- 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.

You continuing to grab wires as the security is coming for you was the funniest thing I've seen in a while.
Lol Mike..... ballast in a trolley (cart) .... you walking backwards and forwards!!!!! Take the trolley to the van ....... !!!!
I love how you were saying, "yes, ok, I gotcha, yea, ok" as she was yelling at you over the loud speaker 😁😀👍😅
😄😄😄
Yeah Mike was so saying yeah I hear ya and still trying to scramble all the scrap he can
Hahaha Mike got caught 🤣
Might as well get all u can. They already know hes in there.
I'm glad security or cops didn't run off the divers that found the newborn tossed in a dumpster in a black garbage bag recently.
That is so sad rest in peace baby and I hope your parents get caught good Lord will take care of you ❤️❤️❤️
If youre talking about the same video I saw. The baby was still alive.
The baby in New Mexico? I believe it was in Roswell. I love in Albuquerque New Mexico that was horrible the mom did that! After they caught her she asked if she could keep the baby!! How awful
So dumb
@@ellen65265 on
Watching you walk backwards and forwards with them ballasts made me laugh you could have wheeled it over to the truck 🤣🤣
I was thinking the sae thing....so funny
Well we all know Mike works harder not smarter 😂
Exactly!!
How very dare they! Don’t they know who you are! 😂
Thanks for sharing with us your antics.
Much love from the UK. ❤️❤️❤️
Hey Mikey the memorial was HILARIOUS for the ripped jeans. 🙀🤣🤣🤣
thanks for all the videos you have shared with us keep em coming.😂😂😂
RIP RAT (mouse).
Mike your enthusiasm and wit is contagious. You deserve all your rewards.
We may come here for the treasure hunt but we stay for you sense of humor!
Next time you come across the cart full of ballasts leave a note in the bottom of it, "Thank you signed Mike the scavenger "
Always find it sad how in this age of recycling how little actually gets recycled that could be recycled easily. People are strange when it comes to someone making money from their trash, even though the dumpster companies are making $ off it. And the less that is in the bin the more money the company saves in bin fees.
It's a good thing Mike is an honest guy. He would make a very loud cat burglar.
He is the Billy Mays of dumpster diving.
😂😂🤣🤣🤣
Lol! You are right!
Loved the memorial for your jeans Mike. RIP🌈
Hahah I know, I wept 😅👍😭
Move cart next to Dotty🤣
One company puts out ballast-in-a-basket to make sure it gets recycled, the next kicks up a fuss when do their recycling for them. Funny old world.
Get a little breezy in the end?!😂
Reduce, Recycle, Reuse.... saving the planet one piece at a time. Great Job
The camera systems they're installing now can differentiate between random motion from the wind blowing stuff around and there actually being a person behind their building and only notify them to check the cameras when there's a person or if there's a vehicle that stopped. So they don't even have to pay any attention to the cameras, they just do other stuff until they get a notification. Still if they're going to be so strict on keeping people out of the dumpsters they should start doing some recycling of their own. If they didn't put good scrap in there, nobody would be in the dumpster in the first place.
Perfectly Put!
Hold up a big sign in front of the camera that says “At least I’m recycling your trash! Shame on you!!”
Or maybe something more polite. Idk 🤷🏼♂️😄
@@MikeTheScavenger legit should start getting bins and start making your own scrap metal pick up spots its ridicules how many want to waste money
Drop the tailgate. Back the shopping cart with the handle towards the tail. Lift the front of the cart tipping the the load into the truck. Close tail gate and drive away. You're welcome ;)
No lie just binged on your channel for a day and a half. Great content Mike 👌
This was a “scrap-tastic” video, your so funny thanks for the laughs, I enjoyed watching! 😂😆
LOVE LOVE LOVE your videos. Your sense of humor 'Why you stabbin' me Bro?' has cost me multiple hours of cleaning coffee off my computer screen & keyboard. Lol You are a scream! Dedicated follower,
Mike The Scrapper and Paul the Scrap & Pallet Man are my two favorite scrappers. Keeping that crap out of the landfill! Love your videos! Great blizzard fare!
@Thubprint for our Northern Friends
I stopped watching scrap and pallet man when he stole that bike laying in someones yard that was just a little too close to the road. Scrapping by a garbage can is one thing but, to drive by and pick up a really nice bike in someones yard is totally different.
@@flap9995 I must have missed that episode. He has been cautious of bikes not at the curb on episodes I've watched. I share your feelings about that. MTS always asks if he can take the scrap if the owner is out.
The amount of scrap you find is amazing, great job, as always 👍👍👍😃
RIP jeans. You gave your life for us.... I will be forever grateful.
Ha ha! Can't figure out why you didn't pull the shopping cart with the ballasts closer to Dotty so you didn't have to keep walking back and forth 😂😂😂
What a nice surprise on a cold Saturday morning! Thanks so much for sharing 💜
That picture of your torn jeans is hilarious!!!!! with the cardinal? OMG
The dumpsters that keep on giving. Great job. Love it love it.!!!!!! Stay off the ice. Lol
"Hey you in the white truck, leave the dumpster" " OK give me a minute" grabs wires and stuff " I said to leave the area" OK then grabs more wire, LOL. King Mike you get the goods even when someone is watching and telling you to leave. Don't get in trouble, stay out of jail and stay in the dumpsters, yes.🤣🤣🛻🥾🥾👖Rest in peace Jeans.
So funny
“Dumpster Carnage trying to kill me mann!” 😂😂
😂 Nearly wet myself laughing at your reaction to the dead rat🤣🤣🤣
You said Ice...twice...so I thought...Ice Ice baby 😆😅🤣😂
(Mike talking to obnoxious plastic wrap stuck to big piece of scrap) "...come back inside... where it's warm..." LMAO! Your narrative is a hoot.
ICE! You’re out of your element man! 😮
Run Mikey Run !!!! I hear the chopper in the air !! Mike, I worked at a security place that did 24 hr monitoring, I worked graveyard shift for a long time. We had all the cameras, etc. I never messed with anyone who did honest scrapping. They took care of me & vise versa, ( I had yard clean up duty in the mornings ). PS. The mouse was a bonus, no charge !
That water heater tray you found around 20:35 you could use on the table under your scrap when you are taking things apart. Saves time on chasing screws.
RIP jeans😂. I lost it! You slayed it and those jeans.
Love the way you talked back to them all the while grabbing the wires...lol
The memorial for your jeans was great!!
RIP Jeans. 🕯 😂😂😂😂
Mike I just love when you hit you head you say “wach your head ohh”
I sorry for your loss. So sad. Fly high jeans. 14years old so young. 😂
I liked the Betty White with the dudes!😄
Good to see the weather didn't keep you down!
Where are all these ballast coming from - I wish people were leaving carts around for me full of ballast. Wowza! Happy Hunting.
They're definitely changing out florescent tubes for LED tubes. If you get the good kind you completely bypass the ballasts and just wire the 120 or 277 volt supply directly to the bulb holders. We did a bunch of ours at work but we left the ballasts in the fixtures.
@Nacho Stuff The dumpster fairy. Mike has his own fairy godmother, leaving him ballasts and hot water heaters. 🙂
@@dianna3157 Seriously - he must have been a good boy this year.
Mike during WWII I had a cousin who owned a scrap yard and he did very well. Watching you do your scrapping reminds me of what he loved to do. One piece of scrap at a time.
Your bound n determined to hit that lid .🤣🤣🤣
🤣🤣🤣 RIP to the jeans. Hilarious.
My Grandson received his merch today and loves it! Thanks for taking us along!
Pretty cool of them to clean those all up for you! Shame all the wires are gone!
Mike, I'm sorry for your loss. They served you well and you two were a good fit. 🙂👖 💙🧦🐼
Lmao @ the rest in peace jeans. Great video. Funny as hell.
Why didn't you roll the basket closer to doster?
Yes mate I was laughing my head off
If he did roll the trolly closer the video would be a lot shorter and we all will complain about that.
Pull the buggy to your truck to get the goods, save on trips. Work smarter, not harder, lol.🤣
Midnight snack,lol.🐎✌️🍺
Love the rip to the jeans at the end. Classic, Mike.
The memorial for the pants. 😆 😆 thanks for that.
Bro! Blow out in the pants...NO BUENO! Getting caught in an epic dumpster...😮. You played it 😎. Great dive! #ScrappityScrap #MTSKingofScavengers #WatchYoHead #GottaBeStrong
Boi u had me laughing 🤣🤣🤣🤣with the dead rat 🐀 🤣🤣🤣🤣
Miles of ballists and wires... Very cool literally... Ice... Ok... Keeping the planet green!!!
Lol when you picked up the ceiling grid,
“It’s for my fans” 😂
Man if you’ll grab a little snibbit of cat wire, then grabbing grid should be a no brainer. Moneys money
You don’t have to apologize for hitting the same dumpsters if you’re making money and others don’t there’s damn him twice a day. Lol
Wow and Wow again - ALL those Ballasts ! The Ballast God was very kind to You - ha ! Great Score on all the Wires and a Mini Me Water Heater - You had a Productive Night with a Scary Voice and Air Conditioned Jeans ! Cheers from Australia and Such !!!!
YOU THE HARDEST WORKING HUMAN THAT I KNOW OF!!! 🎉
The company that ran you out of their dumpster, have you ever tried asking permission to remove recyclables, might be worth a shot?
Sorry about the pants! 🤣
Go back to that business in morning, that yelled at you. Ask for the owner or boss you'd like to talk to him about a business proposal. Tell him you would scrap the metal from their trashes at a certain time, and it would help both parties. He can add a lot more to the trash while you salvage what you can. Also inform him that their are no more new landfills to open in America and as the landfills fill up, prices for waste disposal goes up.
Good job saving those recyclables from going into the trash.
I defend from the recycling going in the trash on a daily basis at work as well.
I love what you do. Keep it up.
Buenos días.
Heyyy Mike, otro día otro score, keep haciendo tu trabajo con ese entusiasmo que te caracteriza.
Saludos y que tengas un bonito fin de semana.
rest in peace to jeans 😂😂😂
Hi there guys. I like watching you all the way from Cape Town South Africa
Hey Mike, I enjoy watching you have fun nightly. Small correction on the Fan Blade metal. It’s Zinc Diecast ,not Cast Aluminum. I’m 25 years in the scrap game and still loving it. I just work on the other side. Buying it.
My yard calls it pot metal. And won't buy it.
@@beardedscrapper538 That's weird, most yards will buy it at around the same price as aluminum.
Another great video, thanks Mike. I'd like to see that water heater rat made into a t-shirt lol! That was hilarious you finding that rat at the end. Keep doing what you do brother. ✌️
Stay warm and safe👍
Too funny 😁 😂 you kept on taking the wire out. I would have done the same. They would have taken a long to get out there, so I would push it to the limit.
Haha! Thanks Mike. Great episode!
As much as you save them in weight you'd think that they would be happy for you to get the stuff hang in there brother five stars and two thumbs up
That size dumpster is flat fee usually emptied once a week sometimes every other week depending on the service plan.
@@jayr9810 I tried explaining that to someone before, basically the same as your household pickup. Now the open tops...that's a different story. I used to work for a roll-off (dumpster rental) company, and those are all about the weight and time needed. 🙂
Issue starts Joe when some one gets killed or injured and the company will get prosecuted for various health and safety faults, If it were my company i would ensure all the scrap is left for a few days by the side of skip with a severe warning not to climb in to it, or possible just lock it
Damn, you been hittin' the dumpster hooch? I haven't seen you stumble that much ever.
As far as the security goes, you could try stopping by their security shack/office before hand and chatting them up a little. If you put a personality and reason to that image they see in the camara, they might just let you slide.
RIP Jeans get it? RIP😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
Haha! Busted. I just love how you told her, ok just a minute. LOL RIP jeans…..They served you well for 14 years??? Wow!! and the dead rat!!! Yuk!! Guess we know why that water heater quit working. LOL
Could be used as an ad for Tetanus Shots! ;)
How many people duck when he says Duck !!! Or Watch Your Head !!!??? That rusty piece of scrap reminded me of a game we used to play. We would make up names of books and who they were written by...in this case, “Rusty bed springs by I.P. Nightly”. Lol lol. Love ya ♥️♥️🌈🌈🇨🇦
Straight up Mike, you'll have to make the dead mouse warning t-shirt now. It's not safe to sleep under water heaters.
Whats up mikie mike gettin that scrappy scrap I see ,holla ! Holla makin them dollas 👍
Thanks for the energy and enjoyable content 👍
Love how you did the ending. Hope you get a nice paycheck for that load. You stay safe out there Mike see ya on the next video.
Mike I love you because of your character and hard work. I think if you went to that company during the day and ask them of you can grab the scrap they might just say yes. Good luck and yes I know you work a full time job. Maybe on your way home or on lunch. You can try calling them but seeing them eye to eye and passionate you are about recycling ♻️.
Oh lawdy....RIP Jeans! I laughed so hard I scared my dog.
Mike the All-Weather Scavenger rocks!
I’d say just go back whenever you want to that place, you’ll get everything within a few minutes so I doubt you’d ever really get busted. No need to rush for a couple of jerks that don’t have anything better to do.
Woo Hoo another dive, I love it :)
WOW. A great Mighty Mike video. When you were in the big open top with the ice……. I was thinking of that song Ice Baby Ice.
Did you take your vermin home with you for dinner? Eeewwwwwwww. Lol
Stay safe and God Bless
if you save the ceiling fan blades for your annual yard sales, there are crafters who make several things from them. Like wall art dragonflies. They resell for a bunch when they get a source for raw supplies.
that dead mouse was so random🤣😂
Scrap scrap scrap blesses mike
should take a portable grinder with you.and your interaction with the security was hilarious.
“I hear you, just give me a second”! Boy that gave me a laugh! 😂. ✌🏼❤️
Lol! They callin the law on ya Mike!
Mike.. Do a whole video of "Watch Yo Head" snips... I laugh every time you hit your head and say it
Just keep being you !!!
Mike, your finds are always worth a smile, and then some.
Try sticking a "Thank You" note to that invisible benevolent 'friend' who kept ballasts for you!
