- 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!

Dumpster diving is all about stealth and quietness, you make enough noise to wake the dead. Lol. Another classic episode. 👍👍
I love your videos!!! I’m an ER nurse and and I’ve had a few bad days, one was on Saturday. You’re videos are just what I need on those bad days. You have a great sense of humor. I knew nothing about scraping but I’ve learned a lot and I get happy when you find great, odd finds. Keep up the great work Mike. God bless you. ✌🏼I’m so glad I ran into your video. I think about a year ago. Been looking forward to them since.
That’s funny I am an Emerg Nurse as well. 😂😂

I'm in Valinhos SP I'm 62 years old and I also like to watch your RUclips channel for me it's a pleasure to see you messed up with these objects that you collect from the trash
3 ring binders are kida expensive. Would be good for the kids going back to school
I kept checking and refreshing the feed and Voila! It's Mikey in the house!!
Haha so I'm not the only one who does that then 👍😂
The factory floor mats, when we replaced ours with weathertec, went in the back on top of the spare tire.
Because kneeling on a carpet floor mat is way more comofrtable than kneeling on the chipseal shoulder when changing a tire, no matter what the weather.
That graphics card! I’d love to come across that in the trash!
aaRhrj
I came across tons of gpu that a hospital tossed out by my work. made good money out of it.
The Founders edition it's a absolute beauty hehe
It looked untouched probably in mint condition
Glad to know us people in new england are not the only ones that seem to get rain way too often this summer. I pour concrete so it creates real problems with getting loaded concrete trucks around the job sites with so much mud.
Lawdy Lawdy, I been hoping for a video for days! Just added some oldies to my play list, too. Thank you, Mike!!
Mike, while I have always shared your enthusiasm for scrapping I no longer have, at 75, your endless energy. You are one energizer guy. Remember most schools can put to good use a box of pens and pencils.
I'm only 42 and it's not as easy for me to climb in as it was 10 years ago. I wonder if he has ever done like me and slipped when going to hop in and rake both shins down the edge of a dumpster. I stood there leaning against it for what felt like an hour swearing I was done lol. Actually I was back out the next day.
How I imagine Mike's response to the "how are you doing?" scraptastic 😁😂
غضخل
Best part of the day when Mike drops a video.... have a blessed day Mike and everyone else reading this 😁
have blessed day to you and the rest of the scavenge-army
God bless you ... l'm from Iraq
Thank you Jose you do the same
Big love from on top of my mountain in Snowdonia, Wales

As a plumber that works with a lot of other trades and does mostly commercial work, you would not believe how much shit we actually throw out, new and slightly used shit.
Dude I can't believe how much I love dumpster diving lol... I never did it until I started watching your videos and now it's where most of the scrap I get comes from... and I always go to places that are doing construction and been getting a lot of wire and good stuff
من السعوديه 👍
That dumpster was full of number one and number one 😂
I cant imagine Mike in stealth mode 😆
i love how he greets the dumpster and hes also super enthuastic
The torture weapons is for making rotisserie chicken. You put one on each side of the chicken. Another Awesome video, Great Job Mike!!!!!
TV Parts are still profitable on eBay !
Power supply, back lighting& sound units with speakers.
Let's hop in with the juices!
Perfect t-shirt slogan
Got me some dumpster juice on me the other day, thought of you Mikey hahahha
You make my day Mike, I always look forward to your videos!
some smuck ran out his house yelled "you get out of there don't come back, i already called the cops" well he is across the street the open top is not on his property (go sit on a tack) guard comes out "can't have you going in there" "Wouldn't be the first time" "Well it's a safety issue" still check it lol
If I'm dumpster diving somewhere I'm not going to sue the company it's my fault not theirs
@@philiploveyourvideos2740 not going to sue either just be careful should be fine
LOL just went back and watched a video from 2 year ago. Wonder if it hurts Mike to see all off the scrap he bypassed or dumpsters he wouldn’t even look in because they smelled? You’ve come a long way Mike!
you put so much energy into what you do....great to watch...and as for quiet, I dont think you could be quiet ,but as you are only dumpster diving it doesnt matter too much...LOL...be safe
Another awesome video mike the scavenger!
Fun finds! Enjoyed watching! Love your new truck sign 💨 lol
Hey Mike- there is no mercury in florescent bulbs, they are filled with Argon gas. Only antique neon light's were filled with Mercury!
On average, CFLs contain about four milligrams of mercury sealed within the glass tubing. ... No mercury is released when the bulbs are intact (i.e., not broken) or in use, but mercury vapor and very small beads of mercury can be released when a CFL is broken.
www.epa.gov/cfl/what-are-connections-between-mercury-and-cfls#:~:text=On%20average%2C%20CFLs%20contain%20about,sealed%20within%20the%20glass%20tubing.&text=No%20mercury%20is%20released%20when,when%20a%20CFL%20is%20broken.
Gene -There IS mercury in all fluorescent light bulbs and tubes, but won't harm you if not broken. They should be turned in for proper disposal so the mercury doesn't wind up in landfills, as they will get broken and release the mercury into the environment.
@@georgiadavison4394 there is no mercury in modern florescent bulbs- they havn't used mercury in florescent lights since the 70's my dear! I worked in the industry for several years- modern flourescent lights contain Argon gas which is not toxic nor harmful to the invironment! We use ARGON to shield welds in welding, it removes the oxygen from the atmosphere around the welds to prevent carbon buildup in the welds-.. Look it up if you don't believe me- mercury was removed from the process in the 70's at the same time we removed lead from paint! Due to it's toxicity to human's and the environment! What you are thinking of is NEON lighting which uses different elements to change colors in the light's- in that case red is mercury!
That gtx 970 is a graphics card for a computer
The Multi media card reader plugs into the USB pins on the motherboard and let's you read all types of camera cards
The netgear USB is a wireless adapter so you can get wifi on a computer
Was a GTX 770 Founders Edition inside the box.
I found a similar card reader too and soldered a USB cable to it so I can use this as a regular external reader.
Graphics card is worthless btw.
Had me rolling over the waffle..lol
Well done my friend who was recently named the best content because this is halal looking for food. Good job my friend..👍👍
Your like a real life grinch he scavanges through dumpsters lol
I do the same brother in Australia the amount of goodies I find is out of this world lol love watching your finds cheers from Oz
Mike with his mouth full talking to the scrap is my new favorite.
Until you realize he was handling the pocketknife with the dumpster juice gloves before he put it in his mouth.
Dumpster Juice yeah
😂👍
MrsMorrisReads I agree with you. That has become my favourite too. Quite comical. 😁🌈🇨🇦
نننض
You just having too much fun. 😅🤣😂
That juice looks GROTY!! 😆😂🤣
No one's freaking out about the graphics card yet? Ok I'll start. A GTX770 in the trash?????
I never personally owned a 770, but isn't that a 2gb ddr3 card?
I know...that sucker is still worth $150 at least.
That graphic card in the trash $$$
I've never found a decent one! Awesome for Mike👀👍😁
@Julia57 just me haha no he has his pocket knife in his mouth
Mike I always love how respectful you are and clean up after you are done. Stay safe and healthy Mike 🙏❤🙏
Wow cool house. Take easy. Can’t wait for the next video.❤❤
I like those stop boards. There are collecters for them.
We need a shirt that says “watch yo head!”
Watch yo head Kimberly Mays!
I love your videos. However, am I the only one who waves at all the dust stirred up?😂😂😂😂
Nope, you are definitely not.
We all do! 😂
No you n
Eas❤
Hi! Mr. Mike. Getting dumpster love. From your Philly fan! Be safe always. And many blessings. 🤗😁😉🤩😎😍👏👏👏👍🤑😇💖💣☕
Dude, you are in-SANE! I mean that in the best way!
Really enjoyed your video. Lots of great finds. God bless you and be safe 😊
Sad to see a Viking dish washer in the trash. That's good stuff
9:19 That Nintendo Switch box is worth money.
11:47 That's a built-in card reader for a desktop.
11:58 That's a Wifi dongle. The disc contains the drivers.
12:23 That's a sealed legit copy of Windows 10, complete with the COA sticker. Now that's worth money!
You got the dotter all loaded tonight Mikey.
Hi mike just finished my shift get home and looking forward 2 watching your video always amazing and have a laugh 😆 u have a great sense of humour as always stay safe regards 2 family peace ✌️😎respect 🍀
Hay mike why didn’t you grab the cord and remote for that huge broken Tv. Could have sold the remote people lose those things all the time or their dogs eat them
Lol
Lost 3 so far from my Pit and always looking for a backup…. OEM remotes are expensive
Probably there was a bunch of copper wires around the old tv screen 🤔 Just like in these old school monitors.
Mike love your videos. Watching a long time. Thank you. Evelyn from trxas.
It was nice to see Dottie!
You make diving interesting.✌️
Great haul!
got to love going for snippets
Mike. Carry a cordless drill for the TV’s. Take out the 6 screw on back of the TV and pull the copper wires out of the inside of the TV then dump the rest back in the dumpster. Easy money!
Missing you Mike! Hope all is well with you and yours.
Hey Mike those man man cave stop and fart zone signs nice find. That heater looks like it might be a heat pump. Good copper tonight.
Heat and air conditioner saw the A coil inside 👍
A little juice never hurt anyting LOL
Mike Please please be careful jumping in those dumpsters. I saw that "widow maker" and nearly lost it!! The dumpster right before that one you had just jumped right on top of the trash bag and I just cant get that out of my thoughts! I afraid of seeing you jump in and cut yourself all up on glass or impale yourself on something. We care about you and want to see you get hurt❤❤ Oh and Miss Dottie need some 💕 she takes a beating but shes always there for you❤❤❤
Sorry 😔 I intended to say we DON'T want you to get hurt! Please take care of yourself.
Another great video❣️
BTW those torture devices are what my mom used to use with a rotisserie spit in the grill. Great Chickens in the days before Sam’s Club rotisserie chicken were even thought of yet. 😉
I’m like you , I love pens 🖊! Love this channel and you really crack me up!
Glad your safety boots are back!
Would love to see a scrapping video of that AC and dishwasher. Nice Haul.😊
I wonder how many tons of scrap Mike has kept out of the landfills….. definitely helps the planet and mikes wallet 😝
Always awesome video , and you find the most awesome stuff.
Those stop signs can sell for some good money!
A Nvidia GeForce GTX 770 is older but still worth like $150 if it works. :) Video cards are expensive right now.
I like when you go the scrap yard! Just subscribed about a week ago, love watching you Mike!
Those 2 outdoor cookers sell good for fish fry, Turkey fryers
Also to csnners who are looking to set up an outdoor canning space.
Love dumpster diving
Rocking my scrappy world....
Loved it Mike, awesome you found a decent graphics card 👍😁
Waffle!!🤣🤣
Mike you're about a quite as my rooster 🐓 crow at 6am 😂
Hey Mike, the easiest way to get the tubes out of those light fixtures is to lay it flat and step on one end. The end will bend outward and the light tubes all come free at once.
Mike all your videos are 👍!!
Your so fun to watch!! So upbeat!!
Love ya
Too bad that Viking dishwasher was damaged. Very expensive and top-of-the-line appliance.
Watching this guy work.. I realize one thing.. we as a people are so wasteful…but I’m glad this guy is smart enough to make money on it..
Mike you can part the trays and basket etc. off that dishwasher for good money.
The tubes in old tvs are worth more than the rest of the tv. And are able to be sold if they aren't broken
Copper as well.
HUGE copper coil!
Damn I can't even afford a Graphics card and you find one in the dumpster smh keep up the awesome work my man
Always good to watch. Love from the UK.
Thats some cotton candy for the snowflakes!!!!!
Thank you for your video I’m in the hospital and you make me smile and love watching you scrap great job dude
Fell better soon!
Those torture devices are to put on a rod to hold meat to rotisserie.
CRT monitor haha yup “cathode ray tube” I remember those from the vo-tech school!! 1984! 💯
Mmmm copper yokes!!!😁
I'm from california and around here they lock the dumpster up or there behind lock gate I like watching your videos cuz you find alot of good stuff
Same here in Oregon. Plus they don’t recycle everything like we do so all the metal and fun stuff goes away before we can get to them. You have to find roadside stuff or look on Craigslist and sites like that. I like mikes way better!
Get a flat dustpan for the bottom juice bits...
Looks like an advertising specialties sample pens and such...
Good 💡 idea yeah a Flat metal dustpan with handle and holes for juice to drain out👍🏻
Mike I really love watching your channel, you are so enthusiastic and I actually learned a lot as a fellow diver. Haven’t done any scrapping yet… I don’t know much about it but I’m learning a lot from watching you. Also I had a question do you ever ask the managers in the store if you can go through their dumpster? I wonder because There’s so much noise involved with all the metal that you handle, dumpster diving by itself is noisy let alone dumpster diving for scrap……So yes I was just wondering how you get away with making so much noise and nobody ever coming out and catching you or asking you to leave
That’s why he goes out under the cover of night!
It’s Houston-as long as he’s not shooting a gun, it’s all good. And, better to apologize than ask permission. A manager would likely say no, because then the company is at risk if Mike gets hurt God forbid. But as a trespasser, Mike acts at his own risk. So, win-win.
Si šikovný rád pozeram Tvoje videjka. Prajem Ti vela úspěch.
You should have a pair of BBQ tongs to get those snippets out of the juice!
You should donate all those pens, pencils and markers to a school. I don’t know if the teachers in Florida have to buy their own supplies. My daughter in law is a teacher in Texas and she and all of the other teachers have to buy their own supplies out of their own money. That’s a bunch of B.S.
He's in Texas I believe
@@tinathompson2877 it’s pretty much the same across the country.😱
Texas Dumpster Divers Educational Support Program
Same in Arizona our poor teachers are underpaid and having to buy supplies for their kids
He is in the Houston TX area
Hey Mike the scavenger Tony Hawk has got Pro skateboards too in their pro quality I used to have a couple of them in my younger Skateboarding days Tony Hawk's son Riley hawk is a pro skateboarder Now Walmart is just got the knock off Tony Hawthorne's in their cheap is deep a truck surveillance plastic
Have a blessed all day all nigth boss mike! Watching from the Philippines!☝❤✌💪😁
Gah! It's been 5 days! I need scrap videos!!!! Lmao
Truly amazing that a dishwasher doesn't even last long enough to get dirty!
That graphics card will go for $100+ with the shortage of GPU's recently. Dont go too cheap with it. Even spare or repairs ones are doing good money.
nah it was only a 770, mayyybe a hundred if you're lucky
@@lukelegg9915 but.. There is a lot of people wanting to finish building there pc and that is the last peace of the puzzle.
@@Nomad-Rogers and a 770 is not a good choice im sorry to say, its far far outdated, only 2 gb of vram
@@lukelegg9915 dont be like that, it could be used for a kids pc to teach them the building basics without too much worry, and it still will work for a lot of older games, retroboxes, etc. think outside the box dude.
@@riskyrecipeh4858 yes those are options but I didnt call it useless, just outdated and not worth over 100 bucks
Oh, remember, Mickey, how quickly it passed, 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
The gloves 🧤 rocks!!!
