I'm a security guard at a mall and I always look the other way when I see dumpster divers when I'm the only guard on site. If the businesses throw it away they shouldn't keep people from taking it.
If it is on garbage, trowed away, it is garbage, anyone should pick it!! Its no longer property … what a mentality!! Donate is better than put it on garbage it is very selfish atitude and mentality…
Thank you. A lot of stuff thrown away should be recycled if not caught by a dumpster diver. I hate that people just toss everything into the garbage. And it's great that people can make money by diverting the stuff from a landfill. 😊
The lids are not only cherished by canners but crafters use them to make various ornaments. But the best part of you finding them is you kept them out of landfill. Like all the rest of your found treasures. Many Thanks.
'This' is my favorite scrapper channel!! Mike doesn't have a shy bone in his body when he approaches the dumpsters, and he jumps right in and rummages around inside looking for treasures like the Tazmanian Devil.
That's the best way to do it. Sometimes people will hide stuff for some reason. This is the best time of year to go. Businesses are cleaning out old inventory and they often throw it away as a tax write off.
Back in the 60s when I was a little girl(loving, the grandma life these days! ) there where still honest to goodness dumps - stuff wasn’t buried on a regular basis ever. My Mom and dDad would go to the dump and dig around. There was a lot of nasty stuff but there was also some true treasures. Furniture, tools, antiques, all kinds of good useful/sellable stuff. Lots and lots of scrap metal. Fun times!!
10-15 years ago, I was a property supervisor for 6 different apartment complexes. I had a couple of guys that scrapped for me. They would show up and haul out old appliances and water heaters from the the buildings as needed along with all old brass hardware, locks, everything metal. They had an old truck and trailer, A normal week was 1 or 3 frigs, 4-10 dishwashers, 2 or 3 stoves, and several hundred pounds of assorted metal.
So much Stuuuuufffff, your enthusiasm is boundless. You go for the little stuff and after that anything large is a bonus. Thanks for preventing all that needless landfill
Can we scrap electronics for cash here or have we. Got to give it to the council for free.? I haven't got enough to take to the scrappy to find out but I could get enough if I could sell it!😉
Don't think those are lids for standard Ball/Kerr type canning jars. Looked like for the medium sized pickle jars. Maybe Mike could take a few minutes to check if they fit Ball type jars or not.
Mike ! Mike! Mike! Thanks for taking us along! Aw man that knee bang made my old knee hurt !!! I appreciate you so much! Stay safe stay great and keep up the good work!!!!
Oh man Mike!! I just love your videos!! You're so funny! You're such a hard worker!! You not only make my day better... but you make thousands of people happy 😊. Stay safe ❤
The StarWars scene when Luke and Hahn are stuck in the garbage compactor always comes to mind when Mike's really getting after it. And as any real scrap man knows getting after it is the only way to be successful in this line of work. As my big homie Gates says, "big steps, move in silence." Keep getting it Mike, JunkinJakeJones
Sometimes truckers are forced to throw away damaged cases that have perfectly good product in them. I once had a pallet of brisket that was refused by a consignee because the boxes were crushed and my dispatcher just told me to find a dumpster and toss it. I ended up seeing a church van in a Walmart parking lot and asked if they wanted it all. I helped load it into their van and kept a brisket for myself. They were appreciative for the 500lbs worth of meat.
Wow! best scrapper Ive seen. When I found you I did a binge watch & am finally up to date. I love your dialogue and antics. You keep me smiling. May you always find "good" trash.
Love it when you find alot of good, easy scrap! You definitely deserve the fruits of your labor. I always enjoy your videos. Scrap on Mike. Stay safe 🙏 ❤️
One time I found a whole butt load of keys in a dumpster. Between the mountain of keys and a couple brass fittings I also found I filled up a 5 gallon bucket. That was a decent turn in.
Well done Mike. The person that chucked the lids in the bin isn’t the brightest person. They could of got a few quid and done some recycling. Unreal what folk throw away. Glad you are taking advantage of numpties Mike.
Awesome video man I've been watching all your older videos also I really like when you mix the dumpster diving and the curbside together you find some pretty awesome stuff but most you make me laugh a lot thanks for the laughs
I saw this to check it out. Your funny & having a great sense of humor too! You got some very interesting stuff & I like the part you heard a peeping nose& BAM!!
Thank you Mike for keeping those batteries and ballasts out of the dump, along with the wires and anything that would have otherwise ended up in a dump or landfill.
I have only watched 2 videos from your channel and I can’t believe how much stuff you find. It’s amazing how much of that stuff you pull out is not meant for trash dumping and it pleases me dearly to see you pull it out and scrap it properly, keep up the good work Mike!
What is scary....there is just so much more that just gets tossed into the landfill...UGH!! I find my share of stuff. This guy Mike....LEGEND of SCRAP!!
I am one of your followers and I love your channel. All of your videos mix vitality, effort and love at the same time. I really liked and appreciated it. Good luck.
We should be thankful guys like this salvage things from the trash. Cities have gone with designated trash cans for use and have killed free roadside picks. They need to rethink that
Right on my friend!!!!!!! I made a good living scrapping years ago.love to see your videos and hope you fill your truck each time you go out!!!!!!! $$$$$$$. Oh yeah!!!!!! God bless 👍👍👍👍👍❗❗❗‼️
Those lids were EXTREMELY hard to find after the pandemic started! Trust me… my dad and I searched far and wide and spent more money on them after we finally found a few!
Happy weekend Mike and Laura, Your the king of the lids ! Those monitors are touch screen Point Of Sale systems. The screens with the credit card readers could be a part of a restaurant where the staff pit in their orders. I still have a few of them when they modernized the casino pit area. Nice scrap run tonight. As for those locks they might been in a hardware store and discontinued the locks and Cheaper to toss them out.
Hey Mike, Why don't you try to sell all those lids. I'm sure you'll find a lot of people that can their own veggies, sauce and so on. Nothing better than a great deal on lids. That's what they have to buy every year. Take care and be safe.
Depends....on the size of the jars that they will fit on. If they're not standard canning jar sizes like the wide mouth or regular mouth. From the video they kind of looked like the size you would find on the medium sized pickle jars.
@@donaldcadwell3911 That is what I am thinking too. But, I reuse all jars and so do my Amish friends up here nin northern mo. They would love for me to work a deal and get some cases of them lids. Shred steel is what, $.03/lb right now. And shipping ups would be cheap. Right price and I might snap them all up!
First impression: This guy must have an enormous warehouse to store all this junk. Second impression: It sounds like he turns the electric stuff into ca$h in one way or another... EDIT: Third impression: Actually this guy is doing a really significant job that in many countries is handled by the local government, municipality etc. That is at least my impression after watching his May 6, 2023 video "Scrap Yard Time". He sorts the garbage into all the professional recycling garbage fractions and makes the stuff ready for recycling. Both thumbs up for this guy!!
I wish I lived near you so I could purchase from you those jar lids! I was having a heart attack seeing all for those. Around here those type of lids sell for 29 cents each!

@user-bp6wo5ie8t me and you got the same idea this dude must know scarface
I tried to sell a water heater at the scrap place and they wouldn't take it they said it had too much insulation.
just think of the environmental service he is doing by recycling this metal!
You're doing a great service by keeping so much stuff out of the landfill !

It is early evening in the UK, it is great to see another dive from the greatest "Mike the Scavenger" 😍😍😍😍
Can we scrap electronics for cash here or have we. Got to give it to the council for free.? I haven't got enough to take to the scrappy to find out but I could get enough if I could sell it!😉
I turn scrap metal into precious metals, Gold and Silver! I have dove into dumpsters.....not like Mike does!! WOW man!! You are a legend!!
I do the same with the motherboards ( Platinum Group Metals ) found in all electronics .
The beeping and then the explosion... scared my cats with my laughing! 😂😂
You were blessed richly on this night! Don't forget to thank God❤
MAN, THOSE CANNING LIDS ARE GOLD TO US CANNERS.
Don't think those are lids for standard Ball/Kerr type canning jars.
Looked like for the medium sized pickle jars.
Maybe Mike could take a few minutes to check if they fit Ball type jars or not.
No wonder pickles n stuff are so costly in the socalled US of A .
I know I love to get everyone else's junk to add to my junk
Could use some of those lids. . 😀
For sale by the dozen ???
I can’t explain it, but this video feels like the therapy I’ve been needing lately.
That beeping was to hilarious beep beep beep Boom 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂 Mike you certainly are one of a kind don’t ever change my friend 😄😄😁😊👍🏻👍🏻
Your dumpster diving agility is amazing. All those lids in the trash is angering. Love seeing you salvage them! 👍👍👍
sell them to someone who likes to can and make stuff in mason jars. sell by the poi d
Mike ! Mike! Mike! Thanks for taking us along! Aw man that knee bang made my old knee hurt !!! I appreciate you so much! Stay safe stay great and keep up the good work!!!!
Oh man Mike!! I just love your videos!! You're so funny! You're such a hard worker!! You not only make my day better... but you make thousands of people happy 😊. Stay safe ❤

Great night, a full truck load Mike. Love it!
As a canner, I would be in tears to find so many lids
Not too long ago we couldn’t find lids! Now i pick some up anytime i see them.
@@rosie9714makes me wonder why they were thrown out.
I would check where they were manufactured. I try to stay away from places that like to add lead.
As a crafter I would have struck gold finding those lids.
All those lids makes me sad canning lids are expensive
Mike, the most cultured scrapper. Speaking in tongues and such 😁
Muchas Gracias!
Absolutely love you Mike the scavenger. You are so full of energy. You make scavenging fun…
Thanks for keeping us entertained!

Years ago we used to trash pick. The amount of valuable stuff we found was amazing
@Mike the Scabber, you're my hero.. I love all your videos of scabbing.
Loved the "there's something beeping in my truck, then boom!"
Thanks for the adventure,Mikey!!!!!!
For all the young folks watching. If you hustle like this fella, I don’t care if you are a professional dumpster diver, you will find success.
Wow! best scrapper Ive seen. When I found you I did a binge watch & am finally up to date. I love your dialogue and antics. You keep me smiling. May you always find "good" trash.

Wow, productive night, Mike!! And the neutron bomb footage was hilarious 🤣
That actually made me jump!! 😂😂
All that fun in a dumpster and getting bombed in the same night. These are the things dreams are made of.
At least this dude can make dumpster diving sound exciting.
Looks like you have found a mother load Looking forward to you doing your update tomorrow.♥️♥️♥️Be safe out there.
It was the scrapity doodah's for me! I thought I was the only one whos energy was just as enthusiastic.. love it !!
One time I found a whole butt load of keys in a dumpster. Between the mountain of keys and a couple brass fittings I also found I filled up a 5 gallon bucket. That was a decent turn in.
Mike, show us how you process the wire that you find. Love watching you scavenger!
Mike you are one of my superhero channel which I enjoy watching,thank you for saving our only beautiful planet.lots of item should not go to landfill.

Well done Mike. The person that chucked the lids in the bin isn’t the brightest person. They could of got a few quid and done some recycling.
Unreal what folk throw away.

Great haul Mike and the explosion just caught me off guard! 👍
😂 Can you imagine walking past the dumpster Mike is scavenging in while he starts to make this noise? 😂 22:22 😂

What kind of lids were they please?
@@petsrgr8t they are just normal canning lids.
Makes you wonder if they ran short in the stores on purpose!!!
I cringed when I saw them. What a waste . I wish I had found them.
Those are not mason jar lids. They fit other type of jars like pickles or something.
Mike I like your videos please don't stop you make me laugh when I watch your video I'm 64 years of age

This guy got full positive energy, loves his work, get lot of gold nuggets , lovin it bro
All those cases of lids can bring a lot of money to sell. Probably more than scrapping them. Canners would be so happy with those lids.
Yes they would. Not so much if they're made in China.
For sure canning lids got real hard to find ! Sell them suckers
Depends....on the size of the jars that they will fit on.
If they're not standard canning jar sizes like the wide mouth or regular mouth.
