- 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, look if the belt sander motor has an run capacitor. Should be replaced. humming noise means, the motor coils are OK, but with a dead cap there is no rotation.
Even a lose wire can be the culprit.
Always makes my day to see a new segment…. Kudos to ya Mike.
Mike's the best scrapper on CZcams right now today thanks for the great videos Mike
Thank you for helping keep the planet just a little bit cleaner and helping the wildlife keep their natural habitats god bless you
Your wife is one lucky woman. You sound like a blast to be around. Your exaggerated laugh is priceless
Another Tetris kind of day! 👍🏻
All you need is a ratchet straps. The struts will be safe to take apart.
There’s a big difference between “curb side”mike and “night scavenger” mike. Night scavenger mike just flings it in the truck and goes, curb side mike keeps it organized.
Notice he waits to rip apart the ceiling fan until he's away.
That's smart. People often put stuff out that they fantasize some other person can use and are distressed to see what they've put out ripped apart.

You are the best scavenger on CZcams!
I agree
Me three
Mike I super appreciate you acknowledging my comment. For some reason it meant a lot to me. I look at you as somewhat of a movie star. I’ve always been a dumpster diver and scrounged in what people throw away when I was a kid back in 56 and 55 and on up me and my dad would go up to the garbage dump. I would pick up everything I wanted and put it in a pile and my dad would come over and tell me oh you don’t need that to various different things. Sometimes it kind of pissed me off but he was the boss
Use a right angle grinder to cut the coil spring about in the middle while it's together that will release the pressure of the spring then just take the top nut off if you have a yard that scrapping cars they'll take those struts in one piece
Good to know. Just found one last night, and my yard does take full cars. Thanks
Greetings Mike. This was another great adventure. All those ceiling lights, are trying to tell you too keep walking in the light.💡 Stay hydrated, humble and kind always. PLEASE be CAREFUL. Be safe,healthy &blessed always family
I was listening to you about the struts, yes that could ruin someone's day. The convo would be like, I came to work feeling great, the next thing I knew I was laid out by a spring flying through the air! Tfs
What about making a video of you favorite/best finds, whether it's things you kept or let go? Either way I love watching you work 😁
*A few times I've come across non-working equipment and a wire push on connector popped off from the switch. I had the same exact thing happened with a almost brand new huge wet vac I found, and when I pulled the switch out to check continuity on it, a wire was disconnected, I'm still using it 5 years later.* *Anything that's been dropped/possibly dropped and doesn't work, that would definitely be a good thing to check, as well as see if it has a inline fuse that may be blown before ruling the motor is bad.*
Yeah with the motor not even humming im thinking they dropped it and a wire popped loose and it gets power to the switch but not the motor.. could be a super easy fix
Mike the Scavenger, King of Scrap Tetris!! Great day of curb side!!
Never a Dual Moment 🙂❤️ FROM EL PASO STRONG ♥️ TEXAS
A wire tie through the fridge handles and they stay closed. Good job Mike.
Love that fold up wall shelf! Very shabby chic
Enjoyed the video Mike. Your leg is healed up now? You're getting around good. Ya'll could clean that decorative metal foldable stand then spray it a nice color, even black or white. It would sell then.
Y
Mr. Mike, you the man. Make me laugh each day.
Mike you are just turning into a real “ Neat Freak” love it!!!!
Sweet, those hanging buckets work/look great! 😎
Mike said, lights are my jam, they illuminate. Lmao!
WORKS GREAT
JUST DIRTY
Sounds like something to put on a t-shirt.
i just love you everything ends up so compactly piled together
"Sounded like somebody givin' birth"
Sounded like a Tarzan yell to me. 😁
Mike you broke your own rule! You never looked inside the big fridge/freezer!
Whhhaaat??
He might of looked inside when he stopped to stand it up right. He didn't want to do it in front of the owners. Like he said no one helps him he does this all by himself. He has to be strong in order to do this almost everyday by himself. I would hate to get sucker punched by him you know it will hurt he might even break a bone or two.
Mike drives a FORD - Frequently Out Raiding Dumpsters. Entertaining content!
You make my depression better Mike. Thank you for all that you do. ❤ love you from central Illinois 😊
I like it when they look at me all crazy most the time they leave me alone
Love watching you on CZcams THANK YOU😊😊
Yo yo yo whats up scavenger? ✌🦊
Gold star for organization today Mike.
Thanks for making these videos your vibe is what we all need right now keep up awesome work
You got a lot more scrappy from your curb side scavenging then the dumpster scavenging! Nice finds!!
Watching all the old good videos while you are out getting better! Take care!
One mo run Mike 👍👍👍👍👍
Mike the scavenger, America a lot of disposable things that easy to throw away when is not usable. Shoutout Mike
"All kinds of crazy"🤣🤣🤣
Dude - you need signs on the side of your truck - Mike the Scavenger - It would be cool.
I’ve thought the same, but I think he likes to be incognito.
This is not the S&PM channel!
That leafblower. I think was the find of the day
Seems like you filled Dottie up faster CurbSidin' than the last few dumpster dives. Good hunt bro!
*Just imagine what you could get in your truck if you used a cordless reciprocating saw to cut shelves, long poles and other things like them so they'll lay flat, I say this from watching almost all of your videos and still continuing, keep them coming, you really make my day with your upbeat attitude.*
I often thought about that myself. I think you would need something that made less noise tho. Maybe a laser cutter someday 😄
Those aluminum chairs are worth a good bit after clean up but take up so much space.
Good Tuesday morning to you all in the USA from Wellington Somerset in the UK
Love a bit of curbside recycling.......
Good thing about filling up dotty, you can go straight to the scrap place if you want.....
turn that fridge up so you pile it full of all the small stuff!
What a haul today!!
this is what I like curb surfing
Thankyou for another great video keep on doing the great job of having fun you bring smiles and laughter to many
This curb side was 90% scrap. Little resaleables. Sometimes scrap pays better then yard sale. I like it.
"dirty micro wave check ya later" Mike your too funny bro
You better feed the Mrs. Thanks for taking us along stay safe stay blessed, take care of that leg.

You took Tarzan's ceiling fan...
Your Scrap Tetris is on point!!!
Hi mike, my yard wont take the shocks because most of them are oil filled. Drill a hole in the shock, drain the oil and they are good to go. As for the macferson struts, the spring has to come off before they take em. Stay safe.🏴
I almost spit my drink out when Mike says “puto” at 12:00 🤣🤣
Shout out Mike I'm always watching your videos from Philippines.."mabuhay ka take care always
Harbor freight has a cheap strut tool. Hahah I write this as you say it yourself 🤣🤣🤦♂️
You know what they call light fixtures now? Luminaires.
Wow your organizational skills have greatly improved good job on packing Dottie to the max. Glad to see that your fostering some dogs that's really cool!
You're my favorite kind of "All kinds of crazy!"
Mike, the springs have the pressure on those struts. Simple tool to disassemble.
I came across your video and I love it a friend of mine turned me onto Dumpster diving in Cape Girardeau Missouri love watching you
Mike Your Crazy, In A Good Way🤗
Great work Mike as always. Stay safe and healthy 🙏❤🙏
Mike I always enjoy your videos. Thank you. Keep putting them out please
Great day for you Mike. 1:41 ❤🎉
Hi mike from the yooouuuukkayyyyyy scrappers .love it keep em coming scrapping good at the moment so make hay while the sun shines see ya!
Lucrative day Mike!
@Mike The Scavenger Tetris level = Master.
Wonder if that guy knew he was talking to the famous scrap King 👑, you got some stuff today🥰😎🧐
Enjoy all your adventures, be safe N live your sense of humor 😷😂🤗👍
There is no substitute for Mike The Scavenger!!!
i find it is very interesting to watch MIKE's videos ..who agrees wiyh me ?
Another great video Mike, love you bro. I always feel like I'm hanging out with one of my friends.
You should put the buckets on the same side, then they will only take up room on one side, not decrease the width of the truck by double.
When you got the second microwave, it was fun watching you play a quick game of Dottie's Tetris.⬆️➡️⬇️🆓
Muito obrigada! Mike por fazer é maravilhoso trabalho digno reciclar .
HI Mike great curbside video great scores thank you we enjoy all of your videos Especially when you find old and very vintage treasures on the curbs in neighborhoods. Dottie filled up very very fast you are very very well organized bro .
Good job.
Great score love your videos thanks 💘😊
Here is a little tip for you even though you might already know it some might not. If you see someone getting rid of a trampoline take the part that you jump on and use it for a scrap cover to help hold stuff in your truck. The air will blow through it instead of catching it like a trap does. Let me know if it works for you.
MIKE YOU PASSED UP A GOOD RACEING SEAT
Hey that's me 😁
Mike, those springs on the struts are under extremely dangerous pressure. The cheap spring compressors are dangerous to use. For your safety I'd say the juice aint worth the squeeze on springs on struts.
Stay safe and keep up the good work.
You sir are one tough dude!
Yesterday it happened, got a feeling, that container I will check... 60 LB of brass and 20LB of copper and and a lot of heavy large pieces of cast iron like 440 LB : D: O
Awesome!
What did it all consist of?
Sounds like plumbing.
Howdy
I'm so freaking addicted.
Just incredible!
My Momma always called me the queen of push shove and cram 😂 maybe I should've done this before my health got stupid 😅❤
Mike scored today. Mike is strong, strong-smelling that is.
TP for the Bung Hole !
No yard sales?
No storage unit?
Congrats on being foster daddy, bet you n the wife will keep them! I hope for their sake
Great scrap Mike.
Its Mike da Scavenger yall. Scrappity scrap scrap
