- 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.
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 😎
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
Holy crap on the mower!
The battery alone is almost worth the complete mower setup
Believe me, I had to buy a replacement battery
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!
Keep that chain!!! That stuff goes for way more than metal weight
Peacocks are famous for roaming. They can go for miles!
The green dolly is used to store/empty out 55 gallon drums of whatever type liquids.
Woo Hoo 🤩another great curbside scavenge and dive😘
Great stuff!!
This is the most eclectic collection of recyclables you have collected. ♻️♻️♻️♻️♻️♻️♻️♻️♻️♻️♻️
Combo ride along are the best...thank you..❤😊
Yay! Mike is here today!
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...
Great to see a Mikey video. I’m a ham radio operator have been for 20 plus years
That white rope material looks like some good hammock making material to me :)
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.
Hey Mike. Great job. Please take care and stay safe. 👍👍👍❤️❤️❤️😎😎😎
Very good finds, we rarely find such finds in Kazakhstan👍🙂✅️
Good to see you back I know the rain kind of slowed you down
HAPPY DIVEING WAY GOOOO BROTHER !!
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.
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.
Hi Mike,hugs from Portugal!
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!!!!!
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!
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.
Spending another enjoyable day with Mike the scavenger look forward to your next 1
Thanks for the adventure! Still not sure how I ended up in this part of youtube, but happy I did!
Hi Mike
You can make a nice table with that chain 🙂.
Charl from South Africa 🇿🇦
Great time watching you find all sorts of spaceship stuff. Be careful on the lifting. God bless
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 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. 😊
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!
My FAV channel!! Take care a you!😊
Waited a long time for this adventure!!!!Thanks Mikey!!!Awsome finds!!!
Glad you enjoyed it
Mike the scavenger ❤
Thank you for recycling, clearly the neighbors don't mind! ❤
Glad your doing better.... Love all your video's! Keep up the awesome work , we all love ya !!!!
I can imagine a crafty person crocheting that rope into something as long as its not fiberglass.
I have never had so much fun watching someone do what you're doing on CZcams, you are truly entertaining. 🤣😂😅🥰
Thanks for the ride Mike
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
Keeping America beautiful, one dumpster at a time!
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.
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...
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...
Mike good haul!!! Love your videos 🙂👍🙂💕
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!!
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.
Hi Mike that cb does 10M,11M & 12M.
They have a good resale value. That large fan might work well. Enjoy.
Lots of treasures on this run Mike. 🙏👍
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 !!!!
My favourite episodes are your neighborhood clean ups. Lots of stop and go for you and Dottie-appreciate the effort.
good afternoon ...another fun ride with you lol
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 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
Awesome score. I like that barrelcart that could come in handy
. Love all your video's! Keep up the awesome work , we all love you
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.
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
Very cool stuff in those dumpsters!!
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 !!!🥰🥰🥰
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.
That silky rope stuff would make beautiful throw rugs if you knew a weaver
Your still the number 1 scrapper Mike!
Some awsome finds Mike
Great scrap day Mike.😊❤
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 🤬

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.
hello, excellently scored scrap metal, well done👍✅️
A lot of cool stuff !!😊😊😊😊
You have the best route. Always a good time with Mike. Thanks for taking us along.
❤😂Dude! Your voice lives rent free in my head 🤯🤩
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
That hand truck-looking item is a 55-gallon drum transporter and side storage.
Good find like that matt and the chain nice haul mikey
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 😊
Thanks to you for cleaning up one neighborhood at a time.
The dumpsters were very giving today!!
It was a beautiful day Mike.
I like happy dogs.
5:01 my brother had peacocks in his neighborhood in San Antonio. Beautiful.
That’s right, MTS is Awesome. We love you!
Got me through a bad day thanks mike
Mike just want you to know you're the best scrapper on here keep up the good work and say safe
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 rope seems to be something a crafter would love. Yard sale stuff!
Good finds
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.
yeah my favorite scrapper. how about longer videos plzzzzzzzz
Good show, love them Mike. Nice load, you have an awesome day catch you later.😎👊🏻
I was beginning to wonder if you had a relapse. Glad to see you!!!!
relapse?
Well I can out weird you on weird finds( well maybe,) I found a stripper pole!! Out for bulk pick up!!! The peacock is cool!!. Stay safe out there Mike, angel from Norfolk.
I liked those bins. So versatile.
Always makes me laugh watching you hunt . Keep up the hard work mike
The ad lib when is dumpster diving is entertaining :)
Love watching/listening to your videos.
That Connex is an awesome find! easy couple hundred bucks
Wonder how long it took for them to realize their bed fell off the roof 😮😮😮
And a very expensive one, a sleep number bef
