Dumpster Diving "Gumbo & Coffee"
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. Be sure to stay subscribed to stay up to date with my latest expeditions, y'all!

back in the 80s i use to work in Houston.. doing office building re models and build outs ,where we would knock down the walls ..and rebuild the whole floor to different floor plans,,when we would demo out the old walls and doorways ,,we would save all the scrap aluminum from the doorways it was called Raco and wire snibits.. we kept it seperate from the dumpster with the old sheet rock..and after the end of the demo.. we had about 1000 bucks worth after we went to the recyclers ,and we would have a company picnic at and BBQ with the money,,keg o beer ..etc
Yes it was a total pleasure. Thanks Mike!
Greetings Mike. Blessings blessings blessings. PLEASE be CAREFUL. Be safe,healthy &blessed always family

Hello from the Chicagoland area!
Wow wow wow, you never give up, and you always find it, you don't half make a noise, I hold my breath waiting for someone to come up and move you on,
I love watching you dumpster diving different things you say reminds me of my family in Louisiana
First, I love watching all your episodes and have been a loyal fan for over a year. Second, it's kinda sad to see so many big dumpsters full of cubicles and office stuff. It usually means that office has closed. Since Covid started here in early 2020, I've been working from home and waiting to get to go back to my office. I miss the people. But now I wonder if we will just continue working from home like so many others. It's becoming a way for companies to really save money, for sure. Once they found out how productive people can be working from home. Thanks for all the entertainment, Mike! Keep these videos coming!
Mike...watching and listening to you work it...makes me tired. 😩😩😩😩😩😩😩
Today, my next door neighbor had a new furnace, AC unit and water heater installed. I was hoping to score the copper tubing, but alas, the installers loaded it into their truck at the end of the job. But I did ask for it! All I got was 2 small pallets to stack my firepit wood on! Oh, well. You tickle my funnybone with your sayings and mutterings. It it ALWAYS a total pleasure to watch you keep stuff out of the landfills! Scrap on!
Your crazy but in a great way 😜 Keep em coming..... Enjoy watching your videos
The Soundcraft power supply you picked up belongs to a mixing desk ,a expensive one too and to boot it looks vintage as the logo changed in the mid 80s ,studios still use them warm analogue desks and if it works it might be worth a few bucks to keep them running ,I lived down the road from the factory that built the desks ,we even went there on a school trip watching them build a mixing desk for soul to soul ,great episode Mr Scavenger👍👍
Dude I just found your channel. I love it! I'm the guy at work always pulling shit out that people throw away. One mans trash is another mans treasure!! Keep scrappin buddy!!
Best wishes from Hertfordshire UK ....

Some unassembly required!
Those oxygen units are made in Canton GA. Well some of them are. They have aluminum cylinders in them full of sieve. Pour some water on the sieve and watch it get hot. Don't have it in your hand though, because it gets HOT! My wife works there where they build them. Pour the sieve out and you got some good aluminum to sell.
Hi mike watching you finding stuff! I'm in bed with herniated disc in my back. You've cheered me up lot 🤗. Kept rolling out videos please I will be watching them all even the old ones. Take care watch your head!. Your the best. Julie from Lancashire in UK.🐕xxx

Hope you’re better now. Good old Lancashire, that’s where I’m from originally. 👍👍
you got to dig to hit the gold!
I’m embarrassed to admit how much I look forward to your videos! 🤦🏼♀️ I’m a fairly recent subscriber, and I’ve already watched your backlog of videos, so everyday I look forward to seeing a new one! You deserve everything you make on resell and scrap, you’re undoubtedly, the hardest working scrapper I’ve seen on KZread. Keep up the good work, Mike! ✌🏼❤️
Back on the hunt! Good old Mike The Scavenger!! Rack em up yall!
Cubicle, says I'm not dragging that out'....proceeds to dig it out... 😆
I used to buy the stainless back panels out of commercial kitchens to use on different projects from the local scrap dealer... Made good light bars for semi trucks and other things
Watch out for dumpster tigers! I heard they hadn’t found that one on the west side of Houston.
You and that cubicle! Remarkable!
My mother is 76 love watching you every day you make her laugh and smile she's even said she feels she's helping you she feels exhausted there's one thing she doesn't understand why you don't use back brace to protect you and why you don't where a mask and she worries you don't protect your knees from all the jumping lol she's worries as if you were her own she has turned me on to your videos thankyou for making my mother happy
'he he he...bott-tom!!....*giggle*' You crack me up Mike 😁💕
I went out on my 1st scrap hunt 2day in a long time m8 and it's thanks to u brother

There is almost zero chance that all that paperwork should have been tossed out without having been shredded by the former owner. HIPAA, privacy concerns etc...just seeing that annoys me to no end.

You are SO VERY VERY FUNNY! Great Score 😁💗 FROM El Paso Strong ♥️ TEXAS
Scrap Happy Mike 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
Sorry for the loss of your dog! Just straight up sucks losing a pet!🐾👍❤
Thought you might want to see this about the Philips CPAP devices you found. Love watching ya!
Good job and nice video
Mike, that pillow would work FANTASTICALLY to use so the dumpster door rim doesn’t hurt so bad when you’re leaning into it to grab things. Lay it across the rim and it won’t hurt! Roger in Pierre South Dakota
Really great trip for scrap!
Another great video as always you don't disappoint see you next video
They picked up the whole office!
Omgosh I love watching you, always making me laugh. Stay safe Mike
The oxygen machines could be testers they run them to check they are calibrated to put out the amount of oxygen you need
Mikey just keeps working.
Get that scrappy and stack that scrappy cash
Yes! 🤩😍
Bubble wrap needs to be BAND! They make peanut shape packing now made from corn so it's biodegradable.
Ohhhhhhh the bubble wrap.... my precious
Grande Mike!!!!
Good haul!

*its from loondoon* man I was laughing way to hard at that 😂😂
You could sell the refrigerator door shelf fronts. They are not cheap & crack after a just a few years so people look for them. Dont mean the whole panel, just the little plastic shelf bar.
Mike: there's a cubicle. I'm not digging it out. (Proceeds to dig it out)
He just says random stuff all the time. Cracks me up.
Respect in india🇮🇳🇮🇳🇮🇳🇮🇳
Yes sir you got some scrap making that bank😎🤟.

Hey Mike just a tip. If you see an open top behind a buccees you should be quick. They just ran me off from the one in melissa, I got the good stainless first before they came out lol.
Bubba is scavenger strong. 💪
That's what being buried in paperwork looks like!
Great video Mike Keep them coming, I enjoy all of the, your the only one I watch. Hope the family is doing great....bird1959🇺🇸

I am from London, born and raised. But there are, loads of counties around us . not to mention actual countrys in great Britain as a whole and we are called England, Ireland, Scotland, Wales. people mostly speak of London and know very little of the rest, maybe it's because we have the queen near by. but anybody wanting to come here to visit do try our regions counties and our historic countries. please do you will be more than welcome. :-)
