I went out this morning to deliver some nice items I found while curb shopping to some very cool buyers that loved what I had found, On my way back I could not resist peeking in a few dumpsters. 30 minutes later my truck is half full again with plumbing, wires and lights. Thanks Mike, now I can't walk through my garage again.
Hanging out in dumpsters? Nastiness should be expected. If we only knew what our environment really throws at us we would never leave our house! Mike should go see a professional hypnotherapist and get that aversion to urine controlled.😮
Oh my belly hurts! This video totally hit my funny bone! From the skip pa de do da to the gagging on the pee! I get too excited when I see you have posted a new one! Thank you for sharing your joy of life! You young man, make this grandma smile! God bless you!
Love the conversations never stop being you Mike. Your channel wouldn't be what it is with out that part of you. Don't listen to the haters be the best u that u can be. Love u and the fam. Keep up the great work. Talk if want to there is a mute or they don't need to listen at all. Personally I think it is great way it has been. Love to the fur babies too.
Thank you Mike I'm homebound a lot because of my leg problems it sure is nice to see your videos bring back the good old days when I could still get out and hit them myself bless you and your family I hope you have a great Christmas
Yes very true ❤️ well said I remember when I could get it done. But now my legs and back are not so good. But I send blessings always to everyone and Mr. Mike and family many blessings and good scraping (all day son) God bless you all now and always ❤️🌹❤️ with much love and respect from Yuma, Arizona ❤️ thank you 💞💖💞 for giving us many smiles and always a good time. An amazing memories
Same! With my grandad❤ hes got dementia bad now and can barely walk but i like to tell him about mikes new finds or show him the big hauls or snibbits that are fast paced-big pay as its easier to grab attention for the full thing! ❤ he can only handle somethings for a longer time like westerns or certain old shows , otherwise hes off to the races with something else😂
Mike you are the best thing on You Tube, can't get enough of your humor, I find myself laughing my ass off. Your videos are awesome can't wait to see what your going to get into next other than a dumpster of course. Hope everybody is doing well in the family, stay safe, and keep having fun.
i asked my scrapyard how many ballasts they send on a load and was told they had 30k lbs waiting to go out and they end up heading to pakistan for recycling. scrap is some interesting stuff :)
I've said it before, I'll say it again.. been watching since about march 2020. You are the first person I ever watched "dumpster dive", and i was hooked within minutes. Always be you, Mike! I think a fun idea would be you and wifey doing some retail diving 😁. I know it isn't your thing, but retail stores are ALWAYS throwing out shelving from their stores. Keep them videos coming! Much love from Myrtle Beach!
Mike you are so good at what you are doing. Never stop your talking. You make my day. I laugh so much at you. Love, love what you say and do. Be careful on that bike rides.
Merry Christmas Mike, Since I can't climb in dumpsters I use a pool ladder to making getting in and out easier for me. I like the ballasts you found tonight. You found a cluster of those things.
Yes me too. In time lapse of course. Mike has a lot of work ahead of him with that mess. I think it would be worth the effort tho. Just a guess $175 after clean up. ???????
Hey there Mike, you know how to grove, hopping, bopping and dancing the dumpster tune. Great haul, especially the balists and lights. Fun was had by all, always get your grove on and get the next giant find in the dumpster, yes.
Mike that Motorola is a splitter for a data radio or for GPS. My camera for my vehicle has a front and rear camera and a GPS antenna showing position. Came out of a police car. Remember those cameras and 5" monitor screens you find are part of the system I have. Enjoy. Mike please save the software on dad's. Thank you. They replaced the ballasts with the led replacement. No ballast needed.
Man oh Man all those Balast's and Wire - Great Score indeed ! Bedframes and Peepee - Yuk ! Yes - You had a Successful Dumpster Diving Evening ! We love it and many Cheers from us in Australia !!!!
Good morning from Canada Mike. It is part of my morning routine to have my coffee and toast while watching your videos. Miss them on the days when you have nothing to post. 4:18 gotta be strong! 21:26 watch yo head, watch yo head! It would be cool if you could tell us how much you get for all those ballasts!
Am I the only one that goes back to watch older video's to see the diference in the way you do stuff now I like to see the way you use to scrap and the way you scrap now after you learnt all the easiest ways to strip stuff and what scrap you get more money for or the opposite with the ballest's.👍👍✌👊👊
Your first open top dumpster appears to be filled with partition waste. Wishing you and your bride a blessed Christmas season. Thanks for sharing this wonderful video. Peace brother.
So the guy was asked to dump them, he loaded up 2 carts , rolled their heavy butts out to dump and couldn't get them out of the cart...he said forget it and ditched. Good score Mike!
Right at the start, cubicle lights from under the upper cabinets. Probably not one thing wrong with them, retro fit with the new LED lamps and you're good to go! All of those ballast, someone did a upgrade to a newer energy efficient version probably. I have seen that done before. The energy savings pay for the costs of replacing the old ones in a relatively short time frame and then it's money in the bank for whoever pays the power bill.
I was thinking when you were putting the ballasts in the truck that I wanted a video about scrapping those out more, and you said the same thing at the end. Looooveeee the videos man! Scrap run! Wooooo
Greetings Mike. Let's get going to find some treasures. You can xo this, we believe in you Mike. We think like Florida scrapper says its just scrap. They left those for you or Vidvulture. GOD BLESS you always. PLEASE be CAREFUL. Be safe,healthy &blessed always family friendly
Another successful outing with MTS. Wondering how much those ballasts will bring??? Definitely show the stripping down process. Lots of snibbets to be had. Love your videos and blessings to you, the Missus and puppies.
What I thought was strange about the ballasts was that there were two boxes right next to them and they fitted all the ballasts in perfectly. I think it was a set up and there were people hiding behind a door laughing. 😂😂😂🤣🤣🤣😁

Omg! You gotta watch the video ALL THE WAY TO THE END...Past the truck unloading by backing up....LOL! YOU WON'T BE DISAPPOINTED!
Lmao! Usually he has a pretty good strong gag Constitution lol but not on that night lol..
No doubt! I almost hurled listening to it! 👍👍 I feel bad for him.
Listen to her...lol
No denying Mikey's dedication. I would've left that one alone. Nasty!!!
Hanging out in dumpsters? Nastiness should be expected. If we only knew what our environment really throws at us we would never leave our house! Mike should go see a professional hypnotherapist and get that aversion to urine controlled.😮
I love the way you have fun while you

You had the best AND the worst part about scrapping in the same trip. Love your channel. Keep up the good work! 👍
A much needed zen moment after that run! Lol. Man, you had me laughing and gagging at the same time!
Gagging and laughing is what I was doing too. But I started with the bowl.
Yep,,nasty😂

Although it is a tiring and risky job... But you accept it in a funny spirit, I support you and wish you happiness.
The Scrappers Skip, the new dance craze! Great scrappity scrap! Made us laugh when you were yacking!

I came back to watch this one a second time just because it was such fun...you had quite a time dealing with that pile!
02:09 best part 😄
We Think You Are Great!! You Always Put A Smile On Our Faces....Who Ever Said You Talked To Much Can BITE ME!!!
You just took apart the towns new art installation! 😂
I'm guessing that they were leaving the ballist out for you. The cart hit the sewer grate and flipped over.
Incredible load! Wow!
I figure a homeless person was attempting to get them for scrap, but realized it wasn't going to work with a cart.
What a great personality you have Mike! Love ya work 😁👍
Brilliant episode as always "leave it cleaner than you found it "
Me husband wanted me to tell you that your show is the #1 show on RUclips
Thank you Mike (mts)

I would like to see that the whole process of the lights conduits or whatever .. nice 🙂 nice job Mike the scavenger
Yes me too. In time lapse of course.
Mike has a lot of work ahead of him with that mess.
I think it would be worth the effort tho.
Just a guess $175 after clean up. ???????

Makeing me smile as usual. Thanks Mike. 😁😎🌲
Clean up and yard trip❤️ would love to see how much you get for the balas
Outstanding, man, I would love to find the amount of scrap you pull out of these dumpsters 👍👍
the amount is the total of the weight he sells to the scrap yard.
@@crzy11000 Yes, of course 😊👍

Someone did a retrofit job on their fixtures. LED doesn’t use ballasts. Good find!!

Great find with all those ballasts. It ought to add up nicely. For free! Heck yes
You really scored on the ballasts tonight! WTG! Yoooouw! 👏👏👏
My guess is someone was told to get rid of the ballasts , so they tried til the cart tipped over
Your first open top dumpster appears to be filled with partition waste. Wishing you and your bride a blessed Christmas season. Thanks for sharing this wonderful video. Peace brother.
Classic end to the video Bro!!! Loved it! MERRY CHRISTMAS AND A HAPPY NEW YEAR! Peace!!!

Thanks Mike!!
Skippity doo dah Mike has arrived!😎
Takes dumpster juice to a new level
Nice save from the landfill there Mike. Imagine how much never gets rescued.
You remind me of a little kid rustling through the piles of wrapping paper after all the gifts have been opened on Christmas morning.
What I thought was strange about the ballasts was that there were two boxes right next to them and they fitted all the ballasts in perfectly. I think it was a set up and there were people hiding behind a door laughing. 😂😂😂🤣🤣🤣😁
Nice score!!! You sir are hilarious
Glad I stuck around till the end I laughed so much, great haul. Guess you have to put up with the crap to get the good stuff.
