As an electrician, I know the value of all of those electrical fittings and it’s crazy what people would throw away how much money is just lost and wasted
It's really frustrating to see that all just thrown in the trash. There is 100% no reason for that. Someone billed that out and now it's in a dumpster.
@@michaeldavis8249 Or bill the next job, use what was left and make more money. I know it doesn't seem honest, but the stuff isn't wasted and sent to a landfill. Thank God for people like Mike who saves this disaster.
Mike, you collect so much scrap and people should realize that it’s only the tip of the iceberg the little bit you get helps but the totality of the waste problem in the US is crazy

Just a heads up: I am a retired purchasing manager for a contract electronics manufacturer. I used to buy those blue totes but in conductive anti static black for $20-$30 each. Also keep an eye out for black anti static cardboard totes they go for up to $25 new. You can check the anti static stuff with a multi meter to make sure it's not just painted black
Those specimen trays make good kitty litter trays or watering troughs for potted plants. Love it when you get the "Drive Thru", well next to pick up. Makes it easier for you too, only handle once.
I love watching your videos! I am a 70 yr old country girl ☺️ I started watching you 6 years ago when I had had hip replacement surgery to occupy my mind! N I have watched you ever since then! It amazes me at how much scrap you keep from the landfills! Good job Mike!
i tell you what mike if it was me i would reach out to a couple local electricians and ask them if they would buy that unistrut and all thread off, you might even ask a hvac contractor, small shops are always looking for a deal
Yeah wow. Mike, you always find incredible stuff. Just waste steel. The all thread as others have said just for starters, the cable, nuts and bolts, steel pipe. All worth good $$Ka-ching, just chucked out. 😲
Hey Mike, been watching your old videos. You’re the shiznitz! The GOAT! You deserve an award 🥇 for all the scrap you have saved from the landfill. You’re my hero, man. ❤ Your wife must be so proud of you!
That chicken roaster will be there for a long time. I don't see waste management hauling it away. It's entertaining what you find on your adventures. Thanks.
Mike your such an excellent scrapper and you do an awesome job at it. Keep up the great work on keeping our landfills cleaned. Also keep showing and sharing your thoughts and videos on all your findings. Love watching you every day ❤❤❤❤❤ with lots of love for you and what you do.❤❤❤❤❤❤
I don't know if you've heard but everyone will be upgrading from cat5 to the new standard of cat 6 so you will certainly continue to find cat wire in the dumpsters
Mike , it's good to see you and others recycle and reuse things. The company I worked at for over 40 years throw goods like this away. I started keeping stuff for the last 15 years and made about $600.00 a month by recycling and selling it.👍👍
At 15:05 that microwave part you found has the two very strong round magnets inside it. I pick up microwaves when I find them on the curb just to get those two magnets out. Three or four of those can be mighty handy around the shop. They are very, very strong.
Hallo Mike Grüße aus Deutschland dein video war wieder Klasse 💯👍👍 Und in Dresden die Carolabrücke liegt noch zur halfte in der Elbe und das Hochwasser ist auch schon da zu zeit sind es ca 5Meter 80 werden noch mehr erwartet am Mittwoch das wasser von den Tschechen soll dann auf 6 Meter 30 gehen aber geht noch Dresden kennt sich mit Hochwasser aus. Wünsche Euch allen noch eine schöne Woche Grüßeaus Sachsen-Anhalt
When my dad was base security for NAS Cecil Field in Jacksonville, FL, we used to dumpster dive the parks and BBQ pits on Sundays. I found a military grade winter jacket and a pair of combat boots on a picnic table. I still got the jacket today
Been following you for the past year or so on my other channel. Decided to get into scrapping and started my own channel! You were a big inspiration. Keep up the good work!!
I hope your. All right. I saw on the news there was a big explosion in Houston, I don’t know if you’re close to that. But, I pray all of you and your family are safe.
All I could think when you were throwing all that steel to the ground was "SHHHHHH You're gonna get us BUSTED" LMAO Always good to feel the Vibes you are throwing around, Keep that Awesome content coming Brother.
I love it when you just drop metal and other stuff to the ground with so much noise where you would think someone would come out to look what the hell is happening.,where others are so careful not to make so much noise
I'm aghast at all the good stuff that is found in these dumpsters that is still usable and just ready for scrapping and recycling. I still can't get over the one video Mike did where he recovered 20 or 30 stackable office chairs from a dumpster. Nothing wrong with them, not torn, dirty or damaged. Because of divers like Mike I tell other divers in my area about scrap or anything in dumpsters that they might like. But I can only guess the obscene amounts of stuff still going to landfills across the country that could be saved or recycled. What a waste.
Oh my life...we would sooo not be able to do that in the UK without somebody stopping us for 'recycling' all that precious 'rubbish' ! Keep doing what you're doing 😊
Я хорошо разбираюсь в кабеле. Не даром же проработала 2 года на заводе в Самаре. У нас такой толстый кабель называется "витая пара". Он очень хорош при создании целой компьютерной комнаты для подключения электрики. Его постоянно покупали для этих целей. Так что он хорош по цене сам по себе.
Would it be a stretch to maybe go and talk to a electrical supply company and see if they can give you some more than what it is at the scrapyard on the fittings especially like the bail boxes

@@york2600 I completely agree the contractor at least should be able to get credit on it

The Unistrut and all thread gets me, that could just go to another job, that's got to be a shopfitting company that's throwing that away.
Mike, you collect so much scrap and people should realize that it’s only the tip of the iceberg the little bit you get helps but the totality of the waste problem in the US is crazy
I have a degree in Environmental Science.
My professor said that one day, mining landfills would be a thing.
It already is@@richavic4520
All i can say is if you're new to knowing the world's trash problem our tax dollars are being wasted!

Knowing how much I've had to pay for all thread in the past, it hurts my soul to see that stuff in the trash.
Ikr and that unistrut is high as a kite
The black matt runner with the yellow sides is $40 per foot
Wow his city has some very valuable junk
Those damn things are a bitch to make. One may sees about 5 different people in the making process not to mention packaging and shipping.
Enough light bulbs to light up half of Texas. Lol
At least Houston's 4 million! 😂
@darkwood777 Lmao 🤣
They want us to use the crappy led lights instead. Not natural.
Only if the Power is on.....lol.
Should’ve kept the map you might need it for directions when the space ship is finished.

Captain Kangaroo called and wants his keys back.
😂😂
👍🏻👍🏻 I watched Captain Kangaroo when I was a child. I loved the Captain! That was funny.
Good day Mike. You need to make longer videos I can watch you all day long. ❤

You know, you could donate those rubber mats to horse/livestock rescues. I’m sure there’s a few places like that around your area.
Cleaning the planet one dumpster at a time
As always, a ton of stuff! Keep on scavenging!
Good Monday afternoon mike ,love watching you dumpster dive
I appreciate how you learn the proper terminology for the items you find.
That was a fun video to watch bro. Thank you
Why does everything cost so much? Cause you got contractors wasting like CRAZY! As Always, May God Bless you and yours! 😇
somewhere there are some purchasing agents wondering why their project budgets are so short of money
That 12:53 pipe drop is called “The Scrapyard Symphony.” Just beautiful!
That chicken roaster will be there for a long time. I don't see waste management hauling it away. It's entertaining what you find on your adventures. Thanks.
Yup 😂 stuff was there long enough to kill the grass
16:26 That's a tandoor. As in tandoori chicken and freshly baked naan ~ bread.
Mike your such an excellent scrapper and you do an awesome job at it. Keep up the great work on keeping our landfills cleaned. Also keep showing and sharing your thoughts and videos on all your findings. Love watching you every day ❤❤❤❤❤ with lots of love for you and what you do.❤❤❤❤❤❤
Hi Mike, it just behooves me, what people throw away. I'm happy for you, that you benefit from their throw aways😊😊😊! Absolutely love ❤️ your videos.
Every day is like Christmas day. I guess Mike has been a really good boy this year.
I think you can call yourself a dumpster miner. You save metal from the landfill and put it in cirkulation again. Great work.
Robert Sweden
God those thin patch cables are MONEY. Panduit is the best. And the $$$$
I don't know if you've heard but everyone will be upgrading from cat5 to the new standard of cat 6 so you will certainly continue to find cat wire in the dumpsters
Yay new video thank you Mike Mike.
I can't believe how much good items people throw away I've sold so much out of the garbage
thanks for taking us along scraping. i want to get myself a a good truck and head out scraping soon ❤
You are a bless man Mike I pray that God keep on blessing you and your family
Would not scarp the all thread or Unistrut worth much more then scrap , Great haul Mike.
Hey Mike, that Brother printer tape is for a Brother P-touch label maker. Those cartridges run anywhere from $15-$50 a piece...smh
Aaahhhh! I have one of those! That’s too bad…
You two p touchers 🎉
Oh by the way Mike I'm going to call you Magic Mike the Scavenger because of all the amazing things you do with the stuff you find
Thanks for another great video Mike

Awesome scrap session stay safe MTS
A little gold mine in each dumpster this time! Then that super heave stuff at the end ….nice finish! Hope your pay off was fabulous!
Always a good time with MTS 😊
Love it when the cat wire comes calling!
That black and yellow mat be good for when you're working underneath your truck
Always a good time with MTS

Been following you for the past year or so on my other channel. Decided to get into scrapping and started my own channel! You were a big inspiration. Keep up the good work!!
Sour patch kids are awesome! Score!
Thank you King of Scavengers!
Thanks for rescuing our Earth. As always thanks for taking us along.
Mike , what you referred to as space ship looks like a Tandoori oven
I so would have loved that map!
love all maps, especially olds one
SO MUCH WASTE IN AMERICA MOST DO NOT KNOW UNTIL YOU WATCH THESE VIDEOS
We aren’t worried about it because global warming is going to kill all of us within 12 years. 😂
If people ever went to a garbage transfer station they’d get a quick dose of reality. It’s awful!
Awesome video Mike! unbelievable what people will throw away the us is so wasteful
conjunction junction what's your function,.... made me laugh, now i know Mike is in my age group.
Excellent adventure mike well done sir six stars
That “little part” was a cisco switch sfp, those can range from 100 to a 1000 each depending on gb size.
Dang Mike... Texas is the land of Dumpster diving Heaven!!!😵
I hope your. All right. I saw on the news there was a big explosion in Houston, I don’t know if you’re close to that. But, I pray all of you and your family are safe.
Those mats might be good to line the bed of your truck . Give Betty White a little extra cushion...
I Love how funny you are...❤
All I could think when you were throwing all that steel to the ground was "SHHHHHH You're gonna get us BUSTED" LMAO Always good to feel the Vibes you are throwing around, Keep that Awesome content coming Brother.
Great scrap day!! Keep up the good strong work!!!
Great Haul!!! Blessings and Peace ✝️❤️
I always wonder how much pipe rolls under the dumpster when you throw it over the side! Great video, Mike 😊
You're right 👍👍👍 found some more stuff for your space 🚀🚀🚀 ship lol.. Love your videos 📷📸📸📷. Don't forget to go Vote.we need your help!!!!

Mike sometimes them old maps are worth some 💰 🤑
Mike the Metal Man
I love it when you just drop metal and other stuff to the ground with so much noise where you would think someone would come out to look what the hell is happening.,where others are so careful not to make so much noise
Great job mike
You keep getting that much cat5e, Gonna have to start calling you "The Cat Whisperer" ! 😁

Good find Mike nothing like making music with metal LMAO like your videos bro keep them coming
Mike the scavenger is awesome 😎🇺🇸
Mike got his daily dose of minerals!
Now that was a nifty little video😊
Mike,they come and get the dumpster when they close the business down,we’ve been seeing a lot of this lately and there is a lot more of it in the mail
Mike those brother tape are worth about between 29.00 -36.00 dollars each
that cisco little part could be wroth a good penny
Oh my life...we would sooo not be able to do that in the UK without somebody stopping us for 'recycling' all that precious 'rubbish' ! Keep doing what you're doing 😊
