Dumpster Diving "Let's Break It!"
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!

Never a dull moment with ya, Mike! Thanks for sharing this with us! Peace to all....💜💙💜💙💜💙💜
Breaking glass is sooo therapeutic! A neighbor had a big barrel and a huge stack of chipped and half broken cups and plates. We spent a great hour throwing them into the barrel. We had long sleeves and eye protection. It was a great sense of elation to break the glass.

I used to have a large number of parts cars which were used for parts to keep our old cars running. I knew a local girl who told me that she loved to smash windows and dishes, so every time that I was ready to send one off to the scrap yard I'd invite her over to break all the windows and lights and cut up the seats before the scrap truck came. She really got off on it.
Hi mike, I am hospital worker, the medical consumables are past expiry date therefore can't be used, you are right about doctors with no borders we collect it and some of them take it with them when they go overseas to operate in 3rd world countries / poor countries, on the other side you can check with some vets, some of them will be more than happy to use it for their charity work at animals shelters, nothing wrong with the stuff except that the sterility date has expired, As always fun to watch, keep the good work up 👍👍👍

Expired, recall, or defective. I worked in Central Supply.
The energy you come out with is amazing thx for all the vids
As someone who restores stuff as a hobby, especially axes, id love to get my hands on that sad sad axe 🤣🤣🤣 Also when I was a kid I always took those wooden wine boxes from my parents after they finished. I'd paint them and those were my "treasure boxes" 😄
Loved the glass breaking,I agree with all who gave him direction on the medical equipment,you find a lot of it! Have a great Thanksgiving to you and your wife
I remember working at a store doing stock work and clean up. It was a high end womens' clothing store and I would have to toss so much cardboard in the two dumpsters. Back then there were dumpster divers who would pull out all the cardboard and sell them at a paper recycling center. Now that cities are recycling cardboard all across the country it doesn't really pay much if any. I see so much cardboard boxes that Mike has to dig through to get to the scrap and dumpster treasures that I feel that it's such a shame that it's all going to the landfill.
This episode has it all mystery,drama,comedy,tragedy,our main character Mike is like a detective putting the story together,a refuse snoop 😅
When you smashed that glass it reminded me of the time my husband & I came home to find a shattered patio door. Our son had convinced our daughter that the BB gun wouldn’t break the glass no matter how many times you pumped it. Ha!!

That dumpster could ear you coming lol 😂
Happy Thanksgiving to you and your wife.

Mike and Axe.......kickin' glass and takin' frames!
Be safe, Happy Thanksgiving ❣ Stay well.
The people who go to Africa would LOVE stuff like this
Guten abend . 👍
Nice treasures ! good work yeah i love it
Funny how you threw the box and managed to get it to land without spilling everything
Why don't you pull the truck closer and fill it up rather then putting all of those computers on the ground? It would save you from picking up things twice
Finally some body Parts! :) good one
I guess you left them behind. I understand why. I didn't even think about getting caught with them. So...yeah...chuck 'em. LOL
Very nice find the dumpster awesome
It's good that you have a country, you can find anything and get all the fun. And in my country Russia and where I live in RB, rarely comes across some electronics.
Mike you should go through those boxes of med stuff sometimes they have stainless steel foresups or hemastats in the kits

I would report that medical dumping because of a potential biohazard.
@AndyHullMcPenguin

Unused medical products are more of a potential toxic hazard than a biohazard, however... I can almost guarantee that there are laws about correct disposal. Which means it is expensive to dispose of legally. So I have little doubt some smartass is faking the paperwork, salting that old expired sh*t into the local dumpsters, and keeping the big markup for "correct" disposal. I once found a stack of confidential data tapes in a dumpster, near a large local hospital. The tapes even helpfully said on the label what was on them. These things are meant to be disposed of in a controlled manner, and in accordance with the data retention policy, so probably verifiably destroyed on site. Not left out with the trash when the computer gets upgraded, so that some random passer by can pick them up and read the confidential medical records of half of the city. There are always people willing to cut corners to save or make a few bucks.
Old medical supply stuff makes for great prepper supplies. In case SHTF happens.
"When I Paint my Masterpiece" is originally a Bob Dylan song but later done by the Dead and others.
hey Mike. the expiration date on the package is for the sterilization. once opened they can be steralized again and resealed if given to the proper people
Open top you'll always be home sweet home to me lol like john denver song
Those are Vulcan ears like Mr. Spock had on Star Treck.
Mike those ears looked like Vulcan ears Live long and prosper.
Bit dodgy that medical stuff mike , bet it’s highly illegal to dump it as well sure it would need taking away

Mike if expired that's where it's supposed to be in the dumpster 🤣
Fast times at Ridgemont High , nice 👍 video man . Scraptty scrap
Storm types of wind , in Oklahoma . and forecasting to reach London England by tail end this week snow storms too. just be careful out there folks.
The packages are still sealed so you should get in touch with “Doctors without Borders” and ask them if they want it. You just never know. These Doctors use their own money and donations. 😊🌈🇨🇦
The Band also did Up On Cripple Creek. They were at Woodstock.
I don't smoke anything, but that little tank bong was awesome.
Mike Cover eyes when braking things! Please🤓

yes mike there are organizations that will take expired medical stuff even if expired but just not opened.. like in africa and other countries that have no equipment .i believe you can donate it to them if you find it not opened, or compromised
good job mikey stay safe
Lets go Curbside Mike

Monitors: *have stands* Mike: *puts them on the ground UPSIDE down*
Mike companies dump things because it is cheaper than the right thing!
I think I hit the mother load today someone left a big tote full of gold computer boards I’ve 300 of them and the first person I thought of was you thumbs up brother we are killing it this week
aww git dat red brass braah!!
Hello Mike , I'm fron Brazil
If you take apart the monitor there is some Lexan inside that fit nicely on the bottom of any router. otherwise sold easily for more than scrape
@19:05 Yes, that is a vent hood. I have one just like it above my stove.
the army truck thing is a crystal pipe,lol.
You can sell all those glass pipes as a lot for $50-$100 on a local app. Just put everything there in a lot, someone will snap them up quick. I know jack did on his channel. He found some big ones in a storage unit he bought. He sold them for a very good amount. The ones you found can bring in a couple of bucks foe you & your family.
In my area, Animal Shelters take donated medial supplies even if expired they will use.
" careful with that axe Eugene"
Yes. 😂😂😂👍👍

Hey Mike you missed the dryer vent hidden in the corner just before you found the ears!
Fun with Mikie.
Ear ear, Nice dive😀
20:32 lol someone is looking for their pipes
The difference between a Snibbitt and a Snabbit!
You might be able to still use the COA on win 7 computers to upgrade to windows 10. On many small form factor PCs the hard drive is hidden under the CD/DVD drive

Hey Mike, if you have a medical school around you they would love to take that expired equipment because they practice with it. Even your fire dept would know what to do with it. Just a thought. Take care
I like whaching all your video ilike you r chanel
Dude, I recognize the small PC's, the case without anything is quite popular on ebay
