Dumpster Diving "A Buffet Of Scrap MADNESS!!!"
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.

missed blue container full of wire in open top where you got all the scrap containers
It's funny, I sometimes finding myself leaning in closer to the screen to see if that was scrap under that box, like I could get a better angle. Waiting for scrapping by VR.

I would buy a VR unit for that ✌️🎅🎄🤶👍
Mike that rolling cart is a hoyer lift for lifting people that can't walk, the base(feet) open and close. to open all the way keeps them stabilized by the weight of the patients so the hoyer doesn't tip over, most usually done over bed, tub or chairs.

Hey Mike, those Cisco units from that open top are actually managed wireless network access points for corporations/large installations. It's like your wireless router for home, but we install one per room for wifi coverage in offices and such. Your computer guy may want those!

Watching this old one. Glad to go over a lot of them. You're so funny Mike, apart of being such a hard working man, you're funny!
Another fun shot gun ride with the King of Scavengers, Mike the Scavenger. You got lots of good stuff. Better head home, it is getting some nasty weather there.💪🏼👏🏼🦵🏼🧔🏾🛻⛽🌝🪓
Cracks me up when he dumps snibets into a milk crate with holes in the bottom of it! 😂🤣🤣🤣
Keep going Mike , there is money in the trash ! Stay healthy
That Lincoln Electric Arc sensor is an automatic sensor for welding fume extractors. It starts the extractor fan as soon as it sees you start welding....... FYI they are about $1500....... Oh, and that first electrical box you couldn't remember the name of? Its a Variable Frequency Drive unit.... or VFD, or sometimes called a VSD where the S stands for speed instead of frequency.
Another great and entertaining video. Always enjoy them! You’re a real character and that’s meant as a true compliment. Stay safe and healthy. Love to Laura, Pat, and Selma!💕
Mike, we could never get bored out scavenging with you! Another entertaining video! Thank you!
Hey Mike love your videos but if your chilly I am from Wisconsin and it was 10 below zero and I work outside,life is good.Stay healthy and give the pups lots of love.
That is some awesome dumpsters you found that night!
Just very entertaining and educational, as always. Not only that, but you also found so much good stuff, this series will never get boring 😃😃👍👍
Have a great day Mike God Bless
The Skeleton Dancing at the end made my day! Awesome my man!
Mike, what you called " some kind of rolling cart" is a hoya lift. For lifting people , makes it easier on both people. Just passing along info. Be blessed.
I really like the fact that he is 38 and he still behaves as a 17-18 yr old guy!
Love your enthusiasm. Don't stop filming.
Loved you chasing those plastic bags. You looked like a scavenger cheerleader when you caught them. Stay warm!!❄️

Them are the jacks that we used to have they hooked to the bumper when cars had real bumpers.
Good clean family entertainment you can trust. Thx man !
Not boring at all! You make me laugh. ESP. When you drop something and it falls over.
Lol on the Dancing Skeleton.
Mike nothing more to say other than you are a legend ! Your video quality is great , your comments are well your comments 😂 and you running after the plastic bags fantastic !!! Thank you !
You have been talking about upgrading Dotty's rails free lumber might be handy
Goodnight scrappy scrap Mike x
Hi Mike.I'm from Poland .I like watching your movies.All good for you.
Those big round buckets that are stuck together, all you need to unstick them is to slide a thin piece of metal or wood like a slim-Jim etc., down the side of each one to allow air to get into the bottom of each and they’ll come right apart. 😊😘♥️🌈🇨🇦
That lift is called a Hoyer lift... put a sling in it and lift paraplegic. Nice piece of medical equipment. Love what you do. It helps me to relaxe seeing stuff kept out of landfill. Awesome.
Stay warm bro!
Great video. Thanks for the upload
That Jack is called a bumper jack and you hook it under the bumper.
Got an idea for a new tool; take an old steel head garden rake and weld one or two small sized speaker magnets on the opposite side of the head ( away from the handle) so you can pull it through the piles of scrap in a container, so you don't have to pick through every little snipit and such. Good luck 🤞
That Lincoln lamp kit K1669-4 list between $1,200 and $1,500 dollars !!!!
Another great video❤❤!! Thanks for the entertainment Mikey!!!!
I got lucky Tuesday I was out and about and I check out a few dumpster. Dollar rama behind the gate somebody put a whole bunch of bags with beer cans in them. Took em all to the beer store and got$11.50 5min work. Love your videos. You are one of a kind, a beautiful sense of humor and energy
Lots going on and scavenger Ville Mike
As always, thanks for the ride along

I just watched it 3 times and it looked like the blue garbage can just disappeared. He filled it up then turned around to grab another and when he panned around to look for stuff it was not there in either corner, unless it was covered up.
Lol my nephews would say "two good sides to every pair" they meant underwear lol!
My husband and I watch you together and we crack up watching you. You have no idea how much fun it is to watch with my husband. He loves to see what you find. I love how he will explain some of the things you finds cuz some I have no clue and some I do. He is amazed at what you find. Thank you for being so funny and fun to watch
I have sign in my company that says ITS ALWAYS BETTER TO BE SAFE THAN SORRY. 🙏🥰🙏
Hi Mike that medical cart is used to lift elderly people in and out of bed
Hey Mike I remember watching you from the beginning ,this crazy,chunky ,hard working kid who worked like a fool(and still does)you give me a good time when you work not afraid to talk and work you must be a handful probably took your wife awhile to train you like your new pups. Thank you

Awesome mike🦝
Mike, you need to do fan ride alongs. Help you out in the dumpsters... have a good one, take care buddy.🗑 ✌☺
Hey Mike, just to let you know, some of those older car jacks are worth some good money. Hard to tell what it came off of. You tossed it to fast. But it's all there except the tire iron. Sometimes they will have the manufacturer's stamp on it.

Also Best to have two trucks and after you fill it up go back home and drop it off and bring the other truck back and refill it if you find an open top with lots of metals
See that trash can get the assist when Mike was putting the slam dunk on that cabinet?😂
we need more longer videos @Mike the scavenger
Love the little song at the end.
Love it! And 31 degrees f. Here in VA. Today!!!! Goop snippets!!!!
TGIF fellow scrappers and scavengers 💪👍 always a great afternoon when @Mike the scavenger uploads a new video 👌
Good day to you too mike another orsome video to watch every little helps hope life is treating you well and dogs are doing ok as always stay safe out there respect bro ✊😎
A while back you was finding all those CPAP machines. I found out there was a nationwide recall on them. They were being sued. Didn't find out much more. Hopefully you got scrap for them. I miss your intro dear. Keep on scrapping. Stay safe and GOD bless
Thanks, Mike. New SA subscriber here. I love learning new things in your videos. Thanks for keeping all this out of the landfill. I’ve learned to give much thought into what I recycle vs what I sand to the landfill. Keep rocking it!
Don't ever think you get boring! You could have stayed in that open top and got all the other stuff and it wouldn't be boring! Also miss your "next morning" going over all you got! Have a great weekend!
As always Super Mike a job well done! Look! It's a Bird! No it's a plane! No, it's Super Mike! Cruising the hiways and byways in his MikeMobile cleverly disguised as a Ford F-150 but as we all know it can fly and it can soar on the lookout for a little more!
The part that was found with the wheelchair is a Hoist for lifting heavy patients
Awe, I knew you had a golden heart, Mikey. Instead of selling the trash binds, you give. Maybe Texas is the place for me. Dekalb Illinois will have to wait. I need to get out of Sodomfornia!!!! Edited time.. I really need to stop placing comments before video ends... Scrap and Pallet Man must is still praying for your blessings Look at that score of wires😄! Yah boyeee!
That's a bummer jack. It would come with all vehicles back in the day when they made good cars.
Mike you forgot for a blue cane in the open top
A ho lotta good finds
Nice job Scavenger!! I love your sense of humor!! Thanks for the great vids!
Fed up with the adverts 😂🙄😂 Love ya channel Mike 🙃😀🇬🇧
Hello Mike have a great diving today

Felicitări Mike.
That Jack is a bumper jack for old cars. But I wish I could find one as I used to use one to change Tires.
"promise I'm not on the sauce" lol
Awesome video!! Loved the cheerleader routine with the bags the laughs greatly appreciated. We have snow piles everywhere! So far in my neck of woods in Northeastern PA been a mild winter. 🙂👍🙂
Great finds Mike!
Gotta Like It!
Ssaludos Mike desde Puerto Rico, sigue con el buen trabajo muy entretenido
Hey Mike, what is "Chilly" to you? We have been having 18 to 25 degrees' here in Delaware. That lamp kit is over $1000.00
Mike, in the NC mountains the ground is covered with 14"of snow, come on up for a visit.
Run Mikey run lol 🤣🤣🤣
They closed school here one day for what I called Texas Panic snow - not even 1 inch. I was out driving in it. Big fat hairy one; the "storm" was over by 11AM. When I was in school, we went outside for Recess in worse than that.
