- 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. Be sure to stay subscribed to stay up to date with my latest expeditions, y'all!
I like the way you interact with people. Your polite and respectful. We need more people like you. Be safe
Whenever Mike wears those gloves, I get the song "All I Need Is a Miracle" stuck in my head.
I noticed that every lawn was mowed and edged. So nice to see when you drive around.
Another excellent curbside scrapping video. Thanks👍👍
Welll, GOOD MORNING SCAVENGERS! Scrappity Scrap! Good curbside scavenging! Can't Wait for the scrao run! 💰💲❤
It is amazing to me what people throw away. A couple of those washers didn't look that old. One man's trash is another man's dollars! 😉 Stay safe and GOD bless
I bought one of your shirts because you remind me of my brother who passed away in 1999. He used to do the same thing you are doing and you talk like he used to. He was a funny guy. I miss him. On the plus part, you are the only scrapper I watch and have bought merch from. Thanks for being you.
what I like about Mike is quickly done well
Those gosh darn cord cutters 🤣
Saving our environment and space in the landfills one dumpster at a time… and curbside scavenging looks like fun!
You have to love it when people are home and hand you more stuff! When you're folding the tailgate down, it's a good day of scrapping.
Mike your so funny. You see a bed frame , pull out the hatchet and go to wacking 😂.. Got to love it. God bless. I needed this tonight. ..
Another fun adventure with the Scavenger, riding shot gun. Thanks for taking me along for the fun of finding lots of good stuff. Later.
Curbside scavenging I love it Mike 😀
Great deflection on the aluminium windows 😁 Its super nice when people wanna give you more stuff, but sometimes a fella just wants to keep hunting 👌
HI Mike thank you for producing another great great curbside treasure and scrap video. Dotty has been filling up very very fast . we have great great luck with finding boxes bags totes of treasures on the curb when we go scrapping we bring them home and go thru them very carefully keep what we want throw away the trash recycle and donate and resell and people that buy stuff we make out better then the scrap payout prices another persons trash another persons treasures .
Best packaging job ever
It'll be worth it to you to get inside the housing of any dryer you find curbside. It may not be raining money like that one you got, but every dryer I've ever worked on has coins and other goodies inside of it. I've found coins, keys, folding money, somebody's ID card, all sorts of stuff inside of dryers.
Mike I love that you have become so organized in loading !!
Mike, you are such a refreshing take on the after life of trash. I hope you know how many people you have made change their minds about recycling, reusing, and recrafting everyday items. You rock! Cannot get enough of your videos. Wish I could do a ride along. I would be the envy of all!! Be safe. And go get it!
You need some help with that? No I got it. Strongman Mike!!💪
looks like dottie had a smile on her with all that great scrap great video go mike
I love the interactions that come with curbside scavenging., Mike. Greetings from Holland.
Hi Mike, you should try checking out every washer & dryer to see if they work. Just plug them in on the truck. See if the cycles work, buttons, etc. On the dryers same thing. My husband use to pick them up and check them. One house threw away what looked like a brand new, expensive washer or dryer, I don't remember which. He looked at it, plugged it up. Checked the hose or something like that. The only thing wrong was a sock got sucked up into something. He pulled it out & sold it in a couple of days for a few hundred. It beats scrapping them. I know most might not work but a lot of people just throw them out because they want to upgrade or they don't have a clue what to look for. You are mechanically inclined so I know you would figure it out real fast. Nowadays it's cheaper to buy a new one than to pay to have them fixed. It's a throwaway world. Sad but true.
The one he found had the cord cut so
The last one he found was a dryer and had the cord.
@@lukelegg9915 Most washer and dryers have removable cords and they are cheap replacements at the store.
So true not everything is trash sometimes I cut cords if I need a plug but always leave enough cord if someone wants to put one on
I take mine to a repair shop near the scrap yard, they give me twice scrap price, they fix and sell or strip and sell parts on eBay. Win win for everyone.
I'm a gold prospector and I've got more of a scrap fever than a gold fever! It's all treasure. Need more regular videos😂👍💚💛❤
The Cry Baby is a "Wah Wah" pedal. Even in that shape, they can be fixed, you could sell it as is for $25, fix it & $50-$75 (maybe a little more). Some one will buy it for $25 & fix it themselves.
Yes, Wah wah wah goes the guitar, great sound.
yep! i had one, when i saw Hendrix use one i was sold lol, playing it well needed i bit of co- ordination, fond memories.
About to type the same thing. If it was an original....
Hendrix baby
When your local scrapper is outside welding an ax, you know he means business, so it's best to stay inside.
That Samsung dryer has good resale and usually the heating element or one of 3 simple switches is the culprit. 15-20$ fix
Washing machines are like rabbits start with one and they just keep coming.
It's always satisfying to watch your efforts recycling things that so many people just can't find the time to do it. Granted, you do it in bulk, and that is a factor. High 5 to you!
It was your lucky day today great job Mike🇵🇷👍
Great video, looking forward to the scrap run next!
Oh a late episode :)
Good night and sweet scrapping dreams 🙂
You should *acquire* a mini uhaul trailer. Be great for the smalls n mediums
@@shawbros ha ha yes. The spell thing on my phone didn't work.
That is literally the only thing I miss about living in a big city that's the neighborhood clean up and all the scrap in a small desert town we don't have that
Yo mike good to hear ya ok let’s do some cubside scraping Dottie getting hungry she needs filling up another shoutout for those great people looking out for mike and 👍👍👍4 mike regards to all ✊❤️
Another great truck load.
Mike so many good garage sale items.
Best Scrapper on the interweb lol. For sure best personality.
I've watched quite a few divers and scrappers, I appreciate your positive and energetic attitude that makes it all fun. Prolly why you have so many subscribers including me. So far you're the only scrapper I watch regularly. Keep on keeping on bro.
Agree!
Me too I really enjoy your videos
Wow! You move so fast, before you know it gone! 😜 Love it, see ya next time.
Love your videos and great attitude and funny ass one liners. Hey invest in a Milwaukee portaban. I swear it'll be the best till you will own for what you do. You can easily cut up awkward pieces like chairs and other stuff that are too bulky to load. It'll cut it up to be manageable is seconds. I do ornamental iron and it's the best investment I made. I wish I could give you all my scrap metal. I have tons of it. I remove old solid iron gates and railings and replace it with new iron.
Good Night Mike The Scavenger
Awesome score thankyou for sharing
You done good again. Glad for you mike.
Gettn r done nice haul Mike!! Really dig your channel bro!! Stay blessed my friend!!
I love the curb side scrapping better than the dumpsters
Keep up the good work and stay safe out there
Love it!!
Good job, Mike! You sure do pack your scrap items into the truck nicely, and get the max use of the space available! I'm impressed!! 🤗
Mike it's me again I've looked through the comments several people have intrest in the wah pedal ,I left a comment earlier but had to leave this comment as well, I said in my other comment that the cry baby pedal is an old school pedal however its very saught after the reason it's a vintage pedal that holds its value even if it dosnt work it's very easy to have it repaired and I dont it would take much to repair it if it dosnt but that pedal again is very saught after in the guitar world as i said in my other comment i had one and gave it to a friend that was nearly 20 to 30 yrs ago I was around 15 when I started playing guitar I'm 56 now I dont have the gear I had when I was younger wife kinda made me sell my crate half stack and other guitars as well now I'm down to 2 amps and 3 guitars wishing i had my old wah pedal when I saw the video but that's the way the ole ball bunches ,anyway again have the pedal checked out it's very saught after and could potentially bring a couple hundred bucks maybe more ,
Mike, just keep it coming. Trash is endless.
It’s shocking at how new looking so many of the washing machines that you pick up are. Another full Dottie. Took her out to dinner and filled her up.
Stay safe and God Bless
Now that's real curb appeal. thank you for your videos and all you do to help the environment. God bless you be safe out there
Kind people make life more valuable, especially if they give scrap.
Mike after all that, You should put a ad in your local paper, "I pick up all metal scrap!" I bet people would love that shit! Instead of bringing it to the curb , you show up and just load it up for them?
You would need a trailer to haul it all away. You might even need a second person to drive your other truck. Good luck there Mike.
What's a local paper? Haha
Local web site you wanted to say? Who the heck read papers today?
You've been doing really well doing your curbside pickups.
Nice to see you, good luck, find them treasures. 👍
You lift heavy stuff all the time it is so amazing to see you
Looking forward to the Scrap Run. Thanks Mike
I have been on holiday I really missed not seeing your regular posts I think you are brilliant take care Debbie xxxxxxxxxx
Good curbside scrap!! Can’t wait to see the scrap run!
5 am here Mike in uk 🇬🇧 nice to wake to some scavenging
Great stuff Mike always entertaining!
I ALWAYS STAY ON TO THE END TO DANCE TO THE MUSIC 🤣🤣🤣
The host with the most! ✌🏼❤️
Great Haul Mike, Great Job, keep up the great Work.
You sure got some good stuff out of the urban jungle
I've had good luck using fix a flat for repairing small equipment tires. So let the air out of the second and filler up with the leftovers.
Mike you are the man thanks bro for a great scrap run
Those old dishes make nice bird baths with a little work .
Your communication skills are special.
We love your videos. We've been watching for quite a while. We love your positive energy and attitude. You have a great personality. When I go dumpster diving and find any scrap, I always think if you, 😆. Have a blessed day and stay safe.
مرحبا
God bless your work great job and God bless America
Wow people toss so many useable items. Thanks for keeping it out of the landfill.
You are so nice to people, restores my faith in humanity 🎈
Keep up the great content!
Now that's how to get it done. With a hatchet! Nice
Mike the storm heading your way can contain heavy rain and flooding conditions. Just take caution and be safe.
You might be getting a load of cameras and monitors enjoy.
Hey is Mike near TX?
I find most people are very cool about my street scrapping. They like that I'm keeping stuff out of the trash. But there's always some that are just, shall we say, "reserved".
Always good brother! have a good one
The washers even if they don't work perfectly, the controller board is often worth 100+ dollars on ebay. It is certainly worth your time to rip out the board snd sell them.
Good afternoon all xxx
Great job with the hatchet lol. Interesting scrap too.
Well scrappity scrap scrap. That’s a good haul.
the bed rails do come apart with a bit of hammer action love it man xxxxxxsweetxxxxxxx
Trailer Trailer man save your back....Great load of scrap.... Keep em coming
Curbside mikeeeeeee
That silver one i was waiting for someone to yell hey where you going with that we installing it
I used to work in security in a very big city for 17 years. You're super nice and compliant. If I were you, (this goes for your commercial trash runs) just let the security officers know you're a professional recycler and you're keeping things that are recyclable from the dump to help the earth. Make them feel like crap for running you off. Heck, even talk to property management companies and see if they'll give you permission to go through their stuff. You'll be surprised who will say yes. Otherwise, keep doing what you're doing and hitting before security is on shift.
I'd think it is because of insurance in case he gets hurt in the area.
Thanks Mike always awesome 👍
So much stuff! Wow.
Great video mike scrapy scrapy as my grandson says watch your heads mike
Mike it’s bed time I’ll have to check it out tomorrow
Good run for sure
This guy will hit a million keep it up

Good pickings today Mike...💲💲💲💲
You should rebuild the appliances - washer - dryer - fridge and resell them or work a deal with a appliance resale shop . The plastic sawhorses are gold . They last for years i have a set .
I am always amazed at the way you handle the scrap. Just a note though, when you pick up the gas water heaters I would gab it just below the valve where it goes into the bottom of the heater. It makes a great handle.
