- 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.

Omg! You gotta watch the video ALL THE WAY TO THE END...Past the truck unloading by backing up....LOL! YOU WON'T BE DISAPPOINTED!
Lmao! Usually he has a pretty good strong gag Constitution lol but not on that night lol..
No doubt! I almost hurled listening to it! 👍👍 I feel bad for him.
Listen to her...lol
No denying Mikey's dedication. I would've left that one alone. Nasty!!!
Hanging out in dumpsters? Nastiness should be expected. If we only knew what our environment really throws at us we would never leave our house! Mike should go see a professional hypnotherapist and get that aversion to urine controlled.😮
I went out this morning to deliver some nice items I found while curb shopping to some very cool buyers that loved what I had found, On my way back I could not resist peeking in a few dumpsters. 30 minutes later my truck is half full again with plumbing, wires and lights.
Thanks Mike, now I can't walk through my garage again.
i asked my scrapyard how many ballasts they send on a load and was told they had 30k lbs waiting to go out and they end up heading to pakistan for recycling. scrap is some interesting stuff :)
Love the conversations never stop being you Mike. Your channel wouldn't be what it is with out that part of you. Don't listen to the haters be the best u that u can be. Love u and the fam. Keep up the great work. Talk if want to there is a mute or they don't need to listen at all. Personally I think it is great way it has been. Love to the fur babies too.
You had the best AND the worst part about scrapping in the same trip. Love your channel. Keep up the good work! 👍
I love the way you have fun while you
are working.
Thank you Mike I'm homebound a lot because of my leg problems it sure is nice to see your videos bring back the good old days when I could still get out and hit them myself bless you and your family I hope you have a great Christmas
Yes very true ❤️ well said
I remember when I could get it done. But now my legs and back are not so good. But I send blessings always to everyone and Mr. Mike and family many blessings and good scraping (all day son) God bless you all now and always ❤️🌹❤️ with much love and respect from Yuma, Arizona ❤️ thank you 💞💖💞 for giving us many smiles and always a good time. An amazing memories
Same! With my grandad❤ hes got dementia bad now and can barely walk but i like to tell him about mikes new finds or show him the big hauls or snibbits that are fast paced-big pay as its easier to grab attention for the full thing! ❤ he can only handle somethings for a longer time like westerns or certain old shows , otherwise hes off to the races with something else😂
I'm guessing that they were leaving the ballist out for you. The cart hit the sewer grate and flipped over.
Incredible load! Wow!
I figure a homeless person was attempting to get them for scrap, but realized it wasn't going to work with a cart.
A much needed zen moment after that run! Lol. Man, you had me laughing and gagging at the same time!
Gagging and laughing is what I was doing too. But I started with the bowl.
Yep,,nasty😂
You just took apart the towns new art installation! 😂
Oh my belly hurts! This video totally hit my funny bone! From the skip pa de do da to the gagging on the pee!
I get too excited when I see you have posted a new one!
Thank you for sharing your joy of life!
You young man, make this grandma smile!
God bless you!
LOL! Got that!
Mike you are the best thing on You Tube, can't get enough of your humor, I find myself laughing my ass off. Your videos are awesome can't wait to see what your going to get into next other than a dumpster of course. Hope everybody is doing well in the family, stay safe, and keep having fun.
The Scrappers Skip, the new dance craze! Great scrappity scrap! Made us laugh when you were yacking!
You know Mike , don’t want you to get it right ! Love you and watch you because you’re great as you are so genuine !
I love your optimism and cheerfulness!! It makes the odd bad day much better!! Many thanks and regards from England. 👍👍
I tell you Mike you put in work no one can say you get your money easy great man THE SCAVENGER!!!!!!!!
I've said it before, I'll say it again.. been watching since about march 2020. You are the first person I ever watched "dumpster dive", and i was hooked within minutes. Always be you, Mike!
I think a fun idea would be you and wifey doing some retail diving 😁. I know it isn't your thing, but retail stores are ALWAYS throwing out shelving from their stores. Keep them videos coming! Much love from Myrtle Beach!
Although it is a tiring and risky job... But you accept it in a funny spirit, I support you and wish you happiness.
We Think You Are Great!! You Always Put A Smile On Our Faces....Who Ever Said You Talked To Much Can BITE ME!!!
Who missed the end snippet .. that gagging . lol BEERS!!!
Mike you are so good at what you are doing. Never stop your talking. You make my day. I laugh so much at you. Love, love what you say and do. Be careful on that bike rides.
What a great personality you have Mike! Love ya work 😁👍
Mike that Motorola is a splitter for a data radio or for GPS.
My camera for my vehicle has a front and rear camera and a GPS antenna showing position.
Came out of a police car.
Remember those cameras and 5" monitor screens you find are part of the system I have. Enjoy. Mike please save the software on dad's. Thank you.
They replaced the ballasts with the led replacement. No ballast needed.
Outstanding, man, I would love to find the amount of scrap you pull out of these dumpsters 👍👍
the amount is the total of the weight he sells to the scrap yard.
@@crzy11000 Yes, of course 😊👍
I came back to watch this one a second time just because it was such fun...you had quite a time dealing with that pile!
Those ballasts we're an offering to "Mike the Dumpster Man" 😂
Clean up and yard trip❤️ would love to see how much you get for the balas
Mike,Dude. You are gonna' fill buckets with the icw on those ballasts. Score.
Mike I would still watch your videos even if you talked for an hour at the end. You are like a TV show that should be on Discovery +. Keep doing what your doing bro awesome content everytime.
Hey there Mike, you know how to grove, hopping, bopping and dancing the dumpster tune. Great haul, especially the balists and lights. Fun was had by all, always get your grove on and get the next giant find in the dumpster, yes.
My guess is someone was told to get rid of the ballasts , so they tried til the cart tipped over
You make laugh you're funny greetings from holland franny
Merry Christmas Mike,
Since I can't climb in dumpsters I use a pool ladder to making getting in and out easier for me. I like the ballasts you found tonight.
You found a cluster of those things.
Brilliant episode as always "leave it cleaner than you found it "
Someone converted some T-5 light fixtures to LED bulbs and tossed the ballasts.
I was looking for this comment. Yep they converted their old lights to LED. The weird part is that now days you can replace the whole fixture for not much more than the kits to convert the lights. And of course replacing the whole light is much easier. I have one job right now that is replacing every light with LEDs and I get to scrap all of the lights. I'm taking about 60 lights per trip.
Morning Mike!!!
Looks like hella-scrappin' today!!!
Yahoo!!! Let 'er buck!!
Right at the start, cubicle lights from under the upper cabinets. Probably not one thing wrong with them, retro fit with the new LED lamps and you're good to go! All of those ballast, someone did a upgrade to a newer energy efficient version probably. I have seen that done before. The energy savings pay for the costs of replacing the old ones in a relatively short time frame and then it's money in the bank for whoever pays the power bill.
16:25 - 16:31 ....This is The Sound Of Victory...Salute Mike The Scavenger ‼
It's scrap, you don't have to get it right. You just have to get it Yeoooowww, Ty for taking us along
Makeing me smile as usual. Thanks Mike. 😁😎🌲
I like the way u clean after yourself💯 u are the first person I see u doing that!!💯🙏
I love your channel so much! Mike you ROCK!
Yes! Mike do a stripping down of all those ballast(s)! I love watching you do that stuff! Do it as soon as you can, please! Still love watching you do your thing! 😘
I'm so sorry you were gagging! Dude Nobody works harder than You for that scrap! Nice haul on the ballists tho.
Love the new intro. Lol
👍😁👍😁👍😁👍😁👍😁
So the guy was asked to dump them, he loaded up 2 carts , rolled their heavy butts out to dump and couldn't get them out of the cart...he said forget it and ditched. Good score Mike!
Good and interesting haul. Thinking about the pups!
You remind me of a little kid rustling through the piles of wrapping paper after all the gifts have been opened on Christmas morning.
Every dumpster has a Whataburger sack or cup in it! Texas!
Skippity Do my Scavenger. LOL Thanks Mike
I would like to see that the whole process of the lights conduits or whatever .. nice 🙂 nice job Mike the scavenger
Yes me too. In time lapse of course.
Mike has a lot of work ahead of him with that mess.
I think it would be worth the effort tho.
Just a guess $175 after clean up. ???????
Same here
Mike, you'll be stripping electrical ballast for weeks. LOL I really enjoy your videos. Thanks for fun.
Am I the only one that goes back to watch older video's to see the diference in the way you do stuff now I like to see the way you use to scrap and the way you scrap now after you learnt all the easiest ways to strip stuff and what scrap you get more money for or the opposite with the ballest's.👍👍✌👊👊
thanks for the gag reel at the end
Awesome find with all those ballists. tons of wire too. They even gave you all the brass ends.
It is amazing some of the stuff people, and particularly companies, throw out. Rake it in Mike, rake it all in!
Way to go mike. Keep up the good work my friend. Please take care and stay safe. Talk to you later my friend. 👍👍👍👍❤️❤️😎😎😎
Nice haul Mike thank you for this video….until your next one. God bless
I was unhappy all day and you have changed that. Cheers
WOW. That was a load of ballasts for sure.
Liking the sound of cleaning up the ballasts
Woowww on a weekend..oowwwww
First time I've seen Mike tap out....the gagging at the end was HILARIOUS...I couldn't stop laughing...thank you so much!
Post credit scene. Just like Marvel movies.😜
Great find with all those ballasts. It ought to add up nicely. For free! Heck yes
That picture at the start😂 scrap Buddha
Привет всем ! 🤝💪👍
@2:16 I approve! Awesome! 👍🏾👍🏾👍🏾👍🏾👍🏾🇬🇧
Another successful outing with MTS. Wondering how much those ballasts will bring??? Definitely show the stripping down process. Lots of snibbets to be had. Love your videos and blessings to you, the Missus and puppies.
Hi Mike iam from London enfield I love your show I watched since 1 million subscribers. Keep on scraping 😁👍
Hey Mike, Do you want to come over and untangle my Christmas lights for me? You'll be untangling those ballest for awhile. lol I'm sure someone was taking them to the dumpster but the cart tipped ove.
Be careful and safe.
Skippity doo dah Mike has arrived!😎
Check out Tucker Upper, him & Sammi do their own hats. They have a heat machine where they put the hat on & have the patch, then they press it down & voila! They have a finished hat! I don't know if they're still doing it but go back to the year old videos & you'll find some where they show you how they do it. It's a good way to start out & maybe even keep doing it because it's cheaper than having someone else do it. Way cheaper.
Me husband wanted me to tell you that your show is the #1 show on CZcams
Thank you Mike (mts)
Man I love listening to the sweet sounds of scrappiddy do da! Haha Mike your are in my book the scrap King🤟
Thanks for another good video! Sorry you got sick!
I always look forward to your video's.. you make me smile,, over scrap no less lol

Good morning from Canada Mike. It is part of my morning routine to have my coffee and toast while watching your videos. Miss them on the days when you have nothing to post. 4:18 gotta be strong! 21:26 watch yo head, watch yo head! It would be cool if you could tell us how much you get for all those ballasts!
just like watching a Marvel movie with the good stuff at the end!
I was thinking when you were putting the ballasts in the truck that I wanted a video about scrapping those out more, and you said the same thing at the end.
Looooveeee the videos man! Scrap run!
