Pride totally forgotten about, shame absolutely none. The joy of climbing in a dumpster, priceless.

when Im out scrappin nd come across something heavy .I say "Gotta be strong " wrks everytime.thanks for that Mike.

I've often thought if someone walks past a dumpster and Mike is in the bottom of it, they would think the dumpster is talking to itself.

Hi Mike. Regarding to ballast, you have the tools to open them and it's worthwhile. The copper is all tuck together in a single rectangular shape, all you need to do is remove the iron from it, which I explained in another if your vids how to do it... small ballasts usually have between 50 to 200g worth of copper, while the big ones , like the one you got on this vid, can go from 450 up to 700g. It's clean copper, no need to strip and all you need is a hammer and something with a wide tip so you can break the thin welding and the hit the middle or sides to make the iron slide out

Anytime I look into something, I say "What we got goin' up in here?" Burn the painting and dance naked around the flames.

Love it when you thank the dumpster.

You're a well mannered scrapper Mike! I like your character! you don't take what ever you think that it's for you! Congratulations! and God bless you and your family always!

It's such a trip to me that no one recycles their bottles and cans where you live. Maybe recycling centers in Texas are few and far between or? I'm in California and we dont throw away our bottles or cans. We recycle them, or if were extra lazy we set them beside the dumpster for someone else to pick up and recycle.

Scrappity scrap scrap...and don't look back!...lol

The cat sound again ......... Love it !!!!!!!!

Ohhhhh I am sooo in LOVE WITH THAT PICTURE 🤗🤗🤗🤗🇨🇦♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️ I swear that I’m going to stay up to date with your videos. In case you come across anything like that again. I’d even send you the packaging and postage costs to ship it to me. ♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️🇨🇦. Yes you were right to leave those dog chews behind. The oils on it goes rancid after just a short time. 😊🙏

@32:04 Thanks for the shout out Mike. Your videos never dissapoint!

Who throws away 9:29 full bottles of drinking water in a dumpster? Every container disposed of in that way sends a bottle to a landfill and removes it from use. I’m paying nearly a thousand dollars a year for water district taxes and people throw the stuff in the trash. Empty out your bottles of drinkable liquids if you’re not going to finish them. Once in the landfill you can’t get it back. 15:40 we always referred to that as “hardware cloth”. Comes in a variety of mesh sizes at least from 1/8” to 1/2”. Wrap some of that around the open ends of your roof top vent stacks, keeps birds, squirrels and rats from crawling into them and coming up through your toilet...yes, it does happen. 30:40 make sure the ballast is PCB free before you cut it open. Should be on the label.

I love Cold Fronts... and I'm very familiar with dumpsters... Cool video.

You are the most interesting and funny guy I bet your wife is so happy

Thanks for bringing me along for your dumpster adventures always a fun time thank you for being so upbeat

Think you're looking for the word: "Dexterity" for the smaller stuff, Thanks for the ride along and I think some of that "space" stuff has one -way valves on them

blue square makes pool cleaner systems, that one item is about 300 bucks and the smaller fittings in the box are turbo vents

Yup cut open the ballast Mike & more spaceship parts 👍

Can't wait to see the tee shirt.

What a great haul Mike!! Make way on that spaceship!!

Awesome!thanks for sharing your story

I just love the way you justify what you do you are fantastic xxxxxx

You always find great stuff. As always thanks mike😊😊😊

Can't believe I just saw Mike leave behind a motor! Lol

Awesome video. lots of good energy and the cat cracks me up.

Thank you Mike again!

Ballasts consist of a step up transformer, a couple of chokes to limit the current to the lamps and a capacitor. And the whole case is filled with tar. Cutting one open will be messy. You will have to heat it to melt the tar out and the windings are quite small. Prolly not enough copper to be worth it. But would make a cool video.

I think that pool doowee would make a good antimatter engine. If someone were to be intoxicated with lava lights and stuff that picture would be very cool.

My nephew and I love your bulldog

Great job. Enjoyed your video 😎. Thanks for sharing 😅

Those big squirrel cage blowers make some kick A shop fans.

The painting you found is cool . I really like it and I am not sure why 😊

You should have taken that squirrel cage fan next to that dumpster it's from a furnace makes a really powerful shop fan I got 2 of them had people wanting to buy them when using it at a garage sale.

Always a great video !!!

I'm sure some people doing their own fiber optic cables would buy it.

Over the Shoulder Bolder Holders 😃😃😃😂😂😂😎

Mike! Beauty is in the eye of the beholder! The horse print has GOT to speak to someone! 😁

Imagine walking at night, and you happen to hear "those are some high class boobie cups, BOOBIE CUPSSS"😂

Como actúas y haces ruido me encanta cómo trabajas tan sorprendido con todo saludos!

Lol boobie cups i thought they were called slingshots 😆

You should have your wife up cycle that horse pic. And re sell it. Do something with that frame to glam it up for a little girls bedroom. It’s old enough to be a glam retro piece. Sell it for about $20 like that on Etsy...

That is Nice Found .

I enjoy watching your videos from Vallejo, CA. (got to be strong/lets roll) . "GO ASTROS"

F love the painting!

Kerbside picking mike awwwwwwww!

The 80s stuff is back in and yes it sells

Yep, like a colored lights dancing water fountain.

Like the pastel colored horse pic. I would buy it if I was in H town.

Woot woot let's get it

Hey Mike … you can still use those padded envelopes as padding when sending on ebay in another box etc. I would take them all day long. Love your vids big time!!! Take care :)

Hey, Mike you should take apart those microwaves they have a big transformer in them and that's worth more then the little bit you get from iron

I enjoy your videos and the cat scream. Thanks for sharing your story and cut that ballast up.

Yes please show us you opening the large baluster

Go get it Mike

That's an over the shoulder boulder holder y'all!

Copper coated in a black tar resin that unless they have something new to remove it and is safe for the in environment, everything you can do is illegal. Last time I did that, was yrs ago in vm Oklahoma, we lit a huge bonfire and tossed several on it after removing shell. I later found out it was illegal and the Rangers could have sited me big time. You can slam the resin hard but won't remove it enough to seperate the copper from it. We use to slam the wire on a rock, rinsed it in the OK river so we hot clean prices. But.. you will see.. its hard n chips like thick glass.

15:50 hardware cloth.

The rings is probably from welding practice when one is done they have a torch equipped machine that cuts round material in an angle so that it is set up for the next weld, that way they can reuse pipes several times per foot, same can be done for flat welds !

Boa tarde amigo Mike um abraço do Brasil até mais

In Kentucky we call that rat wire, because it keeps the rats out.

Cooool bag

To bad fiber optic sheaths couldn't be used in the 3-d machines. Thanks for sharing.

instructive night video

Good job

Good hustle

Bună seara Mike felicitări din Romania❤❤❤❤😂😂😂😂

I like the pating

Snag that fiber. Usually big bucks to buy it. IT guys or consultants that install networks will buy that.

Around the shoulder boulder holders

...well pick it up, and put it in the dumpster, drive away, come back and remove from the dumpster, and put it in Dottie!

Hardware cloth? For our archeological digs!

Hey Mike great video the fiberglass cable was at least 300 feed throw it on eBay and you will be amazed what it delivers denkstof is really expensive

** PEST CONTROL folks will use that small screening to use as "exclusion" diversion when there is a mouse or rat infestation in homes... also used on house vents to keep critters out.

if there was a vapor shop there, they can't ship juice any more(flat rate mail)

Aunque no entiendo nada de lo que dice pero me encantan tus vídeos 👍🏋️💙

That white chair or bar stool looked nice,you could sale it.

last month mike you pick up a blackstone grill some of them are around 600 to 800 so watch for them

You always say why don't they leave it out next to the dumpster, but you never take it if it's left there. Obviously they were saving you the trouble of pulling it out

Gostei muito do videio

LMAO!!! Be Quite!! 🤫🤫🤫🤫🤫🤫🤫🤫

Looking forward to the ballast video

An Ozone System ... POOL PARTS... from Vegas.. WHOLE SYSTEM on clearance new at 526. If those are parts... then more ... but you need to dbl check.. if they are parts your suppose to put it together or they sent extra parts then the guy tossed them you can get over 600 if parted out. But. For faster sale, sell as a group .. make sure you do or dont have the full system ..

I think that stuff you called fencing is called Hardware Cloth

Mike I think that bag is for like shoes or maybe cuz it's got your toiletry bag with shaving and everything you ought to try it on eBay it looks like it's high quality

Very nice video.kamusta ka na mike

Fiber Optic cable can be scrapped for like 70-80 cents a pound

I would love to hear a lion roar instead of a kitty cat just once, or a chimp!

3 meters of Fiber optic cord with no ends on ebay for $9.49! You had a LOT of money there! :-)
