  • 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'm happy that there are those that's willing to do the grungy work of retrieving that Cash from the the trash and in the process provide a form of entertainment for others. May there be an amazing find in your scrap finding future, and thanks 👍 for bringing us along for the adventure. Y'all let's think positive vibes for the Scavenger's scrap future! And may his business continue to grow and grow 💥💥💥💥💥💥💥💥👏😜💯

      Julia, that is a beautiful name. I hope things get better for you and you find happiness and your personality changes to reflect such a beautiful name. I'm sad for you that it has gotten so bad that you think the only way to make yourself feel better is to say such negative and hurtful things to strangers who did nothing to warrant such hostility. I hope you discover that wonderful feeling when you do the exact opposite and say nice and uplifting things to someone. I challenge you to for one day only say nice things and see how it feels. It is such a better feeling and the rewards are amazing. Just think if you said 5 nice things to 5 people who might be having a shitty day and make them feel good then they are nice to 5 people and so on. Nothing good comes from hurtful words. Think about it and try it, it's the best experience you will ever have. And I am pretty sure Mike does care about each and every one of us. He seems like that kind of guy. Take care and have fun spreading positive words.

And the scrap and pallet man to make money and keep things out of the landfill. I just turned in a load with multiple things and got near $100. Small sorting and some extra time definitely pays off.

    Those strap tensioners are nice, I use one for work when we need to ship a few smaller boxes, we strap them all together to save using a larger box. Just need a crimping tool for the steel plates that lock the straps together. I had gotten one of the cheap Chinese scrap kits that had belt buckle type locks but those were a pain to tighten and lock in so I been using the scrap from that kit and one of those tensioners so it works a lot better and faster to get the strap tightened and locked in.
