Dumpster Diving "Rusty, Crusty Scraps"

[@lorchid23]

Thanks to MTS, I can’t see an open top dumpster without wanting to go have a little peekie poo. My husband is like “No, we’re NOT going to look in that dumpster…” 😂

[@debihalsey2247]

😂😂me too!😂

[@MikeTheScavenger]

Lol!!!

[@tanork47]

Always makes me say "Hey big oll open topppp whacha got in herreeee :) "

[@dianna3157]

He’s corrupted all of us! LMAO 💙🐼

[@lanna7917]

Lol love your photo! 😆

[@robertst.charles6937]

I definitely want to see a follow-up on this run !! For sure!!

[@ppshale7223]

Mike Mike Mike !!! Thanks for taking us along !!! I appreciate you so much!!!

[@pedrovision6987]

00:08 I'm telling you MTS...YOU are my number 1 yt goto...ESPECIALLY when I want meaningful content...and I'm serious about that...thank you for being you...now, back to the vid!!

[@alyssonrowan6835]

Damn, Mike, I envy you being able to raid all of those dumpsters - especially with the electronic and computer equipment that you pick up.

[@KPKathy-hb8rn]

My daughter had an English Bulldog named Chunk that we always called Chunky Monkey. You made me think of him. He was such a good dog. I went with my son-in-law when he had to be put down due to cancer. So sad but good memories. Love your videos.

[@kaziglu8344]

hey Mike, thanks for another great video. Sharps containers (the one with the needles/blood) is supposed to be disposed of properly, either through a pharmacy, a hospital, or a medical waste service. Some workplaces now have sharps containers in the bathrooms for the diabetics or others that have meds that have to be injected.

[@susananthony2366]

So what should he have done with that container? Are there places to take something like that if someone comes across a 'sharps' container again?

[@pogib]

I know in the last city I lived in sharps could be dropped with standard trash for residents if it was within a sturdy sealed container. I had to check after we started doing insulin shots for our cat. Businesses would probably have a disposal service, which is what that is most likely from. Ultimately check with your local city ordinances for proper disposal.

[@kevinmonroe6769]

Hey Mike I think I'm speaking for everyone when I ask for a follow up on this load 😉

[@AdamosDad]

As a radio amature I drooled over all the microwave antennas and resonant cavities. Thank you, Mike, for keeping an old scavenger entertained.

[@rcautoparts1]

I'm a radio amateur operator myself. seen that RG214 coax with , looks to be PL259's and also got excited over the antennas 's De VK6FRLR

[@AdamosDad]

@@rcautoparts1 Hello, Robert, I see Mike find so many cool electronics and radio gear it blows my mind, and he just chucks it into Dottie and it's off to the scrapyard. He is a bull in the china shop but has a hell of a good work ethic.🖐🏻73's🎙🎧KD9OAM📻

[@gorak9000]

@@rcautoparts1 That's not PL259 connectors. Hate to break it to you, but no one uses those commercially. Those are strictly used by HAMS for low frequency stuff. Probably N connectors on LMR400 or better cable. All that stuff he found is 2.4ghz or 5ghz stuff or other licensed microwave bands - PL259's don't work at high frequencies

[@petek1pml746]

And the coax cables too!

[@AdamosDad]

@@gorak9000 I just installed 2 repeaters at 200 feet both with hardline on the tower, a 440 and a 220 machine, at the base of the tower we have a fully insulated, heated and cooled shed. everything inside is hooked up with PL259. We used LMR 400, and I use it at home. That one particular HT Mike found looked to be a UHF, PL259 is sold as a UHF connector they look the same as an N connector on the outside its inside where you see a difference. The N connector has an additional shield.

[@oklahomaisok]

My parakeet started saying “Watch yo head!”….wonder where he got that?

[@dianna3157]

Awwww…that’s AWESOME! Your bird has good taste. 🤗🦜💜🐼

[@lisevivier1878]

Nothing left behind. That is how I like it

[@oldschoolace619]

Alright nothing like a MTS video to start my Friday and weekend off! Keep up the great work Mike!💪👍🦝

[@5thdimension625]

Happy FriYAY Mike and chatters, hope y’all have a great day!

[@patrickbaird290]

Your route has the best dumpsters

[@simplysandy3288]

What a great way to kick off my weekend! Go Astros!!!!! Thanks so much for sharing 💜

[@cathyharville7226]

Wow! You come across the most interesting metals! My husband is a nuclear mechanic/ trainer and it gets him tickled when I screenshoot pictures from your videos and he tells me what it is!

[@lynnjudkins9078]

Your like a whirlwind I’m blessed to watch you

[@dawnjennings4864]

Mike can you please do more curbside? I love the curbside!

[@larryd4352]

Go Astro's!!! Plenty of interesting stuff...maybe some top secret stuff for your space ship??? 😂😂😂😂

[@tanork47]

Great finds today Mike! Glad to see you remove that syringe case from the dumpster. Used to work at a pharmacy and the pharmacist had a special removal team come and collect those cases. Imagine if that ends up in the dump sites!! Also saw a few big water heaters in my neighborhood and thought "man Mike would love those!!"

[@tanork47]

@GsaUce Rug Oh no he left it but on the side of the dumpster is better then being in. I would have called it in .

[@MrWhizardsLizard]

You had me cracking up Mike. He said damn it's a heavy box right before gravity proved it on the first one you had set up there. LOL

[@SwampDonkey64]

Goodness gracious great balls of fire. Jerry Lee Lewis, RIP. Will never be forgotten ❤️‍🔥

[@denisededecker5360]

You were in your element in that electronic scrap dumpster!!!

[@wolfymaceastern6072]

[@glenpinkham4205]

There's such cool stuff in the dumpsters he jumps in where I'm at there just be trash lol

[@dawnwilkinson8717]

Great days work! The metal pigeon-hole cabinets are worth some money for those that like to decorate with the industrial theme.

[@myfavs253]

I find myself saying "there goes..." all the time now.🤣

[@cherylhuot4436]

That was quite the adventure in this video! Always fun to watch when you get so excited!!! Thanks for hauling us along on your adventures.

[@michaelmount76]

Thanks for another great video mike

[@Dal606BBN]

MTS you are so hilarious and fun to watch. Thank you for your awesome vids the past 4 or 5 years. Never a dull moment. Stay awesome.

[@donlandenberg8126]

Really nice job today. Thanks for taking us along.

[@dannyphillips2133]

Great Job thank you for sharing your experience

[@rebeccawebster3556]

All that little scrap looks great, but also seems more time consuming to process than the bigger stuff, but it definitely looks like it will be worth it! Thx for another great video!

[@AnnewithanA73]

What a haul! Having a good day makes you smile😅

[@davidrumbelow]

Great start to the weekend, thank you Sir, from Cape Town, South Africa

[@stadfeld]

Thanks for putting a smile on my face today 😃✌️🇺🇸

[@StephanieWomack1992]

I love that your brain moves constantly and makes you just constantly verbalize...... whatever....yet it all makes perfect sense.

[@AirborneMom60]

That was like Christmas in November for you.

[@eroltaskin]

Sağlığın yerinde ,neşen bol olsun ! Kolay gelsin !😊😊😊

[@lisagood1272]

You had a great night Mike ! I never miss an episode! Thank you!

[@paulsimmons9579]

Thanks for a great way to kick off the weekend!

[@MrWhizardsLizard]

I recognize that blade server as soon as you pulled it out. Looks like some business upgraded to the 21st century LOL.

[@esperanzaluquelopez5961]

Enhorabuena Miki, trabajas mucho y también nos divierte ,con tú buen humor...jejejejejeje.

[@danielduran428]

great hula Mike love all the content. You always make me laugh and brighten my day. Thank you so much for the great videos .

[@michaelschuenemann3505]

Mike had a "Wet" Light Moment - lucky him ! Dumpster Alu Goodies - Great Score ! Yes and Yes again - a very Successful Trip indeed - now You have to sort it all out ! Great Video and many Cheers from us in Australia !!!!

[@Disembodied_Voice_420]

good morning sunshine .....from new jersey

[@deborahrobinson5266]

Always love to see you get loads of scrap from the dumpsters! Follow up, please!

[@TNgrandee3]

Lots of stuff for the spaceship!!!! Go Astros!!

[@lilyrose3145]

Wow wow wow nice haul.👍💯

[@markcloutier7087]

No way that red bin of hazardous material belonged in that bin. Awesome haul in the bin with all the electronic equipment, metal and cables!

[@robertlamb7513]

I would love one of those cases I can think of so many things I can do with one

[@theupscriber65]

That laminar jet sells for a lot of money. The deck canister alone is about $250. The Delta UV sanitizer is over $650.

[@stephencohenour2920]

Remember, if you can't scrap something from that last dumpster then they must be some of those Space Ship parts. Can't wait until it's built so I can get a ride on it.

[@cleoklepzig4595]

Oh Mike this was a fun one to watch. When you scraped that plastic to see if it was metal, it sounded like fingernails on a chalk board…. Yikes. Let us know what you get for this haul, it looks interesting. Love your channel! Stay safe ❤

[@thadofalltrades]

I bet there was scrap inside

[@trasieinkersole491]

Well done ❤️💙

[@scottjoy2094]

Mike Please take note of that dumpster where you found that sharps container you never know if you might come back to that IGNORANCE again, just looking out for "Our Favorite Scavenger"!

[@robertjean659]

Great pick ups on todays vid. Can’t believe someone dump those syringes in that bin. 🇦🇺🇦🇺

[@warehouseman6325]

Nice haul scrappy

[@susanzigler668]

Those skateboard skills came in handy tonight!😁

[@jjr902]

Mike to the tire dumper: “Your a piece of ca-ca for dumping tires in here” 2 Seconds later: “oh look another steering wheel” Mike is King! 🇺🇸💪🏽

[@holly5256]

Love your video’s Mike You are the best!❤️

[@Champagne1]

Those cases would likely sell for a few bucks more than just scrap money. ♥️♥️♥️♥️🇨🇦

[@Teresa65-p2y]

Hello from Omaha Nebraska you're the best

[@robertschwartzman195]

Howdy Mike Those power amps are $$$ and are like Crown mono power amps nice find. Bumn coffee products aren't cheap and still worth resell. These server racks still good money there and might still have SAS hard drives inside. Red bucked is a Sharpes container and can drop off at a hospital or there is a number to where dropped off. My friend is diabetic and used to sealing up in a clear bag when a red bag isn't available. Other wise a nice mix of electronics. Amps may have come from a casino.

[@kwatee]

"stripping wire" I heard that differently at first and was nervous. LOL Depending on your location there are authorized collection points for sharps containers.

[@katrinamiller2438]

Great Scrapping! Love your videos!

[@goldmagnet]

Hmm I missed this episode, I only just seen it this morning. Don't think I got a notification, oh well watched it now. Excellent haul Mike.

[@rohitsaxena8632]

Good morning brother and very good work 👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍

[@keithgriner330]

Thank yo Mike excellent video, loved every second of it. Have a good weekend, looking forward to the next adventure in scrapping.😎👊🏻

[@CaptainAaron]

The least they could have done with those needles is wrap the container in plastic a bunch of times, and tape a warning sign on it "CAUTION NEEDLES" or something.

[@verapim2382]

Wow Mike what a great score tonight

[@Fergusbaddog]

I try to do my best to recycle reuse and repurpose but I got nothing on you lol. Watching your vids is like therapy, you're doing your part to recycle, bringing us along and hopefully enjoying your journey and making some money along the way! Going to share your vids with some buds!

[@johnspargrove4816]

Mike you did great tonight glad I came along hope all is good at the new house and hope the puppy's are good as well

[@ja.8077]

This is a viture of a true American!

[@danielsteward5090]

Man,Dude. You hit the electronics lick I only dream of. There is a load of good stuff there. And those QSC amps are worth a few hundred if they work. Electricity is dangerous if you play with it in high voltages.

[@fletch218]

23:40 Rest in peace, Jerry Lee Lewis.

[@y.lelivelt2619]

Finally you use the boxes where they are ment to be for.Just transporting something. That last dumpster was the best. So much different types of materials. I het you have to clean the whole evening.

[@AnnewithanA73]

Frito Lays boxes make me have the munchies. See them a lot in your travels.😊

[@paulingham7815]

Hi Mike, love the videos and your work ethic with loads of humour. You might not fill the truck every time but it’s not always about quantity , quality means more at the yard. All the best from Wales.

[@jkxtc2016]

I like when you find in this video....keeping it a surprise...but really cool stuff...those cases are very cool...you vould sell those...👍

[@mikeelmer1259]

I'm Mike and I also hilariously bought that same desk from Big Lots 15 years ago.....made me laugh when you said it.

[@tjdacatlady1920]

Don't get killed!💜💗💓

[@mikethompson4518]

Another good video

[@natinoterry7519]

I'm so so so so happy you pay attention on where step in or on and recording stuff before grabbing it! So glad you have on gloves, please keep in mind get the gloves needle poke through proof! I watch texted Picker, dude be getting good quality of stuff he be digging in trash can NO GLOVES! omgni be message saying be careful!? 🤷‍♀️

[@franktuckwell196]

Those Rusty Crusty Scraps sounded real heavy when you dropped over the side. You are what we over here in England would be referred to as SKIP RAT. Mind you over the years i have made some good finds an all. Take care when you jump in, won't you please. Great show as usual. Your enthusiasm is infectious. You can be killed crossing the street, wow, all that heavy looking metal and all that wire.

[@dianna3157]

What a great score today! You found many items to set aside and clean up on a rainy day and lots of spaceship parts, did you park behind NASA? LOL Mike, have you ever considered interviewing your electronics guy, so we can see what he does with all the goodies you bring him? Maybe for your 500K subscribers celebration? Maybe have your wife interview YOU again, and you interview her and some of your contacts? Just a thought. You bring joy to so many of us and I certainly don’t want to tell you how to make a video. All my best to you, Laura and the ADORABLE fur babies. 💜🐼💪🏼🧦🏠🐶

[@SandiM491]

I would be too scared to be around anything that, warns that I may die LMAO!!! Totally got grossed out ny the tubes of blood as well, just be careful, but as always you seem to find the interesting stuff.........I've watched all your videos at least twice, if not more 👍and it's like, as night falls, you start talking louder?? lol just teasin. nice haul tonight!!!!

Love you mike
