Garbage Day is Payday
Video Summary
AI GeneratedA scrap collector documents a day of gathering various metal items, including a water heater, breaker panel, and bicycles. The video follows the process of picking up materials from neighbors and acquaintances, loading them into a truck, and finally transporting the haul to a scrapyard for payment.
Yes, sir. Thank you. Thank you. You guys even deliver?
Amazing. Thank you very much. I got it
from here. Good morning.
I got a call to come pick up a water heater
and a breaker panel. I'm wondering
if the breaker panel has
a bunch of goodies in it.
A big old hunk of aluminum wire. Yeah, you can
tell that's old.
I don't think they're allowed
to use aluminum wire
for house anymore. Do you
want to give me a hand real quick?
Thank you. I appreciate the help.
All right, I got to hurry up. There's a pedestrian walking.
I don't want to impede. Not a bit.
Let's take
a ride up.
I don't want it
in the corner,
just so there's
no chance
of it getting
underway
on me.
Tied up.
If I can
lasso
this,
nice.
But it
still
worked.
Move
hitch.
That's
what they used to use tying up horses outside
the saloon in all those old western movies.
Dreadnought. Yes, please.
Does it have wheels on it? It does.
It surely does.
Get one
of those
wagon smacks.
Oh yeah, that's the safety device.
Trainer
8.0.
Probably gonna spin
this around.
Maybe not.
It's a bit heavy.
What a, yeah, I wanna spin it around.
See those forks?
I want it to be like a forklift.
Boom,
I'm gonna park
right there.
Ah, Rufus,
cooperating.
Didn't
say a
two-cent
should I.
I guess
that's it,
all right.
It was cool, I saw that Okie Scrapper.
Uploaded a video. He hasn't uploaded in a while.
Put the cord before
the treadmill up.
Yeah, good old Okie Scrapper.
Yeah, he has a great channel.
Has? Had? I'm not sure if he's still going to do YouTube videos.
But it's been like, it's been a while since he's uploaded.
Yeah, you, um, that's not quite right.
If I can get this piece over there a little further.
Nice.
Think that'll work?
Yeah, a little bit more. Can I, can I go a little more?
Giving it
the...
Giving it
the business.
Finger back. No
turkey carcasses.
No, we're good.
We're good good.
There's no grip.
You don't have
any grip, Paul.
Seriously. I need
to use the tail,
that's why.
I don't
need any
grip.
I grab
the tail.
That song,
they're
constantly
in my head.
So I was trying to edit the other day,
and it was taking so long to edit. And so while...
I did it.
I started practicing this classical song, Canon in D.
And that is a fun, fun song to play bass along with.
Thank you.
Yeah,
there's something,
two something
somethings.
These are pinch-o-matics, aren't they?
Hopefully not too bad.
I think it's going
to be hoodie weather
right quick.
I don't want to wear a hoodie, though.
I just got
whistled.
Yes, sir.
Thank you, thank you.
I got a dolly.
You guys even deliver?
Amazing. Thank you. Thank you.
That's what I'm talking about
what to do with
this stuff.
I got it
from here.
Thanks again.
You're welcome. No problem.
Appreciate you.
Car please.
Yes, sir.
There we are.
Two?
Cool.
Thank you very much.
You're welcome, sir. You're welcome.
Yep.
Yeah, give me a call if you got some scrap.
Okay.
Yeah.
Let's take care
of this.
Straightening up to do.
I don't
want to
straighten
up later.
We'll let the snap tool do the work.
A little bit of metal.
That's thick too.
Nice. Metal makes
me happy. Beefy
stuff right there.
Now someone's already saying, Paul,
you need to straighten up your truck.
Not my job. That's why I got the Scrap Snap app. Snap this into place.
A lot of time being up the truck. Nobody got time for that.
Da-da-da!
Hey hey hey.
Thanks, Snap Tool. Hello. Thanks for putting the scrap out here.
You're throwing that away too? Yes, please.
Thank you. Thank you. Yeah, I appreciate it.
All right. Wonderful. No, I got it. I got the lift
gate. So it does all the picking up.
Thanks for putting it out there. No, no, I've got the lift
gate. Yeah, yeah.
It does all the work
for me. Yeah, it's
a back saver for sure.
What's happening
here? Maybe nothing. Yeah, yeah. And that's what
I'm just running around scooping stuff up. Yeah.
He pulled out a curtain on my co-chair and like...
Two weeks ago, she was gone in two hours.
Yeah, yeah.
No, we're actually scouring the neighbors looking for this stuff.
She has a good bike, but she doesn't run it, so it's a good thing.
Yeah, and it's, you know, it's,
it's seen its life, you know, it's, uh...
It's been a bike for a while,
now it's going to get recycled and turn into something else.
She tried a garage sale.
Yeah, I mean, if you tried, you tried.
You did your due diligence.
Thanks again.
Uh-oh.
Yeah, yeah.
Here inside.
Yeah.
And, I mean, it's better, you know, clear
it out while the scrap man's here.
Yes, yes.
Thank you.
You sure you don't want that?
Nice.
Oh, because it's broken and then you...
Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah.
Yeah.
Yeah, the welds are breaking.
Yeah.
Yeah.
And we used the last time for one garage
sale and we put too much stuff and...
Yeah.
Yeah.
Okay.
Yeah.
All right.
Wonderful.
Thank you.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
It'll absorb the color.
Yeah, is that what you call it?
No, I've not colored this before.
But, yeah, maybe that's next.
What's next?
I ditch it, Robin.
Did you?
Are you taking any photos?
It will.
Yeah, my beard hair is actually clear.
So it'll absorb any color.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Okay.
Yeah, I got to get this apart.
Here we go.
Oh, you're, like,
stuck, dude.
Hmm. I'm gonna
break it.
It almost
got me. I'm
gonna break
it again.
Hold it up.
That. Stay?
Yeah.
Another bicycle?
Yes please. Yeah.
Gonna have a friend.
A friend to sit next to.
It has been so beautiful out for the last five
or six days and today it's supposed to rain.
Rain.
Well they said it's supposed to rain a little bit. Let's see.
My guess is that it's not going to rain.
It's going to bypass us.
Let's see.
That might not work.
Yeah, I'm going to have to go up and over.
Someone is saying, hey,
how come you're always hitting the wrong buttons?
There's a little code there.
I mean, it's a simple code,
but you have to press it in a certain way for you to get this to work.
It's to keep people, like kids,
from messing with it because they're not going to know.
They would have to trip across the code.
What do you think of the bicycle right there?
I think so. That works.
We're getting
a decent load.
I'm surprised
because just
a little bit ago
the truck
was empty.
Two
pieces
of scrap.
Why yes,
I got
a place
for you.
Yeah.
What's
up kid?
Are you doing a junk removal
in five minutes? Okay.
You got a haircut? Okay. I think. No.
The last one was right there.
Did you? Okay. So Sycamore has...
scrap huh but they they start super super early
so it's probably all gone by now no
I did get that word from the computer, which my buddy Rich...
you mean that big computer oh
okay ten dollars is ten dollars
um hey before we put the sides
on your truck yeah make sure that the the back's cleaned out just
so we can stand in the back yes
Yeah. Yep.
I'm wondering how my shop looks
Complete denial that this seven-day stretch
of just absolutely beautiful, sunny weather,
no wind, 70 degrees outside.
So I'm going to get rid of that aluminum stuff.
Hey, hey, what's happening?
How are you?
I've seen you in a bit.
It's the sun, right?
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Yeah, he's out doing the same thing I'm doing.
All right, it was good talking to you.
What
is
this?
Wait
a minute.
That looks good, dude.
Is there, like, weights that go along with that?
Man, Jesse's been busy.
What's that attached to?
Where's
the weight part?
Okay, so the weights go on that.
Oh, no way.
I wanna keep it.
Jesse, I wanna keep it.
Okay, so you put some free weights on that
and you can do the push downs
and the, yeah.
Yes, that is keep life right there.
That's probably the only thing that,
so I do a lot of working out at my house
and you know, I do the,
The flies with my dumbbells.
I do body weight squats.
I usually do like three or four sets of 15 body weight squats.
And then I use the 15 or the 25 pound dumbbells.
Just to, because, you know, I'm on that no testosterone medication
because of this stupid cancer.
I don't know if I can answer.
So I have to do that to keep what they call sarcopenia from happening,
which is muscle wasting.
Because that will happen.
So.
Trying to keep that from happening.
So I have been doing resistance training.
So I'm like thoroughly
excited about this.
It looks like it works.
There's nothing wrong with this.
It looks fairly new.
It's not even dusty.
It's not even a clothes rack.
All right, I need to text him
that they do not scrap that workout machine thing.
He has been busy.
He's done a whole bunch of copper
doing the fire stripping.
He just gets into the micro scrapping a lot.
So yeah, he makes his stuff all day.
That's Bearbrite. It's the highest, highest price.
Is that six bucks a pound now?
Something like that. The battery's fully charged.
All right, now I'll leave it here.
So I had to put a new blade on this.
The other one broke,
so that's why I have to wear the face shield
because these break sometimes and just the
The amount of kinetic energy is enormous with a spinning slicing wheel.
Yeah, I'd rather use a sawzall just because they're less dangerous.
But sometimes you have to use the angle grinder.
I still have my setup here.
So I don't know where the tool is.
So to unlock this I had to put these in here.
Uh yeah, so Jess is not the only one
that just leaves tools laying around.
Put it down.
I think it's time
to go hit the scrapyard.
That's a nice load of scrap.
Truck weighs about 6,500 pounds,
maybe a little bit less when it's empty.
And I'm gonna weigh here
and if it's above 7,400,
which it might be, that's 100 bucks.
What
do you think?
7,400 plus?
Nope, 7,260.
I'm low on fuel, so it might,
I don't think I'll be as low as 6,200,
but oh there's the scrap beast.
A&A scrapping.
There's a lift gate on the back.
All right, so I'm going to go down to the next tier.
That's one thing coming here,
is that you see all the great scrap trucks.
Seriously, look at these scrap trucks.
Seriously, look at those racks.
Those are amazing.
We're full.
No, I can fit right here.
Yes, yes, yes, I can.
So one, two, three, four, I'm five.
So yeah, there's like nine trucks,
like scrap heaven.
I just need some room here,
because this is going to pile up right here.
You know what I mean?
Team.
I think
we're
good
now.
I'm going to untie first.
All the years that she's been gunning for me.
What if she hits this time?
What if she makes her more?
Now I see I was trying.
It catches up with me.
Yeah.
This guy is giving me a hard time.
Definitely.
Let's go get paid.
Look at those racks.
Nice.
No
down.
There's no chance that I'm 6,200 pounds weighing out.
We'll see how close.
Maybe 6460.
6-4-4-0.
Hi,
good
morning.
Yeah, just steel.
Yeah.
Thank
you
very
much.
I'll see you later.
Bye.
Thank you, God.
Thank you for today.
Thank you for energy.
And thank you for fun.
I know that we're all on this earth for a short period of time, God.
Just let me recognize that.
I'm going to do the best that I can while I'm here.
And even with the static on the speaker,
I'm going to praise you, God.
In the name of Jesus, thank you.
I'm not sure if that
Done yet.
But yeah, so 840 pounds, $84.
Yeah, 10 cents a pound.
That was a bit of a workout.
That treadmill did not want to come off the truck.
I was trying to move it.
There was some scrap that was underneath.
So here's the treadmill.
There was some scrap underneath it that was like tilted
and grabbing into the plastic bed liner.
And I couldn't quite see where it was.
But yeah, it totally was.
Yeah thanks for hanging out with me.
I think I better put my hat back on. Disguise my hairdo.
Look at this guy's scrap. He's scrapping with a Tacoma.
Thou shalt not covet thy neighbor's scrap.
