[@davidbarnes153]

My man Mike! Old school scrapper here 1980 on.had to stop 2020 due to medical issue. You make me feel young again thank you brother!

[@volkhen0]

I hope you get better.

[@davidbarnes153]

Thank you

[@denniscoughlin7437]

Feel better buddy. Im almost right there myself

[@zelengan1674]

Mike thank you from Saint Petersburg, Russia. I have a big problems with anxiety, and your videos are one of the most calm things here. It really helps sometimes through hard times ❤

[@mimiprays8288]

A little crazy isn't a bad thing... and you're saving scrap from the dump.❤

[@megansmith1382]

The sound effect when the razor scooter whacked him about did me in 🤣🤣🤣

[@preppedupproper262]

Never thought I would find a video of someone digging through dumpsters so interesting.. I was inspired enough and went out last night myself which brought in some goodies.

[@trasieinkersole491]

Mike, love your cheerful attitude. You must enjoy your work and you’re doing a service for us all. Thanks brother. Rick in beautiful Wa state USA

[@dreamcatcher90723]

I've been watching your channel for a while now. One of the things I love the most, is that you're true to your channel and you are so funny. I also like listening for your title in the video. if I miss it, after the video, I go back and watch again until I hear it. I asked my 9yr old granddaughter to take out the trash. Me: What are you doing? Her: looking for stuff. Me: lol, what? Her: You know, like Mike the Scavenger. I thought I seen something. Me: Oh, Ok. At that moment I couldn't have been more proud of her. So cute. LMBO.

[@1armida]

Yaaaasss! Me too! I pay close attention and listen to catch the title.

[@1armida]

Soooo cute your granddaughter is a already a scavenger! ☺️

Thats funny cause I didn't realize I do that until you mentioned it. How funny. Mike has a great personality and it's like we all get to ride along with him everyday.

[@alyssonrowan6835]

I have to say that watching some crazy guy going through other peoples' trash for junk while talking to himself and karate chopping dumpsters is surprisingly entertaining - not to mention relaxing while it also satisfies my inveterate nosiness. Keep it up, Mike, and may your dumpsters never grow empty.

Mike, they might think your crazy but I know a guy that bought a brand new Chevy truck, just from scrap he picked up on the way to and from work. That's the way to be crazy, and laughing all the way to the bank.

I love how you tk about the stuff you find. Learn all kinds of stuff, thanks mike😊😊😊

[@tedly867]

Hi Mike! At 25:06 you tear open a bag and there's a stick of computer memory right there on top. Look for the blue logo that says "Crucial" (that's just one brand). You definitely want to grab that when you see it. Your computer guy will want that. Looks like laptop memory. For desktop systems it looks very similar, just longer.

[@helium5912]

It pains me that he always just scraps or breaks down all the server hardware he finds. I could have built a few complete servers + the racks with everything he has found and put them to good use. Scrappers just want money.

[@ryanglaser5336]

@@helium5912 That's because he is focused on being a scrapper and not a hoarder. You really need to watch Ewaste Ben videos if you want to cry.

[@helium5912]

@@ryanglaser5336 No. Hoarders take stuff and dont use it. I would 100% use the server stuff he finds.

[@ryanglaser5336]

@@helium5912 I personally could use it myself, too. However, because you could use them still doesn't make a use case for Mike to save for himself. And Ewaste Ben on youtube wouldn't be scrapping RAM either if it was worth time & effort to resell. Pain to sort, so many different types of memory and QA takes some time to properly run a burn-in test on a RAM module (and you would need a different motherboard/cpu for every single different type of memory that you have).

[@helium5912]

If it brings in money then it's the good stuff. That motor would have been good money. You're going to have well over a thousand pounds like you had the other day. I wish I could go dumpster diving extra money and other surprises would be great. Have a great night Mike and be safe. No scrap left behind.

The roller thingy is an empty roll of Pallet wrapping film like a giant Cling film roller used in factory's to stretch wrap pallets of goods for storage or shipping keeps goods secure and clean stops goods loosening up on pallet when being moved about.

Thank you so much for NOT being a cord cutter! I despise the scrappers who do that, that’s right…you know who I’m talking about. 😡

[@mainelyelectric]

I’m a scraper too and I agree if I’m going to scrap appliances/ vacuums I take the whole thing and disassemble them to scrap instead of just cutting the cord. I like vacuums because I actually a lot of times take the cord and make light duty extension cords with them by installing a female plug on the other end.

[@bannykiat-ong3082]

Those bins are good metal you know😂😂😂

Hey...I’ve used a tow strap hooked to the hooks on the front of my suv to pull a hundred lb winch out of a dumpster...there’s a trick to it...u back up slowly till it’s right at the top then u romp on it..comes flying right out and leaves the dumpster in place and in tact lol...almost knocked it over the first try going slowly and befor I found out what it was I hooked too...all I had seen was a cable with a hook on the end and I had to find out what it was at that point...it had a huge piece of plastic wrapped up in the cable so I couldn’t see it..
