Dumpster Diving Street Scrapping - Surprising Scrap Scores!

What a day dumpster diving! Digging through the snow for scrap metal is always a challenge and today was no different, but despite not finding much for heavy steel we actually put together a really great day! Sometimes it's the weight, and sometimes it's the nonferrous!

Want to give a big shoutout to all of the electricians who put all of their scraps neat and tidy in a box or contractors bag, your consideration does not go unnoticed 👍

I always take the metal wrapped hoses on shower attachments. Half of the time the wrapping is steel, the other half it's thin brass.

You're my absolute favorite scrapper to watch. I've enjoyed every video that you have made. You do one fabulous job at teaching too. ❤

I’m electrical contractor in Saskatchewan. Most likely that chunk of cable with the aluminum in it was probably for a hot tub they were wiring. You can use copper or aluminum. It’s called tech cable and used where it needs protection from damage. Going from house outside to a hot tub.

The aluminum wire is the power supply line from the service provider, they don't use copper as much anymore.

I LOVE TO STRIPING ROMAX WIRE WHEN YOU CAN'T GET OUT ON A COLD /RAINY KINDA DAY. OR JUST ANY DAY

[SenorAnderson]

That bigger 3-conductor cable is usually for the main house service connection aka the "feeder". Usually anything that draws bigger than 60 amps is gonna be aluminum cuz of cost and weight, though in residential ya can't use aluminum wiring except in the service feeder. The armored+pvc wrapped stuff is called "TECK-90" or just "teck" cable. And yup, rated for outdoors, buried, and water exposure.

Happy treasure hunting, Thub! And stay warm!

The stare that contractors give trash pandas....honestly, just trying to make a living like everone else.

[PhilipRichards-wu]

Thankyou for recycling..Yes i see what you see.

Neoprene thub. I find it often diving commercial renovation dumpsters. Copper wire alternative I believe.

[magalhaes]

Strip all that can be stripped including those around ones. Not as hard as you think, I do it myself in Winnipeg in the winter.

My friend used to dumpster dive for a living, but he lost a leg in an accident so now he works at IHOP

[Warpcaller]

Great job as always, keep up the great work.

[CoachDomCosta]

And I thought I was cold this morning in Los Angeles, where it was 47°F! You are a true Baller!

[vinnienowhere]

There’s a level of excitement that you get when you hit the motherload of wire! Strip the 12guage romex.
