    Mike turns down no scrap. He appreciates a nut or bolt just as much as he appreciates a fridge or stove. His comical adlibs to everything in his videos makes this one enjoyable addicting watch. For those of us who can't get out because of health issue's , it's like riding along and seeing what he gets into.

      I'm also stuck inside pacemaker and bone cancer. So I very much enjoy riding along with Mike. He's the best scrapper ever !!

      He does turn down some scrap. He will not take any metal wall studs. No matter how many are in the dumpsters he will not take them

    Its just incredible what he pulls out of dumpsters. We waste so much of our resources. I'm glad he repurposes and saves some of the items.

      You must be one of those "good cops" I have heard about. Not like the ones that put me in the back of the wagon for just looking in a dumpster! Lucky I hadn't taken anything out yet.. had a few interviews over the years but no charges.

  • @cmmc3400
    @cmmc3400 Год назад +2

    I love Mikes attitude! He is funny, smart and really likes what he does. Some content creators get to 500K and are bored with the process. They get their video editor to do cut and splice to fill out the video time where Mike stays on point. I like that he keeps the sound bits and jokes parsimoniously peppered into the videos. Some people have been doing the same stuff for years and it gets old. Good Job Buddy!

    If it weren't for you taking all the scrap to be recycled, it would in up in the land field and that ain't good for the environment, so thanks for doing your part to help. I am a fan and I love watching you dig around hunting for hidden treasures.

    The tub with the pipes running in/out is a fog cooler. It takes a fog machine on one end and it comes out the other end. You fill it with dry ice usually.

      @suzi_mai Год назад +3

      I would be pissed if I ran a company and saw how much my workers threw out.

    • @johannschonfeldt1474
      @johannschonfeldt1474 Год назад +1

      @suzi_mai HI. Yes, I would be. If you leave stuff like this here in South Africa, where I'm from, you will start a riot. It's unbelievable how much usable stuff gets thrown away there in old Mike's County.

  • @gregrobbins4251
    @gregrobbins4251 Год назад +3

    24:38 pretty new looking LG to be sitting on the curb. But if something really simple breaks, it can cost a lot to fix on them. LG holds on to repair info pretty tight. A relative of mine had to get an LG certified tech from a hundred miles away to come out. He told her it would cost over 300 bucks to replace the main circuit board so her refrigerator lights would turn off. Unless it was replaced, the lights stayed on, turning her fridge into a giant Easybake Oven. She bought a new fridge not made by LG. 25:02 Someone threw away a hydrant 😁
