@@stevesutter2562 that's a bit of a gray area. And subject to local laws recycling dumpsters both commercial and private are no nos . most states any garbage can for a residence that has been set by the roadway for collection is fair game. Most of the state's have a clause that it becomes public domain at that point and open to being go e through and the items are completely legal to take with you. While this is a boon for scrapers. It's not there to make it easy for them. rather it is a law they enacted to make it so the police do not have to get a warrant every time they want to search a garbage. Whether it's at a crime scene or if they are just suspicious of the people in a specific type. As far as retail store dumpsters. If the dumpster is enclosed in a gated area and the gate is closed it is best to leave it alone those get the police's dander up. They claim its breaking and entering. But if it's in the open and unlocked. Your usually ok. Just remember the golden rules . be quiet especially at night. Nobody wants your causing a huge amount of noise. Do not leave a mess when you leave. Thats one I got on others divers about a lot. I would actually carry a broom and shovel and stuff witg me and clean up any messes at dumpsters . even if I did not make it. It kept the businesses from looking to stop divers. If it's questionable leave it . I have found . it's an adventure.
As a former security officer who had to politely told a few people that they couldn’t dumpster dive here. It’s not because of the owner of the property had a problem with someone who was emptying out a dumpster. It’s because if the dumpster diver got hurt the property owner could be liable for any injury and that’s the biggest reason why many companies don’t like people dumpster diving is because they don’t want to be sued in case of injury.
Welcome too the land of throw it all away!! I found a 6mth old kitten at recycling center 2days before a hurricane, she's 5 1/2 now. Pumpkin is my sweety. You can find alot dumpers diving!!! Lol
You never know what you'll find in a dumpster. People make huge mistakes dumping stuff. Personal friend found 10 - $100 bills in an envelope once. Also a quarter carrot diamond taped to a file card. Constantly found gold such as broken jewelry. Your doing good Mike. Lots of energy in you. Sorry about your dog. Not easy losing a friend. Many blessings.
I had a Dachshund for 4 years. I moved with him to Texas. Moved in September 2019.. he passed away in November 2019. Liver failure. I have no idea how that happened. But it broke my heart. Swore I wouldn’t get another dog. Couldn’t take it. Got my mini Dachshund Porter in March 2020. So sorry about your baby!!
That's a bummer. My old boy is 16 and never had a problem until recently. Kidney failure, so I changed him to all raw chicken diet. His seizures went from every week to every other month. And the severity is lessening. So I hope to have him for a year or two more. We walk every day. I want to give him the best longest life I can. They mean so much to us when we have them, and after they pass. Fond memories, and loyal companions. They don't care about any of the things people do. You could be Quasimodo himself but a dog cares not. If you give them love and basic needs, you have a buddy for life. It's just a shame they don't live longer. But that me being selfish.
mike i hope you read this ! ! ! Add a shoe brush thing to the side of your truck so you can clean your shoes after you jump out. Just a thought , love watching your show
I am so so sorry for your loss. You can tell Winston and his brother were truly loved and both had exceptional doggy lives. They wee taken care of by well-trained canine slaves. The memorial was absolutely lovely. Thanks for sharing your life with us.
Well, made it to the end till I cried. The pics are precious of Winston and Bert. Been there and know how heart breaking it is. Someday there will be a place for another furbaby in your heart and lives. Enjoyed the video as always. Four boxes of those little parts was crazy!!!
Hey mike, i know this is a rough time for you and the missis, but take some comfort knowing that winston and his bro are up there, reunited and having fun. Best wishes from Wales. 🏴
This video has hit me on so many different levels. From the guy trying to run you off for no reason. To the philosophification of cancer. I can totally resonate with you and I feel that we share the same mindset I wish you the best in this world and happy scrapping.
It hurts my heart to know little Winston passed away. I was praying for him everyday, hoping for a miracle. Cancer sucks man. Sorry for your loss. Sending love your way for you and wife.
The surprise tribute at the end made it worth watching the whole video. We have had so many pets live with us. There is always that one sad day when they have to leave us. Good on you sir for the love you shared with those wonderful little ones.
I love people like you. Thank you. You are too cool to not subscribe. Losing an animal, for me, is harder than losing a person. Such a lovely dog you had.
My man Mike, I am proud to know you, you make scrappers look good, and you are a positive role model for the younger guys and gals coming up. I got chased out of a trash pile trying to grab a piece of metal on the curb, guy came out saying I was making a mess, when I called him out on it he started to let the curse words fly. It must suck to be so miserable that you curse at someone trying to do a positive thing. I am so sorry to hear about Winston man, you gave him a good life. Keep your head up brother.
When america is this wasteful it gives me a whole new perspective on "dumpster diving" i used to think it was homeless people digging in smelly old rotten food waste/trash. When its actually filled with treasure! And these scrappers are doing a good thing to repurpose materials, hell yeah!
I used to do the same thing but I'm in a wheelchair and I miss it so much but sometimes I will be outside and see something and I will try like hell to get it if I am with my nephew he will get it for me.
So sorry for the loss of your pups. They are family and it hurts so much when they go. We have lost four dogs over the years and we now have our fifth dog. She is a retired racing greyhound. She is a love and a joy. Hugs from P A.

Sorry to hear you lost Winston. Sending you best wishes from the UK. I enjoy your channel, your humour and your ethics. Making the money is nice, but also making a difference, trying to save some of the hideous wasteful nature of some people/companies deserves credit. I would also add that many dumpster diving channels do not go the extra mile and "dive in". Each to their own, but you are not afraid of getting a bit dirty, and/or wet feet from the juicyness. Blessings to you and your family.
Sorry to hear you lost your good bud mike . But know in the fact of how you cared for them . That never disappears . Dogs were out here to show us what real unconditional love is . To keep the lonely company , and to give love to those that do t have it . All the best .
They might be worried about liability in case you get hurt in their dumpster. Use too be.a tree dumpsite in NW Arkansas was a good place to pick up fire wood . A guy got hurt cutting wood and sued the county so they shut it down and just bury the wood now.
For a year ive been wanting a dog. The hardest part was knowing the pain when you dog dies. 3 weeks ago i was privileged to get a 4-6 month old rescued puppy. Not sure of breed but many think black lab, rottie and or some sheppard. As i do a little metal recycling and scavenging we decided to call him Scrapper. Hes already got the hearts of the family. Cheers from Hope B.C Canada.
I just ran across your channel, and I can not believe how much people waste. My son has been teaching me how to recycle and what I recycle is so far from what I see you getting out of one dumpster. I think what you are do is awesome. Helping save the planet one piece of treasure at a time. Thank you.
So sorry to hear about Winston. Cancer is such a terrible thing to deal with, it runs in my family, lost a lot of loved ones to it, including my Mum. Feel your pain, Mike. RIP Winston. xx
Sorry Mike. Dog loss sucks. RIP Winston. A side note: i have had dogs 70 years, and the last 30 most have died of Cancer, tumors sonetimes the size of grapefruit. It did not used to be this way. Many dogs eat diets high in corn, and tgat corn is GMO material. We ge tg that too, now, and our Cancer rate is higher as well. Monsanto seems to be in the forefront of this change, and i would like to see an investigation of that. So many countries refuse to eat our foods now, because of the Cancer and disease tendencies increase.
Gary Corbett I think food has more then a lot to do with the rise in Cancer in humans and animals. It’s sad that as humans we are killing our own people and animals. We are so much smarter then this but it all comes down to the all mighty dollar.
@@sherrienale9974 overall regular. Malls tend to be less productive than strip mall. Stores. A large percentage of the chain stores that are in malls have a compactor so it crushes everything into a cube so people cannot go through their garbage. This is likely silly to anyone else but I periodically still check the bigger pet stores dumpsters. Like chow hound and such even though I no longer dumpster dive regularly. I have over the years gotten really good shelving to use in my garage and such . the steel shelves they display and store the 50 pound bags of dog food on type of shelves. They are handy when you want to keep bulky heavy stuff organized.
Hey Mike, When you have to fold in the flaps of a box to make the bottom, try putting a couple of flattened boxes in the bottom to strengthen it. It works 👍🏻😁
Oh gosh that is just how our Bodie Boy weht although he did not have cancer. He was almost 14 and came upstairs for bed and was soon gone. Losing your pet family is so hard. Sending hugs of comfort.
I have a Bodie of my own. He's my 5 pound Chihuahua service dog. He's 7 now and was attacked by a bigger dog and lost an eye but is just as spunky as ever. Don't need two eyes to detect seizures. He's my constant companion.
Mike... currently playing catch-up with your older videos and so sorry to hear of your losses, of Winston and his brother. These little guys are such s big part of our lives are they not. Thinking of you. 🇬🇧.. Respect 👍
U remember when they told us that using hairspray from the spray cans killed the ozone and shamed people for using it...yet they continue to make it that way to this day...it’s not about actually saving the planet like these climate change dipsticks preach...it’s about taking it freedoms and rights in the name of something that’s supposed to be good...
The reason they have an issue with dumpster divers is the liability of getting sued if you get hurt.,I used to make a living doing that,. Some places would save their scrap metal outside the dumpster for us to pick up without having to go in their dumpsters,first come first served.
Lost my baby boy "Freddy" to cancer on Easter Sunday this year. He was about a year older then Winston. He was a Austrian Shepherd, Chow, Doberman mix. He was my 1 and only truckin dog for 13 years.
True story! I worked security for a college complex. I scored a few grand in fishing gear, along with couches, tvs, and a few mini fridges. I sold the mini fridges and would pick the same ones back up when they moved out. Sold the same 5 mini fridges 10 times
Only recently started watching your adventures, so sorry bout your dog dude, my dogs are my life, not gunna lie I couldn't hold back tears at the end of this vid... I guess he will always be with you in your heart because love never dies, right?!
Sorry for the loss of your beloved dog. I know that it hurts when you lose a beloved pet because they are our family. Now he's resting in peace. Keep strong and stay safe.
Some of those dumpsters are actually recycling. And the other dumpsters here aren't done by weight. Usually picked up weekly paid by month or quarterly
RIP Winston. My Cocker Lilly is in puppy heaven now too. They're our furry kids.. My condolences, man. Our Bunny chasers, foot/bed warmers. Greet you at the door waiting for you with a smile. God bless them. You are right, they take our heart with them... Peace be with you Mike
I worked with a guy 25 years ago who was a known dumpster diver and his wife loved him for it. He found jewelry, women's clothing that had to have been worn once or twice and tossed. After a trip to the cleaners she had almost brand new clothes. A their household furniture were close to brand new and the ones that weren't his brother-in-law redid old chairs, love seats and the like
Hey Mike, that ceiling piece that you took out of that un-open box is a ceiling speaker! They could go for some good $$$ to the right buyer! Keep working hard & screw the haters. Your doing so much good for the planet Mike! My Condolences to Winston! RIP✌️👊🏻🙏🏼
I'm sure it was heartbreaking to make that video of Weenie, but thank you for sharing a few moments. They leave their paw prints on our hearts forever...
Mike you’re the best dumpster diver of all time Others are boring always moaning don’t dive enough and their jokes are terrible You’re so entertaining and always checking RUclips for your next one Keep up the good work
Great video. Amazing, all those cable thingies being thrown out. Good thing you were there to rescue them. I know it's a year late, but I'm sorry about your dog man. They truly are our best friends.
Add my condolences to the myriad of condolences about Winston. You have 13 years of love to remember. Something about fur/feather children that you never know unless you've been there yourself. Prayers for your comfort.
They are like family, when I lost my last one I cried for three straight days, just couldn’t quit. It hurts, but we give them the best life we can and they give us wonderful memories. 🐶. ✌🏼❤️
I'm sorry to hear about your dog dying. I have to myself and I know how much they enrich your life. They become something stable in one's life especially during this pandemic. There always so glad to see you and greet you with a smile so to speak.
RIP Weeny. You had a good innings. Reminds me how old my mothers poodle is. He was born in June 2007 and he's still here, but I don't think it'll be too long now. But he's a stubborn little bugger, so he might prove me wrong. He still gets around ok, but he can't see very well and he's either deaf or loves to ignore me. He's definitely a mummies boy. He never leaves her side when she is at home. I'll miss him when he goes, but it'll be harder on mum.
The video is so clear on this! When I was younger, my family made a living by dumpster diving and then selling the stuff at the flea market! I loved it and it gave me a strong work ethic! I have worked hard since I was 8! Haha
Our sympathy 💐 for your loss of Winston. You’re right cancer is a disease which really has no purpose like you said it dies when Winston past. Can you do a clip on how you process the thousands of packets ready for recycling? Thanks and hugs to you and your wife (may she keep on singing)
There is nothing compared to the love and companionship of an English Bulldog, we have 3, and they are ages 9, 10, and 11 years, they truly are me and my wifes kids ❤, sorry for your families loss
My deepest condolences for your loss. I'm a dog lover could you were too! Any loss is painful but pet fill our heart joy because they are loyal , loving and emotional support. ❤
Sorry for your loss Mike. This is so sad to see how we trash everything, (what waist) this could be helpful somewhere! We trash our supply goods like it’s nothing, our animals, elderly, children, everything just throw it all away. Thank you Mike for the job you are doing, we mess up and you clean up for us👍🏼❤️ to bad company’s don’t learn!
Watch me clean and scrap all those COAX adapters here:

I wear 6 rings everyday.. the only ring I wear that is actual gold came from a dumpster lolol
And they took that junk out of the trash?
You are a very wholesome person :)
my bro is like that the best is when he finds pounds of fresh trimming and call me up to see what i can salvage to make oil
"carrot" 😂😂
Great video Mike! And thanks for paying tribute to Winston! I’m sure he was so special to you and your wife. Be safe out there brother!
I had a friend who was a minister. He would dumpster dive...pick up items, clean and fix them, and give to people in need. S super cool guy.
Literally gagged when you said that dumpster was "juicy" - totally triggered a smell flashback... 🤣
Sorry for the loss of your beloved dog Mike. My parents lost their dog this past March to cancer too. She was such a good girl. Cancer sucks

I separate my metal trash for the scrappers to pick up easier when I'm cleaning out houses for resale .
Beats paying to have it removed !
Are you not allowed to scrap it yourself? Or just not interested?
Scrap metal is an asset, not a liability!

That is excellent. 😁

I agree Mike it’s sad that they run you divers out. You guys really make a difference saving the planet. Great video
U remember when they told us that using hairspray from the spray cans killed the ozone and shamed people for using it...yet they continue to make it that way to this day...it’s not about actually saving the planet like these climate change dipsticks preach...it’s about taking it freedoms and rights in the name of something that’s supposed to be good...
@@w8what575 exactly! It’s all under the guise of “protecting your health”. I,e., plandemic.

The reason they have an issue with dumpster divers is the liability of getting sued if you get hurt.,I used to make a living doing that,. Some places would save their scrap metal outside the dumpster for us to pick up without having to go in their dumpsters,first come first served.
It is sad, but they are worried about liability issues with someone getting hurt in their dumpster
Lost my baby boy "Freddy" to cancer on Easter Sunday this year. He was about a year older then Winston. He was a Austrian Shepherd, Chow, Doberman mix. He was my 1 and only truckin dog for 13 years.
So sorry for your loss
Really sorry for your loss-hurts so bad...I lost 2 last year and still not completely over it-
I hate that both of you lost your best friends. I cant imagine the hurt. Ill say a prayer for you all
So sorry to hear that. R.I.P.
The stability of the camera movements are blowing me away rn
My boy Winston passed as well in 2021. He was 20 years old and fought like your Winston. They are like family indeed. Love your videos, man.
Those keystone connectors are $10 a pack. What a jackpot!
Sorry about your little dog, mate it is never easy losing a member of your family. Take care , God Bless.
As a dumpster diver myself I can APPRECIATE that tool 2 grab stuff without jumping in!! 🤣
You'll b surprised at what you find,when colleges let out ,they throw everything they can't carry home away,one man's trash is another man's treasure
Saw that on Taco Stacks, it was a shame .
U dam strizzle my nizzle nstuff
True story! I worked security for a college complex. I scored a few grand in fishing gear, along with couches, tvs, and a few mini fridges. I sold the mini fridges and would pick the same ones back up when they moved out. Sold the same 5 mini fridges 10 times
RIGHT!! Just helped my oldest, & fridges they’re going to NEED next year we’re out at the dump. Smh
I work property management In Florida you would be amazed at what the rich snow birds toss when they get her for the winter
This is the content that motivates me to keep practicing
Only recently started watching your adventures, so sorry bout your dog dude, my dogs are my life, not gunna lie I couldn't hold back tears at the end of this vid... I guess he will always be with you in your heart because love never dies, right?!
Sorry for the loss of your beloved dog. I know that it hurts when you lose a beloved pet because they are our family. Now he's resting in peace. Keep strong and stay safe.
Thank God you found those connections. Not something that should ever be in a landfill. You do the earth a great service.

It’s amazing what you’re saving from the landfill too
And saving the companies $$$........
The landfill charges by the weight of the dumped material.
Some of those dumpsters are actually recycling. And the other dumpsters here aren't done by weight. Usually picked up weekly paid by month or quarterly
I am so sorry for your loss. Made me cry. Yes they are family.
The thing that you said, "Filters or something" goes with the foam piece that says "broadhead side." It's a target for bow & arrow.
Wrong. It's a speaker for a distributed 70volt or 25volt system. Like an intercom. They drop in in place of an acoustic tile.
11:46 - it's a target for bow practice. Trust me.
@@paulgrieger8182 no it's a speaker that is why it has a transformer tap targets dont need electricity
It's an archery target I had the same one lol the transformer had nothing to do with it
Sorry for the loss of your pouch mate. It's heartbreaking I know but time heals all wounds. RIP WINSTON
loyal audience, and the first comment, from Indonesia
RIP Winston. My Cocker Lilly is in puppy heaven now too. They're our furry kids.. My condolences, man. Our Bunny chasers, foot/bed warmers. Greet you at the door waiting for you with a smile. God bless them. You are right, they take our heart with them... Peace be with you Mike
So sorry Mike for the loss of your fur baby prayers 🙏🙏🙏
I miss scrapping. Used to live close to an industrial park and was always interesting the stuff they would throw away! Work a boring 9 to 5 now. : (
I worked with a guy 25 years ago who was a known dumpster diver and his wife loved him for it. He found jewelry, women's clothing that had to have been worn once or twice and tossed. After a trip to the cleaners she had almost brand new clothes.
A their household furniture were close to brand new and the ones that weren't his brother-in-law redid old chairs, love seats and the like
I'm sorry for your loss 🙏🐾🐾🙏 plus thank you for cleaning up your part of the earth. She needs all our help. Stay safe and healthy 🙏❤🙏
Mike, it's never easy losing a family member. RIP Winston.
Hey Mike, that ceiling piece that you took out of that un-open box is a ceiling speaker! They could go for some good $$$ to the right buyer! Keep working hard & screw the haters. Your doing so much good for the planet Mike! My Condolences to Winston! RIP✌️👊🏻🙏🏼
Until it was tossed on the concrete.
Been here since day one, and this channel is still one of the most oddly calming and educational channel I’ve seen!
Dude if nothing else , I love your energy !! I hope you made a good haul !!!
I feel your pain, I've lost quite a few pets over 30 years it hurts your heart stay strong my friend.
Kops killed my Pits n Lied
I'm sure it was heartbreaking to make that video of Weenie, but thank you for sharing a few moments. They leave their paw prints on our hearts forever...
Mike you’re the best dumpster diver of all time Others are boring always moaning don’t dive enough and their jokes are terrible
You’re so entertaining and always checking RUclips for your next one
Keep up the good work
Yes you keep up the great work and don't let anyone put you down I wish I could still just jump in and go for it.
Great video. Amazing, all those cable thingies being thrown out. Good thing you were there to rescue them.
I know it's a year late, but I'm sorry about your dog man. They truly are our best friends.
sorry for your loss!!!! they love us unconditionally!!!
Add my condolences to the myriad of condolences about Winston. You have 13 years of love to remember. Something about fur/feather children that you never know unless you've been there yourself. Prayers for your comfort.
That "vent" was a PA speaker. 70V is a standard voltage for building audio systems. I guess 25V is too.
They are like family, when I lost my last one I cried for three straight days, just couldn’t quit. It hurts, but we give them the best life we can and they give us wonderful memories. 🐶. ✌🏼❤️
I couldn't agree more, it cut's like a knife....
Sorry for the loss of the pup. I like your energy and I detest waste!
So sorry for your loss. They certainly do take a piece of your heart with them❤️
I'm sorry to hear about your dog dying. I have to myself and I know how much they enrich your life. They become something stable in one's life especially during this pandemic. There always so glad to see you and greet you with a smile so to speak.
Never seen a scraper moon walk before sorry to hear about your dog they are apart of the family
YOU GOT ENOUGH CABLE JACKS TO HOOK UP HOUSTON!!!!!!!🤣🤣🤣
RIP Weeny. You had a good innings. Reminds me how old my mothers poodle is. He was born in June 2007 and he's still here, but I don't think it'll be too long now. But he's a stubborn little bugger, so he might prove me wrong. He still gets around ok, but he can't see very well and he's either deaf or loves to ignore me. He's definitely a mummies boy. He never leaves her side when she is at home. I'll miss him when he goes, but it'll be harder on mum.
The video is so clear on this! When I was younger, my family made a living by dumpster diving and then selling the stuff at the flea market! I loved it and it gave me a strong work ethic! I have worked hard since I was 8! Haha
Nice. I had one of those clear telephones that lit up too. The 90's.
So sorry Mike to hear about Winston. It never gets easier they bring so much joy and fun into our lives.
Our sympathy 💐 for your loss of Winston. You’re right cancer is a disease which really has no purpose like you said it dies when Winston past. Can you do a clip on how you process the thousands of packets ready for recycling? Thanks and hugs to you and your wife (may she keep on singing)
Yeah I wanna know what we're those packets
This guys attitude is freaking awesome!!
You have a lot of energi man
There is nothing compared to the love and companionship of an English Bulldog, we have 3, and they are ages 9, 10, and 11 years, they truly are me and my wifes kids ❤, sorry for your families loss
My deepest condolences for your loss. I'm a dog lover could you were too! Any loss is painful but pet fill our heart joy because they are loyal , loving and emotional support. ❤
Sorry for your loss Mike.
This is so sad to see how we trash everything, (what waist) this could be helpful somewhere!
We trash our supply goods like it’s nothing, our animals, elderly, children, everything just throw it all away.
Thank you Mike for the job you are doing, we mess up and you clean up for us👍🏼❤️ to bad company’s don’t learn!
You just keep doing you Mike.....screw the haters!! Thanks for doing your part to help recycle!
