    Awesome score, nice dumpster:) I would not worry too much regards should have done this and that - it is you that is up to your eyeballs in a dumpster whilst we sit and watch the video in the comfort of our homes! Do whatever you think is required, you are normally pretty methodical regards emptying them. It must be exhausting to empty the stuff out so you won't always be thinking 100% in the moment, being careful is more important - a server rack landing on your knee etc is not going to be funny. Thanks for the vid, amazing amounts of wire!

    Awesome work again, so glad you managed to get there before anyone else. It is easy after the event, or looking on from the side to suggest all sorts of ways and approaches, but at the time, focused on the job in hand and trying to balance everything it is not always possible. You did brilliant, hope you manage to sell lots as is rather than scrap it all out. Cannot wait for the next installment.

    • @intotheunknown7224
      @intotheunknown7224  3 года назад +1

      I usually have a one-track mind when I am on-site. I have to remind myself to assess things sometimes. In almost every video I make, I see something I could have done different, but like you said, balancing everything as it happens is not always possible.
      Thanks for the comment!

  • @trentaklers3367
    @trentaklers3367 3 года назад +5

    You should consider grabbing some of the 2x4 when you get everything else out. It's almost worth as much as the wire right now

    • @intotheunknown7224
      @intotheunknown7224  3 года назад +1

      I keep looking it up on Craigslist and FB here. Full length 2x4's don't sell for that much on private listings. It is a fortune in the store, but not nearly as much otherwise.

    Does the scrapyard take the cat wire on the spool or do you have to take it all off first?

    • @intotheunknown7224
      @intotheunknown7224  3 года назад +2

      I have to take it off. They will give me a lesser grade and price if there is extra weight with the wire.

    • @intotheunknown7224
      @intotheunknown7224  3 года назад +1

      It is easier to just toss it than try to sell it off. Many companies and employees operate this way unfortunately. Sometimes if an employee knows what the stuff is worth, they will take it. I guess no-one here did.

    • @intotheunknown7224
      @intotheunknown7224  3 года назад

      Here in the U.S. the courts have ruled that trash in a dumpster, or on a curb, is public domain when it is trash, unless local laws say otherwise (but even that can be challenged). However, the businesses can say that I am trespassing, and you can get in trouble for that if you do not leave. I have not had that issue yet. Everyone so far has been OK with me collecting scrap.

      @intotheunknown7224  3 года назад +1

      I generally go looking for scrap, but if I see a resell-able item, I will try and sell it first (depending on what it is). So I actually do both. Lately I have been collecting more scrap to recycle since dumpsters like these are not around currently (where I am looking)

Luckily I have never experienced that. Now, whether or not I legally have to put it back is another question (due to legal laws on the books), but I definitely could be told to leave. The trespassing is where they got ya!
