- 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.

We admire your packing skills, Mike.
Please look after your back Mike. Suggest you get a tailgate lifter.. in my twenties and thirties I thought I was invincible and didn't listen to the wise older ones. Alternatively get a back brace from a sports Shop. At 71 I wish I had listened to the old folks.
Hi Dave,
71 is a good thing.
Hey I'm 71 too.
We got there👍
I may one day go that route but a huge part of my success is the speed at which I am able to do this. In my neck of the woods you have to be quick. I feel a lift gate or come along will slow me down not to mention take up space. I do here y’all about this and I appreciate the concern. Thanks
Scrap & Pallet man got a tail gate lifter! It’s a live saver for him! Check into it Mike! I think $3000.
Having severe pain in my back, so the Doc sent me for xrays. It transpires that not only do I have undiagnosed scoliosis, which has caused osteoarthritis, but also that 3 discs have collapsed, trapping nerves in my spine!! Oh and at some point in the past i had managed to break my back!!!!!
I thought i was invincible too, but now at only 57, I could be facing spinal surgery 😱😭🤦🏼♀️ Please be 'back aware'. X x
I was going to say the same thing.
The ceiling fan groans are priceless!
America First 🇺🇸
Always!🇺🇸👍🏼✝️❤️
Man you can put 20 pounds of stuff in a 5 pound bucket. Good job Mike the man.
It's nice to watch how polite to ppl. You are thank you
You crack me up every time you make that voice over scream when you bust off those ceiling fan blades. 😄🤣😂
Scrappity loves aluminium ladders
Nice day, stay safe❗️
Always a delight to watch your collect your treasures.😊
I really appreciate the fact that you are interested in recycling reselling and repurposing everything you find. 👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏
Like I say, no better way to start the day than coffee and Americas favorite scraper Mike the Scavenger. 🙂🙂🙂🙂
haha that's true, awesome channel for sure.
I finally got to be number one thank you
I like it when you take the blades off the ceiling fans and they cry out. That's funny.😁. Jim's wood shop.
Dr Destructo had his way with that front-loader washer. I guess no one will yell "that might have worked" this time.
Wow! You packed Dottie pretty tight. Great scores. Have a good day, and be safe out there.
Lol at the fact of you having a casual conversation while midway karate chopping the blades off the ceiling fan and then casually saying well have a nice day the look on that guys face I bet was priceless🤣
Mike. I actually turn my tv off and look forward to watching you dig thru trash. Love your channel and I appreciate you filming and releasing episodes. Thank you for your hard work.
That washer has a Fisher & Paykel motor. You can sell those on eBay even when it's in pieces. People turn them into 3-phase generators. Wind generators, water generators, etc.
What a nice way to wind down a Monday! Thanks!
Heck yes
Just had an awesome scrap run this Monday morning.
62 lb no1 $ 192.20
38 lb romex(ins #1) $66.12
163 lb elec motor $35.86
108 lb old sheet $ 28.08
70 lb clean brass $ 112
GRAND TOTAL: $434.26
Nice!
I miss those days. Used to scrap when I was a trashman, made about 400 a month just grabbing wire, motors and any copper/brass/aluminum. If I coulda had a truck follow me all day I probably would have made 400 a day. People throw away so much its almost insane.
Hey Mike is that fan a fan of urs. 😁😁
Thanks Mike! I started watching your videos now I'm looking at trash cans and dumpsters for scraps.
Hi from Australia 🇦🇺
Mike you could use the white basket that you found at around 2:24 to put on your bmx for when you ride around in parking lots for wire and other small pieces of scrap
Mike bro! You slapping that ceiling fan like if it owed you money!! Keep picking 👍🏻
12:10 “Probably Definitely Most Likely gonna hang on to….” Lmao
I’ve seen peeps sell those strappy lawn chairs for good money. You might want to check into that. Thanks so much for sharing 💜

That guy had to be cracking up listening to you grunting as you break those fan blades. I know I was

Fun trip today Mike
"It fell off Captain","How is that possible Mr. Scott?" "Can you fix it Bones?" "Damnit Jim,I'm a doctor not god." 🤣🤣🤣🤣 Couldn't help it.
Love the ol stack an strap ...... Nice haul Mr. Mike
Scrappity scrap scrap 👊👍
Nice pick stay safe, stay blessed, 🙏 stay amazing 👏
Beautiful picking Mike well done
Nice change up. Beautiful day. Thanks for taking us along.
i wish my neighborhoods laid out metal like yours does
Great haul.
The 2 lawnmowers & the pressure washer, probably easy fixes.... Nice money there...
Two craftsman mowers in one trip nice
You crack me up bro cute little light.
Be you my friend!
Well done. 💙❤️
i find knocking the metal slugs out of motor coils to be relaxing, and sometimes, their big magnets i can play with inside them.
Let's Freaking Gooooo Scrappity Scrap
Nice dumster diving
Always keepsafe
Mowers Blowers & Wackers galore
I know you've probably heard it a thousand times, but those old aluminum folding chairs are big bucks on ebay. Crazy!!
I know you are still recovering from the surgery and I just keep watching some of the other videos I've already seen just to stay in touch with the scavenger
I've never bought a lawn mower, pick them up at the curb, clean the carb and it's all good.
niceeeee good job those are expensive brand new
Gardening on hold for while slowing 🐌 down
Those lamps are pretty. Especial the one with stained glas in it.
Nice haul even better the packing job you did, expertly packed. Mike you have a nice day.😎👊🏻Always a GOOD SHOW. (PEACE)
Guten Abend aus Germanii. 👍👌💪💵💰
Another Fantastic All Sorts Street Scrapping - well done and Lots of Stuff ! That Press.Washer needs to be Investigated - it may run ! Brand New Skillets - who in their Right Mind throws them out ??!! Great Video and Entertaining Mike ! Many Cheers from us in Australia !!!!
Sell the pressure washer and mowers for $20 ea. They just need the carbs cleaned. Same with the leaf blower/trimmers. The 2 strokes may need new fuel lines and the carb cleaned with new carb diaphram gaskets.
Good score on the Craftsman mower. Carburetors are easy to clean and a new one is inexpensive online. Replaced two easy peasy.
I am really learning what products never ever to buy as Mike repeatedly is picking some of the same things
That's your new name Scrappy-Doo
Fun times
your editing is better every video
Them Chief Spans are real wide!!!; )
Thanks for sharing this with us, Mike! Take care everybody! Peace to all....💜💙💜💙💜💙💜💙💜
Awesome haul.
Yes, look after your back! What if you get hurt and we don’t have your fun videos to watch anymore? Think of us & our pain!!
Mike's wants a johnny One piece at a Time 🤣🤣🤣
Lol great haul.
I have that same Grill, best grill ever.
Keep up the great work MTS! The title to this one, is a phase my buddy and I say often, when out on the boat, fishing! All the best Mucker! Mike the bike, in the Borderlands, `Scotland.
Geez Mike you are a speedy guy. You just zip thru those neighbourhoods! 😁
Good day
Another fun trip Mike on the curb can't wait for the next on
Watching some guys loading a Grill makes my brain hurt, turn it this way, no that way, take off the shelf, no the lid. Damn they should learn from you. One big push and get in the truck you old grill. Yeah, that's the way. You rock sir.
Nice finds there .
Mike when I find mowers if I cant get them going with a little bit of tinkering, I have a few repair shops local that will give 20 to 30 dollars each for them for parts. Might be something to look into, for example those big rear wheels are 20 dollars and up each new. Love your videos keep up the good work.
You got a great haul this time Mike!
Cool Mike
Go get it mike
Another great entertaining video Mike. Thanks Buddy. Rob T Australia 🇦🇺
The Beavis and Butthead reference was great.
haha agree
Love your humor 😅
(5:16-5:26) Sound effects crack me up. Speedy Gonzales the lizard and friends. You kill me Mike in all you can do.
Awesome mate, great scrap run and definitely pull those carbys off the pressure washer and the lawn mower and give them some carby cleaner I bet they start.
that's why I always use noctane free gas in all my mowers, weed eaters and small engine stuff. noctane free gas is more expensive but it will never gum up in the carb, go bad or anything like that and your equipment will run better and last longer. it's hard to find in some areas but it's out there usually at farm stores that sell gas. it's usually a little over a buck higher than regular gas but well worth it keeping your small engines running good.
Another good video
Felicitări Mike.
Masaya ako habang pinapanood ko Ang iyong video idol mike
Good morning
Like the way you spank the fan😂😂😂😅😅🤣😜
Hey Mikey!!!! we wanna see
