    @catherinemichel6673 5 лет назад

    It's absolutely amazing to me, the number of people who think they know what SV (VV) should do to make more money! He's been doing what he does, the way he does it, for 12 freaking years! What he does works best FOR HIM! I think he's got it down to the absolute best way to do things HIS WAY! He's explained this and what he does with what he finds countless times....even in this video! Once in a great while, he finds something out like in one of his videos about scrapping computer circuit boards and phones, which he didn't know before, but for the most part HE KNOWS WHAT HE'S DOING! Bigger vehicles wouldn't work for him for reasons he's gone into dozens of times! Same for a trailer.
    Give it a rest folks! Just watch and learn from a hard working, honest, caring man who cares about others and nature.

  • @wolfcry8968
    @wolfcry8968 6 лет назад

    Pretty good quick haul. A guy at Best Buy asked me what I was doing in the dumpster once and I just told him I was digging out the recyclables. He was cool with it. Most people don't care unless they are business owners because of safety concerns.

  • @thomasgenzer
    @thomasgenzer 6 лет назад +3

    My local Spectrum/TWC store does the same in store with customer returns. Everything including cables, remotes and power bricks that is brought back in, is dumped except for the actual cable boxes and modems which are sent by the store to who knows where, to theoretically be recycled. (oddly they do include a prepaid label for you to mail it to them yourself, so what I find is only a fraction of the total ) I can go every day and get 2-4 bags, or up to a car trunk full after a Saturday when people actually have time to go to the store. it is rare but sometimes I do find a TV box/modem or 3.(probably broken, dirty or blacklisted) my only problem is a lot of what I end up with is piles of coax that my yard only buys as shred.

    • @whisperingwind2
      @whisperingwind2 6 лет назад

      Thomas Genzer the boxes go back to wherever the local charter processing area is (often they have it in the same building as their warehouse). They have a multi million dollar machine that tests the boxes and then they clean and wrap up the good ones and put them in totes for the technicians to use. I remember in training they told me to tell customers not to bother sending coax, power supplies, ethernets, remotes back, they just get junked anyway.

    • @thomasgenzer
      @thomasgenzer 6 лет назад

      verry wasteful. they could just tell you to keep it. with the amount I find it would seem like they make you bring it in and then dump it without a care.
      The amount of HDMI cables I have picked out and neatly wrapped with twist ties with the intention to sell, would equate to more than a best buy store has in stock at any given time. lol

    Yeah look for cable contractor dumpsters, I found a contractor that does direct tv and get loads of stuff every week. Mostly new wires and remotes but also boxes of brackets connectors screws the stuff they dont use . It's a great place for consistant wire every week so I'm looking into finding similar places

    The hr44s are genies, usually a 1Tb hard drive inside. The LNBs CAN be broken down into clean aluminum, with some work. Usually need a t8 torx and/or small Phillips driver. Directv throws away SO MUCH its ridiculous. I used to subcontract and had all the guys I could drop their waste like that for me. The rg6 (coax) that they use is solid copper core, fyi.

    That sort of reminds me of the Spectrum store I used to rummage through. Unfortunately most of it was coax but I would fill up at least a tote every time I went. Most of the time I'd get people who didn't care. Every so often though I'd be "warned" not to scavenge when the boss was around.
