- 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.

Mike - Amazed that you never break a florescent light bulb tube ? Now that's the dumpster diving touch !
SHE BLINDED ME WITH SCIENCE 🎵 🎶
Hey - more Rusty Tools - ha ! Great Score on those Lights - well done - Great Evening Dumpster Diving ! Many Cheers from us in Australia !!!!
You need to put out your own Energy Drink...."Dumpster Juice"....! You could name your flavors after the different thinks you find! "Aluminum Apple Cider"... Ceiling Fan Cherry Fizz"...." Microwave Mango"....etc! ( now if it's successful...just send "ole Lar" A case or two!!! 😂😂😂😂😂😂 "Dumpster Juice" Rules!!!! 🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘
That is an awesome idea. Totally hilarious 😆
Magnetic Mellon,
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
You can have a 'Chocolate butt plug' flavor after a all the butt plugs you've found

I'm glad you are using a magnet saves your fingers
That red leather chair is a chesterfield or a fake one but they are worth hundreds of pounds in England , considered a posh chair as in olden times used in gentleman smoking clubs for the rich toffs
I like that you are not afraid to jump in. have a nice day.
Guuuuuaaauuu time laps super mister Mike fabuloso gracias por compartir me encanta ver su trabajo .esperando la proxima!!!!!!!!!
Hard drives have killer magnets in them,, :-)
The cows are blessed when
Mikey says Holy Cow! 🤣👍🏼
that chairin theopen top looks similar to the chair in the Matrix
the sound effects are a nice touch
who knew that Herman Miller would be a three biller??? NICE SCORE MIKE
It's actually more expensive than that, perhaps upwards of a thousand considering it has a fiberglass shell which means it's vintage.
Amaziinngg
I found 2 50 gallon water heaters today and it was a chore for this 67 year old man , but going on 20 old ass to get them in my vehicle. Never give up , never give up , never give up. That is advise from a friend that lives in Alaska that I have been friends with for 54 years. I also have 3 other friends that I have been friends with for that long also.
You are too funny. Love you!!
😂🤣🤣 so enjoy the sound effects when you toss scrap in the truck and when you break fan blades off...
Thanks for the energy you put into your scraping videos!
Awsome montage Mr. Chatarrero!
Great video I am a huge fan
The big aluminium rail ones are the A0 plotters
So when do we get to see you put your spaceship together lol... Cheers Mike
Good job.
Nice find Mike 👍 scrappy scrappy y'all ❤️👍
Look at that!!!! Thanks Mike!
Old bar for old men The Rusty Tool.
Yes Mike had a little look up on the Herman Miller chair, in sterling, pounds it was up for £425. Great score mate good luck.
I can't find one for less than $1100 here in the states. Vintage ones go for much much more as well.

My husband micro scraps everything even vacuum cleaners.
dude, you could extract the gold from all the PCBs in those electronics, doesn't take much either just a small chemical dip and you got gold. there was at least 400 dollars right there in all those Honeywell PCBs
Excellent video thank you for sharing five stars

Night scrapping with speed metal! Go Mike Go!
It's cool to watch you succeed and being entertained is the icing on the cake!
You bring joy watching you, stay safe and thank you 🙏🥰❤️
Missed out on probably $1.80+/lb for the boards inside the cdmax boxes. Only a couple screws to open it up. Ewaste is the way to go for big$
Was wondering the same. They are probably still there, Mike, go grab them!
I collect them to be sold to someone who has the chemicals to refine the gold from the boards.
Hey Mike! I am a huge fan of yours keep up the good work How are you doing today?, Your the best
Doin' Alright! Thanks for stopping in!
#WatchYoHead #GottaBeStrong #MTSScavengerKing Great dive! No water heaters? How's Mercy & Patty? Give them love for me!
Ok. 🤝. ❤️🙏🏻❤️🙏🏻❤️🙏🏻❤️🙏🏻❤️🙏🏻❤️🙏🏻❤️🙏🏻
I just love watching these videos with all the commentary. I leave the house about once a month because I have COPD. If I ever wanted to do that, I would get me a pool ladder, haha. That way I could climb up one side and down the other. In my town, dumpster diving is almost prohibited. Everyone has their dumpsters in enclosures and those that don't, like behind stores and malls put up "no dumpster diving" signs. I was very lucky years ago. I was walking through a mall and the JC Penney store was closing. They had wood shelving they were dumping. I'm talking about 3 feet wide by 2 feet deep with a metal bar at each end to fit in a shelf frame. They used metal pins to adjust the height. I called my uncle and he came by really fast. We loaded up 40 of those shelves and 2 dozen frames and I bought rope at a dollar store. I took them home and put them all down one side of my basement and the leftovers in the garage. I used mr. clean and that wood shined like new. Each board was heavy and my neighbor said they were oak. He wanted one so I gave him one. He sanded that board down and took off the metal. He made a base and had a small mini kitchen table that he still uses to this day. He told me if I ever got rid of those shelves he'd buy them to make furniture.
I watch Taco Stacks collecting metal and stuff at curbs. That got me to buy a used truck and I go and pick up old dressers for free. I bring them home in the garage and give them a scrub. I can repair anything and polish or repaint. I give them away to people in need so they have a nice used dresser and I have a hobby. Last year, I gave away 20 dressers and this year I hope to do more.
Why throw away stuff in a landfill when others can get use out of it or make extra money scrapping? Mike the Scavenger is really inspiring to watch, showing hard work pays off, literally.
You're so funny!!! Speaking of funny I met my husband at a bar called the Rusty Nail. It's still open here in Michigan too! 😄🤣😂
SPEAKING OF CHAIRS, IF THAT ONE IF LEATHER OR NOT IT'S CALLED A "GERMAN HIGH BACK" RUNS AROUND 700 US.. MAN, THAT GUY THAT GOT THE HERMAN MILLER IS A HAPPY DUDE!
Got stuff in the truck is always a good day see you on the next one can't wait
I don't know what you get for HDD's, but most of the body is cast Aluminium!
I like when u fast forward so we get to watch the whole video. Keep up the great work Mike
Mlke is a beast, prove me wrong.
The extra cameras made all the difference Mike!
Keep after it Mike you rock Brother!!!
A plotter?! Blast from my past! Does anyone still use them? Nice score on the Herman Miller.
Always FUN to watch you and THIS FAST FORWARD Edition was FUN!! Keep it up and THANK YOU for the entertaining time too!
Glad you liked it!
That's Mike's regular speed
@@MikeTheScavenger the speed metal background music was a nice touch
Yes scraping more dollars 💸
Great video Mike , enjoy ur channel.
I know you go around scrapping but those printers if you take them and you can take them apart and get all the metal one stuff out of them and if your scrap yard don't take them you can take them apart and get all the metal alum now aluminum out of them that's what I would do
nice haul
the light contacted is spaceship stuff 😀 😃
I used to watch when your video two years ago, I all of a sudden I thought about you so, here I am back and subscribed again.
The one dumpster they threw out the dart board and ping pong set, and got a ps4. LOL YOUNGER generation moved into the shop. LOL
Good run tonight. A bit of aluminum for sure! Thanks for taking us along sand as always, be safe out there!
First Just wanna tell you Mike I look forward to every single new episode that you have it’s like I’m traveling with you you make me tired all that extra work you do I don’t know how you do it but you get it done ✅ Love all the comical things that you do especially playing the musical instruments when you clean your truck out I know you so well it’s like I’m right there with you I’ll say something and you answer me back or I’ll start singing a song or saying a phrase that you say exactly the same like the same wave length I’m gonna follow you forever or as long as you keep putting videos up it’s going to be a privilege to watch you hit that Million subscriber marker you’re on your way and I know you’ll make it 100%
Anyway the resmed stuff you often find is good sellable on Ebay , the hoses and resperatory maskes when sealed are much wanted , I use an cpap machine myself but it is an löwenstein
Rainman.... All extruded all extruded.. oh wait put the sides up
Making it happen in hot weather man it's hot 🔥 about every where
11.14 It's the dumpster g-spot 😀
be safe Thanks for sharing 🎥🙋🏻♂️
Hi Mike How you doing bro You are hard working man Go to bless you and your family You have beautiful day
Hi Mike, I work for a trucking company here in Grand Rapids Michigan and we haul a lot of Herman Miller office furniture all over the country. It is all 🇺🇲American made in Holland Michigan in western Michigan. We go to New York city to California, Washington, Texas, Florida and everywhere in between.
Oh, you had to go on and say that. Now the IRS will be coming for you, Cousin Mikey 😠. Well not bad sale for the chair. Now go back and get that leather one!
Again, Scrap and Pallet Man is looking out for you. Give thanks to the One!
Loved the leather one, that was money
Fantastic job Mike!!! Never disappoint !!!
Old stuff Mike, but good for scrap value , anyway these days we use solid state disks in our computers , litterly flash memory in big size
Thanks for the video bro
Those CDMA-X items are over $50 each, Mike - Should bring at least a Twenty fast
Even at Five you had like $200 or more
That’s awesome about the chair. A little extra cash for you and the wife. 😁 Awesome channel, Love it!!!
