Mike… don’t worry about the doubters who second guess how you process the scrap!! After all you are keeping it from the landfill and making money as well. I love your energy and positive attitude!! Keep up the great work!! I wish I had half of your energy!!!
Soak the back of the fan in rubbing alcohol 90% for about 30 minutes pour some distilled water through the motor area and let dry in the sun should work perfectly after motor is probably gooped up
I think the treasure chest was that motor dumpster lol I wouldn’t worry about people trying to tell you what to do lol your life, your channel. We love what you do! Thanks so much for sharing 💜
@@spaight711 If you have the time/space... It's always better to clean the motors up. Also, ease of removal of the copper. Me I always break them down to maximize my $$$ per trip to the scrap yard.
@@spaight711 The best is to find a yard that pays good for the motors as is. My yard pay enough that it doesn't really make sense to break them down unless they are over 100 lbs
It's your scrap to do whatever you want to do with it Mike. Your content is great whether you are jumping in a dumpster, curbside picking, taking things apart, or stripping wire. Keep doing what you do, and don't worry about what others think you should do with the stuff you find. Have a great weekend, and I'll be waiting for the next episode of Mike the scavenger.
Love when you find wire or motors or lighting. Like a kid at Christmas. I’m glad to see these things getting scrapped & not going to a landfill. You’re helping us all! Stay safe!!!!
And matters not what other people think about how you conduct your business to take care of your needs and your families needs! Just keep on keeping on you’re doing wonderful!!
You are the Captain of your ( space) ship, you can do whatever you want with whatever you have, do what you think is best, or pick one from the comments. We love your videos , we have watched every one of them from when you were riding your BMX and your skateboard. That's a long time. We love the SCAVENGER.
Getting my Friday FIX of "Mike the Scavenger" thanks for putting a smile on my face U have tooo much energy and excitement have a wonderful weekend full of scavenging
Hi Mike you can't please everybody. Some body will always have something negative to say. Just be true to yourself and just do you man. We love your positive energy, it's so contagious! If I was 40yrs. younger I would get out there and dumpster dive myself🤗 But since I'm not, I'll be satisfied watching you have the time of your life!
Just keep posting, that's all I ask. And for any haters out there; stop it. In addition to his videos being entertaining, insightful and enjoyable, he's also providing for his family, not to mention helping keep our landfills free of recyclable materials. He seems like a good guy, someone worthy to know...he sets a good example for others. Whatever issues you have with him, cool....but, don't bring your negative vibes around here. Leave that at home.
Mikey, we always love you and what you do! Would love to see a scrap run! Don't let what people say get to you. You know the old saying, "Opinions are like..." well, you know ;)
Magnificent one today !!!! So much scrap !!! That's right Mike don't listen to the nay sayers !!! Thanks for taking us along today with you!!!! Really appreciate you!!!!
Definitely would love to see a scrap run with all of that! I don’t understand why people would be upset with you scrapping anything, no matter what it is. You’re making a good buck but also helping keep our landfills clean!
As others have said, it’s very therapeutic watching you each week, keep on doing what you do! I salvage those plastic tool boxes and cut the inner parts out, they make great parts storage boxes. Got rid of a few to friends when they have seen mine!
Thanks for taking us along on your treasure hunts. Keep doing exactly what you want with your channel and congratulations on your upcoming subscriber milestone.
Great haul on the motors. That is a hefty load. Keep the videos coming Mike. I always look towards you newest videos. And plz don't pay attention to the ones who leave mean comments. You are better then that.
I just ran across your site and I love it. We have two dumpsters here in our large mobile home park and one is for recyclables. The other is junk that I check about three times a week. I took our recyclables down about an hour ago and came back with a like-new set of jumper cables, electrical boxes and new duplex receptacles. I've rescued a few laptops and desktops in the last four years. Glad to see I'm not the only scrounger in this world.
It’s always good watching your videos keep it up Mike I live near Huntsville Alabama and our baseball team is called the trash pandas just thought I would throw that out there
You know what Mike you cant please everyone, because some people are just HATERS, do what you want to do with the scap, know one is out there helping you nor paying you, you do a good enough for you and your family. Keep on scrapping Mike.
Woah, those motors 😄 & the hand truck! Great haul. Love your energy! I had as much fun watching as you did diving- but don't ya hate a juicy bottom dumpster! Best wishes!
Happy Friday to you Mike, another awesome video, keep them coming... Maybe sometime you could do another Q&A live chat like the one you did in your backyard that one time, would be awesome 😎
Where does all that dumpster trash go ?? ..A massive hole in the ground that contaminates the environment for thousands of years...or is it recycled to some degree ??
In the UK and the EU commercial companies have a duty of care for their waste which means recyling as much as possible. In the USA they just dig a hole and run away lol....
What I realy like about you MTS is when you find a big haul like the motors you get every last on out of the dumpster. Like I would get down to the last few my back would be killing me and I would say F it thats enough but not you. You keep digging and searching until there aint no mor. Love ya mike.
I used to be a scraper but nothing to the level you are. And even then, I made TONS of money. My father would sit in the carport stripping down and separate all I brought home to increase it's value. A very simple and yet, very profitable way of life.
Hey Mike. Did you know that in the early years of television you could not show a commode on TV. So here's a trivia question for you. What television program was the first to show the privy on TV and what year was it?
Mike when u get those rims with tire left on, just take a Sawzall and cut through the bead of the tire the rims scrap anyways, if they were steel rims you would heat the bead of the rim where the tire seats until you start seeing a Little Smoke Off the tire and then the bead will pop off really easy. Enjoy watching you go through those dumpsters
Easiest way I've found to get tires off of rims is to just cut into them with a good recip saw. You'll have to go down into the rim a bit to get all the way thru the steel belts. Will be way easier now that most of the tire is already gone. Good find. My yard wouldn't take them even with that little bit of rubber. Sell the strollers yet? Love your channel. Keep up the good work!
@27:00 no wonder why so many businesses go under ! Just look at all the waste & they even spend money to get rid of them instead of scrapping it themselves, good thing Mike finds scores like this
Awesome haul on those motors. Would like to see short video on breaking down those motors. On the pool pumps how far do U strip them down before scraping ?
What ever you choose to put on your channel, I would love to see. You motor right along to the beat of your own drum. I’m like Patricia and Mercy, in my eyes you can do no wrong.
It's been a bummer day then I saw you had a new video up, and wow what a video. Great day in the dumpsters. Looking forward to the followup on this one.
Finally I’ve got some time to watch Mike get the hidden treasures!!! Get it!!! Make a video scrapping out those motors man. For sure scrap them things and max ur money!
You are the only scrapper I have ever watched that scores so good each and every time and I know for a fact that you work hard at your job cuz I also am a scrapper I would love to have an idea of the areas that you go in I live in Georgia and all I can say is wow wow wow wow unreal score way to go dog
I’m a 70 year old woman sitting here and alternating between laughing at your antics and woohooing your finds. Good job 👍 😊
I'm 65, and I get so excited when Mike finds wire... most people would not understand us at all, Coni! ~Haha!
Their loss, eh?
I'm a 40 year old hammer that likes turtles.
I'm 55 and just love this kid.He is too funny.
and i'm 60 and hooked!!
@@duckymeejsI am 68, and wires are the highlight of the videos. It makes my day when the dumpster has wires.
Mike… don’t worry about the doubters who second guess how you process the scrap!! After all you are keeping it from the landfill and making money as well. I love your energy and positive attitude!! Keep up the great work!! I wish I had half of your energy!!!
Happy Friday, Y'all!!!
Yes it is!
Yes!!!!! Just got better!!!!👍
Hope you and the family are all well matey?
🙏🇬🇧✌
Happy Friday mts
Soak the back of the fan in rubbing alcohol 90% for about 30 minutes pour some distilled water through the motor area and let dry in the sun should work perfectly after motor is probably gooped up
Yes please do a scrap run and follow up of results. Love watching!😍👍
I always smile when you find bundles of wire because it makes you so happy. 🤗 Nice haul today.💯
Thanks!!!
Forrest said it best.... Dumpsters are like a box of chocolate, you never know what you will get.
I think the treasure chest was that motor dumpster lol I wouldn’t worry about people trying to tell you what to do lol your life, your channel. We love what you do! Thanks so much for sharing 💜
Verdade
Like Simply Sandy said!!!!
True dat!
Ditto!
True that brother!!! Thank you for you service!!!
Youre a greatful thankful and positive person
You should definitely do a scrap run with all those motors!
I certainly will!
@@MikeTheScavenger Yes! can't wait!
@@MikeTheScavenger At what point would it make sense to break motors down to try to get a better price for the copper inside, if ever?
@@spaight711 If you have the time/space... It's always better to clean the motors up. Also, ease of removal of the copper.

YES, motors to the scrap yard!
Great score with all those motors.
I don't understand why, whoever threw them out, didn't take them to the scrap yard themselves.
You know what Mike you cant please everyone, because some people are just HATERS, do what you want to do with the scap, know one is out there helping you nor paying you, you do a good enough for you and your family. Keep on scrapping Mike.
Show us what's inside those s motors and how to scrap them. You're doing great Mike keep up the good work!!!🐾
Scrap run. Scrap run. Scrap run. Do it mikey !!!!!
Great content Mike. Love your enthusiasm.

Woah, those motors 😄 & the hand truck! Great haul. Love your energy! I had as much fun watching as you did diving- but don't ya hate a juicy bottom dumpster! Best wishes!
Great scrap day. Can’t wait for the bonus video
Happy Friday to you Mike, another awesome video, keep them coming... Maybe sometime you could do another Q&A live chat like the one you did in your backyard that one time, would be awesome 😎
Good haul tonight. That probably 10k worth of motors and just tossed in the trash. Mind blowing.
Dude holy smokes all those electric motors at the end 🤯 I can only imagine how much copper is in those if you choose to tear them down 🤑
Awesome finds today. Your no. One Oakville Ontario Canadian fan.
Where does all that dumpster trash go ?? ..A massive hole in the ground that contaminates the environment for thousands of years...or is it recycled to some degree ??
In the UK and the EU commercial companies have a duty of care for their waste which means recyling as much as possible. In the USA they just dig a hole and run away lol....
Unfortunately that is all too true ,we waste alot in the states ,that should be reused ,recycled
What I realy like about you MTS is when you find a big haul like the motors you get every last on out of the dumpster.
Like I would get down to the last few my back would be killing me and I would say F it thats enough but not you. You
keep digging and searching until there aint no mor. Love ya mike.
Count your blessings Mike!! ❤ I'm glad you're so appreciative of what you find!
That’s what makes your videos better
Good to see you do this. I have a building that I recycle stuff in. I told people I would recycle older tv's. They buried me with that stuff.
WOW. Poor Dolly, you need to take care of her and drive home slowly. There is a lot of wire on all of those motors as well. Stay safe and God Bless
Great haul, Mike. Wow!!! Love watching your videos. I'd pull out the wiring and scrap what you can on the motors.
I used to be a scraper but nothing to the level you are. And even then, I made TONS of money. My father would sit in the carport stripping down and separate all I brought home to increase it's value. A very simple and yet, very profitable way of life.
NICE Haul and YES a SCRAP RUN would be Nice to see how much $$$ too! Great Video Mike!
Hey Mike. Did you know that in the early years of television you could not show a commode on TV. So here's a trivia question for you. What television program was the first to show the privy on TV and what year was it?
Leave it to beaver. 1957.
Hammer and chisel for the tire or zip wheel . Break motors down for best dollar ?
Got Dotty sitting low tonight. Great find..
Scrap run!!!!!! GREAT PICK. CANT WAIT to see what you do with all those.😎
Mike when u get those rims with tire left on, just take a Sawzall and cut through the bead of the tire the rims scrap anyways, if they were steel rims you would heat the bead of the rim where the tire seats until you start seeing a Little Smoke Off the tire and then the bead will pop off really easy. Enjoy watching you go through those dumpsters
Hey Mike! The bedside hospital tables. I take the top out. I have put my big umbrella in it. I roll it around my yard
Whatever you do is good with me. Love and prayers. Just bring on more videos .
Love scavenging with you very entertainment and exciting
I also agree you should do a scrap run with those motors. What a fabulous find they were.
Mike cracks me up.
