Dumpster Diving "There's A Police Officer, RIGHT THERE!"

[@gerrymoore8205]

Mike I love watching you. It's been over a little over a year I lost my son sarcoidosis it is a long disease. I've been down that one long lonely road until I came across you. He was only 42. When you come out with a new video it makes me smile and think of him he would be doing probably the same thing. You even sound like him thank you for bringing a smile to My Lonely Heart. Keep up the fantastic job. Please be safe and be careful. Mama

[@I-am-not-a-number]

I am sure that you were the best Dad to him.

[@Azoreanislandgirl64]

My Deepest sympathies ti you Gerry. 🙏 Mike will cheer you up and laugh.

[@funnyfunkinmonkey]

Your boy is always with you! Love to you stranger

[@dianna3157]

@@I-am-not-a-number Your kindness is very sweet and most likely appreciated, but I’m going to go out on a limb here and say since it was signed “Mama” that Gerry probably wasn’t a Dad. 🤷🏻‍♀️💜

[@jayvoodovanquishdamagicman676]

[@ontariopicker6343]

I thought fer sure he was going to lite a cig afterwards lol

[@Finallyretired2022]

I was waiting for 18 yr and older warning

[@AcidFlash123]

I wanted to apologize, turn the light off, and walk away quietly.

[@siddupuy5666]

Mike, that RVLock is about $150 or so. What a great Dumpster run!

[@susantaylor4340]

Awesome haul Mike! I'm out with carpal tunnel surgery right now, so I need my scrapping fix. My sister is supposed to help me next week, but until then I'll just watch your videos to help. Keep saving the earth!!!

[@ogreeno9314]

Me all day walking around the house, "what we got here yall". The kids must think I'm crazy.

[@Hacksaw37]

Kind of glad the dumpsters calmed down a bit those first to were making you a little to happy for a family show. 🤩

[@robertschwartzman195]

Mike that bag of goodness was fantastic you found in the backward dumpster. May all your finds be good. Save that shrink wrap.

[@jotterson1156]

Like a loot box on his quest

[@squirrelorama]

I love it when the guy in the dumpster finds actual trash and is all annoyed like "What's THIS garbage?" 🤣

[@mdouglaswray]

Always impressed at the volume of perfectly-good materials being binned. GREAT that you're there to catch it!

[@josephwaynick3871]

How many time have you found a person sleeping inside of a dumpster?

[@surindergill5878]

Just subscribed…. I came here from watching Canadian Treasure Hunter. He mentioned u on a video. He does mostly street scrapping but like you takes more everything he can.

[@alicestensland2873]

You can tell you enjoy what your doing 😊

[@murlbailer3755]

I got my Mountain Dew, York Peppermint patties and Mike the Scavenger. Who could ask for anything more? Looks like a Bazinga night.🐎✌️

[@mr_jake.y8348]

Man you are killing it tonight Mr Mike.

[@duckymeejs]

Crazy how excited I get when you find a bunch of wires in the dumpsters! 💁‍♀️ When I squeal, I get some crazy looks! Score! Oowww! 🙂😳🥴

[@leattaslone1800]

That was an awesome goodie bag! I love the dumpster color! That’s called Chartreuse green. I once painted my bathroom that color! It was wild! Lol

[@rosaliezatser1980]

[@Champagne1]

Mike you could have baged up or used a box to grab those bins. But Hokey Wow that was a Fabulous haul. Good for you. ♥️♥️🌈🌈🇨🇦

[@dianavelicu8136]

Hello from Caracal, România.

[@edmann8084]

Thanks for the adventure!!!

[@rebacunningham3773]

Love scrapping with you, its alot of fun...thanks mike😊😊😊

[@Finallyretired2022]

I would think the bins would be great for garage sales.

[@jamesfink7555]

Spoiling us with nonstop vids... Keep em coming Mike! Stay blessed

[@johannafsg9305]

WOW Mikey, you are doing really good today.. Happy to see that. 🙂😺🙂😃🙂🙃🙂🙃

[@briankriss7310]

Those blue bins are not cheap you should have went back for them. Nice dive

[@lemonyskunkketts7781]

You need a small trailer for these big nights. Great finds

[@graciescott8034]

Thanks for all the videos and scrap yard runs!

[@ronv.d.m.8652]

Man you know how to pack your truck. When you first saw those cabinets I thought that there was no way that you would fit those into your truck. Great job, Mike, really great job. By the way, those casters (depending on what they are made of and their size) can sell for a lot on ebay.

[@timbowhite3215]

Afternoon Mike The Scavenger

[@Pandora_369]

New Scavenger video?! Drop everything y'all!!

[@michaelschuenemann3505]

Great Conduit's - Wire and Smalls ! Brilliant Score on those Metal Cabinets and the Master at Work doing Drawer Stacking - ha ! Great Dumpster Diving Evening ! Looking Forward to the Follow Up Video ! Truck is Full ! Love the Video and many Cheers from us in Australia !!!!

[@christinekelly2371]

'Fast finger freddy' free styling in his element, the dumpsters! I LOVE IT!!!! What man needs expensive toys/hobbies??... just give him a dumpster to play in, all good!! 😁

[@stoveboltlvr3798]

That's a VAV box (spaceship part) used in HVAC. It has a damper that increases or decreases air flow to a particular area of a building controlled by sensors. Some are hot water/cold water for temperature some have electric heating elements. Nice haul!

[@christinelowery3524]

Great dumpsters tonight. Well deserved.

[@rng3769]

I have a question for you,,Do you pull the wire out of the aluminum or do you leave it in ,,I hope you take it out to make more money. ..Rob the junk man sunshine state...

[@patrickmorrissey2271]

Great job. All that copper... I got lightheaded, just watching.... Those cabinets were amazing.... And the tops, I mean, if you know anyone building a workbench or something, those are great.... You seen lumber prices lately??? Heh heh!

[@at0mix197]

Lots of good finds for an electrician, with all that BX, SOOW cord and Raco stuff.

[@TheTyReid]

You make my day Mike! Love when the music starts kicking in on some heavy moving scrap!

[@aaronvanauken9706]

Thanks Mike! Great night!

[@franceszetts6874]

Great, this stuff is not going to garbage pile BUT will reuse in good way. Neat, needed, good job

[@marypowers3589]

When I watch your videos I feel like I am scrapping with you

[@briancoleman9314]

Man I missed this video when it came out and I probably missed the follow-up that came through with it which I cannot seem to find on here either so I came back to this one to go ahead and throw small comment on it . I've been looking for a set of decent cabinet drawers like that for my little ain't home office but every time I find a decent set of damn things are so expensive drives me crazy so it's me that's one hell of a find you found you can take a number of those excess pallets that you keep finding as well and you can take a hand sander with some wood glue send them down first take some extended clamps and the wood glue glue them together overnight resend them down and make yourself a table top and then you can add your varnish and whatnot to it to make it look decent these are just some ideas for you as well

[@rebeccawebster3556]

Dang!! You about hit the dumpster lottery that night!! Can’t wait to see the follow-up video!!

[@neil6212]

The things with the blue cross part, and plastic tubes are for measuring air flow through a duct, in conjunction with a manometer as the indicator. One popular use is to determine back pressure, indicating the need to replace air filters.

[@nachostuff]

The wire fairy was in Texas this week! Great Scores! Happy Hunting

[@DixieAnderson-h3h]

NO ONE CAN PACK LIKE MIKE, HE GETS IT ALL IN BABY!!! DIXIE IN THE RAIN TODAY

[@jodiramsey2754]

I would absolutely love to find bins like the blue ones you saw. I have, however, found the really big red ones and took as many that would fit in my van !

[@josephcormier5974]

Great scrap session thank you five stars

[@anndefauw1161]

Awesomeness, stay safe stay blessed stay amazing 👏

[@mrkipling2201]

It’s crazy, when I was scrapping and bin diving full time, I would have the odd day when I would find loads of great scrap straight away. Or every place I would visit on my route would have loads of scrap thrown out. I used to love those days!!

[@davidthimell2726]

You could always call Laura to have her come to take the rest

[@jvjdrn]

Another great adventure! Thanks.

[@dalesworld1308]

GREAT night of picking! Those DeWalt tools don't look like they were even used much.

[@scambaitnaansense512]

Great finds once again Mike can't wait for the follow up vid

[@jjr902]

Nice haul. PLEASE DO A SCRAP YARD RUN VIDEO FROM THIS HAUL! Wanna see how those cabinets paid off! Or if you sell them used.

[@jamescantrell2313]

Mike had a "Wiregasm"!!! 😂

[@legionsherwood2163]

Very interested in watching this video. Yeah I am commenting early. Keep it up Mike.

[@steelandtree3133]

Mike, I would keep a few 55 gallon contractor garbage bags in the truck for when you find those large quantities of parts bins. And the plastic boxes with the handle, those could be used for something. If it's a "takes up to much space in the truck" I completely understand. I'm a vendor at a flea market so I'm always on the lookout for stuff to resell. Good video, thank you.

[@Stonednaustin]

It’s a Varible air Ventury box with a preheat element , and the pieces with the red and blue hoses are air flow monitor stations , I am interested to see the cabinets , might be interested in them . I live about 2.5 hours from Houston

[@stevejones2477]

Best scavenger on KZbin I'll be as good one day

[@michelebroyles6941]

I'd love those cabinets for a retro styled kitchen.

[@donnac.3268]

👍🏻 im a older & disabled gal with OCD i like things neet & tidy all the time, but dang! I sure like your digging for scrap and such, and pray you don't get any cooties or other icky things from those dirty bins. I always give you a 10+ ❤ if i could i think I'd join us for a digging/scrappin session for some snippets &such.

[@AdamosDad]

Awesome haul Mike!

[@stephensugalski6177]

scrappity scrap 😅🤣😂 now that would make a good shirt !

[@phantom629]

That big metal box you found in the dumpster is a variable air volume box its part of a building air conditioning it might have some copper and aluminium inside it

[@stevenbergstrom3308]

Great night nice haul but I always leave the tops behind if they already removed them put them in the dumpster or next to it

[@sticustom]

In Australia one of our major retailers offered cash back on TVs. You’d take your tv in and they’d give you a discount for it once you bought a new tv. Some people went out to the dumpster and were taking the tvs that were dumped in there. They were arrested for stealing. Once the tv is in the dumpster it becomes the property of the dumpster owner. You’d find the tvs would have gone to land fill, those taking them would have broken them down for the metals.

[@dannyphillips2133]

Nice stuff in this voyage

[@elainetunnell1605]

you r so funny,love it when you find wires.

[@629Justme]

Hey mike. I was wondering if you ever thought about making some kind of motor scrapping jig so you can get top dollar fro your motors. Many motors separate from teh copper stator coils easily because they are mainly made to friction fit in. If you could remove the rotor, you should be able to figure out a way to push/pull the stator coils out. Three hooks to grab the inside of the coils mounted in a way that when you push down on a lever, you pull the coils out. Now each motor gets cast iron value and copper value. Idea?
