Dumpster diving 101!

<< < (2/2)

CrazyLamp:
 I find bissness/industral parks best places to find florescent fixtures and tubes.
while you are dumpster diving might as well take any metal as you can cash them in
at least it pays for your gas and some bucks for lighting stuff. i been doing this since i was 8 years old. for me i look for lighting related stuff, metal , electronics,

on contruction sites it 1 out of 10 dumpster they will let me dive in. must contact the forman of the contruction site first.  the best time for that is very early in the morning.

average dumster diving day i make about 40 to 75 bucks from scrap metal and few full wattage tube to bring home. I used my Ohm meter to weed out T12 tubes. and T8 visual inspection have to first pass for vacume loss then ohm meter check.
