- 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. Be sure to stay subscribed to stay up to date with my latest expeditions, y'all!
You know it’s cold when the OG scrapper has his long Levis on.
The comfort glide sheets in the medical dumpster are VERY useful for all sorts of things (throw away tarp or drop cloth). Also, you can put them on pet beds when the pooches are ill. We once used one as a sling to carry a big dog in to the vet office. If you see them again, you might grab a little stack. I bet you would find them useful, too.
What is the reason for dumping medical stuff. I mean the sheets and the sharps container do not go bad. I would buy a case of 3M medical tape . I have to use medical tape every day for the rest of my life so to find some at a discount I would be all over it.
3M. Anything 3M is good.That medical tape is good stuff. The sheets too.@@christophertaylor2464
Interesting how you don't get stopped when doing dumpster dives, where suspicions might surely arise, then when you mess with public surface streets, flashing lights magically appear. Glad you respectfully made friends with the folks in blue. That's how the good word about your truck gets into the system.
Yea but as long as no crime was committed they can’t do anything especially take your property
Mike, Thank you for showing LE and telling us what happened. Stop signs are for our safety.😊
😊ha ha "gently used fle cabinets" 😂 i love uour humor!
Needles do have an expiration date. I’m a retired nurse. They can be put in the trash since they are still sealed. Love you, love your content. Been watching since your first video!!! Keep on scrapping!!!
My thoughts exactly! I don’t understand rest of the stuff though. Sadly they might have simply dumped extra or unnecessary inventory which is sad
A big shoutout to Mike mom and dad respect/peace god bless ✋
Has anyone ever called about the noise from the dumpsters? I love it lol 😂😂😂😂😂
Videos like this prove that Mike earns every penny he gets.
Mike! Always the remedy to a crappy day!
Betty’s new walls are great.
The way you got those cabinets out was very stealthy !
LOVE your adventures!
Thanks Officer for taking pity on our Mike lol . Peace from the snowy North .
Thanks for another great video. Terrible to see all the health care stuff in the trash. No wonder the health care is in need of extra funds all around the world😖😖
It's cold here too in Ireland. Our temps have gone down between -4 to -8 the last few days with the addition of show. Stay safe & warm out there when driving. It's not you that has a problem driving, its others that could cause the problems.
Goodnight wishes to all from Ireland 🥰❄️🍀🇮🇪
Man... I can hear those metal cabinets all the way out here in AZ...clang...clang...clang
Great timing beating the ice. Careful out there. That cop was nice to let you go. There's still good ones out there.
Mike my daughter is a nurse and all medical supplies are dated. She takes her outdated supplies to a close by nursing college. They always really appreciate them!
That’s a really good idea!
Nuts what gets dumped! 😢 Needles😮 Cabinets😊 Love Betty's new walls 😊
17 below here in SANFORD, Michigan. We were out of power for three 56 hours no heat in this temperature. Let me tell you we borrowed down to stay warm. Love watching you scrap! Say to wife and fur babies.
Either Paul A. Or Paula, hope you are staying warm! Is your power / heat back on?
YIKES!!
Maybe you could have used a piece from the rack for your metal on the head board so the cab wouldn't get damaged.
Here in Northwestern Tennessee we've got 3 to 4 inches of snow on January 14 and 15, 2024. It's beginning to melt today the 16th.. Mike stay safe and healthy. Thank you for your time to make these videos for your viewers. God Bless you and your wife
Excellence ! Sometimes I think you could have a ceiling fan side business because most of all the fans you collect are perfect . People are just remodeling and don't want them., They are worth a hell of a lot more than scrap. To buy new are not cheap. Always fun to watch you !
It got down to -31 degrees here in Nebraska last night….I saw the forecast for Texas was gonna be below freezing and started saying prayers it wouldn’t turn out like it did a few winters back there in Texas…keeping everyone in my prayers that all stay safe and warm and we all get through this cold weather with no major issues! Take care everyone!
Thank you for the prayers.
I'm in central Texas and when I saw how cold it was going to be up north I started praying for everyone. I think that a lot of people are going to be dealing with Frozen water pipes and broken water pipes.
I pray that everyone can get their water pipes fixed in a timely manner.
GOD BLESS EVERYONE AMEN .
🙋 Mike. Thanks for the New Video. Nice Bike for your Dad. Not so big and bulky. Just the right size. Great HAUL.👍👍👍. Stay Safe out there and God Bless you and your Family. Say hi to your Wife. Thanks. 😇🙏🤗😘
Mike the Transpore tape is great for anything that you would use painters tape. I use it while embroidering quilts. Also the syringes and needles are good for glueing in small spaces. You can put say wood glue in the syringe and squirt it into small cracks then toss the needle in the sharps containers. I would have loved to have the box of tape. Retired OR nurse here. You learn to use items in all kinds of ways.
I would buy a case of the 3M medical tape at a discount. I have to use medical tape every day for the rest of my life. I would love to be able to buy a case of tape at a discount.
Don't Disturb the White Powder ! Nice Betty Walls - Clever indeed ! Fight with Office Cabinets - Mike's the Winner ! 32 Deg C here in Australia ! Ah - Mr.Police Man ! Full House - well Done - Great Curbside and Dumpster - always a Pleasure ! Cheers from Australia !!!!
Mike the Savage Creature... 😊 man handled them cabinets. LoL
I love the new Color Scheme on the Walls looks great.
Let's do this!! 😏 Always love me some Mr Scavenger!
The philosophy of Mike the Scavenger, no scrap left behind. Have a great day and be safe out there. Much love ❤️❤️
Yes Mike! Loving the extra roof bar to protect the top. 😎👍🏻
0:10🇺🇲Hawaii🤙
I used to see wire and pipe and metal… Now I see snibbets, sticks, and scrap. You are helping save this trash infested country, one load at a time. Late 60’s, my scraping was different. Keep it up!,,
glad the officer was a cool guy , he knows you are a good guy .
I like the episodes where you finish the load at the scrapyard. Job from beginning to end.
I miss the old days in that the scrapyard visits had their own videos. For some reason I always enjoyed the music on them.. very relaxing.. and the little guitar action in the middle of it from Mike. 😊
I know why you’re a happy guy, aggression therapy…you was mad at them cabinets! 🤣
Respect the badge! Absolutely! 👍👮🏻♂️
God bless 🙏🏼🇺🇸🇮🇱
That exercise bike is legit……👍🏻👍🏻
You're a beast, Mike.
11degrees, 10 inches of snow, and more coming. Northern Michigan. Love your comments while scrapping. Makes me laugh.
Mike ! Mike ! Mike ! Thanks for taking us along! It's 18 degrees right now which is way warmer then it was yesterday! I appreciate you! So cool to find the bike for your dad ! Stay safe stay great and keep up the good work!!! Stay weird!!!!
Love the more "earthy" tones of your side rails!
I grew up in central Nebraska and my birthday is in February! Back then,in the 1970's, you could get a , "Learner's Permit" at age 15, which meant you had to have a, "legally licensed'" person over 18 accompany you and seated in the front passenger seat. Driver's Ed wasn't required, but it was strongly suggested. I got my first NE license on my 16th birthday , with , no written test mistakes or any on the road! The drivers back in my day were a lot different than today, "road rage" WAS NOT an issue or even heard of nor were people as hell-bent on pushing others into dangerous situations because they can't control themselves! Be careful driving on icy roads out there Texans ! Thanks, Mike for another great video and time spent here! Peace to all.... 💜🩵💜
Hi Mike ,Hi,Betty.Yes I live in Iowa and its very cold here.We are used to harsh winters.😊❄️❄️❄️❄️❄️☃️🌧☃️
Be safe during your cold weather! It’s -5 here in Michigan!! Snuggle up!!😊☃️❄️
Stay safe and stay warm Mike
Someone has already given up on their New Year resolutions. Out with the exercise equipment. 😂😂
It's 11° here in Beautiful Lake Bridgeport Texas. Just cold, no ice. It's good that cold only effects the scrapper and not the scrap. Lololol, Awesome run today, stay warm Mike.
Thanks for taking me along with you. Stay safe. 👍🙏🏻❤️
Stay safe, Mike. A few years back, when I visited West Texas, there was a freeze, and it was bitterly cold. Iced roads, and my flight got pushed back a couple of days to come back to Massachusetts.
Laughed my head off at M-O-O-N! Awesome.
Mike you might want to check with your vet or animal shelter to see if they could use some of the medical supplies. The syringes are still sterile as long as packaging hasn’t been damaged. Thanks for sharing.
MTS 💪 as always stay safe and just wanted to say thank you for the many years of entertainment and I look forward to another good year.. Thanks MTS...........💪😜
Your vet would love some of that stuff.
I'm retired and would love to tag along a couple of days a week with this guy. Just for the thrill of the find. Nice job, Mike! We need more of you.
Love your videos bro. It’s 4 with a real feel of -14. Stay warm y’all. And happy hunting.
It's a good thing you added the THIRD RAIL!!!
👏🏻🤣👏🏻🤣👏🏻🤣👏🏻🤣👏🏻🤣👏🏻🤣👏🏻🤣👏🏻🤣👏🏻🤣
5:30 preppers would love that medical stuff for when the SHTF. It's expired but still good
Mike, it was smart to make Betty's walls higher and also to protect the roof of the truck.
Oh wow lots of good stuff. Its 8 degrees tonight here in Arkansas with snow..last week it wasx54 degrees and sunny so crazy. You take care .thanks mike😊😊😊
Sharps collectors are good to donate to homeless shelters where they are really needed for diabetics staying there. Needles and medical can be donated to the shelters. You can add cut rubber hoses on top of the wood walls to save them too and help lower the noise when driving.
I used to listen to the local police radio and they occasionally got calls about suspicious vehicles. They referred to people doing what you do as "Curbside Entrepreneurs".
Fuck the police
Love the content great job as usual
Stay warm Mike, thank you for another great video ❤
Hey Mike so much for being quiet 😂
Quiet is not his forte!!
Last week here in Iowa it was -19 degrees over night and like -1 degrees for the high during the day. On top of the cold weather we had like 20 inches of snow come through. The we had blowing snow that shout down most of the state for a couple of days. The wife and myself where stuck in the house for three days. Lucky we had lots of food. Love the videos keep them coming.
Stay warm Mike , Nice score on the bike for you Dad ,
You really went to town on them there filing cabints😊
There are some nice officers out there. And this was one of them for sure. 👍⭐️
Hey Mike, got a snow storm last night and lots of that white stuff ( I from NE Ohio). For you all too get that is just insane. Stay safe ❤
Glad you didn't get stuck with those needles. Betty White looks full.❤❤❤ Love your videos, from NC. Cold here😂
Stay safe!! Ice is nothing to mess with! Nice load.
Great video mike, love the new walls they look great!!!
"Moon that spells" - Mike The Scavenger.... The man in black is coming for you Mike!
Hey Mike! How are you and your family ❤. Thanks for sharing ❤❤
When you find a treasure trove I'm excited for you.
From beginning to now. I have learned so much.....thank you
7:13 Betty’s walls look fantastic!
18 degrees in Cincinnati... safe travels Mike... breakin the law... breakin the law... take what you... can give nothing back...
Mike Thank You, It's great to see the Scrap Badger in Action 😊.
Great job Mike! Stay safe and warm!
That big pressure gauge might be a good thing to make into a clock for a mancave/garage.
nice referance to The Stand 😁😁
"It'll buff out" 😂😂
Appreciate the journey and all of the goodies that go with it. Thx MTS.
You do know the scrap yard will dismantle and demolish those filing cabinets for you....for free!😂
Mike, I was a cop for 15 years before retiring to become a commercial pilot. I would stop scrapper trucks as often as I could for any legal reason to try and make contact with the driver. It would log the driver and that vehicle in that location at that time. Unfortunately, a lot of scrappers are not like you and can be kind of shady. There are scrappers out there that will enter buildings that they have no business in being in and take scrap that they are not entitled to.That dashcam will be kept to see if any of your stuff ends up being reported stolen. The agencies I have worked for have solved burglaries doing this exact method. I think the stop sign was the minor offense as this cop was probably looking at the bigger picture. Being that this was the day shift, the cop probably was fairly experienced and generally overlooks minor traffic violations unless there might be something bigger that peaks their interest. This is nothing to be upset about, it's just good police work.
Remove qualified immunity today.
As my great great great grandpa would say, "Don't ever talk to the badge, ever."
He can’t take your damn camera first off if no crime was committed he can’t do shit

Hey Mike here in St. Charles IL we had some sub zero temperatures. And some schools were closed because of the cold. The schools didn’t want their students to freeze standing outside waiting for the bus. 🚌 I don’t blame them I wouldn’t want my kids outside in this weather. Keep the kids safe inside. And you keep safe as well.
Yup elearning for my daughter too in district 308!
Thanks, Mike for another great one! It was a chilly -19 in Denver last night. Temps dropped 9 degrees in 5 minutes. It's nuts!
I try to make the least amount of noise as possible when I dumpster dive, lol
Thanks for another great video bud
We got a couple of days of winter down here in SETX.😮
Hey there Mike, Betty got another full tummy. ❤. You please be careful while driving, ice is Nothing to take lightly. I’m on the Northern border of Lake Ontario and right now we’re in a deep freeze. We’re used to this stuff but we still drive carefully. Take Care Peace and Love You ♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️🇬🇧🇨🇦
Good haul Mike!! Its 8 degrees right now in Indiana. It's a heat wave considering the past 2 days!!😂 Stay safe and warm!!❤
Cold here in Chicago zero and below. 🥶27 ° sounds like a heat wave
You sure do your part of keeping stuff out of the landfills. Every haul is different, but still things get tossed out for some unknown reason.
Mike you da man you get a workout with those filing cabinets!
I wonder what the guy who threw all those file cabinets would say if he came out of the building just to see it all flying out of the dumpster and laying on the ground. LOL
Awesome video thanks for sharing Mike stay warm and be safe
Office cabinets are great in the garage for storing large power tools and other large items.
Greetings Mike. The truck looks awesome. It was 3 degrees ìn Cleveland Ohio last night. Be healthy, blessed and safe with the inclement weather. God bless your family always
Love the Tom Cullen reference!
