- 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 know that some of you may have misheard a word I said in this video but I promise you it was "frickin" sometimes my accent can mess with yo' head.
Watch yo' mouth watch yo' mouth 😂
😝 1hr. Trip
oh yeah, blame it on the accent 🤣
And if you said something else, that's your bizness!
Why don’t you scrap out the cpaps if you aren’t comfortable selling them? At the least it’s an air pump motor inside. My husband uses one of these and yes, you have to get a doctor to adjust the machine to a person’s needs. But I imagine people can buy them anywhere.
I'm not a scrapper but for some reason I'm addicted to watching Mike digging in dumpsters 😭
Mike inspired me to dumpster dive, which led to scrapping, which will become my retirement career.
Quality Content 👍👍
Hes a funny bloke 😂😂
I know huh? It's fun to watch! Easter eeeeeggs!
Same 🤗
These medical equipment dumpsters just prove and show what is wrong with our society and why Healthcare costs are out of control.
Have dates on medical equipment and you are not to use it when expired might have been stored to long
all down to law suits if any one got a infection on out of date used stuff people would be seeing left right and centre got to be even more careful now days due to covid
It is now fishtanks hose. Or was it always fish tank hose, just folks were being charged a ton for it!
Unfortunately those hoses have an expiration date, have to throw out. Should send to 3rd world countries though
@@boneadjuster that's what i was about to say.
unless it can be recycled another way i would send them overseas
In a country of wastefulness be a mike the scavenger. One man on a mission to help save the world. Thank you sir for everything you do !!
YES!! CONSERVATION!! As a conservative person. I have been recycling before it was even mainstream! It is amazing how much people throw away that can be reused, recycled, repurposed, and of course scrapped!! People IMHO have become too liberal and just throwing things away!!
Alright, alright, alright, see you dumpster diving for some scrapity scrap during lockdown here in Ireland, thank God for your videos.
Hi
Bigger stereo are not a thing of yesterday. I love my Kenwood system with 15" woofers.
We love, long vidios especially when it's cold outside. lol
Over an hour of Mike..the day just got great❤️
Sing like Beegees:
We'll be scarping yeah. We'll be scarping yeah.
Snipty snipty snip
We'll be scraping yeah
The inner cannual goes inside a trach for breathing for the patient who can not breath for themselves. The bags you found are for feeding patients who can not eat for some reason, usually using an ng tube that goes in the nose to the stomach or a button port in their abdomen. Thanks for the video, enjoyed it very much. i worked 33 years in a VA hospital so seen all of that stuff.
Hey mike, we all love the long videos. 👍👍👍❤️❤️❤️😎😎😎
Only a dumpster diver can smell good food while diving!
Hey hoss. I know people complain about leaving scrap such as the wall studs. The general rule of thumb is 90% of open top containers are took to a central location and dumped to separate the material so it doesn't end up in the landfill. So don't pay them no mind. Keep up the good work remember ( one man's trash is another's treasure) Scrap ON
You know .. I don't think I've EVER seen someone open a dumpster, take a whiff, and say " smells like mexican food -- makin' me hungry " 😝😝
Tex mex tends to have that effect on us Texans!
That construction dumpster at the beginning of the video is an example of how so much recyclable metal gets sent to the landfill along with the drywall and other trash. If it weren't for dumpster divers and scrap pickers like Mike I can only imagine how much good materials and sellable items would be in a landfill.
Hi Mike it’s really nice of you to take lots of other stuff and donate them good Dive
Thank you Mike. Had to take a mental day from work today or I would have lashed out and hurt a lot of feelings. Not that I would have cared; but I need my job. I am grateful for this hour. 💪👊
do you still work there?
@@boobam3648 yeah.
Hope you are doing better now
I'm always sad when your videos end, Mike... always a good time! 😁🥰😊
Any other dad’s cringing when Mike finds all the power adapters and power cables thrown away? They belong in the drawer.... you guys know what I mean.
I have seen a business saved by a junk power supply saved up, able to rig up a replacement to something that burned out.
I am 49 and do not think I could get in and out of those dumpsters like you do. More power to you. That is some motivation.
I been watching for years you make my day Mike your all ways happy
♥️ These long videos!! ♥️
I'm a hobby scrapper and love this dude. Copper hoarder.
Thanks mike for thinking of other people GOD BLESS YOU
It’s always fun to watch you dumpster dive & as a mom, I am glad you are thinking about your knees
I Love long videos. Thank you Mike 😊 💓
An hour watching you is better then any hour of the day.. Lol
You do you Mike and I'm their to watch you.. Thanks!!
OMG Mike I see all that CPAP Stuff, machines, hoses, bags etc and I cringe............the price of that stuff is hugely expensive for people who need CPAP equipment. I do not understand it all being dumped unless damaged or unfixable......a decent hose replacement here in Australia averages about $75 AUD
I am amazed that you haven’t damaged your truck at all !!!! You have great aim!!!!
Hello Mike, I hope you get all of the stuff and sale it to the people, it's a lots of people who are not able to buy what they need, and this will help them out.
You are a kind soul, Mike!
The blue things in the medical dumpster are probably lift slings. For people who can’t transfer.
Really enjoyed the longer episode, it gave more scavenger hunts 👍😎keep'em coming🤣
Mike is a wise man that knows pennies and nickels make dollars.
7:24 they are parts of an antenna system (radio transmitting). Metal (often copper or aluminium in a glass fibre tube). The connectors on the ends are pretty expensive, fit on the end of very expensive low loss coax cables.
Looking for this exact comment, thanks.
Yea BUDDY! WATCH YOUR HEAD! WATCH YOUR HEAD! GOTTA BE STRONG! THANK YOU MIKE!
🗣WATCH YO HEAD🤜
The cooling bags for shipping make great ice packs! I keep a few in the freezer, and put them in a Crown Royal bag when I need to apply one. Or, put them in the fridge for a gel cool pack. I guarantee you could sell those at your garage sales.
I love the long videos 😀
I normally don't comment i must say thank you mts for the hours of interesting stuff that society tosses to the side. I may not go scrap some stuff today yet down the road for some fishing money its a must. Stay blessed on your journey shaking out that cash hidden in the trash, keep picking and i will keep clicking mike the scavenger stay blessed. PEACE ✌
Great comment!
Keep it up brother thanks for a longer video I like em !!!
Those blue cloth items are for nurses and nursing assistants to wear as back support; they wear them when transferring patients from bed to wheelchair, and wheelchair to a seat. They looked new, and likely worth around $75 a piece new.
Merry Christmas Mike the Scavenger!! It's Christmas eve 2022 and I chose this video to watch with my dinner tonight!!! Love all your content. Best wishes for 2023. And as always;
Watch yo head
The dentist yikes hate the dentist, hope you get to feeling better, yay there's my song thanks for bringing it back😎🤟
Well done Jebus, thanks for getting Amber and Mama do the talking because I am like you, I would have lost it. Happy belated birthday Amber
Greetings Mike. We were waiting for you to have some fun & het some treasures. PLEASE PLEASE be CAREFUL. GOD BLESS you always. Be safe,healthy &blessed always family
I loved the long videos you sure did fill Dotty up always an adventure with you Mike thanks for that 🤩😎🤟
Hey mike, just want you to know how enjoyable it is to watch your videos. Just found them recently, love dumpster diving, getting too old to do it though so I find you really fun! Keep up the good work! Love from Alberta🇨🇦🥰👍
This house loves watching you.
watching your video from brazil mike love your videos...
Mike, the larger blue slings are for lifting patients, they are used with a cherry picker. The smaller ones , with the Velcro are personal restraints. They help individuals stay in wheel chairs. Also looked like there were some air mattress in there.
A GREAT night watching you hard at work again Mike, thank you :)
Here we go again! Watching Mike go at it. And he's good at it. What we gonna find in here? Man oh man, you did get after it 2day Mr. Mike Man. Thanks for the nice long video. Seems like you could find some use for that VERY LONG ROLL of strapping. Sure looks useable/useful. Anyway, once again a cool trip through the old Urban Jungle. Thanks for dragging us all along. Love it every time. Later Babe . . . Hey, no fair. When I added to my comment my heart from Mike disappeared. That makes me sad. Please put it back. PLEASE! ! ! ! !
Our little Dottie's a grown-up truck now😁
Great video Mike my man! You work hard for our entertainment and I thank you.
What a surprise ! Enjoyed the video. It was almost like a scrapity scrap movie!! ❤❤❤😊
Mike, I really like watching your videos. I am having to go back a couple of years to see you dumpster diving. You need to make more videos.
Long video of MTS , brilliant ,thanks Mike ✌️
I just's loves you, you make me have a happy day in this bad times right now. Keep up the fun stuff!!
I love this channel - I love the way Mike knows what wires and metals are at the blink of an eye. Great videos. Please keep them coming x
U are one good SCRAPPER, likes ur style, love watching ur video, I'm a SCRAPPER too. For 45 years and still doing it. Best job ever.
Thank you for the longest video you have done. I love it I wish they were all this long. Keep up the good work and stay safe out there!!!
I heard somebody say we can’t get too deep up in here. 😏. Get it Mike!!!
Always like watching you Mike. The stuff you find and take home is amazing. Can't believe that they throw that stuff out. Good haul the time. All the wires and lights and the scrapity scrap.
Almost missed this since I have the Mike the Scavenger videos playing all day in the background. Lol. Great video! I know the longer videos are harder to edit, it came out amazing! Be safe out there 👍
Horizontal file cabinets....yes...so many teachers would love a lot of you find and students too..
I watch Mike most days, I like to skip dive in liverpool uk. One man's trash is another man's treasure 👍
Imagine having a smoke break out the back door of your place of employment hearing this dude talking to all the dumpsters, and everything he finds. Punching boxes and stuff
Hoss another mentioned note the wheel chair foot rests are good for use on tree stands for hunting I found a bunch in a dumpster at a supply store and reverse then and screwed them to the tree and it works great.
I think it's this video that got me hooked 😊 totally missed the truck (Dottie). Nice, but not because you could have hurt dottie 😮
I love pens 🖊!!! At your yard sale you can give them out in little bundles.
That Coach box he threw away is worth $9. Name brand boxes sell on eBay or can be used to resell expensive items. Coach and Jimmy C are worth a few bucks.
Quicksand...dumpster edition! Watch yo head! Lol 😂
I really enjoy the longer videos Mike. I been pickin up scrap for as long as I've been driving. Im pushin 50 amd still love finding things people throw away. It just a lot of fun seeing u get out and go through dumpsters finding things. Lookin forward to the next video. Stay safe 💯💵💰💵💰💵.
it is crazy how much medical stuff gets thrown away after ins companies pay exorbitant prices. my gf has been dealing with terminal cancer and we have boxes of supplies that never got used along with unused pumps etc...so much waste
The nail looking things with the square pads? The backing peels off the pad, and the nail sticks onto A/C ductwork, then insulation is stabbed onto the nails and a square (sometimes round) piece of tin is pushed onto the nail to hold the insulation on. Then the leftover nail end is clipped off. Visit an A/C shop to see it in action. Pretty cool!
Mike you can sell them foot rests off weel chairs advertise them
LOL - I have one of those stud finders at 34:46. But sometimes I still end up putting a line of holes in the wall 😂
I was waiting for the next video!!! Let's get it!
I like the comment about field dressing the lights, made me smile
Great finds. Enjoyed your video. God bless you and be safe
That is some seriously waste of plastics and 💰really long video love it .
Hello Mike, i really do love watching you in the garbage bin , you really know how to find good stuff, we used to have garbage bins but people kept throwing dead animals and a lots of trees and stuff in there and they told the people to stop or they would pick up the bins but they didn't and they picked them all up, you are doing great.
Awesome!! Love the long video!
"Dumpster's seen some better days, haven't we all?!"
⭐ Yes, we have, Mike!
🤔 That's all too true!!!!!
Greetings Mike. Maybe just a thought for homeless people or shelters, those bags. You did amazing Mike. GOD BLESS you always. Be safe,healthy &blessed always family
i love long video like this!!! happy hump day mike
Best part is when you be deep diving in dem dumpsters. Thats so good. ASMR Baby wooouuuuuuu!!!!!!!
Hope all went well at the dentist! Gotta be strong! Thanks!💪✌🏻
What a treat 👍🇬🇧
Those nail things remind me of Caltrops. Caltrops are the oldest known form of passive trapping/defense made by man. If you take two U or V-shaped pieces of wire, sharpen the ends and twist them together in the middle, you have replicated that ancient, and more importantly, modern tool for catching FOOLS!
Mike do a video about micro scrapping that big pole with brass, copper and aluminum
You work hard for the money. Bless you
And you work your a$$ off for it. More than most guys would do. And you are so much fun to watch.
My husband thinks the dealership is gonna make some money when the sell Dottie..after all she is a celebrity!😁 Nice new truck! Comfort & reliability are necessary for a scrapper..even got room for the wife & pups! The first class seating for keeping fragile finds safe is a plus. Enjoy it no matter what you use it for you worked hard to get it..
It does need a name..it's a good looking scrap hauler could have a name like "STEEL" or "YARD DAWG"😁😆 Congratulations!
Great an hour to chill watching Mike do his thing lol 🇬🇧👍👍👍
The blue things in the dumpster are slings for transporrting patients from bed to chair when they are unable to help.
And $$$$
This was for me!!! Thank you!!!!!
I would so love to buy some of those bags. You make me want to move to Texas lol
The number 1 scrapper in the USA
Oh those old stereos were the best! Played the best sounds!
Hey Mike..Keep on finding that scrap..Stay safe out there..
