- 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. Be sure to stay subscribed to stay up to date with my latest expeditions, y'all!
My friend one thing about it, you earn your money every day. And you have a good attitude about it. Good job.
You are a hard worker. I have scrapped for 25 years and I Injoy it more than the money. To me it is like a treasure hunt each and every day I got out and scrap.
And Forrest would say "Life is like a Dumpster, you just never know what you are going to get."
Saving the world one dumpster at a time
You hit the JACKPOT!!! I imagine it's hard work, but hopefully the reward is worth it!
Thanks for the video, loved it as always. Your boundless energy is amazing. I am glad to see you finally delving into a few garbage bags, you rarely seem to do so and I always want to yell out, 'Mike, tear that sucker open, you never know,' LOL
ETA: You did a good job re-Tetrising the boxes. 😁😁😁
I wanted him to tear open those bags in the last dumpster but could tell he was beat up (the heat just wears you down). He wasn't even up to dumping them out. But unlike MANY people in the comments, I'll never judge Mike for missing something or leaving something behind. You would think Mike is working for THEM and they're not getting their percentage, the way they jump all over him. If HE is satisfied with what he scored, we should be too. 🙂💪🐼
Thank goodness for getting all of that from getting into the landfill. I love to see things being recycled awesome!
WOW someone got new scanner registers. That was a huge amount of scrap. Love your tambourin playing. Lol stay safe and God Bless
The boxes had quite high tech servers $1,000 each, the metal things were the stands but my guess is they installed them in racks and the stands were totally unwanted. Blue Teflon coated hex bolts sell for $2.00 on eBay, so you might be quids in there! The massive scrap haul was pretty much all XRT supermarket scanners I think, so that's pretty cool too :-D
L1llllllllĺ1lĺa
It’s getting colder here in New England. The leaves are falling! 😩 Anywho, I got one of them dvd recordable out of my dumpster, and it works! Better yet, sold it on eBay for $75! Be well, Mike! ✌🏻
maybe maybe record your dumpster diving lol might get more views than your tapdancing videos not that there is anything wrong with tapdancing.
🤘
That looks like a full day of processing! Young Bertram from the farm says Ryobi is the only brand where you can mix and match any of their batteries and tools, irrespective of age, and they will still function. If so, then you only need one old Ryobi battery to test all that lot.
Greetings Mike. This definitely was a fun adventure. We hav to do this again. We'll be waiting for you in Dottie. GOD BLESS you always. You did amazing, yippee. Be safe,healthy &blessed always
Early dinner time viewing!! Watching the scrapping adventures of Mike!! It’s good to go deeper as long as you can get back!!! 😂😂
@Consciously Aware good evening stay well.
Mike, that Crown amplifier is going for $300+ on Ebay, great find.
You got so excited about the metal in each box, but you forgot the power cords lol.
Not to sound ridiculous but if you toss or throw pencils the led inside actually breaks and there no good. That's why when you sharpen them the led just keeps falling out cause it's broke up inside
So GOOD when it's all in one dumpster.
👏
🎉
I watching re runs because your so funny Mike I like the way you turn an honest buck as well
It’s crazy what people throw away 😳
Just advice, grab wires from those neatly stacked boxes. Also yes I’m in Pennsylvania it’s getting to cold to fast
Yeah I was wondering why he didn’t.
I kept screaming at mike to grab those wires
Same here.
Mike you always inspire. Grabbed a little scrap I need to send to you. Waiting for the scrap run next. Always love to see the fruit of your labors.
Oh my gosh what a score. You work do hard mike. Yoyr the greatest. Thanks mike.😊😊😊
Nice score Mike!! You deserve it though, you work bloody hard. I can see a cleaning scrap video and a scrap run video on the horizon!!!
Dude i just found your channel. I'm house sitting in a beautiful lakeside town in New Zealand and i can't go outside just yet cos i'm obsessing over your dumpster finds! lol love your energy and humour! Right i'm going to check out the dumpsters again tonight. Don't find alot in NZ. Dump fees are astronomical, like a dumpster like the one you go to would be around $450nz dollars to empty. It forces people to recycle and burn crap they don't want but the building site dumpsters! man i make alot of money off of them.
Sometimes I can't believe how wasteful companies are....that being said, one man's trash is another man's treasure. 😁
Gold dont choose where to goes.

One man's trash is another man's treasure. I heard that a long long time ago I am now 50 years old and I heard that some time before I was 11 years old because that is when my parents decided to move out of the big city to the country. Then I started to pick up center blocks left behind when someone had the mobile home repoed . Then in my 20 's I started hauling more junk in.
GOD BLESS YOU AND ALL WHO READ THIS AMEN.
HAPPY NEW YEAR 2023
Keep getting it Mike you the man!!!
If I owned the company that had the last dumpster, I'd have one of the employees scrap that and use the money for a party fund.
Well it's a good job you dont own it bud or he wouldn't get any dinner lol lol
One man’s trash is another man’s treasure!!
Love my battery mower, have used them for years. I have bad luck with engines. 😜
When a great day. God bless you and be safe 😎
hey bud made a broom handle with a poker on one end and a hook on other. makes life a little easier for some things
I borrow my neighbors all the time. It is the best lawn mower I have used. It is so light and easy to use. They have 4 batteries and the fast charger.
Wow. This. Channel. Is. So. Exciting. And. Fun. To
Watch. Looking. For. Treasures. That. Are. Good
scrap collecting is like the tides . . . it ebbs and it flows .
That’s a score for sure brother!!! Keep up the good work.... scrapity dapity dooooooo...... 👍🏻
When you said that you needed help sorting out the stuff that you had got I was thinking I would love to do that and then I saw that the video was old but you also live a few hours away from me. It would be nice to see what all you got out of that load. Like different metals and wire and the pay out.
GOD BLESS YOU AND ALL WHO READ THIS AMEN.
HAPPY NEW YEAR
Hi Mike, what a haul of stuff, you did forget the boards in the clear plastic bag, oh my. That's Ok, you definitely got lots of scrap. Take care of yourself and rest a bit. God Bless!!!!!!!!!!!
Its really stunning what you can find in dumbsters....(somone's trash is someone else's treasure)
No offense to anyone but when you started chanting the Hare Krishna mantra with the two tambourines I fell from the chair laughing. You are great.
FOR REAL!NOW THE INDIAN PART I WAS LIKE F U!LOL

I was surprised he knows what they harnay krishna's are!!
Hey Mike, that dumpster gave a lot of love, nice come up get yo scrap on..bro
Wow what a great find i'm happy for you 💖
I have never seen so much scrap in your truck! You certainly got a workout 🏋️♀️
What an awesome haul.
Bloody hell mike, it will take you a month to process all that stuff, great for the scavenger
Mike your gonna have alot of dismantling yeahhhh baby!!!!
That's my Mike!!! What a haul!
This was major awesome! Can’t wait to hear how much this brought you!!! Great video.
You'll be able to get copper from those trimmer motors. Good find.
Those chairs in 1st dumpster looked nice...good solid chairs. They could always be recovered, if needed. Im sure size and space are a deciding factor when diving. But those could be sold for a nice profit. Enjoyed your video... you have great energy and animation!!! 😀 💚👍
Just in time, I’ve been Hurting for a new video. I seriously watched every video on your channel in the last month. I would say I am addicted.
Good job, Mike! 😊
That’s one of the HOME DEPOT RETURN PALLETS where these people buy the pallets and resale the good products that are still good
Lol, BOOM, IN YO FACE!!! That video definitely wasn't weak! Get that Scrappitty SCRAP, Mike the Scavenger! You Da Man!! Be safe, and have a great week!
So many good stuff that can be useful, reuse, repair or sell. If I was there I will bring the wooden palette, chairs there's many think i can do with those wood :) thank you for sharing this video. Stay safe my friend. God bless you always.
Try not throwing boxes outside first as you only need to do that after your ready to exit bin lol.
Make it. Sell it. Buy it. Chuck it. America. Ferk yeah!!
Hey Randy didn't I tell you to pack those boxes nice and neat like so we would have more room? I did boss. Your fired. LMAO. This dumpster has been great. Mike: I'll send the business owner a Christmas card, thanking him for his generosity. It turned out to be an awesome night for dumpster diving. YEE HAW
Just stomp those boxes to the bottom on the way out. All is forgiven.
Reduce, Recycle, Reuse... saving the planet one piece of scrap at a time.
Tambourines & Cimbles
Buddha has blessed you with many happinesses.
Hey Mike plastic basket with wheels good for taking fishing equipment and the river,cooler food suntan lotion or just moving things around your house
yo mike you would be proud, I scavenged a toy VW bus (sold it for $20), a kayak paddle (sold it for $15), a PS3 (sold for $25) and some applewood and some oak that ive been using in the smoker and bbq, been a good week just grabbing curb scores!!!
3:50 Hmmm server-side and tambourine... Apparently someone took the joke seriously :D
HOLY TOLEDO!! COOLIO! GREAT FIND THERE , Mike!! Peace to all...♥︎
What a great night Mike
Wow great finds my friend what a lucky day of dumpster diving. Continue making great video 📸.
Big 💰
🤭🤣👊me encantan tus piñas!!! Saludos desde Castelar-Argentina 🇦🇷👋
Mike that's gotta be the best haul in a while, lots a good stuff. Have a great weekend although I reckon you might have to burn up a bit of it sorting :-)
I think those are mounting brackets for the monitors that came in those boxes. Good scrap.
I was surprised you didn't grab all the blue web straps that were I the boxes that had all the nice metal slides or brackets..but then I didn't have a. Lose look like you did..love your videos Mike
YAY NEW VID AAAAAWWWWOOOOO!!!
Thanks Mr. Mike!
i've got a couple dozen of those ryobi 18+ tools. they're made by the same people who make milwaukee tools. i have had no problem with any of the ones i have bought, and use them on a daily basis. the batteries are another story. i've had to rebuild a few of them using 18650 cells i got from old laptop batteries, and harbor freight tool batteries. they contain quality samsung cells, at a price that's cheaper than i can buy the cells by themselves. can't beat that with a stick.
С такими мусорками я бы стал миллионером🤣🤣🤣🤣
Оказывается и миллионеры ведут блоги...😂😂😂
Great job Mike keep on doing what you're doing. You can say whatever you want whenever you want. That your constitutional right. For those that are not educated. Talk to you later my friend. 👍👍👍❤️❤️❤️😎😎😎
i would take the basket to help organize in the back of the truck often
You could probably sell the nuts and bolts for more then scrap
He got a crown pro amp. Those are pricey.
The IBM’s are a small point of sale PC, usually used to run a POS system. I have 5 of them from my previous employment which shut down.
Mike you the Man. Get That Stuff. You find the coolest stuff.
Your Friend Topshelf
That was definitely not weak for sure nice stay safe stay blessed
You got the box right there all you have to do is read it or the paperwork that's in it to know what it is LOL
Saves a lot of gas when you only have to go to like 2 dumpsters to fill up the truck!
Man, so much good stuff that was headed for the landfill. I fully believe that garbage dumps are going to be mined for the metals and plastics one day. Dumpsters this full just prove the point
We need a scrap run from this video for sure
You know you got issues when you neatly stack your Dumpster, Now put it back like you found it.😂🤣😅
You must have the luck of the Irish leprechaun!
uwaccaaa..!!! scrap..scrap..scraaaap.!!!😲😲
In all your pallets discovery, do you ever find plastic pallets. I have seen several applications in yards, under trash cans and basement appliances, even a yard pathway that allowed grass to grow through the pallets but allow vehicles access. Think 42” x 48” pavers.
El trabajo perfecto para mí💪💪💪💪💪💪
I can’t believe nobody at that company thought to recycle any of that stainless/electronic stuff at the end there. It’s a shame. Thanks for keeping it out of the landfills. 🤙
Wow it's a very nice stuff incredible and unbelievable what you found I wish I was with you
It seems that everyone pronounces their name wrong it pronounced "'REOBI" even though it is spelled "RYOBI".Looks like he was testing the items and what did not work he threw out and Ryobi is a DIY brand and there were the "'BRUSHLESS' battery-powered tools as you can see by the "MILWAUKEE FUEL BOXES"
Love when u get open tops. Look forward all week to your videos, you’re the best scrapper on iTube U talk to us just like we ar all there with u😁
When I 1st hired into Amoco b4 I was a heavy equipment operator I work with pipe fitters on turnarounds swingin blinds and replacing stud bolts on valves.
We’d like to know how much you make off of all this last haul. So glad u had a great haul
The pink foam is anti-static foam. Great for under record players.
Why didn't U use a box for all the (aluminum slides) you took out?
Should be able to sell all that ryobi stuff. Even broken, someone can probably put couple broken ones together. New theyre like $100 a piece... lot it all up and sell for few hundred FB marketplace!
FUN IN THE COLD
yeahhhh..... it's already cold here in northern West Virginny
It took watching hours and hours of your videos for me to place your voice. Sounds just like Enis from the Dukes of Hazard lol. Love the videos man.
I can't believe you didn't take those chairs in the first dumpster!
Türkiye'den ağzımız açık izliyoruz.
Gratulations. Amazing founds.
