- 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.

There is something so satisfying when you find all that scrap metal that was going to end up in the landfill, making some money from it, and it being recycled to be reused.
imagine walking by the dumpster and you hear a man yelling, "give it to me! give it to me!"
Finding all those tasty morsels of scraps right away, now that's the way to start off an evening of scraping.

My friend Brad. He save all his copper from dumpster diving. After 20 years of collecting. When #1 copper price rose to $4.50Ibs. he decided to sell to scrap yard. 40ft container full of copper. It ended up being. Just over 8500Ibs. He used the money to buy a new truck. Fully paid. I wish I had the commitment to save copper for that long. As of rite now 02/10/23. copper prices were I live is, $2.95Ibs.
That’s awesome!
Wow your friend had great will power. Happy for him.
That's amazing!
That's awesome! Took some time to accumulate but in the end well worth it!

Super mike
I always wonder what people think when they come out and throw more stuff out and notice everything from yesterday is gone. Go Mike!!
Even GameStop be trashing good
Stuff too.
Half to admit there is good loot in
Them dumpsters tho.
Maybe someone's collection of Playboy's
Are in there.😂
Hustler and penthouse.
Finders keepers.
@@nehemiahpouncey3607 LOL exactly!! I do wanna check out and see what my local games top throws at after discovering Mike
Hi Mike. Great job. I would like you to take care of stay safe as well as all of the subscribers. 👍👍👍❤️❤️❤️😎😎😎
That grill is a keeper. Clean it up and use it!! Great find Mike.
Wow! What a start! That was an amazing haul!! When I first started watching, I assumed you “assaulted” dumpsters to scare any critters that were inside! I learned pretty quick it was just YOU
Figured it was to scare off any trash pandas.
Me, too. I would certainly be trying to scare away the bugs!
Just a crazy guy in a dumpster talking to himself, love it!
This guy is hilarious and shows one can be a professional at whatever they chose. Great vids
That stuff in that first dumpster was fighting back!
Always sad to see your videos ends. Always looking for new or old ones…
a couple of things for the community, 1. banging on the dumpsters makes sure that you don't hop into one that has animals in it. 2. the empty metal buckets make great backyard/patio herb gardens and it makes no difference if they are banged up or not. add a few drain holes in the bottoms, throw in 3 to 5 inches of gravel then top off with dirt and start your plants/seeds. water them in good and keep the soil moist
Looks like a lot,so you can have a followup tomorrow.😘♥️😂👍👍
Love me some Mike the Scavenger!
Mike takes no prisoners. "OOOoooooooo Look at that"
Awesome video, Mike you have a good weekend, see you on the next MTS show. 😎👊🏻
Mike Mike Mike! Thanks for taking us along! I appreciate you! Ninja Chopping and kicking the dumpsters to let em know whose boss! Stay weird! Stay safe stay great and keep up the good work!!!
Right on
That Thermos Fire and Ice cooler grill combo is sweet! definitely a keeper or good for a couple hundred bucks or so in clean working condition! Would love to have one of those again.
I have seen such a thing. The ol' Thermos Fire and Ice. I do love that thing. It's an all in one picnic. It looks like you got all the accessories with it too. The white container is a grease catch that goes on one end and the black things in the cooler are shelves that slide into each side. And the regulator goes on the 1# propane tanks.
I like that thermos cooler it looks like a all in one tail gate party thing very cool find.
GOD HAS TRULY BLESSED HIM ON THIS ONE.
GOD IS GOOD GOD IS GREAT GOD BLESS YOU AND ALL WHO READ THIS AMEN.
I used to have one of those coolers . The grill takes a propane tank one of the small ones and it works like a champ . Great find ....
I thought you assaulted the dumpster like knocking to let the raccoons know you are coming in. Keep up the great videos. Cheers from Wisconsin
Me too! I thought there'd be rats or roaches down there that Mike was testing for. So disappointed there isn't some secret Texas code or something.
That cooler is the best. Never seen anything like that before. I'd be fixing it up to keep for myself. You can find the craziest stuff. Happy scraping
Electric cooler are not cheap but a little fix up on a broken one will do wonders
Rainy days and Mondays always gets me down too
Watch your head!!!
That ringer bucket would get some money, their expensive and that one looked in good shape
This is one of those everyone's happy story! Mike's happy because he gets all the scrap and the place is happy because now their dumpster is somewhat empty and they can put more in without paying to dump it out!
That was a great start to an even greater night. Thanks for taking us along. Love ya 💖💖🇨🇦
So glad!
@@MikeTheScavenger Even if it's a toy gun, it's still better than finding a DOOK inna box. 😂👍

Hi Mike the poles with the blue handles you need to keep same for your hook and it got broken and see if you can clean the BBQ and cooler to see if it works
Almost 500K subs! Go Mike! 🏴☠🏃💨
Always entertaining Mike! Hoping life is sweet and all your loved ones are healthy and Joyous ❤🙏❤👁👁❤

That Ridgid cutter is for cleaning up small miters and is actually a pretty cool tool. Nice find.
Cutting quarter round pieces
Now that is a quality load for sure. Stay safe and God Bless. Oh the quantum thing is the base from an electric wheelchair
You deserve a Congressional medal for your dedication to the cause!
Alright! Alright! Alright! 👊👊👊
My Favorite..Your the Greatest...look forward to every new one.. Christmas 🎄 every day...love that fire and ice portable BBQ
Mr. Meeseeks never disappoints to both educate and entertain.
Ocd Mike is what you are, don't miss no scrap 💪👍💪👍
That first one with all the drink machines was crazy!
It's crazy how people / businesses leave their hard drives in computers and then simply abandonee them. Great video Mike!
The stuff I have found on hard drives all kinds of important stuff.
I take a gander to see what's on them and then I wipe them clean and use them in my own systems for more storage space.
America First ❤️✝️🇺🇸
Mikey, FYI, that Ridge cutter is for cutting sheet metal used in gutter replacement.
I'm out of commission for a while. Had lung cancer surgery a couple weeks ago. At least I can enjoy watching you
Love the videos Mike keep them coming buddy..
It's amazing that you find so much when you go out to scrap
Thanks for the ride...and no, I have never seen such a combo as that.
Omg, I laughed out loud when you were trying to figure out what that light thing was!! 😂 . Thank you for the entertainment! 🥰🥰🥰
You're an Inspiration to us all you are straight forward perseverance and accomplish the task at hand.Clean every dumpster head to toe!
Another fabulous run for you, young Mike. Congratulations.!!!
That "go cart" is- or rather was a Quantum powered wheelchair base and the back of a seat. 4 casters and central 2 wheels were removed along with the seat.
Nice Mike scrappy scrappy scrap 👍😎
this was cool to watch, havent seen your channel in a good while! :)
Welcome back!
Mike, Your channel is so fun to watch! The items you find astound me…the stuff people toss and glad you recycle them. Question? Could you let us know what you do with the “puters”? How do you break them down to recycle? Thanks and keep up the good work and excellent commentary.
He often mentions that “electronics guy” comes for it.
Mike! That grill gotta be the BEST find of the night! Dude, we need a follow up video to see if it works! GREAT for that tailgate!
Dig deeper deeper deeper 💕
It’s honestly crazy how you built not only a healthy hobby but a eco conscious one as well! Thanks for sharing the fun with us! Love your work man ✌️
I'm not so sure you can call jumping into dumpsters healthy but it is a hobby nevertheless and it seems like you enjoys it
If I saw him I would call a police. I don't want anyone rooting through my garbage.
@@henryettacollins9095 Once you throw it out it's not your garbage lmao
Niezły recykling gratów 😃 Fajnie się Ciebie ogląda.
Pozdrawiam
Mike be wigging while he's digging 🤣..
This guy don't quit. He earns his keep for sure.
You got to be agile and have a lot of energy to do this. So glad your recycling stuff. Wonderful!!
That's the most organized and clean dumpster I've ever seen
Not everyone listens to the rules
I love the sound of trains keep up the good work dumpster-diving yay
Mike is always at the right place at the right time for the right things to recycle. ♻️♻️♻️♻️♻️♻️♻️
Lucky to be in such a scavenge-rich area, that barbeque was a hoot, seems like someone would have thought of that sooner, first one I've seen, thumbs up ,for your channel!
Even if it's a toy gun, it's still better than finding a DOOK inna box. Great Friday vid!! 😂👍
Those were some great grates you hauled. Another fun ride with you. Thanks
Great Score Mike

Thanks Mike
Parabéns Mike, parecia que a caçada estava ruim,mas os computadores compensaram.👏👏👏👏

Always great to see a video from Mike on a Friday after a hard week of teaching!!!
Some pretty cool Space Ship "Puters" there in that one dumpster!😂😂😂😂 Maybe, now that you're in your new garage, you can start up putting it together!!
The light fixture/ speaker thing that you were contemplating it’s use had me dying! Great video as always Mike.
Without fail, Mike creates an avalanche IN an avalanche whilst digging for the scrap🤣🤣🤣🤣
Dude cracks me up!!!🤣🤣🤣🤣
Great video mike cheered me up in my dark times,thank you.

"Big fan of suitcases " always gives me a chuckle

Firearms in the dumpster, for real!
