Thank you Mike for cheering me up. I’ve been very low since losing my little dog to cancer. I miss her terribly. You help me to think about something else and have a good giggle.
This is fast becoming my favourite channel on youtube mike is such a cheerie guy alway funny with his isims “snippits” 2and such” keep doing what you doing
First off as a homeowner. When it comes to repairs I always put the old stuff in the boxes the new stuff comes in . So when or if a scrappers comes along it makes a easy pick up for them to go to the next scrap. So some of the stuff Mike picks up in those boxes are used . Stop picking on Mike he knows what he's doing.
I have no idea why I do it, but I am totally addicted to watching your content. I guess because I was raised by a scrap merchant, spent my childhood collecting and stripping scrap, and it feels familiar. But more than that, it's your personality. You are one of a kind, and watching your videos is like going on an adventure with you. You never know what you'll find in the next dumpster, and you never fail to make me laugh out loud with your antics. Please keep up the good work. 🙂
You and magnet fishermen are cleaning up the environment! The stuff you retrieve will not go to the landfill. Who can find fault in that? Someone who isn't enjoying the fruits of your labor, is who. Keep up the good work! I would NEVER have gotten that pallet jack out of that dumpster with my muscles. You have to be an athlete and a contortionist to do what you do. God bless!
You seem to have the same troubles I do, you wave your hands around but the stuff doesn't jump in the truck. I wave my hands around but the dishes just don't get washed. We must not be magic! :)
Greetings Mike. Metal metal metal adventure time, let's get rolling. PLEASE be CAREFUL. Stay hydrated, humble and kind. Be safe,healthy &blessed always family
You are so entertaining. People should not criticize any one person who is trying to make a difference. I know from my own recycling, you have to make choices on what’s recycled as it can be so overwhelming when you are doing a one man operation.
I got caught up on a little trafficking in stolen metals charge . no big deal , worked out to about 7months in county👮♂️👐😿👎. and a extra 180 days in the hole for stashing the street light wire on I-5 when i was out on road crew! good times brother!
Oh NO. Go back and get the vinyl. You thought it was craft paper. There was sooo much of it. Wow wow on the wire that was some major copper wire. Another great dumpster dive with mighty Mike. What did you do to poor Dottie? I saw the big scrape and dent by the tire well. I don’t remember seeing that before. Although I could have missed it. Stay safe and God Bless
So I was just watching this video for the first time all that stuff he thought was paper was rolls of sticker vinyl if you find more of that I will buy it Mike.
@@apocalypsenow659 Thank you! I am so tired of people bringing up Paul, the “good Christian” who cuts cords curbside (would be different if they were already in the dumpster, but with him cutting cords with no clue if they’re in working order, it leaves no options but the landfill!) My other gripe with him is the amount of children’s bikes I’ve seen him scrap, when there is a wall at his scrapyard that people leave useful items that others may want, but not the nice “Christian”, doesn’t give them away or donate them, no he selfishly dumps them then says a prayer, what a hypocrite. 🤮 Yuck
@@dianna3157 i don't know anybody anywhere who buys used vacuum cleaners, you can buy a new one for like $20 without the chance of getting bed bugs. And several scrappers have said they've tried to sell children's bikes and they don't sell. Rewiring almost anything you're going to find at the curb is very easy to do.
I commented in last video about how heartbreaking to see such waste but I meant the waste in the dumpsters! What you are doing is saving that waste, thats a no brainer, keep doing what you do.
You're not a wasteful person. If it's in the dumpster or, on the side of the road, then it's fair game! Absolutely love your videos! I'm hooked, lolololol 🤣🤣
My Mum use to have one of those hand push mowers & she swore by it. She had 4 large gardens & always said it gave the best cut much better than a petrol mower. Mike Im addicted 5o your videos. You make my evening when Im lying in bed. All I can do to stop myself falling off the bed with laughter. Keep on scraping, keeping all that stuff out of your landfills. Stay safe & keep scrapping. Best wishes from Ireland. Happy weekend🇮🇪🥰
Dude thank you for doing what you do. Not only making my day, more importantly helping the earth by recycling. Love that you donate heaps of stuff to. You are a legend and in no way wasteful!!!!! Watch your head xoxo
Could make your self one hell of a cooling fan wall in the garage Mr Mike. Btw ya broke my heart stomping on all the plotter vinyl. All those fancy decals you see in car and truck windows is made from that. I do custom flight helmets and motor cycle helmets. That was a good 1000 bucks of color vinyl.
the guys at my scrap yrd crack up when they ask me "Whats this ? "I tell em my snippets !!! One of the yrd dudes was pulling scrap from the bck of van,bck started closing I said"Watch ur head Watch ur head " I plug the you tube channels every chance I get.
I almost screamed at him to pick it up! 🤣 Sadly most men don't know about this. It really hurt my heart because so many would have paid Mike good money for that!
Once again you prove it pays to be thorough, you got to look in every box! And ignore all the naysayers and trolls, they’re just unhappy people who love to make others as unhappy as they are. I think you’re doing a service for the environment, you’re just an over all delightful person! I love your videos and hope you keep it up for many years to come. ✌🏼❤️
i see so much money being left on the bones here and and all small pieces of wood pvc acrylic is worth something to hobbyist as well as that craft Paper lol
No you are not waistful you and all the dumpster diver safe stuff I am proud of you all,you all figure out to make extra money ,be side your regular work don't listen to others , Vivian
Mike don't listen to those people they don't realize that the metal that you take is going to be recycled if you don't take it it's going to landfill very proud of you love watching your show keep it up dude 👍😀👍
computer fans are still good. they still make them together. Those are larger then most computers take. I just think they had to many of them in stock that they couldn't sell them all. They should of unloaded them on ebay.
Mike, I have been watching you for a while now, and every once in a while I say to myself, I wish I was there, I would take …… This video is no different. The dumpster that you got all the fans out of there was a LOT of color craft paper in there. Man oh man!! I would LOVE to find all of that here! I am a crafter but live very rural, and just don’t have access to rolls of color paper like that. What a dream that would be. Anyways, great dive! Great video. 😁Thank you for another 40 minutes of fun. Stay safe!!
Take the craft paper as you call it, it’s sticky vinyl, very very expensive, you can make a lot of money from it, you can charge at least here in the uk a meter is £5 which to me is expensive.
Mike, Who knows if you will ever see boxes of those small jars with the white caps, but you can run them thru the dishwasher. It is so meditative to watch you scrounge through the dumpsters. Print t-shirts of the weirdest thing you ever pulled out of a dumpster.
Dag nabbit! I was saving this video as a reward for getting deep into my chores. Then I got calls, etc. and here I am, chores undone because Mike the Scavenger!
Mike a dumpsters hero 🦸♂️ they should be more people like mike looking after the environment well done 👍 keep it up you deserve ur angel wings stay safe respect ✊😎❤️💪
That medical monitor looked 2 me like the beginnings of a futuristic robot, fun project with some scrappety scrap art materials u come across. Make it useful with it having helpful purposes.
When my Dad mowed the grass 60 years ago, all he had was a push mower. It was such hard work. I remember him outside in the heat, pushing away. People don't know how good they have it nowadays with petrol mowers. It doesn't compare.
Decades ago I rented an apartment that had a small patch of ground about 8’x5’ that I put some sod in for my dogs. I searched high and low to find a push mower (I used them too growing up), I never had any luck and cut that patch with clippers FOR A YEAR! There are reasons those push mowers are still around. I guess I should say this was way before the internet was around, so we were limited to newspaper ads and Penny Savers to find items. So there are MANY ways people have it easy today. 😊
Hey Mike, it's not about knowing your business, but please show us your scrap runs. I so wanted to know how you did on that wire run a couple times back and this one too, it's like watching someone do 5 yards of dirt on a gold channel and not showing the cleanout, the subs bail fast on those channels. I'm just asking please show us all your scrap runs? It's a blast to watch you finding stuff and it's so rewarding to see how it pays out, I'm an old scrapper and disabled now, and watching your channel brings it all back, sucks cause I loved to do it. :(
Computers, especially older models have an ass of gold in them so one man's trash is another man's treasure. As for the other stuff, you''re right. Why not donate or scrap it. Even if you don't need the cash it helps someone down the line.
A fan is a fan.
Old or new, it will cool
You could make a WALL OF FANS in the garage to stay cool, Mike !
Thank you Mike for cheering me up. I’ve been very low since losing my little dog to cancer. I miss her terribly. You help me to think about something else and have a good giggle.
That's why I'm here put down my 🐱 kidney cancer he is a great distraction
Love & Prayers y’all losing our babies is hard..
And with Keurig you can get a reusable coffee pod so you can use whatever coffee you like. Grind your own even.
They're always going to haters Mike, just ignore them. I wish I were able to do what you do. You are my favorite!!
Wasteful? I'd rather think of it as saving the environment, one dumpster at a time.. Mike is a hero, dammit!!!
👍👍👍👍👍 exactly! nice comment.
scrappers are recyclers. keeping triple digit millions of tons of waste from going to the landfill.
Seriously, haters be haters.
I really enjoy watching your videos
Looks like you got your self a fan club. That craft paper was worth some cash. It was vinyl.
OMG...THAT VINYL IS EXPENSIVE FOR THE GUYS WITH A PLOTTER...DAM
Those jars are super. Great for crafts
You are a hero for our environment and a very necessary and needed aspect of our waste reclamation system!
This is fast becoming my favourite channel on youtube mike is such a cheerie guy alway funny with his isims “snippits” 2and such” keep doing what you doing
Lol you showed them boxes who's the boss 🤣🥰❤️
I can't believe I am watching this. It is like enjoying an Easter Egg hunt vicariously.

Good Thursday morning to you all in the USA from Wellington Somerset in the UK

Man it is a blast watching you go crazy picking all that stuff. Go get em. Hard work PAYS.
Ugh!!! I want that paper!!!!
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
A lot of people here have been reminding him what a mistake he made passing that up.
I found loads of No 1 wire, made about £25 UK pounds. My neighbour is mad as hell though, I found it in his walls. ;-)
😂😂😭💀
Haha

i'm a sign guy... that shit was probably old... not worth his time unless he wants to make signs with cheap oracrap vinyl...
So I was just watching this video for the first time all that stuff he thought was paper was rolls of sticker vinyl if you find more of that I will buy it Mike.
As scrap and pallet man says. You are just saving scrap from going in our landfield. Not wasteful. Keep up the great work.
Scavenger Mike isnt a douchy cord cutter is the difference.

Thanks for making me giggle... the juice, field dressed, ....etc.. Thanks for saving our planet.
I like the paper comment quote from Waterworld with Kevin Costner
Man you had some crafters screaming not to trash what you thought was paper in the fan dumpster.... It was vinyl adhesive back cuttable sign paper!
I thought it was vinyl also. 😭😭😭😭😭
"What's this"? Dumps it all out.
@@darinberend2103 LOL He does such awesome videos that we have to give him a hard time just to keep him humble.... LOL
I think he gets tunnel vision sometimes.
@@lanna7917 If I hadn't watched so many crafters I wouldn't have known what it was.... Not on his watching adgenda...lol
If I started doing this dumpster diving, my house would soon end up like Sanford and Son.
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 that is so me too!
I know the feeling. My yard looks like it already
Mike is not a hoarder he knows how to scrap and put this stuff away he didn't hang on to it Sanford and Son was just a big yard
My Mum use to have one of those hand push mowers & she swore by it. She had 4 large gardens & always said it gave the best cut much better than a petrol mower.

Dude thank you for doing what you do. Not only making my day, more importantly helping the earth by recycling. Love that you donate heaps of stuff to. You are a legend and in no way wasteful!!!!! Watch your head xoxo
Watch your head Dave in uk
The cart would make a great tool caddy on wheels with a few mods.
Always fun watching you do your thing in those dumpsters. Be safe buddy.
Go back! For the vinyl!!
Sadly it was starting to rain, remember? That’s why I was cringing, probably nobody else could get it in time to rescue it. 😢
"Is that one of those Sciatica's?" Priceless!
Don’t doubt the stick, “gotta be strong”!
Those paper are worth lots of money for crafting
dang those rolls of papers are vinyl, a lot of crafters would be happy to have those.. I would :)
same, such a waste
I use all Cooler Master fans in my desktop I built. Good stuff. BTW, I enjoy watching you get that scrappy scrappy.
That craft pause u seen was vinyl the dance ad they use on cars signs ect. Pretty expensive tbh.
Could make your self one hell of a cooling fan wall in the garage Mr Mike. Btw ya broke my heart stomping on all the plotter vinyl. All those fancy decals you see in car and truck windows is made from that. I do custom flight helmets and motor cycle helmets. That was a good 1000 bucks of color vinyl.

@@davidsimpson7632 its all bent and creased no good no just trash in the trash.

Hey it really looks fun what you
The cricut crafters are screaming to grab the vinyl (craft paper) it’s worth a fair amount of money!
Shot right in my heart. I have a vinyl plotter and make car and motorcycle decals. I'm sick!!!
I almost screamed at him to pick it up! 🤣 Sadly most men don't know about this. It really hurt my heart because so many would have paid Mike good money for that!
I agree man, I was crying watching him waste that stuff, that's big money to the right folks :).
It's definitely not the first time he passed up something worth a lot, due to lack of knowledge.
@Julia57 just me maybe she will make him go back and get it…. Naw he won’t!
Gorgeous glass! Reminds me of a Tiffany lamp! I hope u check it out to see who made it!
That base might be magalum alloy.
Once again you prove it pays to be thorough, you got to look in every box! And ignore all the naysayers and trolls, they’re just unhappy people who love to make others as unhappy as they are.

Mike , wish u had a trailer, all that lumber is gold right now
If we have a hurricane we'll have to put our mattresses on our windows instead of plywood.
$9.29 for a 1x4x8
How'd I miss this episode?!? Thanks for sharing this with us!!♥︎
I do vinyl decals and couldn’t stop shaking my head at all the money waisted looked like to be strong 500 in vinyl
Cheers
Good job Mike be sure and tell your mama she’s proud of you
you tossed vinyl!! good resale there
i see so much money being left on the bones here and and all small pieces of wood pvc acrylic is worth something to hobbyist as well as that craft Paper lol
All That Vinyl lettering material was worth money at a yard sale
Haters gunna hate Mike , ignore it !
Back in the day that's all I had to cut grass with lol. As long as you had it oiled up good and didn't let to grass grow to high wasn't bad to use.
And it was a patch of grass like at my grandma's house🤣
Mike you are the best scavenger.
I'd love to see some melted recovered copper wire melted down into key chains with a scavenger mike logo.
No you are not waistful you and all the dumpster diver safe stuff I am proud of you all,you all figure out to make extra money ,be side your regular work don't listen to others , Vivian

it looked more like rolls of vinyl, but yeah I would have loved that load too, as a crafter with a cricut
The colored paper, was vinyl for making stickers. I would have grabbed that, my sister has a sticker machine.
Take the craft paper as you call it, it’s sticky vinyl, very very expensive, you can make a lot of money from it, you can charge at least here in the uk a meter is £5 which to me is expensive.

That vinyl is worth some money bro.. that box is easy over 100 bucks
Fans are usually 3 sizes, 120mm, 240mm and large for the front of a gamers tower. I have 14 fans in my tower
I love that you are recycling and clean up!
You are so funny. Hi from Crystal Coast, NC

😂😂🙋♀️me too!
That crafting paper looked to be vinyl cutting paper,quiet expensive lol
Exactly what it was.
I was thinking the same thing.
yes but some of them where already shrinking on the träger
Mike a dumpsters hero 🦸♂️ they should be more people like mike looking after the environment well done 👍 keep it up you deserve ur angel wings stay safe respect ✊😎❤️💪
Your commentary was very funny today. 😂😂😂
Those fans may be dated, but they're still fans, probably still worth a decent penny.
Nah, they get all moldy and you can't eat them anymore.
Ignore that person, your never wasteful snd always thoughtful.❤
Mikey sure has fun diving in the dumpsters scrappity scrap y’all 🙀🤣
Another great day of salvaging in the Urban Jungle. 👍😎👍😎👍😎👍
"What's in the box?" 😂🤣 good movie 😂
That medical monitor looked 2 me like the beginnings of a futuristic robot, fun project with some scrappety scrap art materials u come across. Make it useful with it having helpful purposes.
Ignore those persnickety complaints. You have your way of doing things and it’s working out pretty good!
But the vinyl!!!!! Omg.... so much money.
Wow! Your just a bundle of energy tonight!lol Keep up the great work!
Send some of that rain up here to Boulder City NV Lake Mead needs it lol...
When my Dad mowed the grass 60 years ago, all he had was a push mower. It was such hard work. I remember him outside in the heat, pushing away. People don't know how good they have it nowadays with petrol mowers. It doesn't compare.

@@dianna3157 My Dad used to sharpen the blades with a file!
Great finds . Enjoyed your video and finds. God bless you and 44#
Hey Mike, it's not about knowing your business, but please show us your scrap runs. I so wanted to know how you did on that wire run a couple times back and this one too, it's like watching someone do 5 yards of dirt on a gold channel and not showing the cleanout, the subs bail fast on those channels. I'm just asking please show us all your scrap runs? It's a blast to watch you finding stuff and it's so rewarding to see how it pays out, I'm an old scrapper and disabled now, and watching your channel brings it all back, sucks cause I loved to do it. :(
You have more fans than you thought you had
The only ones wasteful are those who throw all their tools away. Or throw away items that could be given in donations. I’m amazed how much is wasted.
Computers, especially older models have an ass of gold in them so one man's trash is another man's treasure. As for the other stuff, you''re right. Why not donate or scrap it. Even if you don't need the cash it helps someone down the line.
A reel mower is the only mower that cuts grass (like scissors) . All other mowers just rip the top off the grass.
From now on, you only get to yell "Yeah!" when you get the metal over the side of the bin! Good hunting!!
