've never had a tour through a big mill 
scrap yard before but that's an aluminum case   or i mean a metal tin metal case and uh 
look at these transformers over there see that there's two there 
there's a couple over there   these things are just loaded with transformers 
those are big blocks of aluminum i do believe   um that would be a good one to scrap 
out actually so i've probably said many times in my videos these aren't 
worth scrapping out but that's   a lot of situational stuff in here 
so i got to be careful what i say   that's a situation where yeah you could you could 
definitely take that home and get some money   what is that right there that's catching my 
eye right there it almost looks like a cpu chip   i know it's not though i think it's not this 
shouldn't have a cpu chip in it should it oh you know what i'm gonna come back 
and get that i'm gonna scrap that out   i'm gonna make a scrap video down the line 
somewhere i got some other wire in here too   so and turn the camera on for but uh you 
know what i'm gonna come back and get that i don't want to haul around with me right now 
that's probably heavy oh yeah shoot this heavy oh jeez yeah it feels like it's about 80 
pounds um i'm gonna come back and get that   i don't wanna have to haul 
around for the rest of the video down the line i'm gonna make a video scrapping 
out some old ones and then i'll find some new ones   and like the ones that just got broken screens 
they're like a couple months old or whatever and   i'll scrap each kind out and compare them the 
difference is going to be pretty pretty wild   it's there's a big difference they've really found 
a way to uh use a lot less gold a lot less copper   a lot less metal so that that'd be 
good video that's a good tv to do it my last video i found three old ones too   i found an older one earlier today 
that's why am i seeing all older ones is there a reason for that hmm my last video i 
found a keg from this place this is actually in   a different city this is up where i live i found 
it about seven miles from here about ten miles   nine miles away and this place is actually 
close to where i live so i'm gonna go see   there's a new guy running the place all by himself 
that has no idea he said come back wednesday alrighty then i was talking about hoarding 
gold and stuff um i meant to say something about bitcoin i i have i have 
been hoarding computers computer circuit   boards to send into boardsort.com 
and i've scrapped so many computers   doing this that i i likely have scrapped bitcoin 
i may have skipped a million dollars worth of   bitcoin i may have script 10 million i may 
have scrapped 100 million dollars worth of uh bitcoin the hard drives of 
computers they say about four or five   maybe more million bitcoin have been lost 
forever so uh i might have up to 100 hard drives   that i was saving to uh scrap and send a 
board sort but i'm just going to save them   now that is one thing i've been hoarding 
so with bitcoin it's really secure and it's almost impossible to hack into a hard 
drive if you don't have the seed phrases   the seed wires the passcode the 
passwords it's almost impossible but but anyone out there listening you need you 
should hold on to any hard drives you have   keep them totally intact don't take the board off 
or anything save i would recommend saving your   hard drive because you know 10 15 years we might 
have quantum computers and a quantum computer   can actually can actually hack into stuff really 
quickly it would be able to find the the passwords   and stuff so you could hack into hard drives in 
10 to 20 years give or take whenever the first   quantum computers come out it can definitely be 
done so i might have millions of dollars worth of   bitcoin and i don't even know it you know i might 
i might be i might have a hundred million dollars   that i've that i've hoarded and just by 
default right just totally by accident   just because i was the one thing i was basically 
been hoarding for more than a couple years is   is computer circuit boards um this is a ice 
maker i have a refrigerator these are nice   pieces of cast aluminum that brown thing there's 
a nice hunk of aluminum about four pounds or so you could clean that up if you want i'm just gonna 
leave it at this i'll get aluminum breakers for it   i found another one of these the exact same 
thing look at it and see remember i cut the   end off that's a different different one it's 
the exact same chord i mean same type of chord   uh what else did i find in here um a couple 
more insulated copper wires i didn't talk   about this dude that's a blu-ray player actually 
seeing lots of those now that blu-rays have been   around for a while lots of them are breaking 
down and it looks like it got hot look at it   huh but that's those are nice cards right there 
i could handle finding those all day long anyways   hard drives aren't worth all that much in scraps 
so you might want to get yourself a tote or a   box in the corner of wherever you store stuff 
you might want to save onto them hard drives   because there will come a day where 
computers are advanced enough to just hack   hack through that kind of stuff passwords won't 
be anything to a quantum computer so there's that   and actually you might be able to go into the 
hard drive some people don't know how to do that there might be somewhere on the computer where 
they have the seed phrases the seed words the   they use the password for bitcoin they might 
have it stored somewhere else in the computer   right so uh that's a possibility man it's a strong 
possibility that you could hack it right now   not not even hack it that you 
might be able to find a password   you know i don't know i might be a i might have 
100 million dollars right now i don't even know it   and there might be without it without 
a doubt there's computers out there   in our in our world without a doubt there's 
computers out there where there's lost bitcoin   this i mean a lot of them are probably in the 
landfill already a lot of them have probably   been shredded up at the scrapyard mills a lot 
of them have probably been thrown into the the   smelter you know so lots of them are gone forever 
but without a doubt there's still some out there   so like if you come across a situation 
like you clean out a hoarding house or   and you know any situation you see 
where i mean if you see any computer   it's particularly the ones 
that are uh 10 years old   bitcoin came out 2009.

And this might sound stupid 
to some people you don't want to listen to it but   this i mean out there somewhere that there 
are computers that have bitcoin on them   bitcoin was invented about 11 
years ago 12 years ago so computers   that were made 13 14 15 years ago you know in 
that general area is the prime target i mean   computers today might have them too but the ones 
the ones from back in those days when bitcoin was   less than a penny and no one cared about them 
without a doubt they're out there somewhere man   without a doubt there's computers out there with 
millions and millions and millions of dollars   worth of bitcoin probably billions is when bitcoin 
keeps going up in price probably 100 probably   hundreds of billions right maybe one day there's 
a trillion you know there might be a trillion   dollars of bitcoin sitting in computers right now 
you know in the price of bitcoin in 20 years right um hmm um hmm a little brand new mobile dvd with a car headset mounting dual screens mobile dvd system what do you think 
about that i like finding new stuff   new stuff is good speaking of e-waste here we go that might be worth some money i don't know if that's got a 
board in it or not let's find out farkle i don't know if it's got a a board like a   cell phone that can send a board 
so let's find out here we go that's a stubborn little dude um that's kind of a weird looking deal i think that 
actually is gold plate but it's not as it's not as   bright as it should be it almost looks like it's 
almost looks like it's mixed with something else huh it's not a bad little board though i wonder if i wonder if there's gonna 
if that if that is mixed with something   because this definitely is not not gold 
play or gold flashing it's the wrong color um hmm uh that's the problem in summertime or when the 
weather gets warm and the winter time that plastic   would be so brittle it would just uh shatter 
right away there's two little motors in there but i'm not gonna put too much work 
into it these are nice little chairs   really comfortable actually like lobby 
sit down and wait in a lobby chair those are nice man um i don't want to just 
put stuff back outside the dumpster so   someone might want these leave a little indicator i might come back and 
snatch those up when i come back out for the   big tv see how it goes i don't really have a 
need for those but they're so nice comfortable   comfortable little dudes nothing super fantastic but 
that's not a bad little load uh this is that dumpster where i found the night 
vision goggles and the golf swing analyzer deal all those textbooks i already sold one textbook 
right away on amazon uh the golf analyzer deal and   the night vision goggles are on auction right 
now on ebay they've both sold what's a little   bit of time left on the auction but uh this is 
probably this is probably more illegal dumping   i'm just guessing it might not be but this is 
a dumpster a dumpster like this would be one   where us people can pull right up real quick it 
looks like it's a almost a vacant looking building   so dumpsters like this will get a 
lot of illegal dumping dumpsters   behind grocery stores and dumpsters 
behind churches and that kind of stuff where people clear out at certain hours you know 
middle of night no one's ever going to be there um   lots and lots and lots of illegal dumping so so so that's probably going to be scrappy i go 
to will give me clean brass for that a lot   of the scrap yards might not do that but 
i don't want to give out bad information   scrapyard to go to can call it white brass 
which most scrap yards probably will not do   but that's probably two or three pounds a 
dollar eighty so three about 360.

Minimum   minimum three dollars sixty cents on 
the breast right there the sink is uh   five cents a pound is ten shred this is another 
piece of brass it could be pushing three pounds   all together i have to take that plastic off 
there and these bolts need to come off too and copper that might be a quarter pound of 
copper versus maybe 80 90 cents technically   i found out why it's so heavy 
yeah this one's gonna be fun i'm usually wearing eye protection when i do 
stuff like this probably don't say that enough wow well never mind never you mind 
that is that is not gonna break it's plexiglas i never knew that i 
did not know that that is plexiglas   underneath there is real glass 
and that's got some good weight   to it i'd like to get that out of there 
while it's in a dumpster but uh shoot uh oh never mind i was mistaken that is not plexiglas   that that's glad that's amazingly strong 
that's i think that's almost a bulletproof like   safety glass i don't think 
plexiglas doesn't break like that that's impressive stuff that was 
probably a really expensive tv   huh what was that a plasma or something um well shoot um ugh um hmm technically i get to screen out the 
scrap yards will take it like that just as one piece so uh uh um so foreign so oh uh these are hard drives hard drive hard drive 
hard drive it's hard driving there laptop i've almost certainly i've almost certainly had 
statistically speaking the number of hard drive   the number of computers i've taken to the scrap 
yard i've almost it's almost a certainty of   scrapped bitcoin and you're talking about talk 
about life-changing wealth it's just it's just thinking about that it's almost enough 
to make you a little nauseous right if you're out there and you've 
scrapped a couple hundred   a couple thousand computers you have 
probably thrown some bitcoin away   and one day each bitcoin will most likely be 
at least a million dollars all ready phones   phones can have bitcoin phones can have bitcoin 
maybe maybe i'll stop sending my phones to board   sort right they're they're only like four 
dollars a pound or whatever so that's a good   price but if there's bitcoin on there i would 
suspect the target the target devices would be   the older you know computers made 10 years 
ago smartphones from 10 years ago back when back when bitcoin was worthless 
right no one cared about bitcoin   like 10 000 bitcoin you might like the first 
purchase was ten thousand bitcoin for two pizzas uh that person would buy almost a billionaire 
coming up here pretty soon billion with a b   trading in for two pizzas right that's 
what bitcoin is doing over the last decade they really are comfortable there was also   two little ladies basketballs 
in there that are not bad not bad at all i'm thinking 
uh i'm thinking cat cat   beds cat cat perches on this on the chairs we 
think surprisingly comfortable nice and thick anyways i hope you enjoyed the show 
and as always thanks for watching i'm just a pooch i'm just i'm just a little pooch   hi everybody hi everybody oh i 
shake your hand it's nice to see you goodbye everybody
