Dumpster Diving & Curbsiding "Motorcycle In This Dumpster!"
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.

The fact that Mike cruises around wearing heart shaped glasses and a camera strapped to his head recycling peoples scraps is one of the best facts ever

The fact that Mike is having fun, making money, and helping us is awesome. Hi from New Zealand just catching up on all the mans videos
Lol I love that he rocks the heart shades
The Tonka sand loader. It's from 1962, that model is a 616 in the condition it's in which is pretty good actually they normally sell between 60/120 dollars.

Nice Tonka find! The decals are in surprisingly good shape for such an old toy. Even without wheels, it's worth a few bucks. I still have the one my parents bought me 50 years ago.
Zero way I would have taken that filing cabinet. ICK. Mike is my hero.❤❤❤
This 62 yr. Old Lady smiles before even watching. Thanks for bringing the "stuff" & "such"!
Every time I walk up to a dumpster I say , WHAT WE GOT IN HERE YA'LL.
That drop leaf table looks to be old and in great condition. It's probably worth a little bit. And those vintage lawn chairs and Tonka toy. Great finds!!

The vintage chairs are worth money to collectors, but other than that, remove the steel rivots and scrap the aluminum clean, if you're scraping them.

That table might be worth more as is than if you refinish it, I'd check out the age before I touched😊
You left the seat and fairing for that little bike Mike you kept throwing it out of your way!
Hey Mike, some great finds. But I thought that Patti'O chairs were for Saint Patrick's Day. 🤣 Awoooo Yall 👊 👍 ✌️
"...ooga chucka...ooga chucka..." LOL!!!!!!!! Yer killin me.
Old-timer told me years ago when I was buying and selling a lot more back then that you should always check paintings. He told me that old timers from back in the day didn't really put their money in Banks they either hid it in books or pictures/paintings or buried it.
The sandloader is a real find. Just do a quick search and you'll find several on eBay. That drop leaf table is AWESOME. I want to see it after you or your wife have renovated it.
Every time you go dumpster diving, it's an adventure for you, because you always find something different every time!
People throw away the darnedest things. Great hunt Mike. Keep after them. Happy Hunting.
I’m laughing at the thought of Company Employees talking about some crazy guy in our dumpster talking to Himself.
Hey Mike, love watching you scrapping. And just for the record, I love it when you spend extra time, it seems more fun to me...keep it up!!👍👍👍
When Mike is curbsiding he reminds me of a bird of prey the way he sees his targets from a great distance then swiftly moves in for the kill can only be compared to the technique of the bald eagle or red tailed hawk 😮
Mike, look what you've done! You turned my 11 year old grandson into a scavenger freak. He sees something along the road and we have to check it out. My garage is turning into a cleaning and storage space. I wish I knew how to send you a pic or two of this place. Love your show

I love that little table that is so cute, love to see it after you fix it up.
Mike decoys are worth money. Especially vintage duck decoys
I went to go visit a friend yesterday and on the way home I saw a big open top. I had flip flops on and I jumped in and found a lot of good s c r a p p I t y scrap
I'm with everyone else, check those patio chairs. They may be vintage enough to be worth more than scrap. As always, it's a total pleasure to see a new video from you! 😊 Love tagging along with you. Stay safe and GOD bless
Mike rockin the pink heart sunglasses. 😃😎
The Aluminum chairs you found are worth good money on eBay
I love watching y'all doin your thing
Another Street Scrap and Dumpster Diving Adventure - Lots of Microwaves and such and we love that Small Wooden Table ! Tonka can be put on E-Bay ! Many Cheers from us in Australia !!!!
Come on Marcie..........BENCH!! I lost it there. Great video!
The invertor is for a solar panel They mount one on each panel. It changes the DC to AC. Each module is independent, and can communicate the output of the panel it is connected to.

I guess these microinverters are not as reliable as I thought. Or maybe someone cooked them under the panel with not enough ventilation.

With those being about $145 each I wonder how much money was left in the dumpster. I would think some finds you would want to Google if you don't know what they are.
If dumpster diving was a Olympic sport I think you be a favorite for gold. Thanks for the videos Mike
Loving those pink heart shaped sunglasses
You should never pass up any kind of dresser or drawers without inspecting them. Once I found 3 $100 bills taped underneath a nightstand drawer. Years later I found $1,300 tape to the bottom of a dresser underneath the last drawer. Obviously the people who threw them out didn't know what was in there. Probably someone passed away and their relatives just threw them out. So always pull out the drawers and check them before you pass them up.
Good sense of humor.I give it two thumbs ☝
You may want to start taking the lamp shades. I just shopped for one and they are going for more than I paid for the lamp years ago. $30-$50!
"Oh that's cute...looks like scrap." lmao Mike always cracking me up.

I remember as a kid playing with my brand new Tonka toys that I got for Christmas... it wasn't till years later as an adult that my dad told me he bought them all beat up and re painted them (he was a body mechanic for the city). My parents didn't have much. But us kids never knew that at the time.

I love your kind of humor and the way you're 💕
I haven't heard that "Ooga chucka" song in decades!🙃
Love the table..so happy you rescued it! My hubby is glad for warmer weather. Happy scrappin'
Hey Mike those black with metal backing devices with enphase on them you found, they are micro-inverters for solar panels.
On the tonka toy , the font of tonka will tell you when it was made. Cool finds!
Always showing off his pink Hollywood heart glasses
Real cute table..for a Timber project. Honey Iam home, look what I got.
Mike your hot pink heart shaped shades made my evening! Your subtle humor and music references are the best!
Great Job Mike, you always find the most unusual things. Keep up the awesome job. Love your channel. ❤️❤️❤️
Good day me son one dumpster at a time. Have a great day Mike
Love the Tonka toy !❤
If we all share Mike’s page with one friend we can get him to 395k!

Hey Mike good to see your doing well buddy
Great video! I couldn't just leave and NOT leave a comment. You work so hard to bring us a great video! Your quick wit and sarcasm is hilarious!
That little motorcycle looked in good shape. Do you think it may have been stolen? Do show us if you get it to work. I bet you'll try. ; )
You had a little time with that rug ...but got the bike ...now just watch you're head boy...😂😂😂
That Tonka toy is really old. I remember my brothers having one of them just like that, some 60 years ago.
I really enjoy watching your videos and wish they were longer.

Great Video as always! Sell those lawn chairs! Vintage lawn chairs get a good price on eBay. Good find on the sandloader too!
Your going to make me want to go dumpster diving
Mike I hope you had a wonderful good Easter.
Bro those pink glasses fix up man you make me lol so much your a good geezer 1 love from UK
Thank you for the video👍
You should overlay the transformers change up sound the next time you put up your truck bed walls
That struggle with the mini bike reminded me of anytime my kids try to do anything.
It’s always great to come back to watch your videos instead of watching the War Stuff,
Microwave ovens have a bunch of nice copper in the transformers and wires if you take the time to scrap them out. They don't take long to do.
Love your videos Mike 😍😍😍😍
When you need to bend some pipe stick it between your bumper and your frame. If you are at a regular dumpster I stick them in the place where the forks of the dumpster truck go to bend them.
Excellent scrap run street and dumpster five stars my friend thank you for sharing
is my birth da and this is the best birthday gift ever
Nice video Mike.I like that motorcikle.
