- 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.

The most entertaining person on YT! It's not the diving. It's the personality.
Yes he is!!! He is the type of person you would like to be friends with!!
I agree
There is a magnet fisherman called The Fisher who has a similar vibe..very upbeat & goofy with lots of energy. They would make a hilarious duo.
He is very charismatic, and funny.
The rope you found in the chain dumpster is a dynamic pull strap depending on the length that’s worth over $1000 go back and get it
Thank you for recycling, clearly the neighbors don't mind! ❤
Mike, i choose you over anyone on youtube! My #1 favorite youtube channel!
I will second that!!!
Thank you much! I really needed that. Been questioning/doubting myself lately.
@@MikeTheScavengerNever doubt yourself. You have one of the most enjoyable channels to watch.
@@MikeTheScavenger nah cmon, for real? Bro, Im watching you all the way from Argentina, think about that, and I watch every single one of your videos. Keep on doing what you do my man!!!
@@MikeTheScavenger well, we are here to tell you that we love you, your videos, your enthusiasm and all that you do! So, stop doubting yourself!
The green dolly is used to store/empty out 55 gallon drums of whatever type liquids.
Yay! Mike is here today!
Woo Hoo 🤩another great curbside scavenge and dive😘
Keeping America beautiful, one dumpster at a time!
A broken spring on the curb marks clearly the start of springbreak...
Now THAT...was hilarious!!!
Clever isn't he
Ha! I see what you did there!😂
Haha!
You rock dude 😎
Combo ride along are the best...thank you..❤😊
This is the most eclectic collection of recyclables you have collected. ♻️♻️♻️♻️♻️♻️♻️♻️♻️♻️♻️
That’s right, MTS is Awesome. We love you!
You wouldn't think this would interest you but once you start you can't stop!!
I believe that rope you found is parachute rip cord. That's worth a lot of money and it's good stuff. You can use it as is or you can leave it together and make it ten times as strong as it is.
Holy crap on the mower!
The battery alone is almost worth the complete mower setup
Believe me, I had to buy a replacement battery
Spending another enjoyable day with Mike the scavenger look forward to your next 1
Mike Mike Mike!!! Thanks for taking us along!!! I appreciate you so much!!! Stay safe stay great and keep up the good work and stay weird!!!!!
I bet that old vacuum still works. My grandma had the same JC Penney vacuum for my whole life up to 25. I have had a dozen or two in the next 25.
Great time watching you find all sorts of spaceship stuff. Be careful on the lifting. God bless
Keep that chain!!! That stuff goes for way more than metal weight
Lovely Peacock - wow ! Good Street Scrap - love that Electric Lawn Mower and it Works ! Huge Horse Mat for Your Garage/Workshop - what a Brilliant Find ! Cheers from Australia !!!!
Hey Mike. Great job. Please take care and stay safe. 👍👍👍❤️❤️❤️😎😎😎
Glad your doing better.... Love all your video's! Keep up the awesome work , we all love ya !!!!
Great haul! Thanks for joining me on lunch break. Cheers from Wisconsin.
That big ole piece of rubber looks like one of the diaphragms we used, to make flat belts at a Goodyear belt factory!
Great to see a Mikey video. I’m a ham radio operator have been for 20 plus years
The green dolly allows you to take a barrel from the standing position and using the dolly as a cart, place the barrel in a horizontal position allowing the tapping/ draining. I like the big blue totes. I hope the mower is good for you.
I have never had so much fun watching someone do what you're doing on TH-cam, you are truly entertaining. 🤣😂😅🥰
You have the best route. Always a good time with Mike. Thanks for taking us along.
One man’s trash is another man’s treasure!
Another good haul. Missing the "screams" for the ceiling fan blades!
Me as well like the sound effects
You should have seen the recent one when it sounded like a massacre...
Hey Mike, take a look at the sweeper. If it is a rainbow sweeper you can part it out and get a good money for it.
5:01 my brother had peacocks in his neighborhood in San Antonio. Beautiful.
Hi Mike that cb does 10M,11M & 12M.
They have a good resale value. That large fan might work well. Enjoy.
I found a working great UNIDEN C.B. Radio Receiver only,one time in the 1990's and I used to listen to crazy funny conversations and police conversations and man what a BLAST!!
Hi Mike
You can make a nice table with that chain 🙂.

Keep doing what you do brother, I'm a scrapper from upstate New york and I'm subscribed to a lot of scrap video creators and the vids I look forward to the most are yours. There is nobody ive found on here that has the energy, drive, and comedy that you do. Now when I watch your vids I hit that like button before the video barely starts because you've never made a video I didn't like
Hey. Upstate eh. Moved away from Delaware Co. in 79. Miss the Cat's but don't miss the taxes! Hope you are doing well. MN now.
The bed parts you found by the side of the road were from a sleep number bed. Even used single pieces can have nice resale value. The pump, remote, power cord, the plastic frame, etc. Even used sheets, a new set can cost hundreds. Looks like that was a black base P5 model, not the top line but still could cost several thousand $ new
Hey Mike! I live in a 55+ community, I'm a picker from way back! Great scrapping! But beware of valuable antiques in the gise of scrap! WTF A PEACOCK😮😂 Stay safe and healthy ❤
I was thinking that as well. That brass chandelier might be worth a lot.
HAPPY DIVEING WAY GOOOO BROTHER !!
Thanks for the adventure! Still not sure how I ended up in this part of youtube, but happy I did!
Good to see you back I know the rain kind of slowed you down
Peacocks are famous for roaming. They can go for miles!
Some awesome finds today! That May is going to be a game changer for sure. Sure does beat standing on concrete while working in the garage. Thanks for taking us along and stay safe out there!
Nieghbor about half a mile away had 2 peacocks many years ago. I could hear then very easily. you are the wirest finding dude I have ever seen.
That white rope material looks like some good hammock making material to me :)
I put some galvanized fencing material on the curb for my in-laws yesterday before bulk pick up in our town, hoping a scavenger would come by. It’s already gone. 😊
Now I can officially start my week. Thanks Mike for giving me strength and ambition to move forward today.
The green cart is for barrels.
You got this!
@@MikeTheScavenger keep up the good video
Hey Mike- the green dolly or something looks like it could be an electrical contractors wire cart. Tough to tell from my view but certainly possible
That silky rope stuff would make beautiful throw rugs if you knew a weaver
My favourite episodes are your neighborhood clean ups. Lots of stop and go for you and Dottie-appreciate the effort.
Regarding that silky rope, I knit and crochet and I would have taken that rope and used it to make a blanket or a rug for the bathroom floor, you'd be amazed what can be done with synthetic fibers, if it's within a certain size range.
I can imagine a crafty person crocheting that rope into something as long as its not fiberglass.
That hand truck-looking item is a 55-gallon drum transporter and side storage.
Mike the scavenger ❤
Hi Mike and Laura. Peacocks are beautiful and graceful. I want to wish you all the best for the coming holidays.
Good friday and Easter and Passover holy days.
I wish you and your family a safe and Happy holidays.
Not long ago we used vacuums like that at the casino. Just because its an old style doesn't mean they don't use them still. Old school are still highly used.
I wish I knew how to upload pictures to you but will figure it out.
Sooooo happy to hear that voice again!!! I love, love, LOVE at the end when you yell at the top of your lungs "Well,alrighty scavengers!!!! You're definitely numero UNO !!!🥰🥰🥰
Very good finds, we rarely find such finds in Kazakhstan👍🙂✅️
Waited a long time for this adventure!!!!Thanks Mikey!!!Awsome finds!!!
Glad you enjoyed it
I've been watching your channel from the beginning and I have to agree with everyone else, your channel is #1 always funny and entertaining. I always hit the thumbs up before I even watch the video.
Thanks for the ride Mike
Hey Mike, that soft rope is for macrame. Your wife could make you a hammock for the backyard. Love your channel and videos. Take care and be safe.
The polyester strands could be used for something like that, yes ! a shame they will be on the land fill instead.
That material is very strong...
Thanks to you for cleaning up one neighborhood at a time.
Love the curbside pickin . The White string looks like fiberglass strand but not positive. And the green cart was a drum cart . You do great work with cleaning up your neighborhood and making money doing. Maybe that little Ryobi will be enough for your new yard . Be safe and have fun
Awesome score. I like that barrelcart that could come in handy
My FAV channel!! Take care a you!😊
Great stuff!!
Hi Mike,hugs from Portugal!
Lots of treasures on this run Mike. 🙏👍
Mike good haul!!! Love your videos 🙂👍🙂💕
yeah my favorite scrapper. how about longer videos plzzzzzzzz
❤😂Dude! Your voice lives rent free in my head 🤯🤩
Dude I dumpster dive bc of your videos! I look for stuff to resell mainly though. As soon as I get a truck I'll be scraping too tho.
The peacock alerts people when someone is around it's house. One of the best animals for that,better hearing than about anything.
When I was 18? I worked in a Birds Only Pet Store in Manhattan NYC. Went into the basement to get food - Boss Lady didn’t warn anyone a male & female peacock were rescued from a tiny apartment during the night & Bronx Zoo was coming to pick them up.
Either way, I was the first to get jumped by the Male 😡
I was 🤬
@@laulio7823😭😂😂😂
When I was little, our neighbor 'round the corner had peacocks that were always getting out of the fence. One was in our front yard, and my older brother dared me to chase it away. Well, those things can get aggressive. He turned, spread his feathers, and chased me back to the house! I was like 7.
. Love all your video's! Keep up the awesome work , we all love you
That rope seems to be something a crafter would love. Yard sale stuff!
Awesome I get to watch a new video of Mike the scavenger I love watching your videos keep them coming because with me be on medical leave I have something to watch , be careful out there buddy.
Hey Mark! Get well soon 😊
Very cool stuff in those dumpsters!!
That Connex is an awesome find! easy couple hundred bucks
Great job!
Those Huge Akro bins... give yourself another hernia if you look up what those cost... Yikes.
The lawnmower was a nice score. Pushmowers are always missing the bag... Or the bag is super messed up... that bag looked perfect. Very sellable, if you decide not to keep it...
You should’ve grabbed the green egg grill top. People buy them as replacement parts for theirs. Could’ve got around $100 for it.
Thanks Mike! Thank you for the energy, the positivity and the kindness. Not sure if you feel it, but your helping people. "Gotta keep'em separated" = the guy from The Offspring though of that song while doing medical science stuff and having to keep substances separated in the lab :) You were close with metal and plastic :)
The singer is Dexter Holland and he has a PhD in molecular biology.
Those Sleep Number beds are pretty pricey but lightweight (basically just big balloons wrapped in foam and fabric - but awesome, been sleeping on one for ~15 years. I'm sure some guy loaded that up in his truck and his last words to it were "That's not going anywhere". He needed those big chains you found.
Great scrap day Mike.😊❤
12:08 used parachute rope, can be used for braiding rugs, etc.
Glad to see you mended and out and about, your videos come out just in time for tea time in England, keep up entertaining all your fans, you have such a British sense of humour and give your babies a hug from me
The green thing is a barrel tipper. You put a full barrel of whatever liquid, like oil, on it's side on the frame with the barrel bung hole on the botton facing the curved end. Then when you want to pour out the material, you rock it over on the curved part. Very handy.
The dumpsters were very giving today!!
Mike just want you to know you're the best scrapper on here keep up the good work and say safe
good afternoon ...another fun ride with you lol
Breaker--
Keep the shiny side up, the dirty side down and all good numbers to ya buddy!!!
Cómo estás Mike? Acá entretenida con tu contenido. Te sigo desde La Rioja, Argentina!!
Hello from Great Britain, you the ones back in 82..
@@CreatureOTNight no, that was the military junta that committed genocide on our people and also send our kids to die in the islands. Nothing to do with us argentinians...
That big mat you found, is Exactly what you thought it was, it’s a stall mat for horses. They last pretty much forever. Even with Horses stomping on them. I thought when you saw that shiny rope that it might be parachute lines. ?? But I guess you could use it for pretty much anything. I hope you’re healthy and healed up great now. Love ya 💖💖💖🇨🇦
It was a beautiful day Mike.
I like happy dogs.
WHAT... what a haul man, but you were buzzing Mike and poor little Dottie. Keep doin what you do.
Mike thats a cool mower you found and it works!! Awesome, nice you got some cool scrap buddy!!
That rope you seen was what they use to make bungy jumping ropes. The big green egg top is great for making a pizza oven. Been looking for one myself.
Good show, love them Mike. Nice load, you have an awesome day catch you later.😎👊🏻
WOW, Mike.. you’ll be at 500K subscribers before Summer! Heavens to Murgatroyd, nobody on this platform works any harder for their daily bread 🇺🇸❣️ ….or more positive and hilarious. 💯
I run into your comments in the oddest places. Not much of what I used to watch is still here on YT.
