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. 😊

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!

I worked for ten years for B.F.I. now Republic Waste, I thought I was a grade a Garboligist and Dumpster Diver but you wear the Dumpster Crown!

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!

Hey Mike! Love our videos! I see you did not take that office chair. I grab them. However I take the metal bracket off under the seat As well as the round shaft that connects the bottom. The bolts are usually T-30 or phillips. Simple to get shaft off by popping off the clip. Then cpl hits with a mallet or good hammer to knock out the shaft. Takes a mins or so once you get used to doing it.
