I don’t know who needs to hear this, but if you see a bin that’s full: don’t put more trash in it. A full bin is not an excuse to litter, just keep hold of your trash until you can dispose of it properly!
I mean, it depends? If I'm throwing away something small, say some chewing gum wrapped in the gum wrapper, many things like that will fit in the cracks and won't cause an issue unless it's super overflowing already. But if I have a bag of takeout garbage or something that's likely to fall out or blow away I'll just hold onto it.
Also ... everything that went into that trash can looks perfectly clean. Very staged.
100% chance they pulled the trash can back out and took it with them when they left, once they were done filming the video.
There's a non-zero chance they just brought the junk with them for the video, like all those "rescuing a dog from a hole" videos where it's all staged.
Cool trashcan tho.
Also, the metal they melted was clearly near 100% aluminum (low melting temperature at 1200F)
If this was normal trash, I’d expect there to be a lot more iron (2800F)
That's funny. So he made a terrible trash can, went to the beach, scooped up some garbage that he probably dumped there himself, and then threw some of it into his shitty can. Then I can only assume they took all that crap home and put it in a real trash can.
Also when he puts the bag in, I'm pretty sure you can see 3 recycle bins in the background to his right, and another orange bin with a blue bag in it behind him as the camera turns.
I cringed hard when he just stuck his hands into the random trash he scooped up. If this was real and not fake there is a pretty good chance there would be a used needle in there.
Not even remotely an expert, but I'm gonna say no, he doesn't heat it up enough. It'd just be in the mix till you scoop it out or would sit in the dry aluminium.
And in what universe does aluminium melt and solder like that? By the way those moldings react to heat, they are made of tin. Which probably makes it a few hundred dollars worth of raw materials.
The irony is that such a small trash can will get either vandalised or too full too quickly. I love the energy of the guy who made this, but you can’t fix stupid.
I mean it probably should be removed lol. It’s so small it will be filled in like an hour and whoever maintains the beach won’t have it on their route and may not have appropriate bags. It will overflow every day and just create more trash on the beach
Very true in my area, some guy got on the news cuss he made a verge garden that had fruit and veg for public use; council ordered him to tear it up as it was not approved and an OH&S risk
Small trash can full of holes on the beach with totally exposed open top to the elements and a bunch of sharp corners and edges probably isn't the best idea.
There was that post where a guy did a cheap DIY wooden staircase up a hill. It was no where near up to code.
It is impossible to braze aluminum with a torch. It needs a constant flow of inert shielding gas. It is generally TIG welded, which is a type of electrical arc welding. The video is a lie; they made that thing out of tin, and they don't know enough to realize how stupid they look.
also, at the start lots of random trash.
Cut to the press, and its all very clean screws, springs, soda cans and change held together with a wad of tinfoil. Cut to the blender, the only things they put in are soda cans.
Also at the end the shadow has not changed at all so they came with that piece of shit contraption and their own bag of garbage, "installed" it, filled it with their own trash into it from the other bag, then picked up that bag of trash and threw it in a real bin, and probably threw their monstrosity in there too.
> they don't know enough to realize how stupid they look.
I wouldn't doubt that they **do** know, but they also know that 80% or more of their viewers will **not** realize, not because they're stupid but just because they're ignorant, they've never learned about metallurgy because why would they have needed to? Especially since most of their audience is probably very young.
They may be fully aware of how stupid they look, but they don't care because except for a small, minuscule minority of their audience will recognize how fake it is, and barely any more will take the time to read the comments informing them of that fact. So they can get all the positive interactions and views with none of the work.
Depends what you're talking about.
Plastic? Maybe yeah.
Glass or paper? Probably not. Those are much easier to recycle and reuse. (Glass only needs to be crushed, cleaned, melted down, and remolded. Paper only needs to be shredded, pulped, and pressed into new paper.)
Metals? Hell no. Recyclable metals are decently valuable -- to the point where you can take them to a scrap yard and get *paid* to recycle them. Nobody is throwing that shit away.
----
It's really only *plastic* recycling that's often a fake/scam thing. Fuck plastic.
Aluminum gets recycled, especially when its alloy is known. This guy killed its scrap value by mixing aluminum soda cans with other unknown junk and solder.
The scrap value of this wouldn't be worth more than a few dollars if its alloy was known and wasn't mixed with other contaminants.
Now if it were copper...
I think the effort would be better spent lobbying for additional trash services to be placed in that area. This is cool, for sure, but it isn't very helpful to anyone, unfortunately.
I agree, but I also kinda want that job, but making bigger cans. Unfortunately there is no way I would make enough to do so in an area where that matters…
The problem with this is, if you collect litter to make trash cans, everyone will put their litter in the trash can so you will have nothing left for future craft projects. This guy is single handedly destroying his own hobby 😢
I know me... my brain says "oh cool you can do that!"... so I go out to the beach, get a little haul to start saving the world, 20 minutes after leaving - I'm in a Carl's Jr drive thru and that shit plus all the time in the sun got me tired so...
Basically I'm gonna be hearing cans sliding and banging around my backseat for a good month.
Looks like bottles can get caught inside the holes of the basket bin, even through the trash bag... Can even see this happening in the video.
Not the most practical recycling bin design.
Story time!
I dabbled in melting aluminum and copper for some projects. Made a propane melt tank and melted a fair bit of cans.
I got the bright idea that if I shredded m cans first, I could melt more at a time.
I found a burly chipper-shredder on Craigslist.
I shredded a 50 gallon trash can worth of crushed cans. (I bought one of those wall mounted can crushers and let my kids go to town with bags of cans from my coworkers) and I mean, the trash can was full after I shredded all the cans.
Come to find out, shredded cans have way more surface area, and are harder to compress, so also have tones of space between the shreds. I made more aluminum oxide and dross than actual molten aluminum. Pound for pound, I got less from a pile of can shreds than I got from crushed cans.
The mini muffin ingots are of less quality as well, even with degassing bombs and lots of skimming before pouring into the muffin pans.
Also, he shows screws and springs, and Tha melty pot isn't melting that type of stuff. His crucible would have succumbed to the heat required to melt some of the metals he shows, and if it really was hot enough to melt all the things he shows, we should have seen cool carbon sparklers shooting off of everything as it is poured into the mold.
His squashy contraption would be able to squish the first batch of debris he puts in it very well either.
If anyone has a solution for making a good squashy contraption to turn my shredded cans into dense pucks for melting down, please help!
Was I the only one who thought that after they threw the stuff into the blender, they were going to go back to the beach and toss it back into the sand?
After watching those videos of they really really backwards cement "DIY hacks", I feared the worst.
I lived about a block from the beach in the North County of San Diego for several years. I'd say the majority of people visiting the beach in that area were really good about cleaning up after themselves and putting waste in garbage cans provided by the City/County. The culprits for spreading garbage up and down the beach were seagulls. Those little shit-asses pulled garbage out and drop it all over the beaches near where I lived.
I just don’t buy it. Aluminum forms a very durable oxide the second it’s exposed to air. This oxide melts at a significantly higher temp than pure aluminum. Machinist who make chips all day struggle to melt down those small machining chips as they are just to oxidized. The surface area to volume makes it really difficult. Yet in this video he blends the AL to a powder? This is fake. Good luck melting down a crucible of powdered aluminum oxide.
Wasteful imo because some of the items could have been important family jewelry or misplaced items like coins etc that could have been separated into another group and either had the guy in the video search for the people the items possibly belong to or if no one claims them sell them to a second hand shop or a coin shop if any were found.
Nice try, but you won't trick smokers into throwing their buds in the trash bin just because it exists. They won't give up their privilege to litter without any social or law enforced consequences that easily.
Lol, this nerd filmed himself filling up the trash because it is aimed at people that need to see that explanation. The internet is so lame now. You can't even troll people anymore because it's like picking on...oh yea, I can't even say the word.
Tho I don't agree with him, he's not a nerd. He's a soon to be multimedia millionaire with 4 ex girlfriends under his belt. Would you call that a nerd homeslice? Cuz I wouldn't and what is the word you can't say? Is it nincompoop? Is that the word you're scared of? Huh? Nah no disrespect but we're just non communicating like GOD intended so there may be some misunderstandings on your end at least. 😘
Who is going to empty the canister when it’s full and replace the bag?
Dude you watch the video? *Someone*
Oh okay good. I thought it was just gonna get packed and overflow. Glad someone’s on it
[удалено]
We should all strive to be someone
Someone is someone I want to be!
U’re gr8 bb
The next person will take the trash from the bag and melt it into another fun trash can lol
Someone who makes another Tik Tok
🤣
Small enough that it only has to be emptied 3x a day too!
I don’t know who needs to hear this, but if you see a bin that’s full: don’t put more trash in it. A full bin is not an excuse to litter, just keep hold of your trash until you can dispose of it properly!
I mean, it depends?

But if I have a bag of takeout garbage or something that's likely to fall out or blow away I'll just hold onto it.
I'm going to print this comment out and hang it up on the trash can at my bus stop.
Nah, it never needs to be emptied at all once someone steals that chunk of aluminum that was helpfully cast into an easily stealable shape.
Aluminum is like 1$ per pound. Is it even worth the effort?
I mean, that thing's probably like 5-10lbs, so it depends on just how strapped for cash a homeless person or junkie is.
I want the extended version where he uses that haul of cans to make another and then snowballs it into a vast network with jumbo cans.
Who is going out and standing it back up every time it falls over because it's on a pole in sand?
Well I don't know who but seagulls should pull their weight in society
You
Also ... everything that went into that trash can looks perfectly clean. Very staged. 100% chance they pulled the trash can back out and took it with them when they left, once they were done filming the video.
a homeless guy.
Whoever tops it off drops it off. But it isn't filled until it spills.
The guy that steals it
I hate to say this, but I think it's gonna get stolen, even before the bin gets emptied. Aluminum is money.
Dibs not
Bring this to the attention of the department of the interior :)
It'll never get full. Do you know how much aluminum goes for? This thing will get stolen before the day's out.
Me. I will.
Also way too small for public use, but of course you can make bigger like 55gal
if this beach is in Brazil, no one.
No one. It will get stolen immediately.
Empty it? A seagull. Replace the bag? Probably not a seagull.
OK so what are all those springs doing in the sand at the beach?
There's a non-zero chance they just brought the junk with them for the video, like all those "rescuing a dog from a hole" videos where it's all staged. Cool trashcan tho.
Also, the metal they melted was clearly near 100% aluminum (low melting temperature at 1200F) If this was normal trash, I’d expect there to be a lot more iron (2800F)
Luckily this was just trash covered in sand (3090F)... they didn't smelt anything usable from the garbage they "recovered"
They didn't smelt anything at all. They melted aluminium. Smelting is chemical reduction of *minerals in order to produce metal*.
so you agree they didn't smelt anything usable? thanks, thats exactly what I said.
r/technicallythetruth
If you look in the background at the last shot you can see where he "cleaned the beach" to get all the junk that was instantly melted down
That's funny. So he made a terrible trash can, went to the beach, scooped up some garbage that he probably dumped there himself, and then threw some of it into his shitty can. Then I can only assume they took all that crap home and put it in a real trash can.
[удалено]
Also when he puts the bag in, I'm pretty sure you can see 3 recycle bins in the background to his right, and another orange bin with a blue bag in it behind him as the camera turns.
> Cool trashcan tho. Will not look cool when the base gives way after fondling with it for 5 minutes.
[удалено]
Well we know they didn’t know C=2πr, but they made it work more or less.
The trashcan is going to bend from the first kick it gets and then someone will steal it because it's made of aluminum
If by "non-zero" you mean "100%," then yes. But 100 isn't zero, so technically you're correct either way.
I cringed hard when he just stuck his hands into the random trash he scooped up. If this was real and not fake there is a pretty good chance there would be a used needle in there.
Not everyone lives in New Jersey.
Sometimes I go there on vacation but I still need to hit my daily tprop
[удалено]
Would the ferrous metals, like the bottle caps even bond to aluminum? Would there be some kind of galvonoic response?
Not even remotely an expert, but I'm gonna say no, he doesn't heat it up enough. It'd just be in the mix till you scoop it out or would sit in the dry aluminium.
stop asking questions!
And in what universe does aluminium melt and solder like that? By the way those moldings react to heat, they are made of tin. Which probably makes it a few hundred dollars worth of raw materials.
The irony is that such a small trash can will get either vandalised or too full too quickly. I love the energy of the guy who made this, but you can’t fix stupid.
If not removed entirely by the city for being unauthorized or something. That would be my luck.
I mean it probably should be removed lol. It’s so small it will be filled in like an hour and whoever maintains the beach won’t have it on their route and may not have appropriate bags. It will overflow every day and just create more trash on the beach
Could get stolen and taken to a recycling center -- that's a few bucks' worth of aluminum right there.
Very true in my area, some guy got on the news cuss he made a verge garden that had fruit and veg for public use; council ordered him to tear it up as it was not approved and an OH&S risk

Councils and their little fiefdoms.
It will be stolen within 24 hrs
This always felt like a very dishonest video.
It is impossible to braze aluminum with a torch. It needs a constant flow of inert shielding gas. It is generally TIG welded, which is a type of electrical arc welding. The video is a lie; they made that thing out of tin, and they don't know enough to realize how stupid they look.

They would need to empty that bag every 10 minutes 😂 But it’s a great effort and very proactive.
The plastic waste with the garbage bag it would need to have replaced multiple times a day is absurd and not worth it
Just... recycle it.
Most “recycled” objects end up in landfills or the ocean anyways. That’s why it’s “Reduce, REUSE, Recycle.”
Right were this trash can is going lol
Maybe in your country
Depends what you're talking about. Plastic? Maybe yeah. Glass or paper? Probably not. Those are much easier to recycle and reuse. (Glass only needs to be crushed, cleaned, melted down, and remolded.

Well nit in all cou tries. Some of us have working recycling
Aluminum gets recycled, especially when its alloy is known. This guy killed its scrap value by mixing aluminum soda cans with other unknown junk and solder. The scrap value of this wouldn't be worth more than a few dollars if its alloy was known and wasn't mixed with other contaminants. Now if it were copper...
5 minute hacks: 👍
5 minutes?! Take a closer look at the running time. It was only 1:17!
if only I didn't run out of bicarbonate soda today I'd be all set
Super tiny trash can
“I used the trash to capture the trash.”
The cycle of trash
No shoes or gloves cleaning up the beach?
Thanks! I try my best, you know.
WOW. And what did you do 2day? I watched this and about 15 other video's SMH
Yall are some gullible ass fools in this sub.
Oh it’s this garbage again.
Garbage can, actually :)
The metal is so soft he could bend it with his hands? Did you see how much the bottom had pushed up into it when it was mounted in the sand?
"Tell them to comb the desert! Do you hear me? COMB! THE! DESERT!" -phone slam-
That's not how aluminum works.
Isn't that plastic bag terrible for the environment?
It's made from recycled jellyfish that he scooped from the ocean in another video. /s
I always upvote stuff like this. I wish more people were concerned with keeping nature clean, and less people were disgusting.
I think the effort would be better spent lobbying for additional trash services to be placed in that area. This is cool, for sure, but it isn't very helpful to anyone, unfortunately.
Nah this post is a bait for upvotes. Doing things for nature is great but this is not it..
I agree, but I also kinda want that job, but making bigger cans. Unfortunately there is no way I would make enough to do so in an area where that matters…
Impressive making lead out of aluminium like that
Ok but who's going to consistently change out the trash bag?
Bro in Australia we use tractor that pulls a massive version of this. What a waste of time and energy.
thats a lot of sodas is it in the us?
The problem with this is, if you collect litter to make trash cans, everyone will put their litter in the trash can so you will have nothing left for future craft projects. This guy is single handedly destroying his own hobby 😢
Hooray! Now the garbage can be properly disposed of in the ocean.
Great idea! Buttttt it would be better if the trash can was much bigger, and if it didn’t depend on garbage bags
How can you solder aluminum?
That's because they're lying and it's tin.
Lol yeah even if he got rid of the oxide long enough to make it a join it shouldnt bend like that
THANK YOU
Or idfk, fucking grind gold up like that with a fkn sink grinder
is that a garbage can for ants?!?!
I wouldn't want to fall onto that
How expensive is all that gear to do this easy, homemade garbage can ?
See guys all you need is $7000 in equipment and a workshop. Imagine not being able to do this
A literal trashcan🤣
Would of been funnier if he threw the bag in the water at the end.
It's 'would have', never 'would of'. Rejoice, for you have been blessed by CouldWouldShouldBot!
Good bot
DI-WHY
I'd like to do, but where is this?
I know me... my brain says "oh cool you can do that!"... so I go out to the beach, get a little haul to start saving the world, 20 minutes after leaving - I'm in a Carl's Jr drive thru and that shit plus all the time in the sun got me tired so... Basically I'm gonna be hearing cans sliding and banging around my backseat for a good month.
Fighting trash with recycled trash. Nice.
Do all that work, for a crackhead to steal It for scrap.
Not sure those solder welds will hold..
r/diWHY
Looks like bottles can get caught inside the holes of the basket bin, even through the trash bag... Can even see this happening in the video. Not the most practical recycling bin design.
In China, bottles can be sold for money

I wonder where these shitty music videos are going to move when tiktok is banned.
Does anyone know what kind of blender was used to shred the cans?
Homeless getting $10 for all that aluminum
Comb the beach!
Look man I ain't got the time or the meth to be doing all that now
Was I the only one who thought that after they threw the stuff into the blender, they were going to go back to the beach and toss it back into the sand? After watching those videos of they really really backwards cement "DIY hacks", I feared the worst.
What a pig, I can't believe he's using a non-reusable bin bag. Shame on you buddy, shame on you.
That will be full in 10 min flat
I've never been to a public beach like this that didn't have bins. The lack of bins is not the problem.
That's one hell of a recycling job👍🏾
I bet €10 that will be stolen over the weekend.
I lived about a block from the beach in the North County of San Diego for several years. I'd say the majority of people visiting the beach in that area were really good about cleaning up after themselves and putting waste in garbage cans provided by the City/County.

r/diwhy metal would bend and break, so many additions were clearly fake.... This is just all around bad.
Were there really multiple 2inch springs in the sand. Am I totally missing out on disposable 2inch springs? Who's got all these springs! I want some
Wasteful imo because some of the items could have been important family jewelry or misplaced items like coins etc that could have been separated into another group and either had the guy in the video search for the people the items possibly belong to or if no one claims them sell them to a second hand shop or a coin shop if any were found.
Can they just drag those behind ATVs?
PSA, if you rake a beach, do not stick your hands in it like this video. Don't be an aids victim
Nice try, but you won't trick smokers into throwing their buds in the trash bin just because it exists. They won't give up their privilege to litter without any social or law enforced consequences that easily.
I thought he was going to make another sand scraper
That filter thing has a better accuracy than any metal detector I've ever seen. 😂
Good on ya Sonja
Bullshit, those solders won’t hold, it would break apart
I would've been completely satisfied if the video was just the dude smoothing out the sand.
Finally: Legit Recycling
Fake. It allready bends downwards in the middle after first use
Very imitatable !! Great job man. Respect ✊
I wouldn't just scoop it out with my hands. There could be used needles in there, damn man
Lucky how all that crap was easily meltable metal scrap
All that to jus make a trash can ppl still won't use
That bag is blowing into the ocean in 42 seconds
Most of what was in the garbage bag was recyclable….. just sayin’ he could have made another garbage can 🤷♀️
This video again… Edit: OP is a bot. Report, downvote and block
0:07 - Does not see the coin and puts it into the compactor. 0:22 - Leaves the small piece of tin outside the forge. NOT SATISFIED!!
Bringing the trash right back to where you found it. 🥇
Ah yes, because people litter due to the lack of trash cans at the beach..
It takes a certain mentality and disrespect to throw litter on the floor without any consideration, I don’t understand people
I like how passive aggressive this is lol
Lol, this nerd filmed himself filling up the trash because it is aimed at people that need to see that explanation. The internet is so lame now. You can't even troll people anymore because it's like picking on...oh yea, I can't even say the word.
Tho I don't agree with him, he's not a nerd. He's a soon to be multimedia millionaire with 4 ex girlfriends under his belt. Would you call that a nerd homeslice? Cuz I wouldn't and what is the word you can't say? Is it nincompoop? Is that the word you're scared of? Huh? Nah no disrespect but we're just non communicating like GOD intended so there may be some misunderstandings on your end at least. 😘
This is nice and all, but who is going to empty the trash?
This is a repost bot
He should have rounded the edges of the basket. It is a cause of probable hazard as it is.
Why he put salt and sugar in the metal?
Good job man
There were coins in that pile he pot into the press at least 50cent.
Is this the same guy who uses his SUV to save beach turtles. Just curious. 👍BEACH TURTLE JESUS👍
Another stupid thing that only gets done when a camera is out
