The "KING of DUMPSTER DIVING"

[@christinekelly2371]

I love it when you show the blown up pictures of the heavy wire w the casings around it. I've been grabbing wires on trash day, while walking my dog (for my son, to strip and recycle.)

[@edwinearl4584]

Wife: “What did you do all day?” Him: “I indiscriminately dove through numerous dumpsters throughout the town. BTW, I brought home Chinese.”

[@gerardmeehan8240]

Thank you Mike you brought back some good memories since my stroke I can't do that no more I would only advise you to get a pair of Carhartt pants

[@mdouglaswray]

"...there's a fart fan..." LOL!!!!!!! love the running inventory

[@christineharmon6129]

You could store stuff in the fridge. Lay it on its back in your truck and it’s perfect for storing wires, etc. Great you do this! ♻️

[@shrory]

This guy deservers a medal for services to the environment, the amount of serviceable stuff that is thrown away I phenomenal

[@cpandjr]

You could sell those blue cases at rummage sales Crafters would buy them

[@trasieinkersole491]

Thanks for sharing your time with us Mike. ❤️💙

[@vivianbrett3782]

Thank you

[@loosh__sii]

I would like some of those blue boxes and foam for some of my more delicate gauges and etc🌊

[@charliegodinez9655]

Those tanks would make great mini grills

[@anonimous2451]

1 man's trash is another one's Treasure.

[@williampermenter9413]

I used to do scrapping. Man, I found so much cool stuff in trash bins . Old and brand new stuff. Found new display phones when AT&T was remodeling a store. One flip phone still was in service and remained that way for 6 months. 😅. New clothes from children's store , guess old stock ? Donated them to church, helping their members and neighbors . Found new stuff I would sell to flee market vendors . Etc. Older chromed water faucets that are actually Brass $ . Old PC's for CPU 🙂. I had fun 😁.

[@blinddiecast]

legend right here, stay awesome Mike

[@damnitjanet3037]

I have to address something funny to me. Mike when you blow wind on your way to a dumpster we can hear you. And because I’m an old lady going on 12 I crack up out loud. I love your videos.

[@thedetectingshowwithjohnny3047]

Brings back memories of my younger days dumpster diving. It’s amazing the good stuff companies, and even people, throw out. The Christmas light find was my favorite scene here.

[@mrsb33]

I seriously need to follow behind you. You leave so many crafting materials!

[@rasheed7675]

In my country, the empty refrigerant tanks are popular. They are reused as coin boxes and barbeques.

[@rea8755]

I wondered why he didn't get those. Blessings to you my friend

[@al1383]

Back in the late 1980s me and my buddies use to dumpster dive in 7-11 dumpsters and get all the trashed lottery tickets. We'd go through them to find winners that people that were losers. We found a lot. Especially with a tik tac toe game. We made really good money

[@kaceesavage]

That gong is an awesome find!

[@tawnihaynie1065]

Hi mike. Great going my friend. Please take care of yourself and your family. Have a great day. 👍👍👍

[@mariehart3267]

Great Saturday afternoon entertainment

[@mikementzer7133]

Allways look forward every day you're videos are always awesome thank you keep up the good work

[@DL30Creations]

Grew up in Tallahassee, Florida and was introduced to dumpster diving when college students moved out/ graduated. OMG you would be shocked knowing what they do pitch that is of no use to them anymore. One student that lived in my apartment complex always had me check out problems with his car so when he moved out he gave me the key telling me they are scheduled out end of week and enjoy what I find. Haven't done any diving in a few years, not there anymore, but yes if you can handle it in a college town it is worth it at graduation and mid semester.

[@belindacumberland5326]

Those blue plastic boxes would have made great art boxes for kids 💙

[@conservativevicki7612]

Plus, Belinda, it would have kept them out of the landfill...but Mike has never said that that is one of his goals. Some do, some don't.

[@BarrettPvP]

@@conservativevicki7612 all comes down to how much space some people have to store the stuff they find. Mike doesn't have the storage capacity to keep all those boxes to sell or to find a place for them to be donated to.

[@lorihanlon2525]

I totally would have taken all of those blue boxes. Would donate them to a school or #repurposeproject to keep out of landfill.

[@gallardo360]

vote red save America

[@BeachsideHank]

@@gallardo360 Vote red, and we'll bleed red. Blue = true.

[@animationcycles7109]

Me, personally, I would have kept a few of the blue cases, as long as there was nice foam inside. I worked for an oil and gas company, on the assembly side. There was one tool, that had sensitive equipment inside, and came in black cases such as the blue ones in your video. Found out, they just threw them away. I stockpiled probably 30 of them and gave them to friends, that could use them for tools, firearms, etc. Really nicest cases.

[@confidenceisbeautiful]

I love to watch you and loving you talking.

[@flisms]

Had a strong urge to take a shower after watching this vid. All about being happy while you do your work, whatever it is. Everything about this is good.

[@shanepoindexter2644]

@MTS Mike, the blue "hose" at 13:45 is a power cable for a semi trailer. It goes between the cab and trailer. Should be good copper in it.

[@pathartary2644]

It’s The Gong Show with your host Mike the Scavenger!

[@oldmanhuppiedos]

Another fun scrap vlog.

[@ianbennett1491]

Thanks for keeping me entertained while in Hospital in Leeds England Mike.

[@lacymulder9453]

The containers that hold helium or air that he was picking up the pink ones if you actually pick them up and they're good you can refill them you can sell them to somebody for some good money he passed up something good right there I always have them checked see if they can be refilled if you like money that is to make

[@lynfreeman2383]

The thick cushion you trod on while you talked about the resmed parts, is a very dense, supportive foam. It’s particularly useful for people in wheelchairs to reduce the risk of bedsores, etc. Might be useful for some local charities- not for posting as they are quite heavy!

[@deedeejohnson3452]

I understand what you’re saying but seat cushions are really not good for donating as they may have been urinated on or the other. Although they’re supposed to be water proof not always so.

[@melin1969]

@@deedeejohnson3452 my wheelchair cushion costs close to $800 id take a donated one that been pissed on any day ) can be washed

[@mandycote5662]

ANYthing that is bought has someone else’s DNA on it and there are those who will donate without cleaning stuff up- just to get rid of it and have less responsibility for it

[@bigsparky8888]

I SAW THAT TOO...YUP...BEING ON DISABILITY MYSELF...I COULD USE THAT BAD BOY...

[@shake9574]

I been looking for some of that dense foam to make a booster cushion for my mom

This guy hops into the cleanest dumpsters I have ever seen

[@johnspargrove4816]

Nice find on the Christmas lights another fun night in the dumdsters can't wait for the next one

[@LizaTerraASMR]

Great scraps 😎

[@ThatPartyDog]

I go out to harber freight and oh boy do they throw out crazy stuff. I got 4 brand new dolleys two toolboxes and a hell of a lot more this week

[@tomasgilbert9491]

Another Waterworld reference goes unnoticed... LOL

[@MikeTheScavenger]

I noticed

[@mucho73cobbcobb95]

Mr. Mike if you take a few buckets you won't need no stinking boxes! And even half or 3/4 full they stack into each other. Smarter not harder buddy. Love yo sho!

[@CHEESEMAN88]

LOVE THIS CHANNEL I SPENT YEARS DIVING LOTS OF GOOD STUFF FOUND

[@manicbanana]

Glad to see a clean way to scrap metal. Where I’m from you can follow the scrap people around town by the mess they leave around the dumpsters

[@sallyg1901]

Hubby is addicted to your videos…talks to you all the time while you’re picking and prodding through stuff lol! I sat with him for this one and he stopped the video near the beginning to comment on your bed-head hair (seen on your shadow). Thx for keeping him interested AND entertained! Love from Az! ❤️

this is what I love about dumpster diving, you never know what you will find plus it helps the environment! another great dive.... inspired me to go out there and dive and film lol thanks

[@kathleenjenes8401]

I love guys like this---just think of all the things that are not going to a landfill because of him, to say nothing about the fact that he's recycling stuff that is easily converted into useful items.

[@shawnkelly695]

So many people throw out everything. Copper tubes, wire, stainless and everything metal. The landfill is a good place to go. Not many places complain unless make a mess.

[@thingsofdoing4507]

Land fill full of itchy dog hair now thou

[@jmsblk1]

I think they use magnets at landfill sites to remove all the metal for recycle anyway, I could be very wrong though.

[@Kkkkkklkkllkklkkllkkkkkkk]

Don't forget about the cans easy nickel😂🤣👍good vids

[@OldsmobileCutlass1969Va]

Mike doesn't take cans... Because they bring bugs.

Lots of fun Mike! That blue cable at 13:47 looks like the power cable for a pool robot.

Yep. That's what I said.

[@MrStreetmedik]

Would love to have those blue plastic cases.

[@milainenolan9663]

After the blue boxes dumpster, the next dumpster had some medical supplies. You were standing on a special wheelchair cushion called a Roho. New, they are around $400, used is $200-300. Be on the lookout…

[@perz777]

One man's garbage is another man's treasure. Only a handyman knows the price. With that it is worth around more than a day's work.

[@nicholasalonzo7824]

Man, i was on the road yesterday. And saw lots of metal scraps on the roadside, in a particular neighborhood. You know that i starting saying, " Look scrappy scraps, my scavengers.... Like my bro Mike.... Great channel my friend. Nico from Trinidad and Tobago.

[@michaeldickens7493]

Hi Mike love your videos I watch all the time

[@JuarezDerrick]

You can sell all them blue boxes online, people use them for medical kits and gun storage.

[@u.s.militia7682]

I used to dumpster dive on Ft. Campbell and an apartment complex in Hopkinsville Kentucky where soldiers lived. The army throws away very expensive trash.

[@johnkranz4004]

Nice Haul Mike

[@drfill9210]

I'm only one person who loves to reuse junk- but I can't collect it all- it's good to see someone is scrapping stuff properly... Currently concentrating on printers, trying to recycle the pcbs myself, but also I cut the plastic into squares, which have proven quite useful! Also re purposed the glass in the scanners for a fume hood...

[@roberthardy2013]

Don’t you be ringing her bell when you get home though - another great vid! I do second that comment about the blue boxes being good for a school or something, being married to an ex teacher (50 years yesterday) they would love stuff like that.
