You have a sickness, a sickness I share. My spouse helps keep the symptoms in check. Watching your videos makes me happy at least one is out there living the dream.
If you can't use the hardware, and tools, if there is a local Habitat store, they would be happy to take it, and get it to someone who can use it. It's truly sickening what gets thrown out by the corporate world without even trying to find someone who wants it. Do let us know about the functionality of some of the tools, and electronics. Keep up the good work.
With a hardware RAID card, SAS hard drives are used in professional computer servers. SAS stands for “serial attached SCSI.” SCSI SCSI was the former parallel technology that SAS replaced.
Yeah those drives would have been nice 10 years ago. Today I would not want to take anything less than several tb. I want to find a build a NAS that will work with plex. Low energy consumption and around 100 plus tb of space.
That's like hundreds of dollars in new hardware and stuff. Those anchor bolts are huge. I can't imagine throwing away brand new boxes of nail gun nails and screws.
@@timberinternational2377 i work in construction and i can say that dumpster had thousands not hundreds of stuff. i cant imagine why anyone would throw half that stuff out
Random family hearing noises from their dump "hey i hear something outside" "Do not worry they are racoons" "can you check it?" "hmmmm (witcher style)" going outside and finding out it is Gabe "hi and thank you for sponsoring saveitforparts channel"
Oooh... I can use SAS drives. I have enclosures to hook up hundreds of them. 24 or 36 300GB drives in a ZFS RAID would be useful for intermittent storage, like a cache for data recovery or IPFS, etc. I can't believe you found an unlocked bin of drives!
@@wigreeves4097 Yes and they cost a lot of money too. I was tasked with sealing holes that we cut for plumbing. My golly they complained when I used up a lot of them. With the hole gaps it was hard to fill them up. I used UL listed mesh for drywall. I could tap the holes and then press in a large amount of the caulk and then come back later and coat it with a thick layer on top and that worked out quite well.
Tiny town I live in would not have much of anything to take if a bin even exist here. No industry to salvage from. When here in high school, I found a small dump in the back of the property and there was a heavy tele-type transformer. Had several outlets in AC and DC. Put a cord on it and worked fine but so heavy to carry 8 blocks. This was before I was 16 and driving. Good thing I dont live near bins with stuff like that in it. I would need a new building just to store things. I would be gathering up most of what I saw in video. Great find.
2:49 so apart from being a sas drive and super small capacity by todays standards those are 15k rpm drives. Those things throw out so much damn heat you can roast weenies on them.
I wish I'd known about you when I was living in the USA and MN. I would have nagged you into helping me with my automated dumpster telescope dream........ Your skills and videos are awesome. Thank you.
Cut and gut (remove risers / spacers) from the plastic tool cases, remove magnets from the drives, epoxy magnets to the back of the plastic tool cases. now have a ready box that will stick onto metal surfaces. Can be used for tools while in dumpster by adding straps so the lid or base only opened 1/2 way, picking up lots of small metal parts. I have two that I have painted "Urban Camo" with little solar cells and batteries from various things for a Wi-Fi extender and a weather station / remote camera (I am out in the woods) Built a laptop into one (parts from a few busted laptops ) a small lead acid battery (emergency lighting) a solar panel from who knows what.. now have a rugged laptop with a heck of a range (found antennas) that cost little to nothing ... but time.
Hi and welcome to the save it for parts and pet channel.... I think you should mention Spay and neuter, microchip like Bob Barker did. Six saves here, love Fluffy and Donnie!
FWIW: A couple of years ago at the local dump I saw a guy disposing of two objects into the 'scrap metal object' bin {or whatever it was called}. I did not realize what they were until he actually threw them in: They were two metal ammo boxes, which looked to be in good shape. I mentioned it to the attendant -- I thought it was a waste for them to be thrown out like that -- and the attendant actually grabbed them both and gave them to me. I took them both home, both were in very good condition. Why the gentleman discarding them did not donate them to the local thrift store, I have no idea.
Ha! I definitely have more dumpster footage saved up since I did this video. Not sure it's interesting enough for every 3 months, usually I just find boring trash.
Really looking forward to see how much of that construction site hardware works. What was that, a government contract build site or government contractor dumpster?
The best thing I ever found in a dumpster was an old CRT tv in bad condition, and you can just find an entire Macintosh, and enough tools to build a house in a couple days? :_)
Being wasteful is good for the economy - money printer go brrrrr. It's just not good for the consumer, because we're the ones that end up paying for all that waste in higher prices of everything.
When I see this I cringe at the waste in academia. I was asked to throw away computers and other things such as microscopes into the dumpsters. Instead I refurbed these computers, and kept the microscope. I gave the computers free of charge to seniors.
I used to make a very good living dumpster diving believe it or not. The most I ever made in one day was $30,000 cash I lived near Torrance California where the old Magnavox company and one of the things is they used to do military equipment and one of their trash cans was full of military grade 500 to 1000 pin connectors aircraft grade move to Travelers and that's the most important thing if there's no traveler with it it's worthless but each one had a traveler with it so when where it was made who was sold to originally all all the really important things well there was a total dumpster just full of these things and they're worth on the average hundred bucks a piece to five to a thousand depending on what it is it was the easiest money ever made. But I have had some even better stuff like a company that went out of business and I was able to get most of their scrap and they threw out free 1977 gold pins heavy gold pens I made a lot of money I'm not saying how much but a lot of money. And one of the things I used to do is most of my junk I sell that the TRW SW swap meet in Redondo Beach California or a couple other electronic swap meets just to get rid of the junk and I used to fill a truck up full of stuff and just sell it cheaply and come home with 5,000 bucks on on a Saturday it was great. But what I would love to find is a warehouse full of Pentium one computers and Pentium Pro computers pree 2005 because the processors are Pentium lens and depending on Pros are worth about 50 to $75 a piece just for the gold content I used to take those types of computers and just part of my people that I paid and was part of them out crush the metal and that sell the metal for 12 cents a pound and a person that would take aluminum sloppy drives out is 5-in drives and cleaning all the metal off them and I could get about a dollar a pound for clean aluminum from 5-in drives and also old car drives that were taken apart and just the aluminum
So far the streets have given me: 2 cats(Bob&Marley), big nice grill, swimming pool, trampoline, garden equipment, multiple tents, ladder, tropical plants, paintings, vases, unending supply of palet wood, furniture, etc, etc...
look for rolloff containers outside of commercial buildings, strip malls, and offices. commercial construction gets pretty wasteful, and it's not always drills and unopened 30lb boxes of screws, but it's always worth a peek.
Wow SCSI Small Computer System Interface also pronounce Scuzzy actually they are really High performance and reliable Hard Drives try finding a 15,000 RPM Sata drive best you can get is half the speed...they are used in enterprise / industrial grade systems to this day where performance and reliability is key. Anyway great video !!
Nice lumber & tile. I build a lot out of salvaged construction materials. Always like having done so. Otherwise, nice haul for sure. Even if the power tools are not up to snuff the motors likely can be salvaged and used in antenna rotators, large scratch built clocks, & etc. You certainly have some valuable junk in your big city dumpsters. Here in the Catskill moutains all we find is stuff that decomposes & smells worse than a skunk unless you call bald tires a good find.
Oddly satisfying in finding something someone has thrown out and fixing or repurposing it . Good finds . It can get to be a bit of an addiction be carful .
idk I really wonder if some of that construction material is ripped off. In any case there's a good business niche for construction / building salvage. Also I can not pass up a HDD or floppy without imagining all the bitcoin stored there.

It has been about 15 years since I was able to do this, but most corporations and schools have to pay, for electronic disposal. So I made offers to do it for free, I got thousands of computers, monitors, e-bords and other cool junk, The tru....err junk is out there.
Not really a gold mine, they were between 300-600GB. By today's standards their power hungry, loud, run really hot and small capacity... I mean I'd take them anyway because I'd be curious if they work or have anything on them!

Save the floppies!
Sadly, I’d bet that construction dumpster stuff happens all the time. New owners take over and the place just needs to be cleaned up.
Very interesting stuff you've found, I'd be interested to know what still works and what can be repaired. My motto is to repair, not to throw away.
Cut and gut (remove risers / spacers) from the plastic tool cases, remove magnets from the drives, epoxy magnets to the back of the plastic tool cases. now have a ready box that will stick onto metal surfaces.

This is my idea of a good time. 😊
Those contractors threw away a lot of money in screws.
Hard, the value of those large bolts ! !! 😲
Those scsi drives have some rare earth magnets in them...I think.
Who would throw away a perfectly good racoon?
your trash find is better than most of the things i find in stores near me...
Watch out for needles 😮
:53 trunk system. Maybe a small station shut down?
We need to know if any of the junk tools still work. How will we sleep tonight.
Yay 🎉 - you should make a dumpster diving series (like a video every 3 months).
Ha! I definitely have more dumpster footage saved up since I did this video. Not sure it's interesting enough for every 3 months, usually I just find boring trash.
Wow, you're brave to dumpster-dive. In my State it's both trespassing and theft.

@@saveitforparts Well still, think of the Copper :D
I just built a new workbench and could have used the 2X4's and screws and bolts.
Jeeze, Where you live, I can come help haul for extras!
do you resell this stuff? you could make some decent money reselling much of this on facebook and ebay
The reason alot of that construction stuff was in the dumpster, is because its a pain in the ass to sell. That or its just broken/worn out.
I had an old dewalt drill like those where the motor was toast, not super repairable. Maybe the chuck or body is useful?
You can buy new motors for them.
Sadly I can't (or at least shouldn't) do this, because it's considered theft in Germany.
Sad! And here I thought Europe was more advanced than us 😉
Vids like these showcase how wasteful our society is... Luckily, you come around to save some good stuff from the landfill.
Being wasteful is good for the economy - money printer go brrrrr. It's just not good for the consumer, because we're the ones that end up paying for all that waste in higher prices of everything.

Hey, if you find any more SAS drives at 300-500GB, let me know. I have two DL360 servers with SAS bays that could eat them.....
SAS drives go into servers and tend to be really fast for spinning rust. That's a gold mine right there if you can find a NAS to slap them into.
Not really a gold mine, they were between 300-600GB. By today's standards their power hungry, loud, run really hot and small capacity... I mean I'd take them anyway because I'd be curious if they work or have anything on them!
Every time I check dumpsters and skips, it's all rubble or stuff that makes you go 🤢🤮
