I love it when you score big, you do the work, picking through the grunge, you deserve all you can grab / recycle.👍👍

That's a beast of a worker right there. And saving the planet.

Mike, check prices on the steel pot rack and lid holder. You'd be surprised. Clean it up and repaint them and you're looking at $100.

I just started watching Mike last week and I'm totally hooked. I love to see him score something good just because it makes him so happy and he deserves it for his hard work. He's saving the planet in his own way and if he makes some money along the way so much the better.

I love that you posted this cause I did this many years of my life! God Bless you!💖💖💖💜💜💜💜

*Those gold boxes are selling for $50 to $100 on ebay rn. Confirmed via sold comps*

I'm a retired Glazier...the u shaped blue plastic pieces are shims to hold glass in position and the black roll of rubber...is VYNAL FOR PUSHING IN TO FINISH THE SEAL ON GLASS IN METAL(ANODIZED ALUMINUM STORE FRONT...OR HIGH RISE GLAZING)

Why am I so fascinated over someone jumping into a trash bin while getting dirty rummaging thru crap and finding a buck or 2 worth of scrap?!

This is a great thing! I've picked up some good stuff myself. City governments cover up so many things the disposal service buries in the ground..and even call themselves "environmental services" ..they are criminal to do so. Its people who recycle that are absolutely "environmentally friendly".

So glad - there are (thrifty) people who work HARD; (after hours) to ‘recover’ the re usable materials that are discarded, and thrown into trash bins!? ✅ WORK SAFE guys❣️

Love reading comments from all the back seat dumpster divers! Most don't have a clue, keep on hustling hustler!!

Watching this makes me want to go dumpster diving again ... Love it

The Sprint Magic Box Gold unit is placed on the windowsill to receive the signal from outdoors and boost it indoors.

The small part of the pot hanger screws to the ceiling and then the 4 hooks hold the larger bit to hang the pots on. I hope this helps.

Definitely saw the 4th hook. Go back to 10:07 you will see it in a quick flash under the plastic!

This planet needs many millions of thrifty people like you. Excellent environmental care, and even profitable! There’s so good stuff much talked about saving the planet, but it’s despairing to see householders and businesses alike discarding valuable material resources. Why isn’t the message getting through? Everyone needs to seperate trash into different material piles, Some folks do, many don’t. Extracting metals already affected the environment to process them the first time. Keep it up Mike and every like minded recycler person.

Your saving the planet!Keep up the good work, brother!

You impress the crap outa me, you are clean up whatever mess you may make or even if you didn't make it you still clean it up.. rock on brother..

I love that he cleans up when he makes a mess or if they is rando trash outside the dumpster!

It'd be rewarding at the end of each video if you let us know how much it all fetched at the scrapyard - then you'd have more subscribers - betcha..!

You gotta give him credit for his ambition.

Cleanest damn dumpsters I have ever seen...

"This is property of sprint " ...I was thinking nah bro that's your property now

Hey, those floodlights you looked at in the 2nd dumpster are each worth ~$40; plus they were a relatively recent model, so they probably still work... electric panel boxes are each worth between $80 & $190 depending on the boxes amp/space/circuit setup... electrical breakers are worth anywhere from $5 to $160 each...also, if those detectors work, smoke detectors are each worth ~$10 for the battery-powered only models, ~$20 for battery backup models, and ~$40 for smoke/carbon models...the Sprint boxes boost data signals to increase up/download speed, accelerate data, and increase connectivity - they're each worth ~$50. You pass up a lot of valuable stuff and undercut yourself by scrapping items with greater resale values! And, if you don't want to resale that stuff, donate that type of things to nonprofit habit groups, who can either use it or resale it themselves...plus, you'd still get a tax deduction from the donation!

I admire a man who hustles!

Those long pieces I think a louvers for a building vent that are controlled by a motor and work like horizontal window blinds

I see dumpster juice thats why it smells nasty. I love dumpster diving you just never know what your going to find. Mike is so fun to watch

Magic box going for 50 bucks each. Great find.

Fan blades probably from a company call 'Big Ass Fan' for warehouse air circulation.

Go back in for the fourth one, it's in there!

Those gold boxes have little bits of gold and silver in the boards. I used to break down all sorts of discarded materials for the metal.

10:10 is the 4th hook. Bottom center of the screen.

You work really hard saving the planet❤️

Those metal frames are for holding pots and pans and smaller one is for lids. Magic box is for boosting Lte signals. Its free unless you don't plug it in or return it. They charge $140.00. Carrolton, Texas has Epic fan factory that makes those fan blades and helicopter blades.

I would never get any dumpster diving done. I would be busy breaking down boxes and moving them to the recycle bin.

I used to work for sprint those magic boxes were free to customers and they would help boost signals. But sprint no longer exists so scrap them

The blades for a brand of fan called "Big Ass Fan" used in Pavillion venues

Awesome how he enjoys the little victories

You could use those blades for your spaceship

I returned a library book I found in a clean trash pile house clean out. 🙄😁 I got a thank you .

I've had several of the magic boxes. Sprint uses a high frequency and it is illegal to boost because the frequency is very close to the emergency band if you boost and interfere with the emergency band you'll get a knock on your door and a free ride to jail and a huge fine. The magic box is a booster but also a repeater it will cover a neighborhood. I bet you there is some gold in it.

That one dumpster with the shelves had to be a days pay. Great find

With my luck I would be rummaging around in a dumpster and a torso would tumble out of a bag right as the police were pulling up to see what I was doing. Then come to find out that the chainsaw I found in a previous dumpster was used to dismember after the hammer I happily plucked was used as the murder weapon. "You got the wrong guy officer. I'm the dude."

I wish I could find one of those "pot hangers" I've been wanting one for the kitchen

Mike at 10:07 on your vid it looked like the pot hanger hook was right at your feet in that dumpster.

The magic box gold are a wifi booster. 50 to 75 bucks each used. You really need to find out the retail used value of stuff before scrapping it. Whats scrap steel worth 5 bucks a ton. Like somone else said the meter panel can cost 100 to 250 used. If you sold the power meter box for 50 bucks thats a 1000% more then its value in scrap steel. Know what you've got do your online searches. Find out it use and value.

You work SOoooooo hard, I really admire you!!

I can't believe the amount of cardboard that gets thrown into the dumpsters

I wish everyone a great 2021!

I think on the pot hanger, that the small one hangs from the ceiling and the bigger one hangs from the small one by those rods. Probably why it was tossed , someone lost the 4th rod.

That’s some big money right there Mike the scavenger keep up the good work

Sprint Magic Box is a wireless small cell that can improve LTE data coverage within buildings and even within a certain range outside.

The "fan blades" are parts from an industrial louvered fan vent.

I WORK WITH YOU ANY DAY I WOULD LAUGH ALL DAY YOUR SO FUNNY THANKS FOR SHARING REAL LIFE GOD BLESS YA

There's a couple of things you can do with the Sprint gold. You said some were selling for $100 on eBay, so sell them on eBay for about $30 to $40/pc. Or just sell them to your electronics guy.

Ah yes the dreaded tomato cage, Cousin of the "Foul "Chicken Wire.

They should make some gloves with small Neodymium magnets on the finger tips, so you can pick up the small Ferrous scrap that falls on the ground

Hey guy whenever you find a paper shredder ALWAYS get the garbage can that goes with it, a lot of times they work and you can sell them on the local yard sale site on Facebook.Them shredders fit on the garbage can perfect. That wroght iron stuff sells good too folks go crazy for that stuff, you make more selling it then scrapping it!

You should have taken the entire wooden spool! I've seen them go for $50. Crafters LOVE them!!!

You could turn that pot hanger over (fancy scrolled part as legs) put a glass top on it to make a coffee table. Good for you scrapping so it doesn't go in a landfill. Nice.

I'm actually really curious how much those blades bring, please show a scrap run with those!

Those look like those fancy things that hangs over a island in the kitchen where you hang your pots and pans and stuff

I have one of those sprint boxes, they all come with a pretty nice 4000mah power bank

Signal boosters for customers like me who were not receiving signals inside of their solid concrete block construction homes.

The large boxes are a large ceiling fan in bigger warehouses, they turn slowly and moths air

You are correct there, the most un- recycling place I ever saw. No wonder our planet is in danger. Glad you are getting the metal out.

Yep those Sprint boxes still bring good money on EBay!!

Very very nice load. I bet you smelled like an outhouse. I’ve already told you that you need to keep a pair of rain boots in Dottie for the really wet dumpsters or even all of them. Lol Stay safe and God Bless

Those blades are just blank extrusions for building ventilation equipment. They cut them down to the size needed, but its easier to ship long blanks like that.

Mike please( always cut away from the sausage) I flinched a lot, keep safe from England

Salvage is a good thing rock on.

32:10 That’s an actual brand of fan. “Big Ass Fans”

Those aluminum fan blades look like window shades. We install them on the outside of buildings.

I am pretty sure those blades were from a warehouse or something similar. They are louvers that belong to the ventilation in the warehouse. There was probably an aluminum frame that they fit in that could be adjusted for airflow in the warehouse. Worked in a big warehouse back in the day, and we had several of those in the second floor of the warehouse. No matter how good your AC was, you need those vents to keep the air moving.

Your pot hanger the small one goes on the ceiling into a beam & the 4 hooks one hooks on that & the other hook hooks on the larger piece. It's one unit.

Those two links should tell you about all you need to know about the magic box gold.

I am in a storage warehouse , NEXT to a scrap metal place . The idiots still throw out scrap metal - including copper . My best find was $ 600.00 in Franklin's from the bank - tossed with paperwork ! There are working appliances , clothes I donate , tools , you name it !

The wood spools that the cable came on, make nice stools or tables, depending on size. The big blades could be for the huge windmills that produce power?

Gold boxes are LTE signal boosters

The small pot rack is a lid holder.

I’m thrilled the metal sent going to the land fills or ocean

Please Mike, tell us or show us what you make on the aluminum and all the rest of the stuff! Love your videos!! 👍🥰😃💕. 👵🏻

Right on Mike! We need more people recycling but where I live the cops see you recycling ( Dumpster Diving) they throw your ass in jail. Bummer!

Please buy a safety shoe!🤭😊

What I love about this program is the stuff he finds his way cool some of it just like wow that people throw that away Heck if I didn't have way too many surgeries done on me I'd probably be out there digging in it too why not thank you for taking me on your journey Mike you rock 😁

You work very hard. You keep a LOT of stuff OUT of the landfill. May You be well rewarded for your efforts

I was wanting to buy those wooden handles you had a few vids back!! I will pay for shipping!

Man, I would like to have those shelving units for my shed...

really nice tie down strap you left

I find it amazing that someone strapped those AL blades down to a pallet then used a forklift to put it in a dumpster. They basically just packaged them for easy moving to the scrapyard! Maybe they didn't have a truck to haul them.

So I became homeless the first week of april in 2020. The first 3 or 4 weeks into covid when things shut down. Talk about timing right. Anyway, I knew nothing about diving. In my second night out with this guy, I couldn't believe what h had found and graciously have half of to me. I was more concerned with looking for change I. Drive-thrus and parking lots tbh but he puts an envelope with 17 $20 starbucks gift cards in it. All of them active and never used. Like someone put them there. The best buy dumpster had a brand new, still taped shut and everything, sound bar in it. That was $120 online new I believe. But then, at the very end almost and again like it was left specifically for him, we find a manila envelope with two hundred bills in it. Nothing else and nothing on the dumpster to explain why. It was an office buildings dumpster so the envelope wasn't unusual but still. I have thought about that night quite a lot and I've come to the conclusion that somebody had to have been watching him for a few weeks or something because something like that just, idk, slim chance of a coincidence. The man was also very clean and respectful. So was I. In everything I did out there. As much as I could be anyway. There are those who choose the life and stay out there but then you have quite a lot of people forced into it like I was. Once out there, these activities become your only means of survival. Especially during the cold season when moods change and windows roll up. Harvest a crop and rotate fields to make the next crop healthy and respect what the earth gave you, hunt a deer and you skin it with respect and thankfulness for it's sacrifice, and jump in a dumpster to find value in things others would throw away and always make it look better then before you got there out of respect. not just for yourself but for your other fellow homeless as well. And it's common sense just to not crap what you eat. Take care all

He sounds like me when I come across a decent find

I love dumpster diving. Find all kinds of goodies

You need to mark your territory to keep those other scrappers out. lol

Did you forget the ceiling fan at the front of the open top?

You cut the most expensive thing with the straps lol. I’d never cut what they provided me to tie something down with either.

I agree with Tamara, go back to the dumpster and look again, she said it was under a piece of plastic.

love your videos but as a Brit, I'm sure my fellow countrymen and the Europeans who watch your videos must be as shocked as i am that the US doesnt seem to recycle at all

SCRAP 🤒FEVER , SEEMS TO BE GETTING PRETTY SERIOUS .LOOKS CONTAGIOUS!🤑
