Dumpster Diving & Curbsiding "AWESOMELY CRAZY!"
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 love watching you scavenge reminds me of back in the 70's when I was a kid here in the UK we used to go to the local dump and riffle through bags and boxes and find jewellery, small antiques and allsorts of little treasures, I got quite a few quid doing that, it was like treasure hunting. Love your vids, cheers Mike.

Mike, when you started to feel up those garbage bags i literally laughed so hard. You have turned scrapping and dumpster diving into a real comedy show. Keep it up sir. Love the content
Mike, I think you are the best scrapper on KZread as your videos never get stale. We follow you because you are honest, think of others, your empathy and understanding and how you always find a way to give us a good laugh like the sounds when you broke those fan blades off
Thank you Mike, you always clean up and you speak to people when they are outside. You are courteous and I enjoy watching you. Used to watch a couple other scrappers too. First time they leave a mess I'm done with them. Have learned lots from you. Keep on scrapping!

I had to return a microwave I purchased at Lowe's because it wasn't the right size to fit the space. Left in car so a employee would lift it out and went in did the return and got the right one. The salesman came out side and because of covid he put a sticker on the box and cut an x across the bar code and told me to dispose of it because they couldn't take back in store. I sold it on market place

Mike. You should consider getting a Tommy lift for your truck. Your back will only last so long and the tommy lift can stay out for those last large items.

I second that, a Tommy lift would help you lift alot of stuff mike, and would pay for itself in the long run.
As you were putting that microwave box into your car, that IKEA commercial was running through my mind with that lady screaming "Start the car", I was screaming "Mikeee start the carrrr"! 😂😂
Holy screaming, ceiling fans...lol... I love Mike, the Scavenger videos. They make me laugh in this messed-up world 🌎 🤣 Thank you 😊
Lmmfao 🤣😂 I thought I was tripping when I started hearing the screaming.. I got up and looked out my windows lmmfao 😂🤣🤣 now that was hilarious good one ninja Mike
I love the screaming ceiling fans 😂😂
Thank you for being so nice taking blades from fans with u makes me happy happy day to see nice people in the world instead of leaving behind a mess 😀❤️
Mike, we would love to meet you sweet wife and parents one day! I know that they are really proud of how many people absolutely love you and having you in our lives! Lease!💕

Well done mikey I love watching you , you are the best thanks man xxxxxxx
Grill,grill,grill,grill,grill.🐎🌻✌️. Fireworks tonight in my hometown. Start of Kentucky derby festival.🎉
Princess Bride was so funny, you gave me a good laugh buddy, lol.❤
Omg the fan blades screaming as you break them off! Priceless
I love finding old TVs…the older they are, the more copper they have on the yoke. I also het a lot of copper from components on the boards. I turn the picture tubes in to my local waste container site; it’s illegal to throw electronics in the trash in my county, but people do it anyway, which I profit from. Old monitors and TV picture tubes contain lead and phosphorus gas, which is why TVs and monitors aren’t supposed to be thrown in the trash.
Microwave 👍🏾Awesomeness
I don't know why but always and I mean always that the sound of the breaking of the ceiling fan blades is so satisfying. I think I heard smurfs
Mike that laser scientific has some very interesting items including those canisters youeft behind.

Mike I just had one of your crazy scrapping day. I wound up with 3- (10') aluminum poles and eill be making an Amateur Radio tripod. I did come across brand new sump pump and washing machine discharges hoses. Saves me from going out and purchasing them from Lowes. I even found a sears 14.4 vdc drill kit with the charger and 2 batteries. Batteries need to be rebuilt and can do that. What I didn't realize was tge pool pump is the same one for my well pump. I went to go back but someone else has it. Mike have a good weekend. PS my day started at 4AM and finished at 2 PM...
“Marshall Amp, You get to ride up front!” 😂😂😂
I'm ''diggin'' the extra sound effects!!
That's awesome! I just scored 12 servers the other day after work. Along with all the wires/cables! $100 for 10 minutes work!
Wow! You have the BEST content on U tube. Some great finds! That little tote of gold, I mean dirty brass 😋, a “new” microwave!??! Wow! Good scrapping! Thanks for taking us along. And as always, be safe out there!
Best move ever made, the princess bride.
Mike! Man I smoked briefly back in 1990-91 but everyone smoked camel and man did I collect those bucks. I had t-shirts, duffle bags, lighters, matches. Tons of stuff. Loved getting free stuff from camel. And man a Lot of that stuff is collectable now and worth a little bit. Stay safe out there and keep making us great videos!
Yeah, I remember the camel bucks. Had a jacket, still have camel stuff. New microwave in the box...got to wonder. Thanks for sharing

I loved the added screams with the blades breking off fab xxxxx
You're a real sweetheart for being picky about which cords you cut. Makes me cry when I come up with a cool vintage item and the cord is cut.
Excellent scrap run you are getting popular with people so they leave you stuff five stars my friend thank you for sharing
I love how you work you work real fast and you edit well so that we don't get a lot of boring in between stuff although if you're as funny in between dumpsters and trash piles as you are when you're cleaning them out you could probably leave some of that in too
I remember when you were jumping in dumpsters & throwing all that scrap around looking for other stuff & leaving all that money behind. Come along way since then. Ty for taking us along
Money money money money money you are the money maker. GREAT VIDEO AS ALWAYS
Thumbs up for the Princess Bride reference alone
There is a long fat piece of #2 copper that goes clear around the screen of those older tube televisions. It’s pretty easy to get out.
Those Joe Camel tank tops were the bomb!
I like seeing the good old tornado Mike scrapping 😁
😅 the Princess Bride! Classic
Mike I love seeing you hit them dumpsters deep and hard. Lol. Thanks for the laugh.
Allways great to get a video feed from You Mike✌🏻👍🏻🎇
Truck full of miscellaneous scrap! Nice treasure hunt! 👍👌💵
I have one of those little Marshall amp. Those little suckers are LOUD!! Quality may not what you expect but it's LOUD!! Keep up the great work!!
The ceiling fan blades screaming LOL.
Brilliant Street Scrapping and Dumpster Diving - Tonight it was Electronics Night - some real Great Stuff - wow ! Looking forward to the Follow-Up ! Cheers from us in Australia !!!!
Shoutout when on top of the big dumpster.."King of the hill"!!! lmao
That laser cryomist is used with laser tattoo removal. It extracts heat from the skin before the laser is pulsed
For those who are curious the Edge VR80 units are network video recorders used in large scale video surveillance systems.
Good job on the broken fan blades Mike! LOVE you Video's too!
Impressive score as usual. Can't wait for the follow up.
Mother Earth loves ya!!!
Right on! This was a good haul for you Mike! Be safe out there! Peace to all....♥︎
Camel bucks and Marlboro miles!! Yes sir, we had their shirts,hats, and backpacks. You’re showing your age “young man”! Keep picking 👍🏻
I'd love for you to make a wind chimes out of those little pieces
Brilliant 👏🏻👌🏻
The microwaves look like the magnuts were taken out of them. That usually requires some demolition.
🇲🇾🇲🇾🇲🇾🇲🇾🇲🇾 i'm from Malaysia.......good scrap
Hey Nacho Stuff here you go Mike the Scavenger found some fans for you
Love you videos Mike , I so look forward to seeing you take care 🇬🇧🇬🇧💗💗
Nice 👍 1 Mike scrappy scrappy y'all
Guten abend aus germanii. 👍 👌 💪 💰 💵
You can’t beat a bit of Peter Cook 🤪
Mike love watching your videos, but remember a penny is like a dollar take them both love ya brother.
Mikey, Mikey, Mikey, you always need to have that Pollyanna happy disposition. Always have that happy go lucky attributes! Ever think you're being tested by Him? Later on you will find great stuff. And always remember there will be finds and greater finds. Always give thanks of the finds even its not much. Still awesome adventures of the somewhat unknown. That makes it exciting! Has anyone hear from the freeisbetter86 couple?
Good work👍👍🥰🥰
FYI Mike,You were grabbing the parts inside that TV with wreckless abandon! That area is where you want to stay away from on the inside of an old CRT TV. IT CAN KILL YOU even after sitting unplugged for years. Be careful my friend... Great videos! Thanks you...
Ohhhhhh wow can't wait to watch this epic post.....
Helpful hint on those CRT tv's there is a big wire usually copper that runs around the picture tube (I think it is for degaussing) that and the cone on picture tube makes it worth busting them up.. Thanx Mike for another great video and such...
@steviebboy69

Yes there were 2 actually one was on the neck used for deflection, and around the back there was degaussing, so a reasonable amount of good copper in those.

Felicitări Mike.Bonas Noces.
Old CRT TV’s use a vacuum and n the tube, nothing toxic inside, only a large copper coil that all other scrappers take away
Afternoon Mike. Hope its a great day for you.
Yeah a bit of Peter Cook and Princess Bride !!
🤣a funny scavenger guy and cool too🤩
Those looked like cleaning personnel ending their night shift. My friends owned a SERVICEMASTER franchise and they cleaned a lot of offices and stores at night.
you are the MAN BIG MIKE SUCH A HARD WORKER !!! DON G NAPLES FL
Dude I love the princess bride Reference. 🤣🤣😅
Very nice diving session... Love that last item you scored fer sure... God bless
YES LEAD AND MERCURY IN THOSE OLD TV
Love all your videos bro I just recently subscribed I'm binge watching all your videos good shit keep it up bro
LOL screaming fan blades Mike you are so funny
Awesomeness!!! You'll have to tell us if it works!
You a wizard,harry!
Hey Mike I work for a company that makes the #1 rated hitch sold. 100 % made right here in the USA. And it's not the Bulletproof Hitch 🙃
I would love to see if that microwave is new. I don’t think so. Because when stainless steel appliances are new they have that plastic film on them to keep them from getting scratched. But you never know. The other 2 microwaves shows what happens when you forget and put aluminum foil in them and it starts a fire and you grab it and throw it outside to keep it from burning the house down. 😂🤣😂🤣🤣🤣😂😘 But those look like after you threw them out you jumped up and down on them. 🤣😂😂😂😂. We know that Mighty Mike and darling Dottie will get to the bottom of it. Stay safe and God Bless
Good Afternoon My Good Bro Mike The Scavenger
Tip, put the end with the wheels in first.
So reminds me of Oscar the grouch on Sesame Street popping up out of the dumpster when people come by. ❤️ your channel!
