  • 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.

    I could not tell what those bushes were but they may have been able to be saved. Believe it or not bushes, trees, plants go for a high price into the hundreds. Here on long island several years back they were stealing them from homes for a couple of years. If it can be saved toss it into one of your pots and look it up. You can always trash it later if its not a good one but most are winners. Plenty of Facebook pages were you can put up a photo and people would be happy to identify for you.

    Hi Mike, I am a 74 yrs old lady. But I love dumpster diving and storage shed buying. But I don't understand about wires and what's good to save and get ready to sell. I know aluminum is good to keep. Why don't you take the aluminum cans and plastic bottles? Anyway could you explain how that works. I am no competition for your steak as I am in Calif
    Since I can't work this is the only way I have to make some money. Since my dog needs vet care I can't afford only on s.s.

    it's called a threshold plate, and that rainfall showerhead was really expensive when it was new. i've installed a couple of them, and they were over $200 each. the slate chunks are the top of the pool table. i bet the entire table was in that dumpster. prolly couldn't lift it, so they busted it up.
