- 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.

Dude! That Gong is the Bomb 🎶🎵 🥁
You need to write a book. "My life from inside the dumpster. Lol. Thank you for taking us along.
I'd read it. Buy it 👍👍
It always brings joy to my heart to see somebody happy at what they do
Wife: “What did you do all day?” Him: “I indiscriminately dove through numerous dumpsters throughout the town. BTW, I brought home Chinese.”
Thanks for taking us along today ! You are appreciated!!!
Slow down Mike we will watch no matter what! Thank the for sharing your life with us! ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️👍🏼👏🏼🍀🇺🇸
Another great day brother. Be you and continue to be you we all love it
"...there's a fart fan..." LOL!!!!!!! love the running inventory
Thanks for sharing your time with us Mike. ❤️💙
"Jason's deli bag full of scraaaaap" 😁 haha made me laugh.
Those blue plastic boxes would have made great art boxes for kids 💙
Plus, Belinda, it would have kept them out of the landfill...but Mike has never said that that is one of his goals. Some do, some don't.
@@conservativevicki7612 all comes down to how much space some people have to store the stuff they find. Mike doesn't have the storage capacity to keep all those boxes to sell or to find a place for them to be donated to.
I totally would have taken all of those blue boxes. Would donate them to a school or #repurposeproject to keep out of landfill.
vote red save America
@@gallardo360 Vote red, and we'll bleed red. Blue = true.
I love it when you show the blown up pictures of the heavy wire w the casings around it. I've been grabbing wires on trash day, while walking my dog (for my son, to strip and recycle.)
Brings back memories of my younger days dumpster diving. It’s amazing the good stuff companies, and even people, throw out. The Christmas light find was my favorite scene here.
Another hot Houston weekend and @MTS is out hustling, saving our landfills one snibbet at a time. And such!
This dude has mad energy
I'm glad it's not just me that talks to you during the videos! 😁😂🙏❤
Christmas lights 👍 definitely y'all Mike scrappy scrappy y'all ❤️👍
legend right here, stay awesome Mike
The thick cushion you trod on while you talked about the resmed parts, is a very dense, supportive foam. It’s particularly useful for people in wheelchairs to reduce the risk of bedsores, etc. Might be useful for some local charities- not for posting as they are quite heavy!
I understand what you’re saying but seat cushions are really not good for donating as they may have been urinated on or the other. Although they’re supposed to be water proof not always so.
@@deedeejohnson3452 my wheelchair cushion costs close to $800 id take a donated one that been pissed on any day ) can be washed
ANYthing that is bought has someone else’s DNA on it and there are those who will donate without cleaning stuff up- just to get rid of it and have less responsibility for it
I SAW THAT TOO...YUP...BEING ON DISABILITY MYSELF...I COULD USE THAT BAD BOY...
I been looking for some of that dense foam to make a booster cushion for my mom
Another Waterworld reference goes unnoticed... LOL
I noticed
This guy deservers a medal for services to the environment, the amount of serviceable stuff that is thrown away I phenomenal
Thanks for keeping me entertained while in Hospital in Leeds England Mike.
That gong is an awesome find!
I love guys like this---just think of all the things that are not going to a landfill because of him, to say nothing about the fact that he's recycling stuff that is easily converted into useful items.
So many people throw out everything. Copper tubes, wire, stainless and everything metal. The landfill is a good place to go. Not many places complain unless make a mess.
Land fill full of itchy dog hair now thou
I think they use magnets at landfill sites to remove all the metal for recycle anyway, I could be very wrong though.
That was a lot of lights! I can’t wait to hear about your surprise!! ❤️
Watching for a while now and my favorite Mikeism is scrappity scrap scrap.
Had a strong urge to take a shower after watching this vid.
All about being happy while you do your work, whatever it is.
Everything about this is good.
Allways look forward every day you're videos are always awesome thank you keep up the good work
You could store stuff in the fridge. Lay it on its back in your truck and it’s perfect for storing wires, etc. Great you do this! ♻️
Mike you the man!!!! GET -R - DONE.....
Hear ya talking about brass mike but you never take the valves off the tops of the green and pink tanks ifin you didn't know there's a small brass valve on top of every one of them
They may still have gas in them so i guess he dont want the hassle of removing them and letting out the content
@@MrRattymiller they are Freon cans if in they make a hissing sound when you turn them on you don't take them easy peasy
Then he may just like to leave a little for the next man i guess
I have to address something funny to me. Mike when you blow wind on your way to a dumpster we can hear you. And because I’m an old lady going on 12 I crack up out loud. I love your videos.
Hi mike. Great going my friend. Please take care of yourself and your family. Have a great day. 👍👍👍
Love your dives Mike!😍
Hi Mike love your videos I watch all the time
Thank you Mike you brought back some good memories since my stroke I can't do that no more I would only advise you to get a pair of Carhartt pants
Lots of fun Mike! That blue cable at 13:47 looks like the power cable for a pool robot.
Hubby is addicted to your videos…talks to you all the time while you’re picking and prodding through stuff lol! I sat with him for this one and he stopped the video near the beginning to comment on your bed-head hair (seen on your shadow). Thx for keeping him interested AND entertained!
Love from Az! ❤️
Hello also from AZ.
I think I see a camera on his head.
AZ IN THA HOUSE !!
Northern AZ here!
Nice find on the Christmas lights another fun night in the dumdsters can't wait for the next one
I seriously need to follow behind you. You leave so many crafting materials!
gee wizz you come across some really cool stuff. as a crafter i see so many things i could use , that you leave behind, but i love watching you dumpster dive.
You are Amazing Mike, love watching your videos!!!
Thanks!
Don’t you be ringing her bell when you get home though - another great vid! I do second that comment about the blue boxes being good for a school or something, being married to an ex teacher (50 years yesterday) they would love stuff like that.
Homeless man's going to have a buffet tonight at that dumpster!
Have you ever thought about putting a liftgate on the back, so you struggle as hard to put heavy items in the back🤔
Dude, I really respect your work ethic! You are an animal!!!!. Respect to you sir.!
This guy hops into the cleanest dumpsters I have ever seen
After the blue boxes dumpster, the next dumpster had some medical supplies. You were standing on a special wheelchair cushion called a Roho. New, they are around $400, used is $200-300. Be on the lookout…
You can sell all them blue boxes online, people use them for medical kits and gun storage.
Would love to have those blue plastic cases.
Another fun scrap vlog.
Great Saturday afternoon entertainment
Scrap AND a Free Lunch!! Score! 🤣
Brilliant Dumpster Diving and to finish it off ****ITS A GONG**** ! Many Cheers from us in Australia !!!!
We got us a new Snip it
Fun as always. 👍👍👍💯
I was expecting the end of the video to have a loud Gong sound!
I would have stopped and grabbed that gong!! As always Mike great video!!
Glad to see a clean way to scrap metal. Where I’m from you can follow the scrap people around town by the mess they leave around the dumpsters
Back in the late 1980s me and my buddies use to dumpster dive in 7-11 dumpsters and get all the trashed lottery tickets. We'd go through them to find winners that people that were losers.
We found a lot. Especially with a tik tac toe game. We made really good money
Nice haul Mike!👍👏👏👏
Nice Haul Mike
LOVE THIS CHANNEL I SPENT YEARS DIVING LOTS OF GOOD STUFF FOUND
Great scraps 😎
Whoever did the ending Mike mix really did a get job!
I used to dumpster dive on Ft. Campbell and an apartment complex in Hopkinsville Kentucky where soldiers lived. The army throws away very expensive trash.
Alrighty Mike another great video. Not that much like normally but every bit counts. Keep up the great work. Keep the videos coming they make my day. Stay safe jumping in those dumpsters and lifting the big stuff. Hope you and your wife and pups have a great weekend. 👍
It’s The Gong Show with your host Mike the Scavenger!
My favorite part was how the truck wasn't even stopped yet and he's already halfway out the door! :)
Those blue cases would have been great for kids to keep art supplies and other small toys in.
Those boxes you find are worth a couple dollars a piece.
😀❤❤❤❤ I agree with Paul, it is the bomb :)
bravo mike
I swear I could run a whole eBay store off what he finds in these dumpsters lol 👍
You could and we could in the alleys by my house also but then I would need a second guy or another me to do the eBay electronic ad packaging post office all that stuff I'm just good at dumpster diving but I have had to stop because my house is too filled up and that's the same story I tell my stuff I'm going to put it on eBay or Craigslist or go to a small shop and sell it all in just collecting gas I wish I would have left it in the alley sometimes because I can't find a buyer but I'm a speaker junkie so I collect speakers thank you
i don't ebay would like it when someone is activly selling stolen goods
@@marktyler2396 they call it OPP. Other people's property,, it's a racial thing
@@marktyler2396 th are you talking about
@@davidoconnor393 it's also called steeling by finding
The Gong show was the best
Man, i was on the road yesterday. And saw lots of metal scraps on the roadside, in a particular neighborhood. You know that i starting saying, " Look scrappy scraps, my scavengers....
Like my bro Mike....
Great channel my friend. Nico from Trinidad and Tobago.
Great job on all that brass!
@MTS
Mike, the blue "hose" at 13:45 is a power cable for a semi trailer. It goes between the cab and trailer. Should be good copper in it.
Me, personally, I would have kept a few of the blue cases, as long as there was nice foam inside. I worked for an oil and gas company, on the assembly side. There was one tool, that had sensitive equipment inside, and came in black cases such as the blue ones in your video. Found out, they just threw them away. I stockpiled probably 30 of them and gave them to friends, that could use them for tools, firearms, etc. Really nicest cases.
Mike Dont think you can buy a toilet seat for less than £10 in the UK
If they are new in box id list & try sell them
Might be worth sitting on :)
🤣
The commentry is the best " ooh theres a snowman in here yo, snowman "
One man's scrap is another man's treasure 🇬🇧👍
When you find wheel chairs, canes, crutches, etc., if it's in good usable condition, you can take them to your local American Legion, VVA, or VFW. More times than not, they know a disabled Veteran who could use them.
this is what I love about dumpster diving, you never know what you will find plus it helps the environment! another great dive.... inspired me to go out there and dive and film lol thanks
