Dumpster Diving "Coco Mango For Snow Cones"
Ойын-сауық
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!

I'm in Valinhos SP I'm 62 years old and I also like to watch your KZread channel for me it's a pleasure to see you messed up with these objects that you collect from the trash
Dumpster diving is all about stealth and quietness, you make enough noise to wake the dead. Lol. Another classic episode. 👍👍
I love your videos!!! I’m an ER nurse and and I’ve had a few bad days, one was on Saturday. You’re videos are just what I need on those bad days. You have a great sense of humor. I knew nothing about scraping but I’ve learned a lot and I get happy when you find great, odd finds. Keep up the great work Mike. God bless you. ✌🏼I’m so glad I ran into your video. I think about a year ago. Been looking forward to them since.

The factory floor mats, when we replaced ours with weathertec, went in the back on top of the spare tire. Because kneeling on a carpet floor mat is way more comofrtable than kneeling on the chipseal shoulder when changing a tire, no matter what the weather.
3 ring binders are kida expensive. Would be good for the kids going back to school
I kept checking and refreshing the feed and Voila! It's Mikey in the house!!

Glad to know us people in new england are not the only ones that seem to get rain way too often this summer. I pour concrete so it creates real problems with getting loaded concrete trucks around the job sites with so much mud.
That graphics card! I’d love to come across that in the trash!

I'm only 42 and it's not as easy for me to climb in as it was 10 years ago. I wonder if he has ever done like me and slipped when going to hop in and rake both shins down the edge of a dumpster. I stood there leaning against it for what felt like an hour swearing I was done lol. Actually I was back out the next day.
Another awesome video mike the scavenger!
Dude I can't believe how much I love dumpster diving lol... I never did it until I started watching your videos and now it's where most of the scrap I get comes from... and I always go to places that are doing construction and been getting a lot of wire and good stuff

Hey Mike- there is no mercury in florescent bulbs, they are filled with Argon gas. Only antique neon light's were filled with Mercury!
@JimNichols

On average, CFLs contain about four milligrams of mercury sealed within the glass tubing. ... No mercury is released when the bulbs are intact (i.e., not broken) or in use, but mercury vapor and very small beads of mercury can be released when a CFL is broken. www.epa.gov/cfl/what-are-connections-between-mercury-and-cfls#:~:text=On%20average%2C%20CFLs%20contain%20about,sealed%20within%20the%20glass%20tubing.&text=No%20mercury%20is%20released%20when,when%20a%20CFL%20is%20broken.

Gene -There IS mercury in all fluorescent light bulbs and tubes, but won't harm you if not broken. They should be turned in for proper disposal so the mercury doesn't wind up in landfills, as they will get broken and release the mercury into the environment.

@@georgiadavison4394 there is no mercury in modern florescent bulbs- they havn't used mercury in florescent lights since the 70's my dear! I worked in the industry for several years- modern flourescent lights contain Argon gas which is not toxic nor harmful to the invironment! We use ARGON to shield welds in welding, it removes the oxygen from the atmosphere around the welds to prevent carbon buildup in the welds-.. Look it up if you don't believe me- mercury was removed from the process in the 70's at the same time we removed lead from paint! Due to it's toxicity to human's and the environment! What you are thinking of is NEON lighting which uses different elements to change colors in the light's- in that case red is mercury!
Sad to see a Viking dish washer in the trash. That's good stuff

Another great video❣️ BTW those torture devices are what my mom used to use with a rotisserie spit in the grill. Great Chickens in the days before Sam’s Club rotisserie chicken were even thought of yet. 😉
Missing you Mike! Hope all is well with you and yours.
A little juice never hurt anyting LOL
Always good to watch. Love from the UK.

Loved it Mike, awesome you found a decent graphics card 👍😁
Hey Mike, the easiest way to get the tubes out of those light fixtures is to lay it flat and step on one end. The end will bend outward and the light tubes all come free at once.
Hey Mike pulling out all the stops on getting that scrap huh?
Always awesome video , and you find the most awesome stuff.
Hay mike why didn’t you grab the cord and remote for that huge broken Tv. Could have sold the remote people lose those things all the time or their dogs eat them Lol

Truly amazing that a dishwasher doesn't even last long enough to get dirty!
You should have a pair of BBQ tongs to get those snippets out of the juice!
Hey Mike, great finds! I just wanted to mention that whenever you find a fan you should break off the fan blades and leave them behind. They just take up extra space and aren't worth anything. Keep on scavenging!
Too bad that Viking dishwasher was damaged. Very expensive and top-of-the-line appliance.
I like when you go the scrap yard! Just subscribed about a week ago, love watching you Mike!

Same here in Oregon. Plus they don’t recycle everything like we do so all the metal and fun stuff goes away before we can get to them. You have to find roadside stuff or look on Craigslist and sites like that. I like mikes way better!

Those torture devices are to put on a rod to hold meat to rotisserie.
You work in a restaurant. Purchase a box of food gloves that way you can put them over your gloves to help keep them dry. When finished leave them in the dumpster. Cheap. And healthier for you. I use them all the time when I have to handle nasty stuff.
Mike trying his hardest not to break the tube light then the kids come along us hit each other with them.
Mike ? What did mama think about that load of tie wire !! Bet she loved your pay day ,
