Dumpster Diving "A Small Piece of Something"
Ойын-сауық
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.

Damn son you had this video up pretty fast. Good work son. 💥🔥
Talk about some gravy aluminum. Nice score!
Love the start up logo . Always listen to the random bits at the end 😂
You make me laugh all the time!! Love your videos!! And your sense of humor!!
Mike the scavenger you are AUFOS you are from a different planet you are an amazing creature I’ll bless your work🙏
My Dad was a truck driver for most of his life. Jumping down from the driver's seat over the years severely impacted his hip joints which really caused problems late in his years. I'd advise you ease yourself down when exiting over the tops. I totally enjoy your adventures.
I love the open tops and you see your snippets!!🎉🎉
Mikes the man, love the truck unload bit at the end👏
Money money money Mr. Mike is making the money
Watch yo head!!!! My favorite lol....
Watching you scavenge with my morning coffee is way more fun than any chocolate donut!

Lately, I’ve been finding individual truck springs, not sets. I can’t imagine changing only one.
You're better than a new pair of snow tires! Awesomeness! MTS, good scrappity scrap! Making 💰 gotta be 💪
When I worked for a tire company I saved the old valve stems and lead weights. at the end of a few days I had quite a few pounds of lead and scraped off the rubber off the brass and sometimes was a steel. I had a coffee can of the valve stems. Money is money and had a regular job and getting ready to be getting married soon.
Some nice alloy wire scrap goodnight all round Mike uk
You are not just number one you are number 1+🙏
Good workout tonight mike , the boys that have been watching you in the shed since summer , have had there last day at school before the Xmas holidays , one of the teachers say , why are the boys in the shed most nights and who is Mike the scavenger , most are watching him now hahaha Incase you've forgotten this is england , your name is traveling far and wide
As the Brits would say, Al-lou-mini-um. That was the dumpster that just kept on giving!
Hi Mike... I'm totally addicted to watching you and your videos. You are quite the hoot! Seeing The paint on your toe nails was just awesome 👍😎, Ya got some good looking feet there Mike! Keep these videos coming, just makes my days!
Doing well thanks for asking ,merry Christmas and a happy new year
I love replays, he is so funny
I go for the tried and trusted "snippet", with double p, as you can see.
Starting with an Alu Hoard - Nice Score ! Great Heavy Black Display Unit and Wire and Such ! Nice Dumpster Evening again ! Cheers from us in Australia !!!!
Mike why not starting in January, save all your copper for a year. Wow what a nice check that would be! Just saying. You and your wife, and dogs have an awesome Christmas!!! Love your videos!
That's funny about the window. I've busted my back window 3 or4 times throwing stuff in the bed.(Shovels,2×4s'. It happens.)
Amazing finds. Enjoyed your video 😅. Be safe and God bless you. Take care of yourself 😊
Mike you make my day better
Hey MIKE another great show BROTHER and YOUR DOING well so take CARE my FRIEND
Mike watch yow head lol hope your good man... y'all stay safe and thanks for the video.
Awesom Mike. As always you amaze with your strength and ingenuity!! It a lot of fun going with you!
Scrap and Stuff and Mike and Stuff 🤘👍🏽🍺☃️🎄
Mike the tray that you picked up out of the open top is what the drywall guys use for mud and usually are stainless just so you know for the next time
Nice haul
Another great video ,Mike.
Great scrapping...
You are hands down my favorite scrapper. Every single time you say "Watch Yo Head" I duck my head on this side of the video. I'm in Florida, I scrap as well. Got two trailers for it. I am addicted! Keep up your awesome videos. You're keeping it out of the landfills!!!
Nice job Mike, well done!
I would definitely be in competition with you I've been scrapping for 30 years never had time for the garage sales back then copper brass radiators were the norm today it's aluminum and plastic stripping wire has it advantage if you have the time computer wires go for 15% it all adds up over time how much time have you got or I should say space I've had as much as 14 different metals collected in different buckets and barrels for the same load
Awesome video mike the scavenger
Juicy aluminum score. Nice one
I had a friend in Jr high named Rob Stebbins,We called him Rid-a- Snibbets. Funny memory.
Doing Superfantatic! Thanks for asking Mike.
We had solar panels installed on our house and they left a piece of scrap on the roof. Had my husband take it down and I’m like that’s a nice piece of extruded aluminum there and my husband was like what? I’m like I watch scrapper Mike! I’m like that goes in the scrapper box!

You go girl. Knowing a bit about scrap metal can go a long way in the long run. Those rotors Mike finds are worth almost $2 apiece. A aluminum pressure cooker pot worth about $8 scrap.
The pan is a mud pan for "drywall."
Thanks Mike. Appreciate your time in making these videos.
The planter box thing is a mud knife tray for doing drywall
Greetings from pa ,Hope you have a merry Christmas stay safe and worm
Yes this old lady caught the Snoop Dog, Gin and juice!
Its amazing that all this stuff MTS picks up would end up in a land fill….. its fascinating to see what gets toss out , its the brand new stuff in the package i find staggering
All good, especially with such a mountain of aluminum.
that sheet rock dust, i was holding my breath. lol
Thanks for the Name of the scrapyard song that you sent me bro Mike.. Have a super blessed weekend and enjoy yourselves.

I was doin that too plus pulling my head back and waving my hand around. Mikey should get a mask.
Those bulb sockets from the lights are pretty easy to pull apart and get clean brass out of. They usually just have a piece of fiberboard stapled on the back. One flick with a screwdriver gets the back off, then pull the connectors out with a pliers. You also get all those tiny bits of #1 wire out, which you can add to your bin.
Oi Mike Deus abençoe você e sua família . Estou com vocês
Awesome videos idol mike
Good morning mike
hey Mike love the videos but have a question, who does your nails? pretty funny stuff . Happy Holidays to you and the misses. watching from Montreal.
Nice alloy find buddy, I just did a scrap run yesterday 1060kg steel and 160kg aluminium, but my yard pays crap and it's the only one nearby. Only get 25c a kg or alloy and there's no separation between the types, so I only take all the shity stuff and hold all the good extruded alloy and I'm definitely not taking the brass or copper there,, I asked what brass was and it's only a $1.20kg for clean, so I'll hold onto it and take it 3-4hours away and I'll still make a killing. I usually just take the steel which is kinda pays ok.
your music fits u...the rock!
Mike you are a amazing I bet you was the one that got thoses sardines in thoses cans!!!
Great scrap session awesome the way you get right on in when I was younger I used to do it but now I'm to fat and broken lmao thank you for sharing your adventures five stars
That's alot of aluminum in the beginning of this video. That's the scrap run I would like to see. How much $ was in just that aluminum.
Love the channel. Keep up your good work.
Good job young man! That was heavy scrap!
