  • 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.

    Could be a new play center at Chuck-e-cheese. Imagine a big plastic dumpster filled with plastic balls, and a few of them are metallic colored. Children roll around and play in the balls and get a prize if they find the "scrappity scrap" balls. 😀

    Often, American Legion chapters take used wheelchairs, walkers, and canes. Check with the local. As for the studs, aluminum is aluminum, and if you take it, it's not in the landfill. That's scrapbooking paper at the bottom of the blue tote, not tags.

    Just a little tip for you Mike, don’t cash in your copper wire, as the price is going to continue to increase, so store it for an investment.
    For your FYI electric cars use about 183 pounds of copper & wind machines that produce electricity uses almost 3 tons of copper, so this just gives you an idea.
