    Yo Scrappenger, I have bad legs, I have a hard time getting up out of bed every morning. But lately after watching your videos, I always tell myself, gotta be strong, and somehow I manage to stand up every time.

      If you know how much a single bay of that shelving costs, even used, you'd know that he had the find of the night right there. Look up gorilla shelves, and I think those were the 8 foot tall corner posts... so around $150...
      What is truly priceless is that he can find these things day after day....I think I've seen him pull out at least two dozen pool pumps. He has a good route. That only comes with time spent doing something.
      I'd say that with his standards (not taking what isn't in the dumpsters, leaving the area cleaner than when he came, no metal studs, etc), proficiency, and experience, he's a true (bonafide) professional dumpster diver.

    Straighten out the box. Unravel a cpl inches. Attach the wire to vice or screw on a table or whatever. Squeeze it together and pull tight a few times and wire comes right out. Even pcs up to and more the ten ft. Find your rythm and blow right through it. Works for aluminum or steel.

    All the aluminum is lite weight. But its scrap and worth money. You don’t really need to take the boxes home, fill them up in the dumpster, then dump it in the truck, then throw the box back in the dumpster. Easy peasy, lemon squeezy. Lol
    Best view is usually an arial view from above. Surprise, look what you found. Good stuff. 🤣
