Howdy, y'all! My name is Mike and I absolutely love scavenging for free stuff, random treasures, lost valuables and other interesting artifacts. I mainly rock the dumpster diving scene but can be found digging through trash curbside as well as scavenging the river bottoms for lost treasures in the summer months. Join me on my epic voyages!

In a nutshell, I ‘m an avid dumpster diver, scrapper, picker, treasure hunter and underwater connoisseur. I prowl the city streets in search of dumpster loot, curbside treasures & scrap metal as well as scour the river bottoms for lost valuables during the summer months when I can scrounge up enough money for gas. Be sure to stay subscribed to stay up to date with my latest expeditions, y'all!

The stripped wire casings is from when they tie the wires into a new panel, meters or splitter boxes. I use to collect all the snippets and left overs from the electricians and the copper tube snippets from the gas lines on the constructions sites I worked on. Make a couple of hundred bucks every three months with little to new effort.

Mike that pink bubble wrap is anti static and can be sold. There is good money in that. As far as those printers there is a mother board and memory that can go for gold scrap. You need to have an expert with you for part identifying parts. Good luck in your quests.

There’s a couple hundred dollars worth of bubble wrap in that there dumpster. The Townes Vodka according to google has “a dry medium body and a hot peppery finish. Ideal for Bloody Mary’s.”

I ordered from a jibber on Long Island,NY antistatic pink zipper lock bags. There are 2 sizes 3x5" & 6x9" bags. What ever he had I bought. I use them with a bag sealer to custom make up for parts. I had gold chips and sold for gold scrap. Good money made on antistatic esd proof.

I used to work for a distribution center and if there was one broken glass jar or bottle in a case, the whole case gets tossed and written off. The way I understand it, most companies won't take a chance of a piece of glass getting stuck under a cap, etc. They don't want the liability. Probably what happened with the vodka.
