Dumpster Diving "That One Ate My Dinner!"
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.

Anyone else clench when Mike was getting the pallet jack out of the dumpster???😬 Mike, I appreciate all Your hard work!!
Just an idea if you are unable to sell them, almost every city has a place where women running from domestic violence can find shelter. Often they leave with the clothes on their backs and little else, items like the shoes might find a great home there. Thanks for the great videos. I enjoy them very much!

Dang Mike, there's NO quit in YOU! I can't even imagine wrestling with that pallet jack in that heat and humidity. 😫 Even after all the shelving, extension cord and EVERYTHING else, you give us a 40+ minute video. I hope you know how loved you are and I'm certain you have enough loyal fans, that we would stick with you if you wanted to make some shorter videos during this HEAT WAVE. We would be a little bummed, as some of us can't get enough of you, but...YOUR health is more important! Sending LOVE (but sadly no cooler temps) from Arizona. 💜 🤗 I 💙 MTS! 🐼💪🧦😍

"Gotta be strong", brother Mike your an animal ! That Pallet jack would've kicked my butt fore sure. Awesome dumpster run, a plethora of diving goodness 👍✌️🤟🤙 Awoooo Y'all!
That hose is good to use over tie down straps. To keep the straps from rubbing on metal and wearing out fast. Just use sections as a sleeve.
Had to remind myself to breath while you were lifting the Mighty Lift.... You have earned a steak and tall cool one!!!!

Good luck there Mike sold comps on Ebay for the Mustang shoes are 40 bucks and above depending on the style!! Just never know what people are going to throw away !! Cool little ice maker as well a little vinegar will clean it right up !!
Watching this reminds me when I was a kid and the electric company through all their unused ends and scrapes made over 300 in aluminum we took all home and stripped all down
Mike! You are a real stud! That Pallet Jack must have weighed a ton, and for you to pull it out the top of that dumpster! You are truly an inspiration!
THANK YOU MIKE FOR DOING YOUR PART IN KEEPING LOTS OF THINGS OUT OF THE LANDFILL. WHY CANT PEOPLE JUST DONATE THINGS RATHER THAN THROWING IN THE TRASH, THERES PLENTY OF PLACES, NOT DIFFICULT TO FIND, THAT YOU CAN DONATE TO.

I thought the same thing. In one of the dumpsters just after getting the stiletto heels he couldn't reach something, and I thought "If he was wearing a pair of those he'd be able to reach it."
The wire you pulled out of there with the tubing in it is a welder lead. You hook it up to your MIG welder and the tube pumps gas into the nozzle.
Man I busted a sweat just watching you lug that fork lift into the truck. I think I'll have a beer now to cool down! LOL Thanks for the video. BTW that Black Box railing is a server rack. and that flat platform is usually used for like routers. I work in IT and we use them a lot.
Wow!! What a video. It surprises me how much stuff that can be recycled goes in the trash. Companies and businesses can recoup a little of their money if they would just do it. You’re doing an awesome job.
