Dumpster Diving "Sometimes It's Worth It"

[@demetricadement1138]

Another hard night in the street for Mike. Thanks for taking us along. You inspire me when you empty a dumpster and then put it all back. A lot of divers don't do that. Stay strong!!!

[@mimiprays8288]

Anyone else cheer when Mike got the scrap at the bottom?? Way to go Mike.

[@turbolivesinmyheart6328]

Yo Scrappenger, I have bad legs, I have a hard time getting up out of bed every morning. But lately after watching your videos, I always tell myself, gotta be strong, and somehow I manage to stand up every time.

That Caliper measuring case at 2:09 you could save because a lot of people out there that need a case for the Caliper.

[@thomasschimdt5217]

Mike you might want to buy a Battery powered grinder and some cutting wheels. That way when you find you can use it to cut the metal so you can get it out easier.

[@lastmanstanding2622]

If there is something in a dumpster that Mike wants...Mike's gonna get it.

[@WingmanJohnny]

Cool beans 😎. First time I saw you dig everything out. Well keep up the great work young man

[@dr.a006]

That shelf? Sometimes it’s not for the value, it’s for the challenge and satisfaction of getting it out! Once you start, you can’t stop.

[@justinalias2279]

Do you think you'd actually get 5 bucks in scrap value for that shelf? The prices where I live aren't that good, $5 seems totally worth it

[@dianna3157]

I constantly have to organize my own trash. My husband apparently doesn't care about the planet and thinks everything goes in the trash. Some people are untrainable. 😥

[@catgynt9148]

Considering the high prices of lumber, you abandoned a small fortune of timber. I sure hope that your maintain a measure of safety; steel shank and toes on your boots to protect feet and ankles. Stay safe out there, take steps to protect your self. Thanks for sharing this video. Wishing you and your family a blessed week. Cheers

[@bannykiat-ong3082]

Plywood and carboard plastic and such are wort monny here 😍 If that bin were here you can consider it cleaned

[@davidcarter8947]

Hi mike haven't seen a street scrap recently about time we had some street scrapping keep safe.

[@melvinyoung3474]

The enameled cookware is valuable even incomplete sets,can be sold as parts. The older the piece, the greater the value. They come in 3 colors with white spots. Red, green, and blue. That also is the order of rarity.

[@onefixitman]

That glass carafe for the coffee maker is the important part. Once it breaks most people throw away the machine. You got it intact for the yard sale.

[@shawncave8339]

The next trampoline you find with the safety net, take it and use it to cover your scrap. That way nothing won't fly out of your truck.

[@donnapadgett6583]

Damn Mike you sure work hard for some Scrap !

[@lia-liz2012]

"Hode up" I filled in the blank when you were talking about that one dumpster. I said puked and then you said it vomited. Lettuce know if that nailer works. I even love it when you empty the dumpster and fill it up again. Was hoping you wouldn't impale yourself on that metal shelf. Keep on punchin the dumpsta 😉😂😘👍🎄

[@MarvinHuff-cp2gg]

Awesome video mike

[@Charles-r2u]

I did Home education too. But for the girls. Always try and fix the hammers. Nine times out of ten it is the rubber seal inside that screws up on those.

[@bfarm44]

All that plywood coulda used in my boys treehouse too.

[@egerviktor6910]

Guten abend. 👍

[@robertordewald8678]

Goodness gracious great ball o wire!

[@chewdognrambo]

Straighten out the box. Unravel a cpl inches. Attach the wire to vice or screw on a table or whatever. Squeeze it together and pull tight a few times and wire comes right out. Even pcs up to and more the ten ft. Find your rythm and blow right through it. Works for aluminum or steel.

[@charlesmosely6297]

Mike's got a new name, Mike the Scavenger and Such.

[@yourexcellency7774]

See those aluminum trays at the 18-minute 11-second Mark. I save both the bottoms and the tops I use them in my old Ronco Rotisserie to keep the drip tray clean.

[@emptymaker9752]

Clearing out a whole dumpster for 30 cents worth in scrap is priceless!

[@brainisfullofnonsense8183]

If you know how much a single bay of that shelving costs, even used, you'd know that he had the find of the night right there. Look up gorilla shelves, and I think those were the 8 foot tall corner posts... so around $150... What is truly priceless is that he can find these things day after day....I think I've seen him pull out at least two dozen pool pumps. He has a good route. That only comes with time spent doing something. I'd say that with his standards (not taking what isn't in the dumpsters, leaving the area cleaner than when he came, no metal studs, etc), proficiency, and experience, he's a true (bonafide) professional dumpster diver.

[@lane8376]

In the dumpster with the spider it looked like a wheel to a lawnmower. Buried at the bottom. Anyone else see it? How about you Mike? At 34:24.

You Americans have got it so good, here in the uk nearly all the dumpsters have lock's on them to stop any1 getting stuff, plus the police will put you in jail and give you a criminal report if you get caught taking or moving anything out of a dumpster !!!!!😡😡

[@michalaugustniak433]

They also waste whole tons - which is why this is both illegal yet tolerated - and have a market medical system that will gladly charge you an arm and a leg, if you stub your toe too hard.

[@tammymanuel9158]

You would think they would have taken them all apart before the put them in the dumpster. It takes up too much room. Boxes should all be broken down too. Idiots throwing stuff out just don’t care. Good find for you Mile, but lots of hard work. Lol All the aluminum is lite weight. But its scrap and worth money. You don’t really need to take the boxes home, fill them up in the dumpster, then dump it in the truck, then throw the box back in the dumpster. Easy peasy, lemon squeezy. Lol Best view is usually an arial view from above. Surprise, look what you found. Good stuff. 🤣
