In the 70’s I use to raid the Kmart dumpster for my shoes. They’d use a box knife, slice them once and toss. My shoemaker would sew them up for a couple of bucks. High top, steel toed work boots were my favorite. 😊

@Derrick Finzer when I was in high school and wanted something I had to pay myself and scrap didn't pay as much back then but there was an abundance of it everywhere 😎

Wish I had known about dumpster diving in the 70’s! We had a Kmart. I guess most towns did back then. Man, the things I must have missed in those dumpsters!! Lol!

I found more stuff in the dumpster behind K-Mart in Great Bend, KS then I ever found in the store. Best find was one of the flashing blue lights, it lit our porch for 3 years of college.

Hey dude you don't have to look in dumpsters for your fans we're right here.

You go Mike! Feel better soon!

That’s a carbonator assembly that makes Soda water. It has a stainless steel tank with a brass pump & motor. It’s what Coke & Pepsi installs with their fountain machines.

Great show Mike. ❤❤❤❤❤. You make my day!!!

Wow, thank you!

It’s so great when you find new stuff like the crutches and you take the time to find a new home them. It would be an awful shame if they ended up in the land fill.

22:57 Mike's a fan of dumpsters like that - full of scrap!

Awesome video as usual Mike scraping, donating stuff and setting an example for the rest of us your one of a kind!! Hope recovery is going well and we can watch you dumpster diving soon. From your fans in Alberta take care and stay safe!

Is there a recall on the crutches? Maybe a bad batch ? Look at them good before donating They are aluminum $$$$

Great video again Mike, hope you are ok. Greetings from Belgium

Another great night scrapping. Thanks for taking us along. I hope your healing well, sure seems like it. 😊 Take care and be safe out there.

thank you for always taking us with you videos

4:14 everytime I see one of these open tops full of materials, I always want to ask Mike to build an off grid tiny home purely out of trash. (not counting screw or nails or fasteners.) I think that would be so super cool!

Hi dude you got loads of scrap tonight love when you get loads of stuff your site is great your so lively all the time keep up the good work 😎🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿👍

Yessss, I'm so in the mood for this... let's go for some Mike time!!!!

My mother is on oxygen 24/7 & about 3 weeks ago I found a new like condition walker. And I thought of her as she needs help as she is walking. So I'm hoping you find good home for the medical supplies you found in the video. ❤💕

That was an excellent outing today Mike u found some great stuff can’t believe that hole box of bread new crutches they were a great find and hope you are well on the mend after your surgery mate and love that u thought about your fans and saved up some videos to keep us entertained while you are recovering that proves how much u love your viewers keep up your great work mate

Great to see you again out and about

Really enjoy watching Mike.

Mike you find the oddest stuf. Well worth the watch. 🙏🏻👍❤️

In the early 80s when I was a kid my friend and I would dive the Radio Shack dumpster. Cool pickins. Good times👍

Hope you do a follow up taking one of the big boxes apart , Great Job Mike.

That last one was a gold mine of good stuff for microscrapping.

Thanks for the Action Mike

You're doing great Mike, great great job. Please take care and stay safe while you're out there dumpster diving. 👍👍👍❤️❤️❤️😎😎😎

Hope you're keeping well love watching the videos no one can do it like you Mike

Hey Mike, I hope you are feeling better each day. I'm sure you will be jumping in and out of the dumpsters in no time. Take care, be safe and get well.

I see people dumpster diving in Ireland too. Such a cool thing to do. I'm a big fan

Mike, I loved your cave art on the wall before you painted! A man of many talents.❤️

Great finds!!!!Thanks for the adventure!!!!!

When I watch you drop from the top of the big open top dumpster I get a weird feeling in my legs as though it's myself that's just dropped off the dumpster. I do hope that you haven't had a bad landing and injured yourself. Stay safe and keep on getting those scrappy scraps. You are one amazing guy who puts a big smile on my face with your antics

That was awesome. You find the best stuff. Great video

My life just changed. I went from scrapping in Florida, to living on top of a mountain in N.C. ,and am now mating baskets, bowls, cups and backpacks out of tree bark.

Oh my goodness Mike what an absolutely AMAZING haul!! I would love to micro scrap that medical equipment, that would be fab!!! Terrible they threw out that whole box of crutches....glad you'll rehome them! Fantastic video!!

Lol this makes me remember that I used to do that stuff, fun times and what made it so bad was, I was a trash company guy, and I always found stuff, especially in and around dumpsters, I'm too old to be jumping in them open top containers like I used to,

I love how you start your videos. Hit the ground running. Right to the action

We definitely want a follow up on this load.

Would love to see a break down of the space ship parts! X

Thanks Mike always fun and interesting .👍👍👍💯

Love watching your video's Mike!! Watching you is JUST FUN....PERIOD!! You DO Trash Picking So~~So Well too!!

So Awesome of you to post all this content while on the mend! Thanks Mike!

Thanks for taking us along

Is anyone else sorry to see the end of one of his videos? Every time.

WoW! That was fun! Hope you are healing up nicely and know we are sending you positive healing energies while you recover!

I occasionally watch other scrapper videos and none of them can even hold my attention for very long. They either try (and fail) to be like you or they are boring. No one is as good as you!!

Get well soon Mike!

It's always food to see you scrapping.

Nice finds there....Keep the good work my friend... Greetings from Greece 😁

Always a good day when Mike drops a video.

A lot of those breakers have tiny silver round contact disc besides copper in them..

i love these videos...Mike you are a prime example of how a positive mental attitude is contagious

Hey Mike! Thank you for another great video! So appreciate you planning ahead like you did. Heal up smooth and fast!!

Hey Mike,I love you..and Iam so happy to see you park right next to the dumpster today! Good job

Always Fun...Always Entertaining. 👍😎👍😎👍

Holy cow Batman what an awesome scrap day. I love it when you find a lot of scrap. I find it really interesting when you find unusual stuff. Have a great week Mike.

Thanks for bringing us along on another scrapping adventure,always a pleasure

Thank You Mike for making me laugh every day. Couldnt need anything more than to laugh every day. From my heart THANK YOU!!

Dumpster diving content is more addicting than my disposable

Thanks for keeping it clean me and my 2 year old love watching you dive for treasure.

Stay safe Mike, I hope you are feeling better X

Lots of good scrap this session keep up the great work six stars brother

Hi Mike, hope your healing well and doing good. Take it easy friend. ❤️

Im glad Mike is alive and kicking

Get it all bro Get it All Watch your head!!!!!

Hope all is well Mike .You should do a live video when you get back on your feet , Take care

Glad you had a successful night! I bet that one dumpster that had the extruded alum and the wires was a solar panel company since they had the caulk too to seal the holes in the roof too!

Sweet haul Mike

Awesome video as usual. Enjoyed it immensely! Mike have a good day, see you when we see you.😎👊🏻

Great show Mike hope you feel better soon

🔱Keep up the fantastic work man, I love this stuff. Mike Keep up the good work!🔥🔱

Great finds tonight Mike.

GREAT night Mike!

Let's get it all

Omg yes!!!!!!! RF dummy loads and cellphone amps💓💓

In the early 90s my father used to go urban mining, he would bring home amazing things, toys, tools and clothing, lots and lots of clothes and shoes, we didn't know anybody that didn't have new clothes or shoes, he was very generous with what he found, now it's illegal to do it and everyone has a compactor it seems. As an adult now my favorite thing in the world is the dump, I figure at least a quarter of the things I own came from the dump, my lawn mower which was brand-new needed a wheel, my 5500 watt gen that needed the pull start fixed came a full tank of gas too, the 6x6 treated timbers that are now part of my work shop, the list goes on almost forever, in the summer I go twice a week, the dump provides!

Sounds like a good idea for a channel, people would watch it I think. Two trips a week would probably be enough for one video a week with all the stuff that's thrown away.

Crunch a Luncheon~~~New Word in the English Dictonary~! I had Surgery last Friday and I took a Oxycodone about 15 minutes ago and it's KICKING IN!! My Back Surgery was difficult and I'm HURTING right now, but you make it feel better with your humor Mike...Thanks!

Great video. I hope you are resting and healing. I love MTS Videos...

Do you ever imagine someone walking up to the dumpster to talk to mike about not being in the dumpster? Guy: I'm going to tell that guy to leave. Mike: It's a snake, I'm a snake! Guy: Maybe next time.

I love all the spaceship parts! I enjoy dismantling those kinds of things.

Hey Mike! Glad you're feeling better! Man, what a night of scrapping!! Good job!! Best wishes to you and your family!!

How 'ya doin' Mike? Hope things are healing up fast and you can start a new batch of runs real soon. Just don't go leaping and bounding around quite as much so you don't hurt anything again!!

Hope your doing well. Enjoy the videos.

Thanks for recycling the crutches. You keep so much metal out of the landfills you should get a reward.

So glad you're back. Hope all goes well. Great video, keep it up.

Yes sir you Pirate Ninja Scavenger what a great haul and some good stuff, much love Mike we hope you keep getting better🙏🏼💐😎🤟🏼

Hey from N Ireland happy st Patrick’s day

Awesome finds Mike!! You set the standard for us scrappers. You turn hard work into fun, lol 😂

Glad that you are back!

Mike your awesome!! Hey that Andrew cell tower stuff, the connectors all most all that equipment is plated brass. Grind them you will find that they are brass. I used to work for cell tower companies. I scrapped a lot of that. Lots of money. The c-claMps are stainless as well as the light cable hangers. Lots of stainless in cell tower stuff so it doesn’t rust. Keep the videos coming!

What a great haul!

I always pick up the 4 and 5 gallon plastic buckets. Get $2 to $3 apiece at garage sale. One of the first things to go. Love the videos man!

Another awesome haul video. Hope your recovery is going well.
