BUSTED Dumpster Diving on Black Friday 

The employee that stole that was probably pissed when you went back to get it and it wasn't there anymore.

Imagine coming out for a smoke break and seeing the craigslist hunter in the trash can😂

This is the short version: We used to 'dumpster dive' too! The long version is next: I lived in a very remote place without ANY stores (in the early 1960s) except only a small grocery store with minimal supplies. We didn't have garbage pickup in our tiny town so we all drove out to 'the dump' for entertainment about every 3-4 weeks. Kids would watch the wildlife and Dad would go 'shopping'. My Dad was one of those who could fix absolutely everything. If a part was needed, he would make one if it couldn't be bought. A lot of people did not know how to fix things and dumped them when still relatively new. We got our bicycles that way - he would fix them and repaint with another color, all kinds of extra appliances, lawn mowers, and whatever, that he would give to seniors or anyone in need because he just liked to fix things. What we all had looked new though since he also knew how to spray paint things to give them new life. We were an early reuse, recycle, repurpose, gardening, composting family. My Mom had a large vegetable garden, preserved, canned, froze, and dehydrated our food that she then cooked from scratch. She had fruit trees and berry bushes and we foraged for other berries, mushrooms, and caught fresh fish and crab. The TV in a cabinet that we brought from the city sat there covered with a cloth and houseplants because there wouldn't be a signal here for a few more years. Those were the days where we had conversations at the dinner table and read books. Then we actually got 1 channel of sound but with 'snow' until at least midnight when the programming stopped for the day. To this day I still cannot waste things, especially food. I shudder when I see people dump out food from serving platters or cooking pots instead of transferring those bits to a small container. That's another meal for me to enjoy. Some people really do not understand why they are unhealthy, allergic to everything, stressed out, and broke from buying crap they don't need.

Peter, you're the only person who can keep me watching a video where someone is dumpster diving.

Employees throw alot of that stuff out and get it later.

Why not check them tomorrow? Seems like they will be full of damaged box items!

My daughter is teaching music to the children in our local school district: children from ages kindergarten on up. So I think it's a real shame that those musical instruments were thrown out rather than donated to a school that could have used them.

LOL “Hey! You aren’t supposed to dump in here!” “I’m not, I’m dumpster diving” “Oh, ok.”

A fellow I knew a few years ago found 6 dead bodies in dumpsters over a 3 day span. He no longer dumpster dives.

When I was younger a shoe store up the street went out of business so my brother a few friends and I went up on our bikes. We found a bunch of nikes & socks, took all that we could ride home with lol

That nightmare before christmas vhs would be cool to have as a dust collector piece

Love this , years ago my husband found our first two vcr's in dumpsters new in boxes!👍🏼

So much of this stuff could be donated to shelters or 2nd hand stores, why are they tossing them? The waste in this country is a sad sight to see.

Some employees throw things away only to come back later to retrieve it.

I'm getting nervous just watching. As if I am the one getting caught. Living vicariously through you sir.

You should definitely wear gloves my friend, I worked at goodwill and bed bath beyond ETC.. And the bathroom garbage usually ends up in recycle (watch out for used needles) anyways love your videos, I've started to hunt and resell myself

I'm so glad you rescued that violin. Get a lock pick set or lock picking gun. locked dumpsters are locked for a reason. There's probably some good shit inside. God forbid greedy fucking corporations donate anything to the needy.

Those Guitar Hero "Les Paul" Dongle/Recievers (ones shaped like a guitar pick and say les paul on back) are an easy $30 on eBay without the guitars. Should've picked it up.

One time I found a Go Cart in the trash best day ever all it needed was a new chain. Lol

Once I found a box, with 12 shoeboxes inside with brand new Nikes...I'm sure a employee left it there to pick up later. Sold them on Craigslist for $75.00 a pair, half price off the tags on them. BIG score....

Aww! I love the turtle 🐢

that guitar hero usb connector is called a dongle they sell for 15 bux all day

Thanks! I appreciate you showing how you do things..your a blessing

11:18 "The cost of secession" *throws it away* imagine if the producer was watching

You passed on a lot of items worth more than that turtle, you have a lot of things to learn.

Most places destroy their merchandise before discarding it. I have no problem at all with 'stealing' from these greedy corporations.

I love watching this channel bc it's nothing but dumpster diving I love watching dumpster diving bc it's so cool to see what people find in the dumpsters

Used to do a lot of this, kept me going for a while when I needed it!

name your turtle dumpy cause he came from the dumpster

I wonder if some of these things employees aren't tossing and hoping to go back and get them later? Epic find on the tortoise!!!

If you have a resale shop, you just through $100.00 away, literally, you tossed them aside.

"We have a turtle!" 😂

I remember years ago I would take my dog on a walk across the street into a business center. I would always peek into the dumpsters. My little dog couldn't figure out what I was doing... not interested. One day I looked in one of the dumpsters and there were plates of BBQ briquette and sausage. I guess they must had a party and had food left over which they threw out. I picked out some of the food and gave it to my dog. He ate and ate until he was full as a tick! After then everything we would go into that business park he would head for the dumpsters. I think I did find some BBQ chicken but that was about all. It didn't take long for my little dogie to catch on to the dumpster run ! You never know one person's trash is another person's treasure.

plastic hangers would have been a good sale at flea markets. bunch em up I n groups of 5 or 10 and sell for 1-2 dollars each

I live in a Richy neighbor and it baffles me the things rich people throw out. My neighbors think I'm crazy for taking their trash but I see $$$ when I see metal. One night a friend and I made $500 each from some gutters my neighbor through out. We thought they were aluminum but turned out to be copper.

I've been binge watching your videos and your really growing on me 😀

I definitely would have pulled out that pallet jack. Yes, they are heavy. 100+ pounds. Still worth it. Thought I saw part of one sticking out in the second dumpster too.

That's crazy to think of how many retailers just throw away things because of just minor damage...I would have never thought of diving in the dumpster to find new or almost brand new items.

I remember about ten years ago HD was throwing out tons of faucet displays, light fixtures and shower fixtures. Right into the compactor it went!

My heart was breaking when he was throwing all those vhs and records and cassettes around tbh

Should have picked up those wireless guitar dongles (recievers) and guitars. I sell them on FBA and they sell very quickly. I saw 2 dongles you passed up on that would have made you $40-50. They wireless guitar was PS3/xbox and those sell for at least 30. The Kramer ones even sell for 15ish

The fact that you put back the dongles and leapster cartridges back in the dumpster gave me serious anxiety lmfao

My son came home one day and borrowed my truck, when I got home the basement was filled with Marshall amps and bottoms that he found in the dumpster. Every speaker cabinet had a kicked in speaker and the amps had smashed tubes. A few day of swapping speakers and tubes and he had 3 heads and 2 speaker bottoms working like brand new. Not bad for an hour of dumpster diving.

Used to do this with my grandfather and we used to stop at a local dump in the middle of nowhere...what treasures we used to find!

he takes mini mouse over the games and the wii guitars hahahahahhahaha

why don't you carry a pole with a hook or something to help grab items quick and easy?

Enjoying watching this from Florida!

That was awesome what you did there. She said this and and you just was straight forward with her and you both went on your way

The usb dongles for guitar hero/rockband are worth 15 to 20 bucks

In which Ghost town was this black-Friday happening?

WoW ... That was a cool turtle....had a realistic look to him too. Great find man !

The key to diving is to pull up, toss everything in your truck and take off... You go over it at home or the shop, not at the dumpster !!! Toss what you don't want, beats getting caught. Your welcome.

Wait Walmart locks their garbage up? LOL their stuff is garbage to begin with LOL!

I thought for SURE I was gonna see Rosco P. Coltrane cuff'n and stuff'n Pete! Good finds.

I like that you stay focus and don't pick up small stuff.

loved the tortoise sculpture. maybe i will start dumpster diving

did you find any gloves in there that's what you really need.

You're lucky she was nice about it. I've never been caught at anywhere I've dived at BUT Half price. Got caught TWICE, once in the day and once at night, several months apart from each other. It's in a highly populated area, and I go there about once every 2weeks-month so I see the same guys who busted me for doing it & threatened to call cops, but they see so many people so doubt they recognize me. I learned that the Half price store closes at 10:00PM. They usually pack up & mop floors around 10:15 and finish around 10:20-10:25, then they leave around 10:30-10:35 (I sound like I'm planning a bank heist but that's how you have to go about it sometimes if you don't want to get caught)... Stores usually require workers to stay after closing time for about 20 minutes (That's what GameStops worldwide require).

How you handled getting caught was amazing! And you got some great stuff! As for names I vote for Speedy or some other fast name!

I found a beautiful old Sansui amplifier in a dumpster once. Not a scratch on it. Just walking past and glanced in. One channel was dead. 15 minutes troubleshooting and a replacement transistor and bada bing, works great.

Boy are we ever a wasteful society!

The turtle is doing the mannequin challenge

OMG I was dying when he was in that Half Price Books dumpster tossing those Guitar Hero guitars, the Leapster games, cd's, videos, cassettes (even sealed!) and the BASKET!! I was like DUDE GRAB THAT BASKET THROW THE GAMES AND CD'S IN THERE AND RUN LIKE HELL!!! So much money to be made in those games, Guitar Hero controllers and connectors alone!!

gangster intro. lol very office space goals haha

Those pallet jacks go for like 300+ wtf is going on up there.

Sad to see child games and such being thrown away when they should bring happynes to some children instead.

love the turtle. great finds. nice stuff

Those guitar hero guitars could've sold for some decent money.

Those hangers could be sold to discount store fixture sellers--we have a few of those shops here in Toronto

"Dress in shitty clothes" he's wearing a north face 😂

the skid mover you were looking at is called a pallet jack I work the factory used one quite often

Throws the leap frog that plays the games to the side instantly. Lol.

"A bunch of cds some games a Hep C infected needle" please wear gloves man Junkies toss shit in dumpsters all the time

Love these diving videos! I got busted at Pier 1 Imports once whilst i was in the bin. Told the guy straight up what I was doing but he was not happy at all and asked me to leave. I just shrugged it off and apologized. I'll probably go back there anyways haha.

It's unbelievable how times have developed. Back in the days you were used to let your precious electronics repair and nowadays brand new stuff is being thrown away. sad sad sad...

he could of made a fortune in a yard sale if he took everything he found in dumsters.

they should donate the stuff to a thrift store or to people in need.

day after black Friday is better.

I would bought that nightmare before xmas vhs.. Been looking for one from my childhood.

After major holidays, Christmas, Halloween, etc...you won't believe the things they have after seasonal cleanouts!!

you would think he would be in a hurry to get in and get out. as not to get caught by security or store employees.....

AAAAHHHHH Pete!!! That guitar and receiver are worth over $100 (probably around $150 with the holiday increase) on Amazon! It was painful watching you toss that back!

He looks very uninterested. Left all those goodies.

😮 I really really really want that turtle!!!! What an awesome find!

Get a pair of those metal or plastic grabber things. Will save you from having to dive into the dumpster.

That pallet jack was an easy 100.00 and the leap frog games 2.00-4.00 each. I would have taken them. It all sells at the right price.

Some great finds!! Congrats!!

Good finding. Awesome 👍

Florida here ... turtle pretty cool find

I don't know why people are so up tight about taking from what will be trashed anyway. When I was remodeling my home, I had a dumpster parked out front and my one neighbor would complain to me that someone was coming by and removing stuff. I told him I could care less and all they did was make more room for me. Whoever took the time to look made a good buck for their time.

sweet find. im gonna try this ay my guitar center!

just gotta be straight with people is the best advise i have seen on youtube

dude u threw away the part that goes to the little games. the big Green thing that takes batteries that u three to the side is what the gamed go to. my son has one lol

dude the nightmare before Christmas vhs is worth money

Great find on the Turtle.

You go to all the same places as I do. I have so much in my house from Kirklands and Pier 1. That turtle was a great find!

I'm glad his shop isn't a restaurant.

Myrtle the Turtle

That green thing with the pen you threw is what those "games" go with lol

you need one of those helping hands grabber things to fish the stuff out
