Dumpster Diving "1,300 Pounds...One Dumpster!"

[@tramacmeg8103]

Wow 200 to 300 dumpster a night... Dang, I had no idea. I knew you worked hard, but that's a lot of work per hour for the return!!! Thanks as always!

[@shawbros]

Yeah, he sometimes finds some cool stuff, but that amount of work makes it sound much less appealing.

[@jvjdrn]

On top of that it takes a lot of time to edit videos. Thanks @MiketheScavenger!

[@darrenswails]

He's already got 42k views, 400k subs, probably not hurting too much from ad revenue

[@Jibbie49]

@@darrenswails Yes, but for me, I keep coming back, because Mike's videos are such good quality and he's so likeable.

[@darrenswails]

@@Jibbie49 i know, that's how he gets the views and subscribers

You are the first dumpster diver who has been honest about the numbers game - some nights you have to hit a lot of them to fill up. Then you have those days where all it takes is a few minutes to make a night.

[@sararedfearn4691]

Hello Mike from the UK. Hard work is the one thing you are not frightened of. Making your hard work look like fun just for us is appreciated. Good honest work from a guy, just paying the bills. Thank you for making us all smile and happy in these sad times. Mr JR/UK

Hi Mike thanks for recycling and helping the planet.

[@diannatucker6084]

I'm always amazed how you do this by yourself, I get worn out just watching you. Stay safe!

[@offhandacoustic]

Its great exercise. Scrapping actually helped me loose 40lbs I gained after both of my knee surgeries.

[@dorothyc2801]

I had no idea you went to so many dumpsters in one go! Glad you had an easy one this time!

[@stanleygallman7800]

It's really hard work! Although true scrap fan's understand that it takes a lot of work to bring us such great content which also includes the process of editing. Mike the Scavenger 👏🎉 And in my opinion you are the KZbin scrap king so thanks for sharing and all ways trying to make each scrap adventure exciting. Yes sir I'm your #5 fan keep up the good work.

[@juliewardman7520]

Almost hesitated giving you a thumbs up for this one....I don't want you thinking we all prefer shorter videos. In fact, I could watch you all day long. Great job yet again, Mike. You put in the hard yards and you get the results.

[@jasperscott5426]

A real environmental joy to watch,scrappity,scrap to you MIKE ‼️

[@zefox_08]

Quick, short and squeezey. 😁 Great video Mike. We do appreciate all the hard work you put into your nights and videos. Thank you for taking us along

[@Finallyretired2022]

Now that I’ve caught up on all your old videos I get to watch 1 at a time. I hate waiting so I go back and look at old ones again !!

[@1armida]

I appreciate you working so hard and explaining how many dumpsters you hit to make a video. You most definitely make it fun. I, for one, wouldn’t mind watching you go from dumpster to dumpster. Thank you for all you do!! 👻

Mike’s out and about ! Good show ! ✌️

[@JOMAR3]

That was an awesome short run. Totally enjoy the hunt with you every video, It's actually pretty exciting when you do the dumpster runs. The thrill of the finds each time keeps me interested. I find myself calling out to the screen "Over there Mike look at that. My wife thinks I'm Nuts. LOL

[@michelebrown7951]

Wow wow what a haul, thank you Mike for all you do, hope all is well with the family including the doggies. ❤️

Great episode. I like the reality low down. I didn’t know you hit so many dumpsters in a night.

Good evening all. I am a member of scrapaholics anonymous. It's been 12 hours since my last dumpster dive. Watching Mike gives me my fix when I get nothing out there 🤣

[@winglessviper]

Love to see you being fruitful in your edeavors. FYI: the draw handles are usually aluminium and the ID tag slots are sheet alum. I pull em. Every little bit adds up.

[@cherylhuot4436]

Nice haul Mike! Thanks for taking us along and giving us a bit of the reality of all you do.I had to smile when you mentioned going to see Billy Joel. Back in the late 90s my ex and I went to see him in concert. We had ground floor seats. Picture this…. All the seats in our section were on a flat floor. Not stair stepped so the folks in front of you are lower like in the seats built into the walls. I’m 5 feet tall. Everyone on the ground floor stood on their seats. I never saw Billy Joel. Not even a glimpse! All I saw was everyone’s ass! LOL I gave up after a while, sat down and just listened. Lesson learned! No more ground floor seats.

[@robertschrader3941]

Hey Mikey, everyone is getting ready for the digital world. Guaranteed you’ll see a lot more filing cabinets in the trash.

[@lilyrose3145]

👍💯

[@YoutubeStakeHolder]

I heard somewhere that the USA plans to go fully digital by December of 2022

[@tonymercer265]

Nobody will need filing cabinet's when the economy collapses, Let's go Brandon.

[@robertschrader3941]

I'm sorry about the blowout dear. The money you made went towards another tire.😕 Hope you had some left for a good evening for you and your wife. I would not have even imagined you had to hit so many dumpsters! We don't see that side of your adventures, neither do we feel the sore,strained muscles, the banged up body you get doing all that you do.

Awesome glad you are doing such a good job on keeping the metals out of the landfill. Your cool 😎.

[@j.lietka9406]

Mike I don't scrap like you do for a living. I check dumpsters, curbside piles, & ask folks that are moving out of their homes, for electronics. PCs, laptops, Chromebooks, other cables, chargers, etc. To tinker with them, repair, & when possible, rebuild. The finds are few, as I don't have all day to cruise around my town looking. I wish like every other time I go out I would find something worthwhile, to me! Thanks for the great videos & finding what you are looking for to earn a living. Give your family a hello from NC & give your new pooches a treat! 🤓 Yes scrapping is hard work.

[@garylangley4502]

Hey Mike! Looks like you got your weight lifting in for the day. That was a great run. I use old filing cabinets for storing tools and hardware, but I have to pick and choose carefully. Many of them are just for long term storage, so they don't have very good hardware since they are not opened and closed a lot. Best wishes!!

Hey, finally someone talked about die cast! I've been trying to figure out how to sort that from regular aluminum. Some people keep calling it "zinc," others call it "die cast," "pot metal," or some other variation of cast aluminum.
