- 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 love your videos!!! I’m an ER nurse and and I’ve had a few bad days, one was on Saturday. You’re videos are just what I need on those bad days. You have a great sense of humor. I knew nothing about scraping but I’ve learned a lot and I get happy when you find great, odd finds. Keep up the great work Mike. God bless you. ✌🏼I’m so glad I ran into your video. I think about a year ago. Been looking forward to them since.
That’s funny I am an Emerg Nurse as well. 😂😂

Dumpster diving is all about stealth and quietness, you make enough noise to wake the dead. Lol. Another classic episode. 👍👍
The factory floor mats, when we replaced ours with weathertec, went in the back on top of the spare tire.
Because kneeling on a carpet floor mat is way more comofrtable than kneeling on the chipseal shoulder when changing a tire, no matter what the weather.
3 ring binders are kida expensive. Would be good for the kids going back to school
I kept checking and refreshing the feed and Voila! It's Mikey in the house!!
Haha so I'm not the only one who does that then 👍😂
I'm in Valinhos SP I'm 62 years old and I also like to watch your CZcams channel for me it's a pleasure to see you messed up with these objects that you collect from the trash
How I imagine Mike's response to the "how are you doing?" scraptastic 😁😂
غضخل
Glad to know us people in new england are not the only ones that seem to get rain way too often this summer. I pour concrete so it creates real problems with getting loaded concrete trucks around the job sites with so much mud.
That graphics card! I’d love to come across that in the trash!
aaRhrj
I came across tons of gpu that a hospital tossed out by my work. made good money out of it.
The Founders edition it's a absolute beauty hehe
It looked untouched probably in mint condition
Dude I can't believe how much I love dumpster diving lol... I never did it until I started watching your videos and now it's where most of the scrap I get comes from... and I always go to places that are doing construction and been getting a lot of wire and good stuff

Mike, while I have always shared your enthusiasm for scrapping I no longer have, at 75, your endless energy. You are one energizer guy. Remember most schools can put to good use a box of pens and pencils.
I'm only 42 and it's not as easy for me to climb in as it was 10 years ago. I wonder if he has ever done like me and slipped when going to hop in and rake both shins down the edge of a dumpster. I stood there leaning against it for what felt like an hour swearing I was done lol. Actually I was back out the next day.
TV Parts are still profitable on eBay !
Power supply, back lighting& sound units with speakers.
Mike with his mouth full talking to the scrap is my new favorite.
Until you realize he was handling the pocketknife with the dumpster juice gloves before he put it in his mouth.
Dumpster Juice yeah
😂👍
MrsMorrisReads I agree with you. That has become my favourite too. Quite comical. 😁🌈🇨🇦
نننض
i love how he greets the dumpster and hes also super enthuastic
That dumpster was full of number one and number one 😂
Lawdy Lawdy, I been hoping for a video for days! Just added some oldies to my play list, too. Thank you, Mike!!
Mike I always love how respectful you are and clean up after you are done. Stay safe and healthy Mike 🙏❤🙏
I cant imagine Mike in stealth mode 😆
As a plumber that works with a lot of other trades and does mostly commercial work, you would not believe how much shit we actually throw out, new and slightly used shit.
30:41 - "Dallas Cowboys in the trash where they belong" LMFAO!!
Ouch.........LOW BLoW...
That gtx 970 is a graphics card for a computer
The Multi media card reader plugs into the USB pins on the motherboard and let's you read all types of camera cards
The netgear USB is a wireless adapter so you can get wifi on a computer
Was a GTX 770 Founders Edition inside the box.
I found a similar card reader too and soldered a USB cable to it so I can use this as a regular external reader.
Graphics card is worthless btw.
The stands for Big Screen TV’s can bring Big Bucks.Many have a Model Number on them also for reference.👍😱

Let's hop in with the juices!
Perfect t-shirt slogan
Got me some dumpster juice on me the other day, thought of you Mikey hahahha
Another awesome video mike the scavenger!
You make my day Mike, I always look forward to your videos!
You just having too much fun. 😅🤣😂
got to love going for snippets
We need a shirt that says “watch yo head!”
Watch yo head Kimberly Mays!
Sad to see a Viking dish washer in the trash. That's good stuff
I like those stop boards. There are collecters for them.
Well done my friend who was recently named the best content because this is halal looking for food. Good job my friend..👍👍
you put so much energy into what you do....great to watch...and as for quiet, I dont think you could be quiet ,but as you are only dumpster diving it doesnt matter too much...LOL...be safe
Had me rolling over the waffle..lol
Fun finds! Enjoyed watching! Love your new truck sign 💨 lol
Those freon tanks you always pass on... don't they have a brass valve you can turn off???
The torture weapons is for making rotisserie chicken. You put one on each side of the chicken. Another Awesome video, Great Job Mike!!!!!
Really enjoyed your video. Lots of great finds. God bless you and be safe 😊
That juice looks GROTY!! 😆😂🤣
Love dumpster diving
I do the same brother in Australia the amount of goodies I find is out of this world lol love watching your finds cheers from Oz
Waffle!!🤣🤣
Mike love your videos. Watching a long time. Thank you. Evelyn from trxas.
Dude, you are in-SANE! I mean that in the best way!
Too bad that Viking dishwasher was damaged. Very expensive and top-of-the-line appliance.
Hey Mike- there is no mercury in florescent bulbs, they are filled with Argon gas. Only antique neon light's were filled with Mercury!
On average, CFLs contain about four milligrams of mercury sealed within the glass tubing. ... No mercury is released when the bulbs are intact (i.e., not broken) or in use, but mercury vapor and very small beads of mercury can be released when a CFL is broken.
www.epa.gov/cfl/what-are-connections-between-mercury-and-cfls#:~:text=On%20average%2C%20CFLs%20contain%20about,sealed%20within%20the%20glass%20tubing.&text=No%20mercury%20is%20released%20when,when%20a%20CFL%20is%20broken.
Gene -There IS mercury in all fluorescent light bulbs and tubes, but won't harm you if not broken. They should be turned in for proper disposal so the mercury doesn't wind up in landfills, as they will get broken and release the mercury into the environment.
@@georgiadavison4394 there is no mercury in modern florescent bulbs- they havn't used mercury in florescent lights since the 70's my dear! I worked in the industry for several years- modern flourescent lights contain Argon gas which is not toxic nor harmful to the invironment! We use ARGON to shield welds in welding, it removes the oxygen from the atmosphere around the welds to prevent carbon buildup in the welds-.. Look it up if you don't believe me- mercury was removed from the process in the 70's at the same time we removed lead from paint! Due to it's toxicity to human's and the environment! What you are thinking of is NEON lighting which uses different elements to change colors in the light's- in that case red is mercury!
Wow cool house. Take easy. Can’t wait for the next video.❤❤
A Nvidia GeForce GTX 770 is older but still worth like $150 if it works. :) Video cards are expensive right now.
Mike all your videos are 👍!!
Your so fun to watch!! So upbeat!!
Love ya
Hi mike just finished my shift get home and looking forward 2 watching your video always amazing and have a laugh 😆 u have a great sense of humour as always stay safe regards 2 family peace ✌️😎respect 🍀
Hi! Mr. Mike. Getting dumpster love. From your Philly fan! Be safe always. And many blessings. 🤗😁😉🤩😎😍👏👏👏👍🤑😇💖💣☕
Glad your safety boots are back!
You make diving interesting.✌️
Missing you Mike! Hope all is well with you and yours.
Those stop signs can sell for some good money!
Mike you can part the trays and basket etc. off that dishwasher for good money.
some smuck ran out his house yelled "you get out of there don't come back, i already called the cops" well he is across the street the open top is not on his property (go sit on a tack) guard comes out "can't have you going in there" "Wouldn't be the first time" "Well it's a safety issue" still check it lol
If I'm dumpster diving somewhere I'm not going to sue the company it's my fault not theirs
@@philiploveyourvideos2740 not going to sue either just be careful should be fine
LOL just went back and watched a video from 2 year ago. Wonder if it hurts Mike to see all off the scrap he bypassed or dumpsters he wouldn’t even look in because they smelled? You’ve come a long way Mike!
I’m like you , I love pens 🖊! Love this channel and you really crack me up!
I'm from california and around here they lock the dumpster up or there behind lock gate I like watching your videos cuz you find alot of good stuff
Same here in Oregon. Plus they don’t recycle everything like we do so all the metal and fun stuff goes away before we can get to them. You have to find roadside stuff or look on Craigslist and sites like that. I like mikes way better!
Would love to see a scrapping video of that AC and dishwasher. Nice Haul.😊
Great haul!
Another great video❣️
BTW those torture devices are what my mom used to use with a rotisserie spit in the grill. Great Chickens in the days before Sam’s Club rotisserie chicken were even thought of yet. 😉
Have a blessed all day all nigth boss mike! Watching from the Philippines!☝❤✌💪😁
CRT monitor haha yup “cathode ray tube” I remember those from the vo-tech school!! 1984! 💯
Mmmm copper yokes!!!😁
Truly amazing that a dishwasher doesn't even last long enough to get dirty!
Hay mike why didn’t you grab the cord and remote for that huge broken Tv. Could have sold the remote people lose those things all the time or their dogs eat them
Lol
Lost 3 so far from my Pit and always looking for a backup…. OEM remotes are expensive
Probably there was a bunch of copper wires around the old tv screen 🤔 Just like in these old school monitors.
Bro you’re my favorite junkie 💪🏼
It was nice to see Dottie!
Always awesome video , and you find the most awesome stuff.
I like when you go the scrap yard! Just subscribed about a week ago, love watching you Mike!
Hey Mike pulling out all the stops on getting that scrap huh?
I mentioned in a video of yours about 1.5 years ago that flouro lights have mercury vapour, im glad you noticed
Those 2 outdoor cookers sell good for fish fry, Turkey fryers
Also to csnners who are looking to set up an outdoor canning space.
No one's freaking out about the graphics card yet? Ok I'll start. A GTX770 in the trash?????
I never personally owned a 770, but isn't that a 2gb ddr3 card?
I know...that sucker is still worth $150 at least.
That graphic card in the trash $$$
I've never found a decent one! Awesome for Mike👀👍😁
@Julia57 just me haha no he has his pocket knife in his mouth
Always good to watch. Love from the UK.
Si šikovný rád pozeram Tvoje videjka. Prajem Ti vela úspěch.
Hey Mike those man man cave stop and fart zone signs nice find. That heater looks like it might be a heat pump. Good copper tonight.
Heat and air conditioner saw the A coil inside 👍
Loved it Mike, awesome you found a decent graphics card 👍😁
You got the dotter all loaded tonight Mikey.
Mike trying his hardest not to break the tube light then the kids come along us hit each other with them.
I wonder how many tons of scrap Mike has kept out of the landfills….. definitely helps the planet and mikes wallet 😝
The tubes in old tvs are worth more than the rest of the tv. And are able to be sold if they aren't broken
Copper as well.
HUGE copper coil!
Some days you just hit the scrap jackpot.👍
Hello Mike good luck and stay safe 🙏👍
I love your videos. However, am I the only one who waves at all the dust stirred up?😂😂😂😂
Nope, you are definitely not.
We all do! 😂
No you n
Eas❤
Those torture devices are to put on a rod to hold meat to rotisserie.
Gah! It's been 5 days! I need scrap videos!!!! Lmao
. . get one of those poles that have press button length adjustment. can make shorter or longer as needed.
You work in a restaurant. Purchase a box of food gloves that way you can put them over your gloves to help keep them dry. When finished leave them in the dumpster. Cheap. And healthier for you. I use them all the time when I have to handle nasty stuff.
Damn I can't even afford a Graphics card and you find one in the dumpster smh keep up the awesome work my man
MIKE ALL THE NUMBERS ON THE DUMPSTERS IS HOW MANY YARDS THE DUMPSTERS ARE....U NEED A PAIR OF BOOTS SO IF U NEED TO GET N A DUMPSTER FULL OF WATER
That particular bord is a tony hawk signature series that is sold by Walmart for around fifteen dollars. Some go for over two hundred dollars but avrage about seventy.
Thank you for your video I’m in the hospital and you make me smile and love watching you scrap great job dude
Fell better soon!
That graphics card will go for $100+ with the shortage of GPU's recently. Dont go too cheap with it. Even spare or repairs ones are doing good money.
nah it was only a 770, mayyybe a hundred if you're lucky
@@lukelegg9915 but.. There is a lot of people wanting to finish building there pc and that is the last peace of the puzzle.
@@Captain-Nomad and a 770 is not a good choice im sorry to say, its far far outdated, only 2 gb of vram
@@lukelegg9915 dont be like that, it could be used for a kids pc to teach them the building basics without too much worry, and it still will work for a lot of older games, retroboxes, etc. think outside the box dude.
@@riskyrecipeh4858 yes those are options but I didnt call it useless, just outdated and not worth over 100 bucks
You should have a pair of BBQ tongs to get those snippets out of the juice!
I used to do this years ago and I found a Bluetooth speaker still in the box cords and all was still in the box and then I also found a few good little items that still worked
Get a flat dustpan for the bottom juice bits...
Looks like an advertising specialties sample pens and such...
Good 💡 idea yeah a Flat metal dustpan with handle and holes for juice to drain out👍🏻
10:00 Yeah, you might ave found yourself a nice GPU here, graphics processing unit, in other words graphics card. 770 can still play good games. I got a 1080ti. the first two letters 10 means the series, in other words the years it is made, there is no 8 series, and then you got 50, 60, 70, and 80, that is the model, where 60 starts as a little over middleclass graphics card so the 70 was a good one, 80 is fastest of these, ti means something extra, more powerful than no ti.
A 760 could play Watchdogs 2 in 1080P unless you did drive around town over extreme distances and fast, then it crashed, but that is not normal gameplay. Watchdogs 2 is known as a CPU hard game,one did got to havea good CPU too to run that. A 770 should play that game good regarding GPU power.
11:12 Might be WiFi network card, memory stick perhaps., may be bluetooth, or a key to software like 3D studio, AutoCad or something like that.
11:42 Memory card reader, can read different kinds of memory cards, included perhaps the one in your mobile phone unless you got one larger than 32GB.. the SD micro card, but needs a cheap micro SD card to SD card adapter first before you can put it in there.
12:24 Looks like a Windows somewhat, perhaps 8, register code. It could be upgraded to Windows 10 for free, But it must be a Windows that is not bound to a computer sold in the store to use it. But if it is the right version you got a universal Windows that can be used in any pc you want it in, the newest one 11 has not yet come on the market.
44:28 Maybe you find a nice expencive Montblanc pen some day, often black and has a white star on top :)
Mike you are so good at that man🙏🏻🙏🏻
9:19 That Nintendo Switch box is worth money.
11:47 That's a built-in card reader for a desktop.
11:58 That's a Wifi dongle. The disc contains the drivers.
12:23 That's a sealed legit copy of Windows 10, complete with the COA sticker. Now that's worth money!
