Dumpster Diving "It Was Under The Leftovers"
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.

This channel is double entertainment. What you find is interesting. What you say is hilarious. This is just proof that being yourself is the best way to be.
That sink would have been an awesome birdbath...
I am loving the close up picture of the wire!
Hey Mike …. I’m sick and are therefore re-watching your vlogs to make me happy 😊. Thank you for ALL YOU DO❤️ From helping to recycle, to thinking of others in need and taking the soap for donation. You ARE The REAL DEAL‼️❌⭕️❤️
It's crazy how much you've let your personality grow since you started! I was watching your videos from when you started and you were so quiet all the time and missed stuff but now you're so knowledgeable about all the different wires and types of scrap n such and you're playful n joke around and it makes for awesome content! I don't scrap or anything like that but you just have a way of drawing people in!

Aww!!! Thank you!
"Don't run from your feelings...." Mike cracks me up!! So much fun.
Hi Mike I know you here it all the time but I just love your videos and always look forward too them. Thank you Mike for making my day. ❤️
Good morning Mike I have taken those barrels put them in my garage and filled one with copper and one with brass and what a payoff it is when they're full. Nearly $5,000
Good morning, the reason why they say do not use that type of fire extinguisher in your home is because it is very corrosive. And I would recommend tying a scarf over your face the next time. Have a wonderful blessed weekend!
Awesome videos homeboy! I'm an older cat and live in a "legal state" if you catch my drift, anyways I love to get the bong out and enjoy your videos! Your hilarious dude! And seriously I can't believe what people throw out! I'm always interested in grow equipment!
I bet the employees of these companies love watching you .Great haul today .🍎🐧🐈⬛🦅👍🇺🇲

I work in retail and I LOVE it when people ask for things. I've become a scrapper due to all the metal shelves/portable coolers/freezers that we throw away.
You are my most favorite you tubeer. You always make me laugh. Keep them coming Mike.
Hey Scavengers! I started doing something with recyclables after learning a few things from Mike. I am an old lady so jumping into dumpsters is out but, everything we can possibly put into our recycle bins is done daily. I gift the metals I can't source because the build of an item is too complicated for my arthritic hands. These go into a collection for a not for profit group, they collect all year and turn the stuff into cash in the fall. But, after watching Mike, I can take apart things like fans and toasters that are ours of my 85 year old mothers. We are storing to take to the local scrap yard. This money goes to a wild life rescue group because that is where my heart is. I love animals and we do what we can to help them. Choose a place or group, choose what you will recycle and how much time you can give to it. If you are better off giving the metals away to a group or giving them cash instead and sending the recycle to your city service, go for it. It is rewarding too. If you have kids the whole thing can be a family thing or you can get your grandkids involved. Recycling is what will save this planet from eating itself up. Choose, refuse, reuse, recycle, repurpose, respect, restore and reap the rewards. Blessings to you and yours. Again, Thanks Mike!
Good morning Mike always glad to wake up and see another video from you...stay safe out there and watch your head 👍👍
Goodmorning Mike & Dottie, thanx4letting me in on the scavenging.
I love it when you have a truck full,,, My son and l save things,they pick up every two weeks,
Becareful Mike, those dumpsters are taking cheap shots at you today. Great scavenging video. Stay safe.
You touch ggrannys heart. The rescued soap..You always thinking about others....in this economy it's a blessing. You rock.
Congratulations 4 all you found to the number one dumpster diver of all times
Awesome Scavenger 👌 👏 👍 stay safe stay blessed stay amazing 👏 🙏 ❤️
Thank you Mike, the video was awesome. How are the fur babies doing? Have a great weekend and watch out for them hot dumpsters, stay frosty.😎👊🏻
That's funny " freinds and family, even the ones you don't like." Mike you are awesome!!! Always look forward to seeing your videos!!
Good day Mike, looks like another great dive. It still amazes me how much scrap you find. Keep up the great work you do. The soap was a great find also. Hope your Moms church can find homes for them. Stay safe Mike. Can't wait for your next video of the yellow wire.
Yes Mike, that is a submersible pump.
Hey Mike, just a few things, ( not being mean) that soap would be much appreciated at a women and children shelter. Also, every time I see you toss aside a wooden wire spool, I cringe. I love to craft, and I would bet dollars to donuts if you would put them up for sale, they would be gone in a flash! Crafters love wooden spools, almost any size. 😋 Another productive day there! Thanks for taking us along. Stay safe out there!

I do crafting too and cringe a little inside when he leaves the wooden spools behind.
Hi Mike, you need shin guards. Almost every jump out of the dumpster u hit your shins I’d love to see you hit up the BAT N BODY WORKS dumpster again
Love watching your videos and find myself laughing at your crazy conversations with yourself. Keep up the great work. This old lady enjoys your exuberance and energy. Be safe--watch your head!
Wow you did great!!! Have a great day Mike! 🙂👍🙂🎸
You can take the well pump back and get a core price for it cuz they can be restored
Mike Thank you for making the videos and showing us all the goodies for find.
Every time I watch one of your videos I go from, "Should I take a nap right now?" to "I'm going to pause this and go work in the garage for a while!". You're a great motivator, Mike! Thanks for the kick ass videos, and for making us all laugh in the process. Keep up the good work! :)
Great video today thanks Mike lots of things saved from the landfill looking forward to the next one with the wire 😀 👍 😄 😎
To the "amateurs" dumpster guys; Mike's a professional dumpster-lightener. Re soap: homeless shelters and food banks never turn that stuff down. The food banks don't ask for it, but if you run across free cleaning supplies they'll cheerfully take them off your hands!
you can't help but to like this guy he cracks me up with some of the stuff he comes out with
Its like dumpster diving with paulie shore! I like it!
Stuff!! All gravy!! Thanks Mike!
Hi Mike another beautiful day for dumpster diving Enjoy your hard work attitude Stay safe out there bro Regard to your family ✊💰👍
the hand slip with the punch sound when handling the shelf parts... priceless! it reminded me of all the times my grip failed and I punched myself in the face. Never pull a wrench toward your face, always push away. You'll thank me later.
You did well today MTS. There’s plenty there to keep you busy for a while.
Watch every morning with my coffee ☕

Way to brave that Texas heat for the cause MTS! Nice haul!
That cracked me up, the box that said "It's what's inside that counts". Yes. Yes, it is.
Looks like a great haul. Have a great day!
The county should be paying divers for helping keep things out of the landfills!
Good morning Mike! Saturday's delight. Thanks, enjoyed it.
So much fun to watch you mike, people throw so many things the soap has no expire date.Hello from Montreal.Quebec.Canada
My favorite time of day catching a new mts video life is good
Mike, so good of you to redistribute the soap products and shoes to needy people. Stars in your heavenly crown. Wishing you and your lady a blessed week, gentle weather and restful evenings. Peace brother
Another epic episode., thank you Mike I absolutely love to watch you doing your thing. Keeping things from going to landfill. You are a ⭐️
How can anyone not love this guy, He`s AWESOME
You are a man after my own heart mike, taking time to grab some stuff that you can donate to someone more needy, my hat is off to you and your efficascy
You got yourself a clean sweep of awesomeness
Lol, You're alot of fun to watch Mike. That was a really awesome run. Hope you make a lot, you do work really hard. Thanks, Ben
You the man Mikey!!
Obviously all good scrap, the AC part at 16:10 looked like the evaporator section for a restaurant walk in cooler/freezer.
Love the soap haul.💯👍

The store is probably changing brands and had to clear the shelves of the old brand.
Those black rings look like bezels for old school can lights
You always make me laugh out loud! So glad I found your channel, all those years ago.
Have a nice day mike
So glad that you saw the fire extinguisher powder before you jumped in. That could have been real bad. Another great video. Stay safe and God Bless
Thanks for another great video bro
I've found that the frames for Office Cubicle panels are often made of extruded aluminum. Heavy duty stuff. I've also discovered that some of the solid surface panels are made with alumaply, a high density fiberboard with laminated aluminum sheet surfaces. You might want to double check some of those office dividers next time you find some. Thanks for all the vicarious thrills. Keep up the good work.
I've been watching your first episodes and you are so much better now. Love watching
I like what ya do bro keep up the good work awesome channel watch it every day
always fun to watch
Great haul buddy watch your Eyeball!!
Still digging your "tubes",in scrapping and your part in reducing waste in the landfill and putting some $"cha--ching"in your pockets $$‼️
Lmao 🤣 your ambition helps me to get motivated for work, thank you for the uplifts 😁🥰
I can't believe that there are people in one of the greatest industrial country like the USA working in collecting recycling materials like iron and copper ..I really astonishe!!
looks like a good night . that soap score was great !
Why is this so interesting and entertaining?
Great start to my Saturday. Some hot coffee and the Scavenger playing on my tv. #watchyohead
Hi Mike, thank you for saving the soap, lots of places need these, like churches for their rest rooms, homeless shelters, and just giving them to friends. You are a great scraper, saving the earth one scrap at a time, yes.👍🏻👍🏻🧓🏻 👁👁🛻🎊🎉🎊 🌜🌝🌛

Great haul today, you just make my day. Thanks for being you
I have learned my lesson when I see scrap just wait till the store's are closed and get it. My grandsons asked at tractor supply store they where happy for us to come get the old shelf. Those boys just can't wait to see your videos. Ya'll take care 🙂
Thanks for the entertainment Mike. I look forward to watching the videos. I’ve been watching since you had about 1,200 subs. Now you’re over 420,000. Also, I definitely didn’t expect “get you in the boo boo”. I’m still laughing at that one!
Guten Abend aus Germanii. 👍👌💪💵💰
Mike, I heard that congratulations are in order. I didn't think you would actually do it. It took you quite some time to make up your mind but you finally did, I'm so happy for you. Again, congratulations. You have a lot of fans over here in Thailand. Everybody watches ol' Mike. They say, Mike is full of surprises. They're right. Mike, what made you finally decide to go ahead and buy it. Many folks didn't think you would but you fooled all of us. Did you get a good price? Did you have to go along way to buy it. Let us know all the details, OK. Can't wait to see it. What color is it? Have a nice day. And "May the four winds of Esther'" bless you and your wife.
Hey Mikey!!!… that office stuff you found there’s a white round thing with a plug that’s a coffee cup warmer to keep the cup warm when you drink coffee so it won’t get cold. I found 1 a long time ago it works.
Another excellent video. Your a brave man Mike. I would definitely be wearing long pants while doing what you do. I know it's probably hot outside but for my safety it would be worth it.
