Dumpster Diving "Doin' The Needful"
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!

Don't Ever STOP Saying... "Watch yo heeeaaad"! Never gets old! 😁
I got to admit this guy is addictingly entertaining 😆 it's a shame I don't live around him I saw a dumpster today half-filled with old pallet jacks and I can't believe they're now throwing boxes of masks away but not that long ago had to spend a fortune online to find them

Awesome! Thank you!
All those "smalls" are the kind of things I love sorting through too. Get yourself a drink and a magnet and it's hours of fun.
Brilliant as usual! Mike please do a follow up of you processing that haul.
I got addictive to your videos. I can't believe how much good stuff people throw away.

Just what the doctor ordered while I'm home getting over this cold. Thanks Mike!
It still blows my mind what people pitch. Thanks for letting us tag along. Cheers from Wisconsin!
This dive was Very Aesthetically Pleasing.
You're the narcotic of videos! I could sit here and watch videos like this one all day long! Lolololol! Keep up your awesome work, Mike!
Best of the best.other scrappers don t come close.. so much fun to watch.😊
Good stuff Mike. Brass, copper! I love when you find the good stuff that can be recycled and not wind up in a landfill. 👍👍👍👍🙂
Mike Mike Mike!!! Thanks for taking us along!!!! I appreciate you so much!!! Stay safe stay great!!! Keep up the good work!!!

I finger test my taint stank at those times of day.
Really nice haul of smalls, that will definitely all add nice weight at the scale.
Good afternoon Mike. Congratulations. What a haul. So many treasures to choose from - what a jackpot, what a score in all those boxes and containers in that dumpster. Fortunately, none of those items in those cardboard boxes appear to be edible items.
Go Mike Go. So many dumpster so little time.
Wow Mike, you scored some great stuff today. You prolly already looked it up but that Neewer bag looked like a large selfie light. And that was a good loking tripod in that bag. We need a followup video for this load.
The dumpster you found the neewer is a ring light and the tripod goes with it. A lot of youtubers use them.
I'll bet ol'boy hits a lot of dumpsters in a year. Some of them look familiar from his other videos but I bet he is always on the hunt for new ones. Keep them coming.

I have seen him comment that he hits about 70 dumpsters per night on his regular route and has hit up to 200 on some nights, I wouldn't be surprised if he spends 4-5 hours editing each video he uploads.
I just loved this one Mike. I' m always hoping that you find more of the best. Things that make you squeal. You' re so funny. Lol. You keep us all entranced. Thanks! Watching it late, what a great way to relax and end the evening.
Love your fun videos ❤!! You are so funny and I have learned a lot watching your videos!!
Mike, this was a real haul of smalls as Frank and Mike would say.
The answers to all of life's questions are found in a dumpster in Texas.... no wonder no one finds the answers! 😉😂 If it's in a dumpster MTS will find it! You found some great stuff tonight. Glad you kept that white half barrel, it will come in handy. Thanks for taking us along as you get in the down and dirty. Stay safe and GOD bless
Always a pleasure watching your show
Thanks for taking us on another great trip! Where'd you get that awesome magnet? Appreciate you Mike!

That was an awesome trip! That brass, stainless and copper adds up really fast! Great couple of dumpsters to add to the treasure map for sure! Awesome trip!!!! Keep up the energy and kick butt Mike!
What a great video!! Loved how your magnet picked up the cardboard box of metal stuff.
Good Afternoon My Good Bro Mike The Scavenger
You are the most industrious person I've ever seen Mike. God Bless Ya!
The 21:00 dumpster with the Swagelok parts represented a fair chunk of change if you were buying all those items new. Swagelok does make good stuff. We used them and Valco depending on the application. I liked both.
A lot of good ISH in the dumpsters today!!
Always awesome in your neck of the woods. Looks like a lot of stuff for the spaceship.
13:34 First you found a tripod from the Lego dumpster, now you found a ring light! Vlogging to the max! And, oh: you found another tripod in that dumpster.
Legos are soo worth taking because they are such an universal toy and will be popular for thousands of years. The best part is no matter how old it is, it will fit and you can build something amazing :3!
Awesome haul Mike. You have a great day. 😎👊🏻
Good video as usual. The answer to life, the universe, and everything is "42"
Cool stuff today Mike.👍👍💯
A friend of mine sold his lake home and he gave me permission to take anything I wanted…I went mike the scavenger in that house🤣
Mike I love that you love what you do 💕 Cause I love what you do my days would be terrible if I didn't have You I love you Mike 💞

Man nice to be back, those three weeks I was in KZread jail sucked but I will always speak truth. I watched 4 vids yesterday not sure how many I have left to catch up on but I'll savor them they keep til the next.
This was awesome finding all the scraps and such 😊
Every time I see Mike push a dust pan aside. I’m yelling take it take it. The dust pans in my house disappear on a regular basis. Like other people loose socks
Te apreciez foarte mult Mike.
I too would love to sort all of that into catagories so I can relate to your love of sorting. Happy Holidays.
I went dumpster diving today and found a $50 water cooler
Most definitely excellent video with great content thank you for sharing this with us six stars brother
Between the non-ferrous and my favorite LEGO score a very great evening.
Love the dumpsters after the trade shows. All that stuff leftover can’t be taken on the plane ride home so they scrap everything!😅😊
Champion a new video from the Man 👍❤️💛💚
I'm glad I'm getting ur newer videos now ,ur zest for everything gives me a lift brother thank you so much love and blessings 💚💚💚
Not me screaming 'its a filming ring light ' 😂😂😂😂😂
Thanks Mike. You always cheer me up.
Mike you are my favorite watch,you earn every penny.keep it up I'll keep watching,bored in illinois.
Great finds Mike 😀👍❤️❤️
Nice job Mike! I like finds like that too.
Another great haul from the dumpster I do a little bit of scrapping got a washer and a mini fridge anyway thanks for sharing Mike

I’ve always wondered why people don’t destroy important and sensitive paperwork before throwing it out if they’re afraid of it being found…cuz can u really trust the waste management company with that info as well…dumpster divers aren’t the only ones who get into the trash…what I’ve seen at my local dump is the people sorting the material brought in…so paperwork gets seen by the workers as well lol…and have u ever seen them dump the big cans? I’ve seen them dump them into the truck and had paperwork and paper shred fly off everywhere many many times lol…

Grabbed myself four boxes of old 90s style ceiling lights on the side of the road this past week. All brass with aluminum bases. I was pretty happy.
Awesome run, Mike, and congratulations on knocking on 460k subs!
That's some quality stuff mike!
The bag with Neewer is a ring light for photography. I believe.
Way to go mike 👍. You scored again. Woo hoo.🎉
Wow! I'm jealous of your dumpsters Mike. Look at all that Yard Sale stuff! I guess they don't have recycling over there. Love the content, always coming back to see what you do next. Add the pups in your videos for even more views wife says.
Love your philosophy "What is that? Let's grab it"
Just finished up watching all of your videos yesterday, so it was nice to open up youtube and see a new video dropped today!
Thank you 😊
I wish more people were like you. Tearing up that check. My mom was not so lucky they took 75dollars.
You the man. ❤️💙
Really enjoyed your video. God bless you 👍
Fun day!!!
This is way better than anything on TV., Mike you could sell your forearm space to advertisers.
I love when you find brass and other non ferrous fittings. Can't wait for the follow up video! ❤️ From the Metroplex
I can feel it calling in the dumpster tonight. Scribbits!
This one was super satisfying. Thanks Mike
Sitting here at 7.00am London time with my second Espresso of the morning watching you pull out a Neewer video/photo light with, a few seconds later, the matching stand! I know, I have the self same unit! Alright! Alright! Alright! 👊👊👊
Very aesthetically pleasing.... tooooo funny!!
You rock Mike!!!
NEWEER IS A LIGHT FOR PHOTOGRAPHY
Total pleasure 👍
I can't believe what people throw away. I admire your work ethic, and you are in great shape, allowing a very fast pace work schedule. This video also inspired a deep political thought about hard working, individuals prospering in a free capitalistic society verses communist or deep social states. Thanks for the entertainment and thought provoking activity so early in my day.
There are other dumpster divers on You Tube, but yours stands out. I love the constant chatter about what you find. Here in the UK we have 'skips', mainly outside house renovations. Good stuff to be had. Keep up the good work.
I think if you take the circle thing out it is likely a light ring for photography.
Love your videos Mike!
Love watching you Mike ❤great scavenger hunting today 😊hope you are doing well
Definitely want to see a follow-up video after this
One thing is certain Mike you will never run out of plumbing stuff ha ha
Does anyone else miss the old bmx dumpster runs ?
SCAM WARNING - Hey Mike I am retired and have watched almost all of your diving. You are the champ diver. Hardly a dive goes by that I don't see something I would like to play with. Got a notice from a site that looked like your site informing me that I had won a prize. WOW, was I thrilled until I realized that I had seen Nothing of a contest or drawing on any of your Diving videos. Later saw a warning issued by another U2r about this scam. (Shed happens) Keep it up. I love your work
You got it Mike
I'm a big fan of your channel. big hug from Brazil
Mike I have been worried about you getting lost in one of those dumpsters. I was so glad to see you getting your bearings in todays vid..
Those Neewer lights are over $100. Happy Holidays!
Hey Mike love me some MTS, scrapy scrap my friend
I'm waiting to see a big pole like that randomly utilized as a makeshift dancing pole before being thrown in the back of dottie 😆
