- 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. Be sure to stay subscribed to stay up to date with my latest expeditions, y'all!
I don't know why I keep watching these videos, I must be a masochist at heart. Seeing how many new products get thrown away rather than donated really winds me up.
Same I just am amazed at what he finds in the trash. I find myself saying “you gatta be kidding me” a lot
It is pretty amazing to see the valuable and recyclable items simply thrown in a landfill.
Mike is a tiny, tiny, tiny example of this nation wide issue.
@@markcloutier7087 well he’s doing his part to motivate for sure I’ve done a few truck loads scrap runs myself and I’m by no means a scraper. Even when I don’t I leave my scrap in a pile by the trashcans for them and it’s always gone fast
Hey Mike you need to buy you a lift gate for Betty white
I appreciate the time and effort that goes into making this podcast. Thanks for taking us along.
That fire alarm box are street pull boxes. Sends a pulse signal based on the box number to dispatch and they dispatch the closest Fire rig. Worth $150-$300
Nice! Definitely another interesting and unique find for sure!
@@MikeTheScavenger haha i just looked it up. You find the best stuff. I cant believe what some people just toss out
@@MikeTheScavenger The Co2 Fire extinguisher you left is collectable. At least $100. They can be recertified and filled if not too old. My son sold a smaller one to a guy that refills them for $85 years ago. It was too old to refill but looked fairly new. He flips them on ebay.
@@MikeTheScavenger my city used to have a whole system of those until sometime in the mid 2010s. A lot of the interior fire alarm systems of public buildings would be tied into those.
Seen one at a local Flea Market for $100.00. When I was a kid these were all over the place in my city.
I am aware it's a shot in the dark you will see my comment with how many you get and I know you can't possibly answer or reply to thousands and thousands a day. But in the iff chance you do see it great and you entertained me for a number of years now. Years Mike! There's TV programs out there that struggled to hold my attention for this long. So thanks for that. So many thanks Michael!
That fire alarm box is the perfect example of something thrown away with out a second glance. What a wicked find Mike. I want it!
I've been watching Mike for years, the Legend that he is
I came for the trash, but I stayed for the upbeat attitude! Love your work Mike.
I would never tell you what to do with what you find but that fire box is truly awesome. Thank you for taking us along.
Hey Mike I would like to take a moment to let you know. Its a sure deal that there are a lot of us that love to watch you work and respect you for all that you do. I hope you never change man you remind me of my family in many ways. So it is nice to watch you work.
I'm not a scraper! I do love watching Mike and learning. I enjoy watching him and his great personality! He makes me smile when it is needed but it's like a Treasure.
Hunt
Yes back in the day, there was a little struggle to find/change music media but when it was found its like pure happiness...for 3.58 minutes.
Another good Mike video ! Mike don't scrap that old fire alarm station , collectors love those vintage pieces buddy!
I just love it when you find wire!!
This Man rescues dogs and spends a lot of money on their care. God is always watching out for Mikey 🙏
When you went "knowing is half the battle" I sang G.I. Joe! right before you did. That was amazingly funny
You really make me smile. 😃
It's so great that you save so much from the landfill.
Them video disc players are very collectable 👍💚💛❤️
He’s here for the RUclips money and nothing more cause there’s a hella good living in shit he’s gonna drop off at the scrap yard but at least he understands the assignment and does what pays the bills and is entertaining doing it. I just like seeing all the stuff that could be making me a damn good living.
@@Bamapride1000 He doesn't have the room to store all the stuff while waiting months or years for it to sell.
Mike is always finding the good stuff in the dumpsters and street side scrapping. He has the nose to find the goods!!
That fire alarm box is pretty valuable. Cheapest I could find was $125. That's a pretty good find
Mike u r the king of dumpster treasure

Very cool Mike scavenger. Keep these fantastic videos coming. And always remember stay safe and don’t let the Popo bite.

I'm so glade to run across his viedos. When I did. Mike's the dumpster king of the scrap!
Awesome video Mike love watching after work just to
Help relax !
Hey Mike! Ive noticed you come across a lot of medical supplies. I know you can't take them but animal rehabs could really use them. I kniw of several places in Texas. Maybe just look up one or two and send them the location. You're the best! God bless you for all you do! Scrappity scrap! PEACE! 😊😊😊
I died laughing with your greeting. It brought to my mind Princess Bride Quote" You keep using that word. I do not think it means what you think it means." I thought it was hysterical. Thanks for laughs and great entertainment. I was telling my family about you today. Wish you the best Mike.
Mike~~Nice Haul and as you would say, " SCRAPTASTIC", LOVE that NEW Word too!!
Thank you Mike for all you do and do for your community ( keeping it clean👍) all that wire would just get buried in a overstocked dump!
I’m a retired firefighter and would be interested in the fire alarm
Mike is the Best Scrapper. ❤❤😊😊
Looks like a great time wire haul. Love your videos 📸📸📸 lol 😍 ❤❤
16:57 that number would let the fire Department know where u were. When u pulled it the gears inside would spin and send a tone. Very collectible. They also had a light that would stick out of the top.
The fire box is possibly a collectors item.
Fire buffs collect those
Likely$$$
Yet another great haul. Thanks Mike for video. ✌️
Oh my gosh, the mother load of wire….absolutely insane. Nice hau
You are a Beast! And WOW 😮 great haul!!! Blessings and Peace ✝️❤️
Hey Mike nice wire haul. That should be one of your record amounts.
Those electrical conduit cost good money. We as hams make up portable towers for antennas. Have a good one to you and yours.
Hey Joto 😂😂 man I can’t stop laughing 😂😂
He's gotta know
You think , lol . Maybe not
Hayırlı işler ! 😊
Not a show but a good laugh !
MTS must be the luckiest scrapper in his town 😅 MTS scrap finds have been continually going strong for years now. Keep it up 👍💪 MTS
Love your videos!!!I love dumpster diving!!There's always something new to see!!!Keep the videos coming!!!!
I bet there are collectors for that fancy old fire alarm box!!! Might be worth looking into. That’s a whole lot of wire! Junk or not! That was a great haul!! Would love a follow up!!!
You are going to work your butt off on this one but you always do. You keep us entertained the whole time and we love every minute of your videos. Thank you Mike
Brilliant stuff mike.you are the top dog of scrapping.hello from North Wales.🏴
wow, mike is digging lots of mulah out of the dumpster... and helping the environment at the same time, how cool is that?
He single handedly is keeping the global warming in check
when you threw that tub of that brown it was like you skipped through every stage of grief into acceptance, haha
Man I wish I could find fire alarm boxes in the trash lol. Thats a nice find.
Dude, I appreciate your cake lyric reference! Not many people remember those guys and I’m a huge fan of both Mike and cake! Yeah!

Thanks for helping those folks !
Mike, I love your videos. It reminds me of my little brother and me back in the 80's. I would lower him down into the big open tops to hand out the treasure. Love to see a follow up of this one.
6.32 Got parts😎 Mike you didn't pick it back up 😬🤣
I'm glad you started out your vedio today making sure we all knew you had checked to make darn sure the barn door wash closed up good & we couldn't tell if you were wearing the same color underroooz, now on to the snippets and scrappity scraps. Thank you for sharring your journeys.
Dear beloved Trashpanda,
Greeeeeeetings from Germany!
We cant do this here in germany, even good food in trashcans is forbidden. Waste of stuff everywhere.
Thanks mike
Nice Fire ALARM boX!!!
Awesome adventure mike thanks for sharing this with us six stars brother
Love the follow up vids Mikey, keep em up! 🤜💥🤛
HAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHAA!!! The ole barn door!
You have so much fun at your job. 😊
Üdvözlet Mike Magyarországról!
You missed a phone in the first dumpster 💚💛❤️
Yay Mike❤
OMG that wire haul got me all hot under the collar !! crazy score!!
Lot of good scrap, a good finds with the old fire alarm box & wheelchairs.
When I was a kid, those fire alarm boxes were scattered around. When someone pulled one, it would sound a loud horn, that would play the box number then people could look at the box list and find out the area that the fire was in.
You saved alot from the landfills. Nice haul Mike.
What a great haul!
I watched one of Mike 's videos from 5 years ago.
I have seen many of his, He used to put things in the truck gently. Now adays, he throws a motor into the truck over head like a basketball. 😂 Much rougher on the scrap
He used to do garage sale but don’t think he does now.
Loved the GI Joe Reference
Also the Warriors reference. With boppers still boppin.
You have yourself a really really really nice piece in that old fire alarm box. Those were mainly on the streets and when people needed to get the fire department that’s where they would run to. Very pricey piece of equipment. You did good on that one thanks for the video it rocked.
Morning mike
Hi Mike😊
That scrap yard won't take refrigerators or freezers, but take large compressors? An awesome haul never-the-less
Probably because of the gases used to keep em cold..
@@ChrisBarrow-617 yes, in the compressor. So why allow a compressor
Awesome haul!!
Goooolllly Mike! It’ll take you a while to sort out all those wires, but should be well worth it.
Hey you know naked lady flying upside down has crack up 😊
Yup. They were blue underoos! 🤭🫣
The proper response back to your Spanish friend is: “oh delay, cool arrow!”
😂😂😂
What!!?
Does that mean?
And I’m fluent in Spanish
@@Miladyluvs basically, “hey, a$$hole!” 😅 (órale culero!)
@@Miladyluvs Órale, ¢ulero!
Basically, hey, a$$hole! 😅😆
" Yall would have got a show" 😂😂That's why I watch you. Your so funny. I do learn stuff too. Love ya vids man. Your awsome
Great video as always 🙏👍🏻
Closed the barn door 😂😂😂
