      He is extremely thorough in his searches. He gets right in there. No cherry picking there. And the proclivity to go through it all and duly process it all thereafter. Its one thing to fling it all in the back of the truck and its yet another thing to deal with it all again.

    Yea, I admit it ... One of the very best dumpster divers out there for multiple reasons. The best reason is that you don't play around with it. You see it, you grab it, & you clean up your mess.

    After watching other scavengers on You Tube, you just became one of the best, (if not the "bestest".) You deal with stuff most people don't, even though this is a very important part of our lives. Just be careful (as much as you can) with some of the dangerous chemicals you might find in a dumpster. My heart to you amigo, you are good. Greetings from Toronto.

    I live in Columbus Ohio and after watching you make so many good scores from the dumpsters, I decided to give it a try . The first one I opened 2 crackheads jumped out of and ran screaming down the alley , the second had 5 people and they were sitting around a pentagram painted on the bottom of the dumpster , and they all had a Cabbage Patch doll in their hand with no feet . I didn't want to find out what was behind door number 3 , so I went home.

    Mike you are a true environmentalist, not those fancy pants flying all over the world to talk about saving the planet. I carried home a lot of stuff myself over the years and repurposed a lot of it. So watching your dumpster diving makes me giddy. Oh the stuff I would save. But my body is giving out and I cannot jump in and out any more. So you are giving me happy times watching you. Keep up the good work and don’t let those “ this is my garbage cans and keep out of it” idiots get you down. Just remember the FBI also dumpster dive when the need evidence for a case and it is legal!

    32:29 - hard drive trays for PC expansion
    38:42 goes on the back of your PC tower to protect the ports
    40:10 - replacement part for PC, the dumpster was probably full of a tech's storage for repairs
    49:25 - hard drive mount
    44:58 - flux, for soldering
    keys - probably for locking docking stations
    hope that helps for the future

    I work in IT. 90% of what you found was all for server racks. Someone cleaned out their data center or were leftovers from a new server rack install that they did not need or want. The Dell/EMC stuff were server fronts for the servers in the rack. They look brand new & are expensive. Most of the misc. hardware was for server rack cable management. They keys were for the servers so you can physically lock them. Great find! :)

      Yes it is!!! I am a very conservative guy and it sickens me. I scrap too! I have furnished my place with good things others throw away! I would say many people have gone a bit liberal with the things they have and just toss away. If not for guys like Mike, myself-Mike...and others. There would be so much more in the landfill. I work with guys who do remodeling of homes. I always tell them i take anything with metal on it. Usually they set it off to the side of the container. Often times I do check in the containers. And WOW what i still find that would end up in a landfill. Just pulled out about 30 lbs of copper wiring out of a container the other day. Another time the guys tossed 2 cast iron sinks in the container. I said all you had to do was put it off to the side and I would grab it. I could only get the one out myself....about 125 lbs. The other one was buried under so much debris. I was a bit pissed!! As the conservative that I am...i try my best to conserve the environment! Just got my electric bil. I used 45 kwh to heat my home vs the avg similar home that used 1050 kwh! I cannot imagine what their bills are!! IMHO, most people in the US are way too liberal with things!!

      This looks like a normal cleanout to me. It's all accessory pack stuff. With every order from HP you get power cords, slot covers and such in the scope of delivery. Most of it is not needed, so it will pile up in your warehouse.

    Those are card brackets. They mount on the edge of a card, and they hold the card down, in a computer.

    Category 5 wire has 4 twister pairs of wires. The number of twists in each pair will cancel out the interference (cross talk) of the neighboring pair. Cat 6 may have different characteristics to accommodate the higher frequencies of emerging technology.

    Those trays are actually blinds, used in harddrive slots when no drive is present, to ensure proper airflow in the server. You had one proper tray there though, the one with the metal plate in the bottom. They arent worth much as a part tbh. What you got there is typical leftovers after a server installation; boxes with leftover blanking plates and such for PCI slots, front bezels to servers, various mounting stuff for rackmounting, loads of powercables etc. I've done numerous such installs, and that what the leftovers tend to look like.

    Hey Mike you need to keep a couple of 5 gallon pails hanging from the top of the fence on your truck so you can bring a man and take but 5 gallon pails of all let loose stuff out. It would save you a lot of time take the bucket out empty and then put it back in the dumpster

    Chip handlers. When I dismantle servers like the old raid systems from Sun you might be surprised what is in them.

    The black plastic "trays" are drive slot dust covers. The silver things are expansion slot covers. you did have a couple of HP Drive carriers. Those power cables are from servers and carry 2 10 gauge stranded wires and a 12 gauge ground. Probably have 50 to 100 bucks in copper in just those. The thermocool flux is heat sync thermal transfer compound not a good brand though but it works.

  • @2013Rango

    The stuff in the tubes are thermal paste, that's used on the processor of a computer before a heat sink goes onto it to help cool off the processor so the cpu doesn't over heat. It also can be used on graphics cards gpu chip to cool it off too, the thermal paste could be worth some money to someone that builds pcs.
