Dumpster Diving (FOUND 6 VHS PLAYERS!!!)

[@larryd4352]

Donating those walkers would help some elderly or injured folks mighty happy. The one I had, for over a year and half, was a Godsend! You're A classy guy!

[@maxbell6237]

You gotta be careful donating those types of items though, a lot of the time there’ll be a recall or some reason new items like that are discarded.

[@richpaydirt]

Recently found your channel and am trying to catch up on past episodes. I’ve spent a good deal of my life as a part time scrapper, working full time in the HVAC and plumbing trades. I realized early in my career how senseless it was to throw away massive amounts of copper, aluminum and brass so I started staying a few minutes after work every day on my own time, salvaging what was going to be taken to a landfill. Its helped my family live a better life while doing just a little to help the environment.

[@wildhorseraces]

Awesome for u, but u will never catch up on all his videos,,!!!! I e been trying for over a year now!!!

[@beardedscrapper538]

Theres a guy at my scrapyard I sell all my medical stuff to. He helps people out in his neighborhood.

[@BFVgnr]

At 9:58, that's a laryngoscope, it's tool to help doctors intubate (insert a breathing tube). It gives them light to see and the blade holds the tongue out of the way.

[@mariancrist5087]

And you can get different heads for the handle: otoscope head to look in the ears and ophthalmoscope head to see inside the eyes.

[@tinabrewer_24ab12]

Good afternoon! Your respect meter flew through the roof when you said you would get those walkers in the right hands. I know I have seen walkers with no wheels. They sometimes work better then those with wheels. Great haul! Tfs!

[@dianewilliams1125]

I use a walker and i have one with wheels and one without! Thank you so much for saving them and getting them to the right folks! Shame on the place that threw them out!😮😮😮

[@lanna7917]

🎶That scrap was made for walkin...and that's just what they'll do🎶 yeah!😁😉 Awesome finds.

[@sandygap46]

Save those VHS players!! The tapes are actually becoming collectors items and the players are hot!

[@joebloggs-p8r]

players are 5 bucks in most goodwills

[@dianewilliams1125]

My son has a resale shop in NH,and he can't keep them in stock! They've had a huge comeback!

[@dianewilliams1125]

​@@joebloggs-p8rIn what state are you in? My son has a resale shop and he can't keep them in stock!

[@lukelegg9915]

​@@dianewilliams1125 same I sell them all day long, not crazy money but average sale of around 15 bucks, sometimes more, and 16 times 15 is alot 😂😂

[@elainepearman2309]

If a person is unsteady on their feet the walker they use would not have wheels. They take a step and lift the walker forward etc. They would be very useful indeed. I like that you donate these things. Thanks for the videos.🥰

[@Opticaldelusionist]

Dont donate to Goodwill they throw them away along with baby furniture electric blankets and more...Goodwills corrupt.

The handle with the batteries is used for intubation. It has a light that illuminates the throat and vocal cords so a tube can be placed in your trachea.

[@johnsharp8627]

The device with the stainless steel blade and batteries is what we use to intubate and place an airway in a patient before placing them on a ventilator. They've gone to disposable one patient use on a lot of things like that.

[@dennislamers986]

All those "baskets" are in every exam room. Bloodpressure cuff, light for ear, eyes, throat. Temps. Definitely digging deep today.

[@dennislamers986]

Is that Molly Hatchet?

[@marilynward7681]

Yes another great video and MIKE THE SCAVENGER song is back☺️

[@robertschwartzman195]

Hi Mike Those white baskets are to hold the blood pressure cup on the Dr's office. As per those vcr's they are portable and can be used in cars and vans. Great to have a small unit around. My vcr I use for recording audio in my home like a big cassette recorder. Have a good weekend to you and yours.

[@franktuckwell196]

You keep looking and finding, and we will keep on watching.

[@mimiprays8288]

Glad you saved the walkers. Our local salvation army takes medical supplies and gives them to those who need them for free or very little cost.

[@Azoreanislandgirl64]

MIKIEEEEE!!!! Lighting it up !!

[@edithdannemiller1358]

I like how they placed the beds nicely for you

[@ShortiWatta82]

Fun fact Mike, the very first video I watched of yours you was singing Regulator that hooked me and I've been watching you ever since. Oh plus the Ow sound you used to make that got me as well because my mother rest her soul used to make that sound every time she got excited seeing something. She had passed a few years prior to me running into your KZbin. Ninja Mike gotta be strong 💪🏾 oooooow

[@antoinettefoster5598]

Thanks for another awesomme noghts video Mike. Great variation in scrap. So maddening to see perfectly good walkers being thrown away. So glad you were able to rescue them from the landfill & donate them to people who will appreciate them. Keep up the great work. Have a good & safe weekend. Best wishes from Ireland🇮🇪🍀

[@daewooparts]

Years ago my closed his korean video rental business & literally gave me over 200 VCR's to scrap ....kept a few of the high end ones ,but took all the modern Sharp & Samsung VCR's & scrapped them ,but I did it the fun way & crushed the majority of the plasticity ones in the trash compactor first ...they are real crunchy stacked in rows of 10 & end up the size of 5 when done

[@cherylhuot4436]

Thanks for saving all that stuff from the landfill! Pretty good haul!!!

[@trasieinkersole491]

It’s an Lorendiscope (sp) it’s for intubating patients. I used them daily.

[@gene_takavic57]

Off to the pay window! I always like how you have a simple set up for your videos. No over-the-top editing. Just the MTS jingle at the end. Peace be with you brother!

[@grannypeggy8987]

As always another Fantastic Video, have a wonderful day Mike

[@glendaturner255]

So glad you didn't get cut up. Thank you for saving the walkers. So many people could use them. Cost rises with all the waste. So sad.

[@marksmithson1414]

It's awesome that you are going donate those walkers to help out those who can't afford them.

[@ppshale7223]

Just wanted to say I love your videos I appreciate what you do for us thank you

[@MarsG0Dofw4r_]

I would really be interested in an episode where you go to the scrap yard with your day's worth of metals.

[@marilynhemingway5219]

I doubt the way we live in a throw away world that Mike will ever run out of goods. Good haul.

[@wacherwolf4519]

You have the best job in the whole world. So many surprises every day and everything you find is yours. Daily joy, SUPPER !!!

[@miltonodom8576]

I like the new side boards on your truck bed

[@dennisleinart8877]

Hey Mike, you could donate the walkers to Churches, VFW, senior homes, ECT. Nice video once again.

[@jvjdrn]

12:31 the blue pads are inlays for instruments trays for sterilizing them so they stay in place.

[@brianwv64]

The blue rubber mats are for holding surgical instruments in trays

[@kimberly1273]

Omg. My mom needs that calculator! 😂 she's 72 and bad eyesight.

[@donnaspahr5585]

I’ve seen humongous universal remotes that I used to laugh at. Not laughing anymore. 😄

[@jvjdrn]

11:21 the baskets and brackets get hooked onto iv poles, vital sign machines etc for storage.

[@vintagebob4779]

12:31 they are soft plastic pads which keep surgical instruments in place/safe from damage they go inside metal trays to keep instruments together and protected.

[@judgem9150]

It's a Mackintosh #4 laryngoscope blade. I use them every day.

[@DCHoosier62]

Wow! Those lights were big!! Not a terrible night, not a memorable night either. Thanks for taking us along.😊

[@jeremypalmer9182]

Check for recalls on the walkers that’s usually why they throw brand new ones out they might not be safe

[@adorejunk]

Happy MTS! Video

[@lander7397]

dumpster dive,clean up and melt..try it mike😊

[@paulajones9956]

❤goodmorning to my favorite dumpster diver ❤😊😊😊😊

[@obedcasillas3404]

Mike, you should grab the garbage can part of the shredder. You can use it to put all the small pieces of wire and such, then dump them into Betty. It would be easier than trying to find a box in some of those wet dumpsters.

[@vickiesmith230]

Hey Mike good to see you.

[@philott8054]

Good to see you're saving our planet as usual. You keep finding that scrapity scrap scrap. Thanks for the videos puts a smile on my face each time

[@ruthanngriffin2504]

I just want you to know -I thank you for helping recycle. I enjoy your commentary. I am a person who works a lot comes home and enjoys your videos. Thank you!!!!!😊

[@shqa574]

When the scrap journey began, we never expected that you would find brand a dozen or more brand new walkers. Woo-hoo!

[@tatchley3049]

Open tops are still my favorites 😏 thanks Mr Scavenger

[@dianewilliams1125]

Mike great finds on the VHS players! My son has a resale shop in NH and he can't keep them in stock,big retro demand! Great job,you make my day! Scrappity scrap! ❤❤❤

[@sleepybadtzmaru]

18:42 I have found those light bases in my area. They have massive copper filled transformers in them. Great score.

[@ChrisErtz-w7h]

Big finds make for a great video, the industrial lights and that doctor/dentist office stuff were epic.

Thank you Mike for thinking of other people and giving these walkers to them. You are a very kind soul. God bless you

[@marthatierney2632]

Another fine video,.. thanks. Have a great night, Mike

[@kurtkuechenberg1684]

That one white scale looking thing is a magnetic stirrer. You drop a magnet into a glass container and put the container on top and it stirs the liquid, some have heaters, too.

❤love the " Mike the Scavenger" ending!!!❤

[@sharonromer6606]

❤ ya Mike...i look forward to your videos🤗

[@spaight711]

9:53 That’s a medical device called a laryngoscope. They’re usually made of stainless or brass, occasionally aluminum. Doesn’t have any resale value; just scrap.

[@jimcooper5611]

I see you have new side racks for Betty!

[@tammyreeves168]

Wow. Nice to see more Mike and Betty White videos. Stay safe and God Bless

[@barryl3090]

HI Mike great video great scores out there in the Dumpsters. you should grabbed those yellow bags and use them for very small parts and smalls and loose hardware screws nuts bolts and such and keep it in your truck we did that they are handy and stronger then cardboard and cheap totes .

[@unklejohn8575]

Mike! Please bring back the surprise cat in the dumpster bit.

Hey Mike....some computer monitors have nice stands that come off....I have found that they make great holders for Picture frames! Attach a picture frame to the clip on part the stand and you can raise some of your frames off the tables/mantles and leave room for more frames.

Hi Mike great vcr find.
