We will NOT leave any Nippets/Snippets behind - ha ! Brilliant Score on all those Ballasts ! Lots of Wire and Cable ! You had a Sweet but Cold Dumpster Diving but You sounded happy with all that Stuff - Nice S/S ! Stay Safe and many Cheers from all of us here in Australia !
"It was quick, it was simple, it was sweet, it was good. Ya." Lol only you would say that about dumpster diving. Me to friend. My brother and I loved to do this when he was still alive. The garbage gods were good to us. Thanks for the memories. 💓
Drip your faucets on opposite ends of the house. Put a sponge or towel down in the sink to make the drip inaudible. The outside wall sinks you can leave those cabinet doors open to your warm house air. But you may already know all of this 💙❤️happy Valentine's Day to you and your sweetheart!
🤩 Here,s Winter!! Thank you for mention of our beloved pets and please bring them inside, there cold precious Angel's. Thank you🤍💙🖤🐕🐈🐇🐔🦊🐘🐾🦜🐓 It's cold outside
I realize that you’re doing this for the money but, as someone who hates what is being done to our environment, I really appreciate what you do! We Americans are such wasteful people, by nature........ it’s so nice to see someone recycling and reusing everything they can! I also love the content, so thanks!
I pray that you stay safe and warm. Thank you for sticking up for the fur babies. If one person takes their pet in because of what you said.... just thank you 😊
It’s been really cold in the Chicagoland area last week and this week -7F at 7am now it 1F at 4:30pm. We’ve been keeping the sink on a drip so the pipes don’t freeze!! Yup Mike in jeans must be cold! I’ve heard you say boy it’s cold outside but you still have shorts on!
Sorry that you are cold, but I sure do thank you for your, being cold for my and others enjoyment, thank you, but be safe, and wear a jacket. or a sweaty with a hoodie take care, Love your show.
I live where it gets down to -50 below zero. We do not worry to much about the pipes in the house. We do take steps to prevent freeze up of the water line outside the house. We put old blankets down on the ground before the snow starts in the winter. It helps make a little more layer of protection if we do not get a heavy snowfall for the winter. We make sure that no snowmobiles drives over the water lines because that would push the frost level deeper into the ground.
Mike's stick is an extendable paint roller pole from Home Depot or Lowes with a heavy paint roller frame on the end. I have one also. And I made several different hook options for mine.
Hey thanks for the upload wasn't expecting a video tho, I no it's cold there appreciate ya and hope you and the Misses have a great Valentine's Day ❤️😎🤟
Woo Hoo , I love your Dumpster Diving videos ❤️ , I find such good stuff from the dumpsters too , they never let me down . Hard work but so worth it , keep up the good work and keep on diving. Be safe & God Bless you 🙏🏻❤️🤗
Just when you think that this winter wonderland would keep a man inside, there goes The Scavenger diggin' it out for us!!! Keep that dedication flowing Brother! Much Appreciated from Oklahoma City, 18 MPH wind at 6 degrees as of with a couple inches of snow so far1 PM 2-14-2021 !!!
Yeah boy its cold...here in eastland Texas its gonna be 7 degrees tonight and zero tomorrow and its been snowing all fricken day, but hey got some mike the scavenger to watch...keeps me from getting cabin fever...
Take it from someone who lives with 15 below 0 3 months of the year you don't have to wrap the pipes if you leave the faucet on Just a Touch so that the water is dripping out the pipes won't freeze
Hi most yards take the coaxial as tin shred.but I strip my coaxial to see if it has copper core and copper shielding. You should strip a bit to see if its steel or copper.
Hi Mike..Nice scrap haul..Stay safe out there and stay warm..I'm in Indiana it's 7 degrees here and we have a lot of snow still more to come and going to get colder..
Always protect your pipe Mike, wrapping does help. Can you imagine, I deal with that kinda cold 4 months out of the year (guess I'm nuts) and over 80 inches of snow to boot. Be safe and stay warm. 👍✌️
4° here in Murphysboro Illinois this morning ☃️! Thanks for another fun video. Hope y'all don't lose power. Stay safe and God bless you and your family!
First i thought i had hit the wrong channel.... Jeans on Mike...?? Must be VERY cold at your Hood!! Snibbits here and small pieces there... its piling up, like raindrops becomming a river! 😱 Stay warm out there!
They said this morning that the high for today would be -8, but right now it's -9 with -28 degrees below zero wind chill. I live on the border of IA, MN and SD.
Should have grabbed all the blue noodle like things, some for you, some for the neighbors. I'm sure they have some pipes they'll need to cover and protect too.
Come on up this way Mike we have been at below zero for weeks wind chill here today is at -30 below zero but we love are cold snowy winters take care Mike coming at ya from Wisconsin
If we were to hunker down every time it snowed we would be locked up in our houses six months out of the year. Upstate New York. LOL enjoy it while you can.
I'm in southern Idaho and they won't touch the coax cable at all. They even showed me with a magnet on some I had and it was actually magnetic, they said it's not even copper in them. Just my yard here, but .80cents a pound we do get for the telecom wire, like the ethernet wire, so that does add up pretty fast. :)
there is copper in the center of coax and an aluminum shielding braid so if you strip it there is a little value there. also if you sell it on the second hand market remember that coax labeled as RG 6 coax is worth more than RG 59. Be safe mike.
Mike, almost all yards will accept any kind of wire (co-axial, aluminum core, I mean ALL kinds) as they all are recyclable and they all contain some kinds or metal or plastic that can be re-used. If your yard does not take it, call around your area and ask. You find so much garbage wire, you should get paid for them. Philippe from Bradenton, FL
The ballast needs to be checked, I usually remove the lid and look, if it is not heavily flooded and the wire is copper, then I am happy to disassemble it, because you need to do everything with a couple of movements with a hammer so that the metal falls out)
I checked the scrap metal forum online about the coax price and it seems most are basically sneeking it into their shred as the scrapyard has no use for it. Nobody was selling it as coax for more than .05 cents per pound.
Bob I live just a few hours north of where Mike lives in Houston about 20 minutes north of Austin and we are predicted to get down to 7 degrees here for the low as well tonight. Another thing because we usually get a wet cold I hear from folks that have lived in the northern states unless you are on lake effect wind etc that say after experiencing one of our colder winters which albeit are rare they say this is worse. We have been in a deep freeze the past few days and it has not gotten above freezing. We along with several of our neighbors lost several large branches and trees due to them being covered in ice from the sleet storm including one that split and it fell on the back side of our house but luckily did only superficial damage. This for us is one for the record books as for you guys that may be somewhat normal but for us this is record breaking weather and we are in no way equipped for this crap. The roads are all shut down and iced over now and we are slated to get more of this with a mixture of sleet, snow and ice. They have even said that we are likely get anywhere from 4 to 8 inches of snow and we are also likely to get blizzard or white out conditions. We are talking Central Texas here not Minot, ND! I am a 5th generation Texan on one side and 6th generation on the other and never in my lifetime did I ever think especially in this part of Texas the words blizzard or white out would be used in this part of our state ever when talking about the weather conditions! If we drop down to negative digits for any length of time I have a feeling there will be serious power outages and pipes bursting every where as we are just not set up for this kind extended cold weather. As the popular meme states "to my northern neighbors your weather has gotten drunk and lost and right now is in my yard making a mess of things. Please come down here and take it back home where it belongs!"
Mike to get the footage on the spools check the number on the inside of the spool then the number from the outside end the difference in the numbers is the footage left on the spool.
Re: writing on bathroom stalls and alternate title ... no thanks, I have enough problems. It hits zero here at night at least once a Winter, sometimes a lot more. Gotta love a good Polar Vortex!
Love your videos! Amazed at stuff people throw out! Am from New York, temp below freezing for 2nd month in a row. .you r young yet, jumping to ground bad for your knees.. please b careful!❤
😢 Thanks for saying "bring your pets in" you're a good man.
This was the super chill, snow chill, subzero chill, frigid chill, ice chill of Texas.
We will NOT leave any Nippets/Snippets behind - ha ! Brilliant Score on all those Ballasts ! Lots of Wire and Cable ! You had a Sweet but Cold Dumpster Diving but You sounded happy with all that Stuff - Nice S/S ! Stay Safe and many Cheers from all of us here in Australia !

A lot of houses in the south don’t have furnaces. They use electric heaters and maybe Kerosene.
I am glad you're there and not in Minnesota where the temperature is in the negatives including wind chill like -35° below.
🤩 Here,s Winter!!
Thank you for mention of our beloved pets and please bring them inside, there cold precious Angel's.
Thank you🤍💙🖤🐕🐈🐇🐔🦊🐘🐾🦜🐓

You work so hard i like your video you are awesome to find the dumpster.
Mike I'm your biggest fan
I remember having to wrap our pipes in wintertime. Also leave your faucets on just a Lil stream so they don't freeze and bust.
Glad you're dressing warm. Got to admit, I miss seeing the iconic socks! 🧦
Stay warm. We are in the Texas Panhandle, we are FREEZING up here. Lol My dogs are making the fastest potty trips ever.
Stay safe and God Bless
Thanks for the poop update.
Always look forward to your adventures. I spend my downtime before bed watching your videos.
You are so amazing, love all your videos. Love your little giggles. Thank you for being you. You inspired my son to become a scavenger. God bless you.
Mike u got a lot of scrap metal and wire. We will get snow too maybe in Louisiana. Happy Valentine’s Day have a great day

Hi most yards take the coaxial as tin shred.but I strip my coaxial to see if it has copper core and copper shielding. You should strip a bit to see if its steel or copper.
I always check with a magnet for steel cores. Copper cores are rare but sometimes worth stripping👍
Happy Valentine's to everyone here on the channel . Stay warm and be safe
Yes !
Hey Mike have you ever thought in getting a motorized wire striper. You can make more money 💰 The machine will pay itself off in no time.
He has one that hooks up to a drill
He has a video showing him using one.
Motorized strippers are the best, super fast and time saving!
@@naynay4524 I still prefer human strippers :D
Thank you for another great video 👍
Hi Mike..Nice scrap haul..Stay safe out there and stay warm..I'm in Indiana it's 7 degrees here and we have a lot of snow still more to come and going to get colder..
Always protect your pipe Mike, wrapping does help.
Can you imagine, I deal with that kinda cold 4 months out of the year (guess I'm nuts) and over 80 inches of snow to boot. Be safe and stay warm.
👍✌️
You can have our weather. It's 2 degrees below zero with a wind chill of 21 below zero.

They said this morning that the high for today would be -8, but right now it's -9 with -28 degrees below zero wind chill. I live on the border of IA, MN and SD.
Texas cold is hilarious when I watch from Canada. Lol
I'm in the North East. Gotta friend in Texas complaining it's cold there. It was 60
It is 18° here today. 😁 .... I live in Northern Michigan so. But I can see your breath...that is too cold for Texas.
Should have grabbed all the blue noodle like things, some for you, some for the neighbors. I'm sure they have some pipes they'll need to cover and protect too.
Great video 👍 . You're the hardest working man I know.Jumping in and out of those dumpsters is sure a work out.💯💕
Come on up this way Mike we have been at below zero for weeks wind chill here today is at -30 below zero but we love are cold snowy winters take care Mike coming at ya from Wisconsin
i bet it is colder now than when you filmed this. stay warm brother.
If we were to hunker down every time it snowed we would be locked up in our houses six months out of the year. Upstate New York. LOL enjoy it while you can.

You be safe too Mike. Us here in Illinois is in for more freaking snow. Ugh
if your worried about your pipes freezing and it only happens once and awhile just let them run a bit flowing water wont freeze in your temperatures
there is copper in the center of coax and an aluminum shielding braid so if you strip it there is a little value there. also if you sell it on the second hand market remember that coax labeled as RG 6 coax is worth more than RG 59. Be safe mike.
If you turn on a faucet to a very slow drip, it will keep your pipes from freezing
It has to be the cold water tap

You have to make a video of you taking junk apart again that’s so cool
Get that dirt wire!👍😁👍
The cold keeps the stank at bay.
Mike to get the footage on the spools check the number on the inside of the spool then the number from the outside end the difference in the numbers is the footage left on the spool.
Hey Mike b careful out there Happy Valentine's ❤ ❤
In Michigan we have 2 ft of snow 16 degrees

Re: writing on bathroom stalls and alternate title ... no thanks, I have enough problems. It hits zero here at night at least once a Winter, sometimes a lot more. Gotta love a good Polar Vortex!
Ok. 🤝
Nice scrapin'
They don't put new ballast in. They remove ballast and put in LED bypass bulbs.
Love your videos! Amazed at stuff people throw out! Am from New York, temp below freezing for 2nd month in a row. .you r young yet, jumping to ground bad for your knees.. please b careful!❤
Here in New York coaxial is only accepted in tin shred. And most yards don't even want it then
