Dumpster Diving "Chemicals & Death"
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!

I work at a nursing home & those adult briefs would definitely be welcome at any nursing home. I wish the people who threw them out would have donated them. I'm glad you came across them & will take them where they're needed! Love your channel!

Back in the day my husband wasn't required to wear a mask. He was never told about the dangers of asbestos. I lost him to asbestos poisoning. Stay smart and protect yourself because we love you.

My condolences for your loss. I recall when I was a kid back in the 60's asbestos was everywhere, wrapped on school steam pipes, brake liners of all vehicles back then, and even sold in a box to the public. I wonder how many others passed from asbestos related lung disease, and no one correlated this asbestos substance as disease causing. Of course then D.D.T. was widely used too. Makes you wonder how much we've been exposed to that was toxic and didn't know it.
Mike, you are a good person for recovering and donating that stuff!

I am so very grateful to you Mike for taking the Adult Briefs from the dumpster.👍😎👍
Thanks Mike for donating the under pants somewhere. They should have been donated to begin with rather then thrown away. You're a good guy!
The pants will be welcomed at any care home you stop by for decabled adults , and elderly and they are so vital to a clean dignified life , thank you for rescuing them , great job Mike 👍

That metal thing with the foot petal is a hand sanitizer stand put your big jug of sanitizer step on the petal and voila you don’t have to touch the top of the sanitizer bottle to get sanitizer out ❤️🇨🇦 another great video by Mike the Scavenger

Hey mike you are one of the funniest scrapper ever
Geesh - these videos are so addictive - I have dumpster dived before, it's just amazing what people throw out. I like the way Mike puts all this stuff on his truck like a puzzle and takes it home to sort it all out in an oddly satisfying way...
Kudos on the dust mask!! We want you around forever!

Many years ago I worked for a trash collection company and many times companies would throw away som reall good and new items. One day I asked why the just dont give the items away there reply was because of liability laws. If someone got injured by a product given away the company could be sued...
When my hubby passed I donated to the senior center and they were happy to take and knew who to distribute to .
At 30:20 the thing you are asking about, is a sheetrock banjo. Used to apply tape and mud in one pass. They are ussually aluminum to be lightweight and not rust from the mud in them.
Wow, Mike wearing a mask. Lol keep up the good work
There's a lot of things that people need that can be donated, especially the less fortunate. Being that these are hard times for everyone, every little bit helps in the most unusual way. A little bit can make someone's day better. Thank you for helping in any way possible.
Hi Mike, here in the UK large charities and individuals who will travel to Ukraine will take all items. So if you find clean clothes, toiletries, toys etc, I am confident that everything will be welcome. We all need to remember that a large percentage of the people left with the clothes on their back and if they were lucky, a suitcase or two. Glad to see you wearing a good mask. You need to stay safe 😷
The world is so wasteful! Some people who don't have any money would love to find the nappies! Well done you sir!
Mike you are an angel in disguise. Those underpants for adults are great for a dignified life . Thank you again for your generosity,
You donating the adult briefs was a game changer for me. Thank you for thinking of others .
All time favourite youtuber Mike ur energy and enthusiasm know no bounds , i know ur making money but the fact you donate stuff too is great …keep doing what ur doing stay safe Regards from Fife Scotland

Wouldn't it be fun to jump in a dumpster, from the top , that was only filled with bubble wrap !! We're on our way in now to the chipper.
Jeeze, Mike. You're such a goofball! (drippage). I must be a goofball, too, because I laughed heartily at that. I'm so glad you grabbed those donate-ables...super expensive for those that can least afford them. You really made me happy when you put on the mask! This was an especially wonderful video for me today!
Mike your awesome, most people would pass on the diapers. Thanks for donating them. The aluminum tool is a "banjo", used to apply joint compound to paper seam tape and then to drywall joints/seams (pre-pasted) Thanks for the smiles you provide, needed them today. 👊👍✌️🤟🖖 Awoooo Yall 😊
I need my daily dose of Mike the scavenger.🐎🌻✌️
Glad to see you wearing a mask. Enjoy watching your videos, keep up the good work.
Way to go Mike!! We can see all that floats around when you’re in the dumpsters and it Don’t look great, I appreciate you wearing the mask. Thanks for all your entertaining content, God bless you and your family 😎
That's a game changer having your magnet for that silverware & all the nuts & bolts you come across. I really like the longer videos, I know it can't always happen, it's just that I don't want it to end. WATCH YO HEAD, WATCH YO HEAD MIKE.
I busted out laughing when you stepped on that skateboard and it just sunk...🤣🤣🤣
Thank you for donating medical supplies. You can always post them on Facebook for FREE. On your local free pages. It's how I donate things
Thank You! Never, never leave adult diapers behind! They are so needed. And expensive. They are so needed. I know you don’t see any money in them, but sometimes it’s not always about the money. Good job Mike!
Good job Mike. Donating makes you feel good and does som good for others. Glad to see you put a mask on, KEEP IT UP!
Im finding myself pulling up to peoples trash piles on my way home from work lately, beacause of You! LOL. Im not a scrapper but you show how you can rind cool stuff to sel on eBayl. Thanks Again Mike. Budreaux
Safe dumpster diving, is cool. 😎. May the dumpsters continue to be forever in your favour.
Never touch the red bags Mike ! It’s hazardous waste!

You are absolutely right. And why it's in a regular dumpster is wrong. It's supposed to go out in a special trash bin.
Good Afternoon My Good Bro Mike The Scavenger
Always surprises me what they throw away. Good trip for you today.Enjoyed.
Yes mike look after your health you don’t no what that dust is bro stay safe and strong out there respect 🤙😎
Wow, those packages of adult diapers are expensive and my Mom that is 87 is on a very fixed income. She would be so excited to have some free packages. Thank you so much for donating them to folks that need them!
Hey Mike always a pleasure to see ya good luck 👍 ❤️
Question for everyone, who remembers Mike's "getto grabber"? Lol
Why people don't donate items vs throwing them out just baffles me 🤦♂️ at least Mike's recycling or donating them 👏👏
Look like me digging at the Goodwill bins, lol. Great video. Stress relief watching. Hope you got some good $$$ for your efforts. 🌿💙
So glad to see you wearing a mask in those dusty dumpsters! You got a good haul. Love watching your videos!
Mike you can donate the diapers to free clinics or even food banks because they pick up different items are like soap and diapers and shampoo and different things like that.
good luck with the storms you guys are supposed to get down there tonight
18:12 “Pieces of plastic” are oxygen wrenches. Could probably get a couple bucks each.
You are too funny. I look forward to watching your videos. Keep up the entertaining dumpster diving and curb side.
🤣 “let’s go get some scraps!” 🤣 lmao…that was perfect! That was a drywall tape muddying tool…u put the drywall tape through the hole at the front of it…close the thing up and fill it with drywall mud…it dispenses mud onto the tape as u tape the drywall joints…
Great job grabbing those disposable undies, nursing homes would take them and if not donate them for Ukraine relief I'm sure you can find some organization that would be glad to accept them for the people who have left or lost everything. You are a great man with such a big heart ❤. This world needs more men like you. Stay safe out there always. I look forward to your videos you make my day.
You make my day and night Mike 👍😉
Dotties walls are so cool...multi talented Mike. Glad you saved the diapers. 🏆 🥇
Hey Mike, there is a shortage of the bubble wrap you left in that dumpster. You could recover it, then sell or donate it to someone who has a business that mails boxes.
If you still have that 4 wheeler those wheels will make it look nice. Love you metal sweeper. To bad it is not more powerful. But to much and it would attach to dumpster it just right for you know that you need. Your the best entertainment and I have been finding a lot of curbside things. That I wanted to actually keep instead of scrap.
Hey Mike love your videos man. I do some scrapping myself a d your finds are always inspiring. Thanks man . Keep up the good work.
I so wish I could have found that dumpster 😩 We are getting stuff together for 2 families that are literally starting over with nothing. I am also needing a new, big pot. My years old! one starting sticking terribly. It's amazing the things you find. Stay safe and GOD bless
You could contact your local veterans organizations about the adult incontinence underwear. They might know some people who need them.
The thing you thought was a can crusher it is actually a pump foot action for alcohol to put on your hands .. hope you are well Mike.
scraping the tesla spaceship yard would be great! lots and lots of stailness steel, hahaha greetings from a big fan over the big pond, love your videos and like your german words you talk once and then! have a great day, brother and stay safe and healthy in the urban jungle.
Well another good day finding some goods 👍
All good things come to those that wait and dig to the bottom!
That aluminum thing is a “banjo” for drywall mud and tape application. You find some cool stuff. Keep on trucking😉
Our local food bank will accept the personal care items. These atevvery expensive and often elderly cannot afford them so great find. I am sure you will find a good place to donate them. Thank you for helping provide dignity to someone in need with these items.
love watching your content and love the commentary. we use some of your phrases in our daily routines...and Such!!!
Damn! I need that silverware! My hubby (love him TONS) had a very bad habit of throwing away spoons! I had 16 teaspoons in my set, and I currently have FIVE left!
My favorite mikethescavenger line: watch yo' head.😅😅😅
Stay safe mike love from Boston‼️
My husband loves your show!! Watching from KY.
the thing at 30:11 is for taping plaster ,you put the tape in one end and the plaster in the other ,I think its called a drywall banjo
Love your videos Mike!, keep ‘em coming 👍🏻
That wire with the funny looking shoe thing was a pure copper HV power sweep used in industrial power / handling equipment that works on 3Ph 220/440 AC. I used to work on that kind of stuff.
Another Great Dumpster Diving Adventure ! Get Yourself Dusty - ha ! You found some Stuff - not Bad at all ! That Magnet works soooooo very well !!!! Cheers from us in Australia !!!!
Awesome time thanks for sharing.
Extraordinario super buena la pesca me encanta cuando le le da su toque a los contenedores hasta me pongo expectante que sorpresa nos trae¡¡¡¡¡¡ gracias mister Mike
Mike we never see your face! I want to see who is so funny behind the GoPro!! Love your videos!! Can’t wait to watch the next one!
So happy to see you wear a mask in those dumpster with all the foreign particles floating around! Good deal Mike! 👍🏻

You can cut it out it takes two cuts the first one to cut the tubing the start from one end tightly in the vice and with your knife start enough to grip the wire and as you pull run the knife through the plastic coating it will all pull out just take time
Thanks for another great night!
Working smart AND safe!!
So many good finds keep it up mike
That (bag of plastic) was a bag full of oxygen tank handles and are the type needed for the tanks that fit the tank carts that you are donating, I know that they get lost easy and would make a great addition to the cart donation.
Think about donating the forks and such to a local senior center or moose lodge. VFW or legion club.
Your doing great Mike ,love your videos
The underwear will sell very well on Craig’s list or marketplace. I imagine the smalls are for small adults. Large children that are bed wetters can use them.
Nice one Mike!👍👏👏👏
Mike you are so funny,, love watching your videos
Mike that yellow Nylon strap strap it's strong enough to pull a car with its an inch wide very strong stuff easy to sell 1000 uses.
Mike have a good day and copper is almost $5. A pound.
Good job man 👍.love me some scrap!
That’s a damn big baby! 🤣🤣
Who the hell throws away perfectly good silverware??!! They should donate stuff like that!
Mikey reminds Me of a Gopher in soft dirt. LOL
The rool is for laying drywall mud and tape at the Sametime
LOL 😆 Baby Diapers..adult Diapers for small people..big damn baby. 🤣 I've never heard you curse..I so needed that laugh. Va or nursing home might take them. But I think you can also take to food banks. Love what you do ❤
