For some reason I enjoy your videos. I think its because you are on the pavement on the ground digging for value every day. You also have a running monologue on the items you pickup, that keeps it interesting. Keep going, living the dream.
Me and my sons one day watched your videos and they couldn't believe the stuff people throw away. Also the kind of scrap you find when your out garbage picking, their minds were blown away. I told them my dad did this when it wasn't popular to garbage or trash pick....
I started watching your videos 3 months ago. I just watched this video from 2017. Your videos have improved. ;) You take more time, slow down, and explain what you're grabbing. You're one of my favorite channels.
I thoroughly enjoy your videos. Hearing the explanations behind your picking is very educational and entertaining. Also has helped me improve my own picking. Thank you sir!
My son and I are going to start doing this. I hate seeing things not being repurposed, donated or recycled. My son will love this. I enjoy your videos. Please take things like coffee mugs, dishes, etc. and send to Goodwiill or a thrift store. You'll get the write off too! Youd be suprised what would sell at the flea market. Just sell them for a quarter. It was a free find so anything made is like free money!
Yeah! We love the trash picking in those awesome "picking piles"!!!! The angle is a little off on the camera on some though. Still...hats off to you. Grateful for your hard work and efforts!!!!
Phaedra McCloud LoL, I hear you, fellow OCD! Every time Taco throws stuff into his van, I cringe! I tell myself HE’S picking the stuff and putting it into HIS van for HIS show - I’m just here for the entertainment! Then here comes Taco’s next stop, I cringe at the sound of metal crashing onto a box of china, he closes the van door and moves on! Turns out my cringing hasn’t changed anything (yet!) so now I’ll just say, “Keep the videos coming, Taco Stacks, we love you!”
I am so happy when you take fans. I have a project called "Fans for Friends" where I gather fans that save them from the dump, clean them up and give them to Grassroots and the Howard County Police Outreach for the Elderly who have broken air conditioners and no fans. Fans can SAVE Lives circulating air, window fans pull how air out and fans for desks cooling at face level. So I hope you might explore spreading the word to all about just how important life savers fans can be. Studies show how crime increases with temperature so do your part in lowering crime in a concrete way Save Fans and get them into your subsidized housing and shelters. Thanks for rescuing Fans for Friends! Judy Goldblum
Judy Goldblum I love this idea and it’s a great thing you’re doing, but most fans put out in the trash are likely too broken to be saved. I recently had to throw out some old table fans that were so far gone that they couldn’t be fixed.
The glassware you can look up the identity online.....One looked like a milk glass casserole/bread loaf over ware(fire -king maybe?) camera didnt show markings, check for marking on the bottom! But its a item that is hard to sell on ebay...Alot of relisting....Better to sell at the fleamarket like ya did in your other vid. Same with the Sevres decorative floral bowl! I used to buy & sell antiques on ebay for years but i got tired of them raising the ebay selling fees all the time! If you figure in the ebay closing costs, insertion fees, paypal fees and the shipping material costs....It all adds up! The only person making out is ebay & paypal at the end of the day! If you ever come across anything in antique glass or pottery, hold it up closer to the camera at all angles..Might beable to identify the item alot better!
3:29 OMG!!! that table and chairs are outdoors med-century modern (about 60-65 years old)! That would sell for a few hundred here in Australia, can't believe people throw it out!! Just crazy. At 11:27 you leave the rest of that table? OMG even if it is wood, it could be later changed......crying right now can't believe it made scarp :( I would have given you $200 no questions, for the table and chairs ''as is''.All day - any day.
the chairs and table are Woodard wrought iron. I deal in those sets. the table without the glass and with the chairs are an easy$250 to 300 all day long. With the glass 400 to 500. We pick up old patio tables with glass and sell just the glass for people who have broken their glass. Easy 40 to 75 depending on size and shape. Woodard should never be scrapped. Far too valuable. You took the 2 legs and left the rest of table which is now useless. Please research Woodard furniture. Makes my heart ache.
In case you still have the dish you thought was Pyrex....it's a pattern called "Blue Heaven" and was released by brands Marcrest and Royal China (50's-70's). Fire King produced this pattern on the dish you found, in the 1970's. I would be jumping for joy if I found this in a thrift store, let alone in the trash (free!). The Blue Heaven series is very sought after by mid-century collectors! Score. Glad you snagged it!
No Idea how you spotted that lol, there were a bunch of people outside and kids running around nothing creeper then a guy in a white van stopping by. But I can pray it didn't have anything in it. :/
When you returned to the big garbage pile and took the cord from that stereo, you missed the speaker cords, the speakers were detachable and they had some cord(comparable in weight with the power cord).
As I've commented in another video, load from the backside of your drivelr's seat,& row by row, with space between. & keep laying things neat. Then pattern will steadily build, and unload freely, and without stress. The pattern of filling will "un-fill" just as neat. (otherwise, you must feel like the most blessed trash picker in the world !)
Take the rug to the car was and power wash them. If they are small use the clips for floor mats to hang and spray them there. Only us the soap for a short amount of time. I picked up a lg rug last summer and it was sold by 5pm that day for 75 bucks.
nice pickups.... need to start scrapping with a trailer for you can fit everything lol....Scraplife is dog eat dog in my town...tons of competition!!! I started filming with a chest mount like you do all the time bc I really like that angle.
Great video! Oh man those were some good garbage piles. I've passed up on concrete weights before too, but people are always buying them. Those ironing boards make for really good saw horses.
Hello! Is this a once per month bulk waste collection that you get to pick through before the garbage trucks arrive? I am really enjoying hearing about/seeing what you find.
Dang dude! I bet you don't ever have to work out at the gym! Between walking and loading and unloading what a workout! LOL,makes me tired watching you,lol
I don't get it why when I click "Thumbs Up", the number stays the same and doesn't go up. All it does is the Thumbs Up symbol gets darker. What's going on?????? Is it working?
lol, you have so much better trash in u.s.a than we have in England, we cannot put furniture and big items roadside and have to pay separately to move them...im fascinated by what you find
A regular viewer, enjoy watching you get the scrap out goodies. One suggestion, in this video, your camera was tilted too far down, so when you bent over to pick up an item, All I kept seeing was yer feet! Angle up just a bit would be a better view for video, please. After watching it felt like I was straining my neck all the time! Ha ha.
so happy I stumbled upon your channel. So interesting. I must get back into op shopping (that's what we call thrift shops over here in Australia). Am curious, why do you take the cords?
I enjoy your video too but Q: where from!? What area is this!? I’m from Cleveland Ohio and I like watching stuff like this!! Thanks and ima look at the old one so I can catch on your new ones!
Hi Taco! I know this is an old video but the angle wasn't great. I felt like I was trying to look up most of the time. I'm happy you're better at filming meow :)
For some reason I enjoy your videos. I think its because you are on the pavement on the ground digging for value every day. You also have a running monologue on the items you pickup, that keeps it interesting. Keep going, living the dream.
thank you for your support, hopefully i can keep up with the solid content :)
Me and my sons one day watched your videos and they couldn't believe the stuff people throw away. Also the kind of scrap you find when your out garbage picking, their minds were blown away. I told them my dad did this when it wasn't popular to garbage or trash pick....
It's 2022... I've been a follower for almost 2 years and I still find "oldie but goodies" wow 2017 video of Taco Stacks😁
Loved the way you described what you picked up and why; great job. Keep 'um coming.
I started watching your videos 3 months ago. I just watched this video from 2017. Your videos have improved. ;) You take more time, slow down, and explain what you're grabbing. You're one of my favorite channels.
Omg you must walk miles I admire your determination.....good on ya!
I thoroughly enjoy your videos. Hearing the explanations behind your picking is very educational and entertaining. Also has helped me improve my own picking. Thank you sir!

I would love to have that table and chairs for my patio
I love watching your videos 😍❤️💕
Yeah! We love the trash picking in those awesome "picking piles"!!!!
The angle is a little off on the camera on some though. Still...hats off to you.
Grateful for your hard work and efforts!!!!
I just want to be there to help load the van. Lol.My O.C.D. kicks up about 50 % when you load it . Got a love it.love your channel.
Always so much interesting stuff...but his packing skills make my OCD go haywire and his camera angles give me vertigo!!!...LMAO
Phaedra McCloud LoL, I hear you, fellow OCD! Every time Taco throws stuff into his van, I cringe! I tell myself HE’S picking the stuff and putting it into HIS van for HIS show - I’m just here for the entertainment!

You are so up-beat!!! I love that!
Every time you find stuff I get excited 😊…
man you always find a way to fill that van, haha!
hahah i couldn't imagine driving it down your alleys
I love Thub and Whub💕 so cool you guys support each other

Hi Taco!!
Vintage typewriters are very sought after:)
ASMR? Nostalgia?
You look like you live in such a lovely area, everyone seems so lovely to you and chatty. What a difference from the uk
3:29 OMG!!! that table and chairs are outdoors med-century modern (about 60-65 years old)! That would sell for a few hundred here in Australia, can't believe people throw it out!! Just crazy.

Awesome CZcams channel, so many awesome finds
awesome finds dude. I find that yard sale leftovers have a Lot of good flea market stuff sometimes too.
I mesmerized can’t stop watching
Another enjoyable video.
I love turning curb finds/trash into Ca$h at my local farmers market! I do it in Delaware.
Broyhill is an excellent furniture company, good quality furniture.
I call what you find is FREE MONEY!! I either sell the stuff or donate it to people in need
10:48 Omg! you missed a Lionel train set! Even if it was just the box, they sell good on ebay.
No Idea how you spotted that lol, there were a bunch of people outside and kids running around nothing creeper then a guy in a white van stopping by. But I can pray it didn't have anything in it. :/
Good point Taco about protecting yourself when kids are running around in the front yard.
Super inspiring videos mate. I like the trash to treasure mentality, the scavenger lifestyle! Keep the vids coming please.
you always leave the good tables behind😔
Yeh he always leaves nice tables and I notice he misses good stuff too
Love your videos!I love pickin too..
Love your video . I'm a garbage pick too.👍
When you returned to the big garbage pile and took the cord from that stereo, you missed the speaker cords, the speakers were detachable and they had some cord(comparable in weight with the power cord).
💜💜Love the wrought iron chairs
I heard you say "metal-ski"...Shades of John the Picker. ;) LOL Those weren't acorns, they were pine cones....haha... Nice video! Enjoyed it.
Great video friend.
Quickly becoming my favorite show ever🖒
I can't believe I'm watching someone scrap metal! I found my new career.
As I've commented in another video, load from the backside of your drivelr's seat,& row by row, with space between. & keep laying things neat.

You just left a lot of dollars behind my friend
Love your
Videos
grait find have fun finding stuff out there
Loved it !!!!!
Love it
Grab the Rugs they are worth money all you have to do is power wash them I do it all the time!!!
Roxann West - isn't there a risk of bringing bedbugs inside the house with rugs, or the power wash takes care of them?
Was a good video had some of those days got to luv them keep them coming.
Love your volgs!!!! Keep up the good work buddy
I like how he calls pine cones acorns lol, everytime
Awesome 🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗😎😎😎😎😎🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗😎😎😎😎😎😎🤓🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗😎😎😎😎😎
Cool 😎 finds 👍👍👍
nice pickups.... need to start scrapping with a trailer for you can fit everything lol....Scraplife is dog eat dog in my town...tons of competition!!! I started filming with a chest mount like you do all the time bc I really like that angle.
The vintage golf bag was cute. I would've taken it.
I could not leave some of those tables! But you had a good day
Amo seus vídeos, Brasil João Monlevade. Minas Gerais
Great video! Oh man those were some good garbage piles. I've passed up on concrete weights before too, but people are always buying them. Those ironing boards make for really good saw horses.
hahahah i thought of you when I saw em, I would take the metal ones all day long I know those sell
I like it
Wow Taco, you find the coolest stuff, I want to go picking in your area haha
It amazes me what people throw away there! Here we can only put out regular trash except twice a year in the spring and fall on a certain date.
The Hexagon Sideboard was a Aquarium stand - these sell well!
I'm addicted to your videos! :D
I don't understand why you didn't take the table that matched those chairs?
Splendid vedio, Awesome . 👍
When i see stuff i pick it up too good job
Hi I just came across your page and I’m loving watching you 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻how fun 😉I almost want to go and look around too
Yep lovin your videos TACO STACKS ; )
Sports stores buy used weights like ones you left @Scrapvulture gets them a lot for resale.
WOW
GNARLY TACO STACKS.
I wish we could put out our scrap here in Ireland! We have to bring it to the recycling centre and we pay to dump our treasures!
We pay taxes for the city to haul away our garbage and stuff.
Hello! Is this a once per month bulk waste collection that you get to pick through before the garbage trucks arrive? I am really enjoying hearing about/seeing what you find.
I do the same thing!!!! Haha I'm like a raccoon finding treasure left and right.
Dang dude! I bet you don't ever have to work out at the gym! Between walking and loading and unloading what a workout! LOL,makes me tired watching you,lol
Hub and I love your videos.
checking out some of your old videos, think you would rethink some of your decisions then vs. today. one example Broyhill furniture
I don't get it why when I click "Thumbs Up", the number stays the same and doesn't go up. All it does is the Thumbs Up symbol gets darker. What's going on?????? Is it working?
FYI. The pattern on the casserole dish is Blue Heaven. Fire King made sime
hello good you work
lol, you have so much better trash in u.s.a than we have in England, we cannot put furniture and big items roadside and have to pay separately to move them...im fascinated by what you find
Usually with big items like fridges and stoves and ovens there are certain days to put out, not just anytime.
I wonder how long it will take before we run out of tube tvs to leave at the side of the road. I still see this on a daily basis.
exelente taco!!!
enjoyed the video
This must be a once a year, spring cleaning garbage thing ??? I'd hope people aren't allowed to throw this much stuff out, each week. lol
Yo awsome videos man 😎
A regular viewer, enjoy watching you get the scrap out goodies. One suggestion, in this video, your camera was tilted too far down, so when you bent over to pick up an item, All I kept seeing was yer feet! Angle up just a bit would be a better view for video, please. After watching it felt like I was straining my neck all the time! Ha ha.
Magic erasers will clean up the ceramic stuff real good in most cases
so happy I stumbled upon your channel. So interesting. I must get back into op shopping (that's what we call thrift shops over here in Australia). Am curious, why do you take the cords?
OMG I love that milk glass fish ...how much
I enjoy your video too but Q: where from!? What area is this!? I’m from Cleveland Ohio and I like watching stuff like this!! Thanks and ima look at the old one so I can catch on your new ones!
Hermosa tus vídeos, lastima no entiendo inglés
❤❤
Can't believe you left the tables!!
My goodness that is a casserole dish...
vintage patio furniture can go for $100s into $1000s especialy signed
Hi Taco! I know this is an old video but the angle wasn't great. I felt like I was trying to look up most of the time. I'm happy you're better at filming meow :)
Take the table with those chairs
I just bought a little table like that from the thrift store for $18.50. Hope I didn't get ripped off. ;)
You need a big box van
