Hey Mike, Those large gas cans are for mounting on the front or rear rack on 4 wheelers. Also gas caps are cheap, gas cans are expensive, people will buy them without the cap or spout.

I'm just a bit baffled why they leave it open and exposed next to other dumpsters full of scrap waste? If they 'want' it, why isn't it at least in a locked container away from other waste?

Those clear bottles in the first bin? I noticed they also had lids..we in the Bead business pay a LOT for them and can never find them that big! I would buy them!

Crafters would love to have those glass jars and the bag of lids for them.

My favorite little snibbits of scraps!!

Always a pleasure to see you at work stay safe.

I'll take it and tear their secrets out. Lmao Mike. Too funny

All those plastic containers make good garage sale stuff. On those gas cans, you can pick up spare lids at the hardware store.

LOL at the sign @ 9:04 - of course it's out of order, it's in a dumpster 😂 - sometimes I crack myself up.

I'm disabled but before I got really bad I was able to do dumpster picking like you. I watch your videos and miss doing that so much, people would laugh at me but man I was cleaning up literally. I loved it and am totally missing out. I found a strand of wires taped up in one bundle and I made 75.00 off of just that bundle of copper. That was one of my last finds and my extra money stuff finally ended and now I'm super poor but man I miss the extra few bucks I was able to make doing it. I'm really tall so I could literally reach the bottom of each of those most of the time, I only got massively hurt if I had to get in a lot. :) Keep up your awesome videos I really love em. :)

Yup, inveterate dumpster diver here. I'm going under the knife tomorrow for my second TKR (Total Knee Replacement). First was done two months ago and I can tell you that you don't want to mess up your knees. The recovery is murder. You'll never be able to kneel again. You'll never jump in and out of a dumpster again. You'll never go running again. On the other hand, after recovery you're pain free. I was bone on bone and chronic 10 pain for years before. I ain't complaining, just giving you the facts from this scrapper's perspective. Take it easy on your body bro. And wish me luck for tomorrow please.

You need to go.back and get them other gas containers if they dont have holes in them. You can buy lids for them. Guarantee $5 for just the container at yard sale.

Michael, I think you missed a few bits of brass in the big box by the dumpster. Also the books you threw back into the dumpster might have some resell bank on Amazon. Even if they don't, drop them off at a local library, they can always use more technical books like the 'Sand' one.😎😎😎 And it looked like there were a bag of lids to go with the plastic tubes; don't know if they'd sell at a garage sale, but would be great for crafting. Thanks for sharing such EXCELLENT ADVENTURES IN SCRAPING' with us. We really appreciate all you do. Loved the crayons/coloring book comment....LOL.

Mike you pass up on a great deal of items for a yard sale. Those plastic bottles for instance. They are great for putting shampoo conditioner etc...in when you’re traveling. Those gas cans are also great for yard sales. Just a suggestion. 😊🌈🇨🇦

I work at an apartment complex. Some good high end dumpster diving.

Yes you can buy lids, the large ones look to be one you attach to a gear rack for a truck or jeep.

If you find clean packing wrap that's not popped it sells fast on line. Reused packing material especially the white popcorn filler, sells very hot. No pun intended.

Remember always check and Banks luggage and bags of paperwork that look like they were jumped out of desk drawers for gift cards. Also check the netting underneath the couches for money and Goody's

The nook was a Barnes and Noble product. It was discontinued in 2016. You can still get books from other sources.

As kids, two of us were diving, back in the 60's. My friend opened a big box....full of cut up rotten animals. The stench was disabling. I couldn't climb out because I was puking so hard and afraid to breath. We later assumed that the animal hospital on the property had an incinerator failure so they used the dumpster instead. I hope it wasn't a regular practice. My gut ached for days from the barfing.

You could donate bag's you find to places that have foster kids. So they don't have to put their stuff in trash bags. Just a suggestion.
