- 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 World needs more people like Mike.

His enthusiasm just makes my day!
The best that U Tube has to offer, a good MAN, he is like a box of chocolates, ya never know what he will find, muchlove to ya.
Animal lovers are my favorite kind of people
My oldest daughter had two English bulldog. Lost one few weeks ago.. part of the family was loved so much
I've watched a couple others on here that do same thing you do... No one compares to your style, you can pack a truck like no other.. Keep posting and I'll keep watching
I take it you've never watched Mr. Scrappity now that guy can really pack a truck
@@christopherjacobs2746 don't believe so, but out of the dozen others I've watched, mile definitely keeps me interested
@@christopherjacobs2746 is a good night sweet! 00
copyright strike for, that tune in the intro. on your car radio ;-)
Mike is definitely unique. I watch a couple other scrappers as well but Mike is #1. Try Scrapping with Volt and the ladies of scrap it up.
Mike showing the people how to talk to people with manners and common courtesy! People these days could learn a thing or two! 🙏🇬🇧🇺🇸
Verdade. 👏👏
For sure!!
Definitely

As a driver for waste management..
I see so much waste everyday, in landfills, and in dumpsters... this makes me happy to see someone doing good saving and recycling... I try to do the same hen I can
Keep up the good work!
Males me happy too, but you have to admite it is hard work and not for everyone
Your positivy is the reason I watch your videos. Thank you!
I got a free pressure washer (electric 1500 psi ) off the street as well, guy said it needed a chinese washer that could handle high pressure to stop it from leaking from the handle and spraying him in the face. He didn't want to order once from china just easier to buy a new one. I took it home and used a faucet washer and it's been works fine now :)
Never fails to amaze me, how much useful items that people throw out when they tire of it.
Also, my speech patterns are now including "snibbets" and " a little sumpin". My wife asked me what the heck I was talking about, as I drove down the street looking over trash at the curbs. At 79, I am not going to start scrapping like you and Scrap and Pallet Man, but I do have a younger nephew who does it on a smaller scale off and on. But - - - I have taken to carrying a pair of linesman pliers in the trunk, to cut cords off appliances!
Mike always chears up the day😊🕺🏻
Funny guy just
Likeable farthing etc
If you can get the generator running . Plug a drill into it, and pull the trigger while spinning the drill chuck with your hand.. It might just have lost it's magnetism to excite the windings. It's worth a try. If you let the generator set for a long time it can lose it's magnetism.
Favourite two pickers.. Mike the scavenger + Poly Prophet!!! 👍
Have you ever watched Nacho stuff hes pretty funny
And can't forget MR SCRAPITY
Yuup, watch them all but I said too two! All decent CZcams uploaders but my fave two are Mike + Poly. 🙏to All.
He talks as if we're in the dumpster with him. Words as watch your head. He has more saying , I just love him. I'm 74years old , he's a kid to me . I love him .
MIke really appreciate the way you do you scrap run like we are all sitting on your shoulder and along for the ride. you give great explanations as to what your doing. Keep up the great work.
Millionaire Mike at it again yall
I really enjoy your videos. I tried watching some of the others but I don't enjoy them as much. I look forward to yours everyday. Keep them coming. Great job.
Me too. No comparison.
Mike You should have a live Q&A Your fans would love to see you !
Mike, King of the Scavengers, another great haul of great stuff! You find beds, wheelchair, and all kinds of metal. Mike is the scrap whisperer, yes.😊💯👏🏽👏🏽👌🏽👍🏽🧔🏽🛻🥾🥾👑 Where is that feral cat we used to hear in an empty dumpster?
I’ve been watching your videos for about 6 months now. I decided to do my first dumpster today after work, an open top. I went through that thing up, down and sideways, I moved pallets and heavy cardboard and all the f’n trash and I’m completely exhausted. You gotta be in great shape to do that all night. I filled a large bin with aluminum and snibits. Keep pumping out those videos, they are a learning tutorial.
If you get that wheelchair to someone who repairs them, they can reuse lots of parts to fix wheelchairs for poorer people for free. You can be a hidden hero!
I like watching you work on my day off. Lol
Send me an Angel by Real Life. I love your taste in 80’s tunes Mike!! Keep on singing…..and scrappin’!!
Thank you Mike for allowing me to live vicariously through you. Love your videos. Keep on saving the planet and educating all of us on ways to help do the same. Sadly, as humans, we are so wasteful. Be safe out there!
The white board easle for poster board... save for your next yard sale signs. White metal boxes for wall unsafe. Great haul today. Thanks for sharing this video. Wishing you and your lady a blessed week. Peace brother.
OMG, Mikey is picking up the lesser metal. Wall studs!
The sleeper has awakened! Every bit of metal do has value!!!!!!! Yay!
Mike is the man! Planet Earth thanks you for your dedication to salvaging useful materials from going to the landfill.
Those road signs you found are worth easy $15-20 each in a yard sale. very collectable for signage. Just thinking that it may be worth more to pick up stuff like that then 3-4" pieces of copper wire. Plus, folded up they take up very little space - assuming that you would save them for your next sale.
I like your headlamp haha you can tell she wasnt ready for your compliment haha
The one and only Mike the Scavenger
Great Collection of EVERY RECYCLABLE MATERIAL. ♻️ ♻️♻️♻️♻️♻️♻️
My family and I love watching your videos! Thank you, Mike, for keeping it family friendly.
Another Successful Street Scraping and Dumpster Diving Adventure - You found some real Good Stuff and Such - well done indeed - Loving You Videos and many Cheers from us in Australia !!!!
I have been watching your channel for 2 years. The microwave glass plate is GREAT for making NACHES on. WATCH YOUR HEAD !!! You are a Great Person. Scrapper 👆 Life !!!
Y'all are respectful & friendly down in that there part of Texas! Lot of good stuff collected along your path of travel! "Head lamp"😁😄
It’s the Texas way!
Cleaning out my yard today after a renovation and got a nice scrap pile accumulating. Find myself saying 'snibbets' and 'scrap' over and over again while rifling though all the garbage. Thanks for that. :D
I do that as well, watching Mike is the highlight of my day I always smile and laugh, your the best at what you do, I’ve watched lots of other scrap people and some are boring and others don’t explain enough, but with you, you explain really well and your far from boring, I’d love to meet you for a chat, my husband and I both love watching you, we’ve been watching you for a long time now and we will keep watching whilst you keep posting, we are Mr and Mrs Smith and we live in Nottingham England, thank you for entertaining us xx
Your entertaining while you work. Keeping it out of the landfill one dumpster at a time. Scrappers don’t want they wait and it comes to them.
As someone with a CTS certification, that book definitely belongs in the trash. Lol
Always a pleasure to see another video Mike. I can always use a good laugh. You lift my mood . I've been in a wheelchair for about 9 years. I miss diving. Thanks for taking us along
I was waiting on a high pitch squeal from you Mike when that bed folded over.😂😂😂

Thanks,Mike.

The World needs more people like Mike.
I leave all my scrap metal out for someone to pick up. It seems such a waste just to throw it away. I have lots of respect for people who do this for a living, hard work that hopefully pays.
Hey Mike, Great Video Man. Long time Subscriber.
I love how you seem to find the coolest stuff (even if I don’t have a clue what they are)!! 🤣🤣
Awesome find. All kinds of ideas went through my head when I saw those fire boxes lots of potential there have a good weekend
Alright Scavengers!! Love it Mike! Great video.

Mike your off to a good start with a power washer and a generator.
Have a good weekend to you and your family.
Those signs you found good for a man or woman cave.
That double sided copper used for circuit boards or for shielding. Mike can you save those red caps you left behind 26:50 ?
Dust caps.
Mike the Stator or brushes. Since the regulator was already replaced. Could be what I mentioned.
I always kept garbage bags with me curbside collecting. I would just throw it in a bag and seal it.
Mike making it happen once again 👍
He always makes it happen big time!!
Ok I can’t be the only one that answers his questions like I’m talking directly to him 😊

Always watching!!
every video i watch mike you keep getting better and better with your video's i love watching them
Hey mike Joe from South Africa peace bro
I can’t remember if I seen this video before. I probably have probably a couple times. But Mike is so damn cool I’m gonna watch it again old dumpster diver here. 71
I noticed the blurred out shipping labels on boxes. Good idea.👍
Gotta keep your routes secret!
My friend Patrick Bateman still uses a business card and I'd advise not dissing it.
He's very touchy about his card! 😉
Great video as usual Mike.
You are the hardest working man in show biz!
Every time Mike says what have we got here I have to say a little bit of scrappedy scrap scrap 😂 ✌️🇬🇧😎
Mike. In regards to your t-shirts. You could print six of the weirdest items found in the Residential trash and six in the Commercial dumpsters. Collect all twelve!!!. Let us not forget the underwater wiring complete with barnacles.We all want to remember these weird things. Oh snibbets too.
I ADORE THE ENTHUSIASM YOU EXPRESS WHEN YOU LOCATE SCRAP AND INTERESTING JUNK and WIRES no matter how small..... you educate us as to what treasures you locate IN THE URBAN JUNGLE...plus how you inform your viewers as to what the items are actually labelled.... plus you treat the residents on the streets with such politeness and respect...........you always make us feel involved when you let us know what such valued dumpster divers like to pick up ......and where the "secret brass and copper pieces are . The ride is so much fun since your humour is a total hoot. !!! Your wonderful determination to search through the dumpsters and how your eyes are so sharp.....what ur vast knowledge what items are actually are ........make us feel so excited when you score even the smallest piece of scrap wires.
I like your head lamp 😆✌
“I like your head lamp.”
😂🤣😂
jibbedy jibbedy another great treasure hunt
I'm amazed at the waste in our country.
Mike those car barrier things are called bollards, and if you search for the word, they are some of the funniest damn videos on CZcams, when people try to drive thru them!! 😂
Good scrap
We can take those signs to the yard w/a signatured letter from city and phone # if they feel the need to call for validation.the same w/shopping carts,need a letter from the stores.
Guten Abend aus doischland. 👍👌💪💵💰
I was walking in San Antonio Friday and passed a piece of wire on the sidewalk…had a twinge of snibbet guilt but figured a SA scrapper might be along shortly.
That lamp at beginning must of been part cat. It fits, it sits.🤪🤪🤪🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🚚
2 pressure washer started the day and the women liked your Headlight. LOL. THAT WAS GREAT! Good stuff in your video this time around. Thanks again Mike for the Journey
Love your channel ❤ so keep on finding "a little sumpun-sumpun" and remember to "watch yo haid"
you know I turned 70 today ,
well actually yesterday, I do not get around ,it's s my leg muscles , if I happen to fall my legs are week ,
My point is I live a lot through you tube and I thank you guys for that.
That water pipe fitting is called a shark bite not snake bite 😉
Why is it called that?
@@jvjdrn I assume because of the way they bite the pipe? Not really sure.. Exspesive but definitely my fitting of choice
A teacher would love those presentation boards.
4 straight hours.. premium content sir.
Awesome mike I used to love doing what you do☮️
Mike, you put in some hard work with what you do!!
Every time Mike Punches and Kicks a new Dumpster I keep wanting someone from inside to pop up screaming.
Like a jack in the dumpster? 🙃
Yep 😁
You were so nice to the low grade extension.......good on ya man!
I'm amazed you pronounced cordial correctly as many Americans don't. Cordial is a sweet fruit or flavoured concentrate that you diluted with water and is a great beverage to drink cold with ice or you can even freeze it to make nice icy treat. Definitely not alcoholic. Enjoyed by many during the summertime :D think Kool-aid, but liquid instead of powder, and already sweetened.
What a nice day
somebody sure would have baught those signs
I died from laughing with the goat sound at 32:44! :D
Organic cordial and radioactively enhanced! Hmmm Yummie!
The bottles of cordial is a drink you mix with water 😂😂
