Dumpster Diving "Save The Planet!"
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'm guessing they are all damaged and found to not be repairable. The lens surface coatings probably got scratched by technicians who tried to clean them the wrong way. So maybe worth $50 each to an optical salvage company.

@@darkwood777 You are probably right, but we have seen time and again all the perfectly discarded supplies Mike has found so you never know!
The irony of a recycle bin in the garbage.
Tryed to watch other scrap channels and they just don't have the charisma and ability to keep your attention Keep up the great work

Mike I’ve tried watching other diving shows, but none had your personality, your goofiness, and for letting others see into your work!! Your show relaxes me, as I’m in constant body wide pain…. Thanks Mike, for helping a 64 yr widow feel better!! 😅
Mike I would never laugh at you! You work SO hard! But watching with the barrels and steel rolling away got me!😅😊❤

Happens a lot, people will walk away from me because they thought I was talking to myself, when in reality I was narrating for whoever I'm on my phone with or recording for. Works for me though, they probably didn't have anything positive to say anyways.

Imagining someone watching Mike chasing down by the pipe and hearing him swab the deck😂.
The OptoVue lenses are for a special type of laser scanning camera to measure retinal thickness at the back of the eye. I am shocked to see those in the dumpster.
Good evening Scavengers. Let's tag along with Mike on his journey.
Those kettle salt & vinegar chips are 👍👍👍👍👍I would have grabbed ALLof them

I agree with you, Mike should have grabbed all of the snacks and taken them home for himself and his wife to snack on while watching tv

I have boxes and boxes of those Kettle crisps at my house, they are a few months from being out of date, but I paid for them from a wholesale place, they sell stuff that's 1 year from being out of date, even some stuff is past it's date, but tastes no different.........However some stuff that's out of date, you can taste it straight away......Just be careful .
You can take those design leaves on a fan and make something beautiful out of it for the side of your house or in your house on the wall they do make good art walls
I wanted to see you pick up the barrels. 😂 good show
You know with the cost of an artificial Christmas tree seems weird that so many people throw them away.

They actually do get kinda weird after a few years. They stop fluffing properly or the lights stop working and all the “needles” start falling off.
hi scavengers of the world!
another great day of scrapping. Thanks for taking us along. I would love to see a scrapyard run to see about all that steel. 😊
4:53 Each of those cardboard drums are worth $25.00 each!!! EACH!!! 💸💸💸💸💸💸💸💸💸
When you shut the lid on that one dumpster ,I thought i must be crazy.🤣🤪😜
If Mike's scrapping, I'm watching! Thanks for another great video.
I've scrapped a couple water fountains myself amd one had a copper holding tank coiled with copper. Make sure you break it down.
Hey Mike ol buddy you need this Snow I've got here in Kentucky down there with you today , it's 28 here and Snowing😊😊😊
You had me going, Mike, when you found the wires. Lol.
I think you need a pair of bibed fishing waiters. Lol Thanks for taking us along, Mike.
I had to laugh about you and the barrels. You just could win. When you loaded some in the one while still in the dumpster, I thought, he won't be able to lift it, but you won the tonnage.
Mike~~~Those pieces of metal LOOK & SOUND HEAVY when you were throwing them in that CARDBOARD Container! If you LIFT that up and put it in your truck You BE THE MAN!!!
The one tote Mike found in the dumpster looked like a litterbox at first. Probably smelled like it too. I'd probably have taken the rest of the pork rinds and dumped them out where the trash pandas could get them. Gotta feed the wildlife!
Funny, find a blue recycle can and use it for gathering recyclables! As Always, May God Bless you and yours! 😇
Mike the Scavenger shenanigans! Keep them coming 😏
Big ole heavy rods and cracklins SCRAPS 😮😮😮
Scrappity Scrap, Scrap!! Gotta Be Strong!! Have a blessed one Brother Mike!
You're a real stand up guy....those barrels on the other hand....
Scrap On! with some heavy pipes...Yay! Stay safe...
Happy Monday Mike
Love your channel
Good haul today. Congratulations, Mike!
Always a pleasure to watch , your so funny but walking on the edge of that dumpster makes me feel like your gonna fall. Thanks again Mike 😊😊
Mike’s made for the streets!
What a great result only problem filling up quickly it makes for shorter videos😅😂😅😂
them chips r SOOOO goood
Mike that was nothing short of epic, loved all that heavy steel but my God the way you swept that deck in the last one, all I could hear was the swashbuckle song as you did it🤣👍
Yes Mike!
Many daily blessings 👍🤓👍✨
Yay! Another Mike the Scavenger video. 🎉

@MyCracker1234 I have been watching his videos for out 3 years i
You could have put all the stuff in one or two of the lights and slid it over. I love your videos, I think I have watched every one.
First, follow from Bosnia and Hercegovina. You make nice and original videos
love your videos can't wait for a new video but they are to short, please make then longer they are over so fast I really love watching you find stuff
The barrels tipping over and pipes rolling away had me laughing out loud 😂
That was a fabulous haul!! Lots of fun stuff!
I worked at a landfill in the 90s, then drove roll offs to the same landfill from 2003 to 2015, I feel ya when you score brass, copper, etc.! Tools and bikes were my favorite finds, household improvement supplies also. Amazing what gets tossed, eh brother? Live in a small town now, not much to scavenge like large metro areas, be safe, watch for needles, they’re everywhere! Good channel, you’re doing a fine job, sometimes i want to jump in with you!
Good morning ❤
3:02 OMG!!! You had me screaming in fear!
That was some crazy find, Mike
Thank you so much for the continuous entertainment Mike 😂❤
Mike you brushing in that dumpster. Classic. Bless 🙏🏻👍
Thanks Mike,you never cease to amaze me with your effort.
Watch your head!!!
Mike, you are a ray of sunshine and a breath of fresh air. Thank you. Be safe and be happy. Florida Friend
Mikey👍
Definitely an awesome scrap hunt thanks for sharing this six stars brother
I hope you're taking us to the river this summer😮
Mike looks like you are getting some more stuff for your space ship lol. Love your videos ❤❤❤❤
Yay Mike ❤
I have to say you got energy !
Great video! Hello from Greece!
You never cease to amaze me, you did well. 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻❤️💙
Good morning from Omaha Nebraska
MTS is the king.
Those big heavy pipes.Too cool.Great haul.🌷
Great video tonight Mike. Thanks for bringing us along with you. You definitely got a vast variety tonight but please please please stop walking atound the tops of those high open-tops. I was actually dizzy watching you do it😬😬😬 Have to agree with some of my fellow watchers, the videos are way too short. Please can we have a few long ones Stay safe & keep scrapping from Ireland 🥰🎉🇮🇪🍀
Next time you find a dumpster full of soda or juice drinks grab them and take them to the soup kitchen or food pantry . Then you csn honestly say you are doiing your part .

Whether or not "his part" serves his interests first and foremost means nothing. He is still doing his part regardless. In fact, his employment is far more streamlined toward saving the planet than the vast majority of the entire country. I'd say look in the mirror before you tell someone their effort is not enough.
Mike you are such an inspiration to others. People have turned into a world where everything is disposable
Sweeping those Dumpster Scraps - man - soooo many Have Pipe Pieces - Great Pick-up ! Great Dumpster Diving and Go Home make Dinner and have those "Cracklings" ! Great Video and many Cheers from Australia !!!!
That short steel is really good to find , it pays double the price of sheet steel
Great Haul today!!! Good show Young Mike!!👍👍
Highly entertaining as always!! Literally laughing out loud at the shenanigans today. ❤❤
Captain Planet, he’s our hero! 😂
Those water heaters Mike………they knew you were coming to get em!! Rock on Mike!!
scrap was kickin yer ass today ,all wants to roll away .thanks for the ride along
Mike you have found very nice things again.
WOW. 2 Mikey videos in 2 days. Woooweeeeeeee. Stay safe and God Bless. Oh yes Mike please be careful walking ON the dumpster
That poor Cardboard Can. You abused that one. Great Video.
Another great day with MTS!
That 1st Dumpster had the "Worst tote ever" in it, then the Barrel went "Bye Felicia" and took off.
Motorcycle man says braaaap, scrap man says scraaaaap
The big chunks of pipe were a good score!
Im so happy my phone is working again. I was going throu mike withdrawals. Happy to see you again its been 2 long weeks.well happy scrapping 🎉
A good mix of stuff today.
Mikey 😂
No one should live in fear 😲 but it is important to always be aware of surroundings. MTS 💪 my friend things often change at a moment notice so please use an abundance of caution in the work that you are doing 😜. Thanks for another awesome episode of the MTS 💪 show 👏👏👏
Mike Thank you for making another video. I enjoy your content you share. Have a good weekend. Your fan club.
I really like seeing your scrapyard runs and you wrap up videos, where have they been?
Mike you should take those metal pallets out to the farm and build Grandma a new pen for the hogs
Keep up the good work mike
At the end of this video I kept thinking of the trash compactor scene in Star Wars. I was afraid Mike was gonna get pulled under by some alien serpent. Keep up the great videos Mike!
Your killing it.
LOl Love your videos and your sense on humor
you earn your money, love watching and listening to you...
Love the dumpsters!
