Dear Mike, I am an elderly lady who loves your channel. When you post on weekends, it brightens my day! I am a retired college and high school science teacher and I just love watching you get into the dumpsters and finding so many interesting things. I don't get out much because I am in a wheelchair, but I feel like I'm right beside you when you dig. I'm telling you this in case you ever start to doubt that your channel is meaningful. I mean more than just being entertaining. For me, it's freedom from my chair and age to feel like I'm doing something exciting. Yes, I live vicariously through you and I really enjoy it. UA-cam can suck on the weekends! Much appreciation - monica
I can’t believe that people would throw away thousands of dollars worth of inventory. That is just insane. And everyone wonders why companies go belly up.
I have personally thrown away a million dollars worth of Hastelloy pipe and pipe fittings because Dupont said to do it. We were never told why we were to trash it into the metal roll off boxes. One of their engineers told us that was a bit over a million dollars worth. The scrap company made out like a bandit on that deal. 6 mths later, they bought more Hastelloy pipe and fittings for that project. We guessed what we threw away was not in spec, making it unsafe to use.
People have paid for that stock they have over estimated what the job needs so it stays in stores and takes up store space and they have a clear out and along came Mike and scooped it up it's being in the right place at the right time some dollars worth of parts for someone make more flea market than scrapping it
I see that a lot ..I am a retired Residential/Commercial GC in Florida and the construction dumpsters are gold mines for me...and that big roll of EMT would have been sold online and NOT scrapped for steel! And THAT electrician should have his license revoked for all that waste! Thats criminal and he frauded the customer with that much waste!
It just dawned on me you could have just taken the dumpster and dumped it off at your place if you have one and get electrical contractors in your area to buy what they want and then scrap it all to recycle
Csak az a baj hogy ö ezt nem ismerte fel .. leadta az egészet vashulladéknak .. szaros 200 dollárért ..! Kereshetett volna azon a konténeren vagy 3-4000 dollárt ha meghírdetve továbbadja !!!
@@scottuntz4534 Exactly.....when ten minutes of reboxing and placing an ad would bring just slightly less than retail price for that stuff. I made lots of money from dumpsters because I knew what I had and sold it for a fair price to the right people and didn't just settle for a few pennies on the dollar at some scrap yard.
@@scottuntz4534yeah, I would much rather make $.10 on the dollar and walk away with $500 instead of $100. There's contractors that would jump on buying that stuff as one large lot.
That he did but as usual he scrapped everything for a little of nothing. You can always count on him to throw away money because he is too impatient to wait a short time to actually sell the things he finds to someone who will actually use them even though he would have made literally 20 times as much as he gets for scrapping it. If he would actually sell the stuff online he would be rich
Dude, you are an absolute Beast! I'm never short of amazed at the things you find out there. While you're making content you're also helping keep so much waste out of the landfills which is quite a noble cause. Thanks and keep up the good work man. 💪🏻
Mind blown! Thank you for rescuing all that metal from the landfill. I truly can't believe all that stuff is thrown away. I bet you were sore the next day.
The hole that was dug in order to produce this metal, was much larger than the room that this metal would have taken up in a landfill. The same could be said for every bit of ____________. There is no shortage of hole-space in the ground.
About halfway through this video you were going strong and I’m dizzy and worn out!! You are the hardest working scavenger on you tube, leave no scrap behind.
As a business owner I have to say watching the first part of this, I almost die I little inside. Most if not all of that is new and cost a small fortune. 🤯 Happy for you all the same. Keep hustling out there!!!👍
I used to clean for landlords. Businesses fell behind, landlord locked them out, then they’d hire me to empty the place out. I never would have put this in a dumpster tho….
It most likely would not have ended up in a landfill. In the states pretty much all trash/dumpsters go to transfer station were metal is removed. Even trash companies need to make money. So they also sort everything to get out anything that is valuable.
Thank you so much for the total at the end!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! FYI, I’ve seen every episode, glad to see you hit pay dirt! Would love to see the other totals, but I understand it tough to keep it all separated.
@@mariancrist5087I was thinking the same thing. A lot of energy was used, scooping up and tossing the handfuls of scrap. My shoulders and arm muscles would be sore afterwards.
OhMike, this will go down as on of your best! I’m impressed by your motivation, perseverance, and strength to load this in a single session! It’s an awesome motivational video, my hat’s off to you. Blessings to you and the family. ❤
This is freaking crazy thousands and thousands of dollars worth of metallic merchandise discarded like confetti how can anyone possibly believe that all of these valuable items end up in a dumpster that’s crazy and a very expensive mistake however it’s fortunate that” Mike the Scavenger “is still the seeker of all things metallic and nothing gets lost in the process
Mike, a lot of people in my area I'm making dragonflies out of fan blades, and are making butterflies out of the round fan blades. They are selling for 40-50 dollars a pair,depending on style and finishing. Some are really beautiful. Just another way to repurpose. Thanks for sharing with us!
Holy Cow!!! As I was watching this I thought "You need a shovel!" and sure enough you said it! Love this video and you deserve this kind of haul...stay safe!!!!
I think instead of doing inventory for the year end books. They took the loss to off set too much profit or they depreciated it out as absolute material. It’s a big win for mike.
OMG, what a haul saved from the landfill. I see Betty has new side boards that came in handy for this haul. They look real nice, but I know that is your craftsmanship style.
Mike, you should give us a tour of your garage. How you store stuff, how you separate stuff, what you keep for personal use and what you keep to scrap. That would be interesting
Old BW is going to be down on the overloads with that haul. It’s a lot of work but it looks like a one and done. You saved a lot of gas. Great job Mike
Amazing the amount of “waste” you’ve saved from the landfill, and it’s crazy what gets thrown out on a daily basis. Glad you’re able to take all this and make a nice little chunk of change on others garbage.
I’d love to find a dumpster like that! I’d start scrapping that day. Love your videos, fun to watch and educational as well. Thanks for doing what you do!
Some of these, some of those, some of them, and more of those. It turned into a mountain of it all. I'm tired just watching you Mikey. Great video 😊❤❤❤
You could almost hear Betty going Ahhhhh after all that weight was taken out. Nice work mate saving the planet one dumpster at a time. Keep up the good work from Down Under.
I'm glad Mike saved this from being wasted.. couldn't they have called local charities who take in this type of inventory..Mike working hard today...and yes you needed a shovel
Mike, I have to say I find these videos terribly addicting to watch for some reason. I am constantly surprised by what you find in dumpsters and you are always so upbeat and positive which makes the videos even more entertaining. Thanks for sharing!!
I am constantly amazed at how much electrical stuff you keep finding. Every time I go to the supply house they are out of stock on everything. Now I know why.
I could see mykes garage with huge piles with flag sticking out the tops,with labled,little stuff,big stuff, small screws, every screw,more small stuff. Alotta the same stuff,missalane stuff,i left nothing behind pile. I would do the same. F'n love you myke.. There is no shame in the game,nun what so ever. You have a good heart . Thank you for being you..

Well, done, Mike! Maybe a shovel could be carried on your truck for something like this in the future!♥️♥️♥️
Monica, Thanks for all you did for the future of this great country! Love You!
So sweet ❤
So happy to hear I'm not the only one ridding a wheelchair. Thanks so much for sharing your thoughts. I Feel much the same way.
I’d recommend watching locker nuts. It’s storage locker based but he too is very good at bringing you along for the ride.

Looks,like a warehouse clean out just waiting for you one dumpster and Betty White is full
Paydirt! Thanks for saving it from the landfill 😊

As a retired industrial electrician, this one just about broke my heart. So much money thrown away.
Yeah a yard slar could have done some.
I see that a lot ..I am a retired Residential/Commercial GC in Florida and the construction dumpsters are gold mines for me...and that big roll of EMT would have been sold online and NOT scrapped for steel! And THAT electrician should have his license revoked for all that waste! Thats criminal and he frauded the customer with that much waste!
What a waste of perfectly good electrical equipment/supplys
It just dawned on me you could have just taken the dumpster and dumped it off at your place if you have one and get electrical contractors in your area to buy what they want and then scrap it all to recycle
Thats terrible....
Wow gives new meaning to one stop shopping in the dumpsters
Friends,
I have been an electrician for 21 years. The sound of all that hardware soothes me, like a nursery rhyme. Perfect for relaxing to
Thank you
I want to see the scrap yard run on this one, unbelievable!!
Same holly cow that was some major s srapping load.
me too!!
190$ for the iron
Someone should be in trouble for throwing away all that stuff
I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again “ Mike the Scavenger is the hardest working man on UA-cam “
I was sweating just watching him man’s a grafter no doubt 😂
You sir are right
One of them,I love the S&P man too
s&p man sucks@@LisaCates-j8i
Canadian Treasure Hunter works day and night. I don’t think he ever sleeps.
You know the getting is good when Mike is quiet.
BHahaha 😂😂😂
That magnet is a real time saver
I could watch this all day... I love dumpster diving... 70 years old here.... LOL
Hey Mike, Wow you hit the mother load with this one. Companies are so wasteful. Congrats on this one. You sure do work hard. Stay safe. ❤
40 min of cut footage? This absolutely had to have taken hours. And you kept going through all of it. Props man! 👏👏👏
As a former commercial electrician you really hit the jackpot on that dumpster! You got thousands of dollars worth of stuff!
Csak az a baj hogy ö ezt nem ismerte fel .. leadta az egészet vashulladéknak .. szaros 200 dollárért ..!

Hi Mike , i was so amazed of building items that was in the bumper as it was just a pure waste of money.
Dude, you are an absolute Beast! I'm never short of amazed at the things you find out there. While you're making content you're also helping keep so much waste out of the landfills which is quite a noble cause. Thanks and keep up the good work man. 💪🏻
That’s got to be one of the best dumpsters you have ever jumped in
Mind blown! Thank you for rescuing all that metal from the landfill. I truly can't believe all that stuff is thrown away. I bet you were sore the next day.
He got very quiet towards the end. Yes tired and maybe, speechless at the sheer waste?
The hole that was dug in order to produce this metal, was much larger than the room that this metal would have taken up in a landfill.
The same could be said for every bit of ____________.
There is no shortage of hole-space in the ground.
Cleanest dumpster for miles ! Love everyone of your videos , Mike the Scavenger is one hard working man
This was definitely the mother load. What a find. You deserve it with all your hard work. Keep up the good work.
About halfway through this video you were going strong and I’m dizzy and worn out!! You are the hardest working scavenger on you tube, leave no scrap behind.

FYI, I’ve seen every episode, glad to see you hit pay dirt!
Would love to see the other totals, but I understand it tough to keep it all separated.
These tedious small parts dumpsters are so much work which make you feel so much better about it when you finally get paid. Nice find Mike!!
I think a dustpan would have faster. The magnet is also a good thing to have
Remember......work smarter not harder.
It's a mountain of goodness.
@@mariancrist5087I was thinking the same thing. A lot of energy was used, scooping up and tossing the handfuls of scrap. My shoulders and arm muscles would be sore afterwards.
Wow what a wonderful day spent with Mike and Betty. Y'all made my day.❤❤❤❤
Morning coffee with my favorite scraper.
This has got to be right up there for one of your most productive dumpsters yet. Wow!! Love your new magnet!
A determined soul. Mike the bionic scavenger !!!
A valuable vlog for you Mike.
You collected a lot of scrap.

Who needs a gym with dumpsters like that!
Can’t believe that was all headed to the landfill…thank goodness Mike you found all of those things
We never miss a video from here in the uk. We have never seen anyone work so dam hard for money and we take our hats off to you. Keep them coming! 😊
Holy Cow!!! As I was watching this I thought "You need a shovel!" and sure enough you said it! Love this video and you deserve this kind of haul...stay safe!!!!
The stuff you find never ceases to amaze me.
I think instead of doing inventory for the year end books. They took the loss to off set too much profit or they depreciated it out as absolute material. It’s a big win for mike.
Mike - Like everyone else I’m utterly amazed. Sort of appalled too. I’m happy you were there to make something of it. Well done.
OMG, what a haul saved from the landfill. I see Betty has new side boards that came in handy for this haul. They look real nice, but I know that is your craftsmanship style.
Your wife has to be very proud of how hard you work to bring home the money.
😂
Mike is probably the hardest working dumpster diver of all time !!! Another job well done !!!
Awesome find. Lots of work but well worth it. Great job.
He probably makes more from UA-cam than he does from the scraps
I've heard ad rates can be cruel and unpredictable. Up and down for seemingly no reasons@@HopeStreetWoodworks
It's really good to see a man making an honest living by working hard and not being afraid to get his hands dirty. All credit to him.
The appropriate reaction is "Omg"!❤
Yes. I'm 72 and I too love watching you get scrap and saving it from the landfill. You are great!
We watch every one of your videos! This was amazing!! Mike and Cindy
WHAT A MAGNIFICANT DUMPSTER!
Scrap mana from heaven. Go Mike!
Wow that was a lot of scrap not a bad payday thanks for sharing Mike
Mike, you should give us a tour of your garage. How you store stuff, how you separate stuff, what you keep for personal use and what you keep to scrap. That would be interesting
If he had a garage he wouldn't throw brand new electrical parts together into scrap metal container
But he does have a garage. He showed it on a video when they first bought the house before he had put things in it
tempo 28:57 minutos, faltou na caminhonete uma pá e a pegador de grama pra recolher estás peças miúdas de sucata na caçamba de lixo...
That dumpster bottom is so clean😮
Lucky it wasn’t full of dumpster juice!
This is the epitome of the old saying, "Be careful what you wish for."
One hell of a lick that mike and happy your showing us again what you got for it.
WOW! the Dumpsters Gods where with you when you found all that ! Amazing!
Old BW is going to be down on the overloads with that haul. It’s a lot of work but it looks like a one and done. You saved a lot of gas. Great job Mike
Mike, this video is wearing me out! Maybe you need a snow-shovel for shoveling the bottom of dumpsters like this out. What a haul!
Or a grain shovel. If you mount it on the truck somewhere so you would have it all the time.
Great haul!
I need a nap after that haul.😂
When you can hit a lick like that on the first dumpster you know it's going to be a good night! 👍
The plastic extenders are 1.48 each at Lowe's
@@virginiacluck2647wow!!
Amazing the amount of “waste” you’ve saved from the landfill, and it’s crazy what gets thrown out on a daily basis. Glad you’re able to take all this and make a nice little chunk of change on others garbage.
This ought to be a definition of a dream dumpster: not full of crap you have to dig through and full of goodies.
I love it when Mike hits a lick!
Yes,the new magnetic broom was working very hard for you Mike. I bet this is the ultimate scrappers dream to come true.
I’d love to find a dumpster like that! I’d start scrapping that day.
Love your videos, fun to watch and educational as well.
Thanks for doing what you do!
You are my favorite scavenger, love watching you at work.
Some of these, some of those, some of them, and more of those. It turned into a mountain of it all. I'm tired just watching you Mikey. Great video 😊❤❤❤
OMG!!! I've never gotten that much stuff out of a hundred dumpsters. You are one fortunate scrapper. Scrap on man!!!
What a great surprise to not only see you posted a new video but also a nice long one. Thanks Mike.
Guess you never thought you would ever have to think about carrying a shovel to scrap for metal?
Great idea
I was thinking the same, a snow shovel and a home depot bucket would have helped.. :)
The open top that keeps on giving ! Great score Mike! It looks like someone closed shop !
What happiness Mike! It's like Gold!!! I hope the truck's suspension can take it! One thing your missing, is a shovel!!!
You definitely hit heavy metal there. I love your drive and the conversation you can have with us. The is no one else like you Mike!!!
Oh Betty hasn't ever see the likes of that dumpster before!!! Holy smokes!! What a haul!!!
Congratulations Mike you hit the mother load.
Bettys first honey hole haul!!! I love it you find dumpsters like that.
You could almost hear Betty going Ahhhhh after all that weight was taken out. Nice work mate saving the planet one dumpster at a time. Keep up the good work from Down Under.
Well hello there Mike!!!! I guess you got your new magnet at the right time!!!🤠🤠
Awesome find Mike! You definitely hit the mother load!
Calling out to the pack, it’s time to party!!😂
I'm glad Mike saved this from being wasted.. couldn't they have called local charities who take in this type of inventory..Mike working hard today...and yes you needed a shovel
only charity that may take is habitat for humanity, but they dont do industrial so most would be useless
I could feel Mikes heart thumping through my monitor!!!! What a haul!
Hi Mike. Been on before. Love the video.
Ad an old now retired electrician.
MAN THATS A HAUL.
THATS THOUNDS IN REAL MONEY IF SOLD BACK. SOMEHOW.
Wow what a hall Mike, that's got to be one of your best finds yet. Keep um coming.
What a haul, nice job Mike!
This was great. All that work. Wish more people worked that hard
Omg! I thought you would never get to the end of all that! You work so hard and so fast. You were on a mission.
New side walls for Betty?? Nice 👍🏻
Most excellent Mike!
Mike, I cannot believe it. You really hit the jackpot.
Outrageous!! And guess who pays for it in the end? Us...the consumer! Thanks for the rescue Mike.
No crumbs left great clean up of that dumpster,you’re the best Mike
Finaly watched the rest, that was incredible bro, -2 here in indy but didnt stop me finding junk ✌️
Mike, I have to say I find these videos terribly addicting to watch for some reason. I am constantly surprised by what you find in dumpsters and you are always so upbeat and positive which makes the videos even more entertaining. Thanks for sharing!!
Fabulous digging today! I am amazed by your perseverance. 🤩
I am constantly amazed at how much electrical stuff you keep finding. Every time I go to the supply house they are out of stock on everything. Now I know why.
Holy moly! You scored big time! Love the " one and done " days. You deserve a " metal" 😂🤣😂❤️🥰 Love all your videos! ❤
This guy is doing a great job making money and I enjoy seeing his video. Continue for more. Thank you
Now that was a dumpster!😮😮😮
All I can say is WOW! Good that you got your magnet back for this one!
OMG That one dumpster was freaking full of good stuff. WOW!!
My favorite parts are watching you struggle with the huge pieces. You're a beast!
I could see mykes garage with huge piles with flag sticking out the tops,with labled,little stuff,big stuff, small screws, every screw,more small stuff. Alotta the same stuff,missalane stuff,i left nothing behind pile. I would do the same. F'n love you myke.. There is no shame in the game,nun what so ever. You have a good heart . Thank you for being you..
Wow, that’s crazymazing! You could damn near start a supply company with all that!
