Dumpster Diving "We Went Down To The Bottom!"
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.

It was that pumpkin spice coffee.
The pop culture references are what keeps me coming back. Songs from the radio, lines from movies, all the good stuff.
Awesome show Mike. I bet you and your wife are a blast to hang out with.
You don't know the food but you know your metals!!

Your reason for not wanting to sell the safety harness to anyone was so good. Very responsible, Mike! :)

Yes we NEVER sell used fall harnesses ... the straps should be cut and the unit rendered unusable. Good job mike
The wonderful world of "Mike the Scavenger" Awesomeness
When you said you had your pumpkin spice latte, you had me !! Lol I love pumpkin year round.
You just take your time, Mike, the longer your videos, the better! There’s nothing better than seeing there is a forty or more minutes Scavenger on my KZread feed! Have a great coming week! ✌🏼❤️
I would've kept that food . I have taken home many food items that were still unopened on the packs. Never once got sick from it. That was great haul 0f brass and motors😊

I saw the jeans and thought: who the heck is that talking like Mike?? Okay must be getting cold where you live, stay well and warm 😁😉
mike please start doing scrap yard runs again i miss those
I absolutely LOVE how fast you dig through all the stuff! I watch other scrappers and get so bored…. I always think… DAMN! Mike would have buzzed through that so much faster! DON’T FORGET THOSE SNIBITS!
Waited all morning, was worth in the wait and now I can't wait for the scrap run.
I absolutely love this vibe
Hey Mike, 2:58 I have a friend in the AC business who salvages usable parts from old units he has replaced. He does this so they can be used to keep an AC unit going temporarily if a new part is not available. He saved my frying bacon when my starting capacitor decided to take a vacation. It was the end of a hot week and many service calls and he ran out of the part I needed. He pulled a cap off an old AC unit he replaced for someone else which kept my family cool through the weekend, putting a new cap in the following Monday. He tries to keep some used parts handy for this type of contingency, recognizing it as a stop gap option for people in need. But it is preferable to leaving a family cooking in a 1,800 square foot convection oven.
Mike the scavenger paints a painting with happy little dumpsters everywhere.
Haters Gon Hate, Mike. And whinnerz gon whine. While I realize your subscribers are ya bread n butter for this channel, still cant be letting a few buttheads influence how ya run your channel. When ya go to the scrapyard, take what ya wanna take, when and if ya wanna take at all... Great Channel. Keep it up Brutha!
I've used those big thick cardboard boxes to make playhouses with!! Super fun for the varmits!!
Hola muchacho lindo!!! Saludos desde Castelar-Argentina 🇦🇷👌
Absolutely loving the whole rap dance in the dumpster 😂 that song will always be forever changed…. Thank you for the fun and the laughs…
Looking forward to the scrap run! You always seem to find the good stuff!!!
keep your content coming, Mike.
Haters gonna be jealous, forget them and do what you do best!!
I wanna see video of what you hoard from everything you find lol
You were quite Fabulous 🌸🌸 today You should do a video on how u unload , organize, strip,and sort your truck from start to finish so we can see what happens after you get hom. I’m sure that will be an interesting idea.
Saw the jeans must be getting cold! Mike never wears pants unless he has to!! Good scrap run!!
Wooo hooo! Good work Mike!! Thank you for what you do!! ❤️❤️ (Minnesota)
Another nice haul with Mike. Happy you found a good mix of wires, motors, cast aluminum and a dishwasher. Can't wait for scrap run.
"DON'T BE DRINKING AND DRIVIN HOME IN YOUR BATMAN COSTUME!!"!!! 🤣🤣PISSED MYSELF LAUGHING 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣👍 👍
Your videos make me happy. Great energy level and I can tell you are enjoying yourself. 😀
Greetings Mike. Let's get going to fill Dottie up/over. PLEASE be CAREFUL. Be safe,healthy &blessed always family
This guy right here..making all kinds of ruckus lol. Wow he's extremely loud 😳 Thx for sharing your dives!!
Those people are assholes Mike just ignore them and keep recycling dude you’re awesome!
Very nice that people live you stuff in boxes and out of the dumpster.be careful in those dumpsters Love you Mike,you make my day.🇨🇦♥️♥️♥️
Another great show !. . . And love you wearing jeans in the dumpsters with metal, glass and things that can mess up your legs. Keep wearing them.
It’s a shame that all the food “waste” that was individually wrapped, cookies and bottled goods couldn’t be redirected to a food bank or homeless shelter. Thanks for sharing this video. Wishing you and your family a great weekends? Peace brother

@MiketheScavenger My daughter works for a homeless shelter/food bank, they accept expired foods 1 year past date for packaged food and I believe it is 2-3 years for canned goods. Double check in your area, but many of us eat expired food all the time.

@@dianna3157 Sadly a lot of stores or places won't allow you to donate the food they want to toss out. A place my father works at throws away perfectly fine food in huge dumpsters. When he asked if it could be donated he was told no. Instead of donating lots of places find it cheaper just to toss it out. Wish more companies cared more about our people and the environment ugh.
Morning Mike The Scavenger
I'm looking forward to the scrap run. Going to be epic!
Its was such a such of a Such Dumpster Scrap ! Brilliant Night with You again - we love it and You never know what You may find ! Well done and Blessings from us in Australia !!!!

Another good day,thank you for the ride along.
The greatest world of mike the scavenger thanks for having me along for the ride you make me smile and laugh you make my day worth it thank you
Absolutely love your videos they keep me laughing.
Number one is always good ;) just like the stuff you've got
Lol love you Mike and efff them haters!! You and the Missies have a safe Halloween 😎🤟🏼🎃🍂🍁
Good on you for saying that you won't sell the harness
Mickey Mike Great haul It's been about two months since I took a load I had wire, Brass, aluminum, aluminum cans and half a reg truck of non ferrous $78.60 Not bad for picking up garbage on the way to and from the store or wk. Some of it tho was from our own garage sale crap. And we had our sale two weeks ago. I made$200 plus and my mister made$180 Not bad for a total
#1 is always good? I can’t think of a single flaw in this logic!
Love watching you you always bring a smile
I can't believe some people are so selfish to let perfectly good food expire and throw it away. What a tragic waste. Thanks for scraping, Mike. What you do is very important for the environment and economy!

Good morning! It’s good to see another video! I love your videos!!!
if you would have opened those little camera base boxes from bottom you wouldn't have to do 2/3rds of the work lol, and then after about 6 of them you figured it out
Everybody put your hands together to your left in the green dumpster its Magic Mike . He dances and sings forget them dollars just tip with copper collars.
What we got up in here ya all? I could listen to this guy all day...lol..just brilliant
Revisiting past videos. Still awesome!
I sure like your videos Mike you’ve got an awesome personality. In fact you’re downright funny. You could be the scrap comedian
Always look forward to Mike..
Mike when I need a smile thank you!!!
Scrap and Stuff 🤘👍🏻🍺
Great stuff!
You always make me smile
Mike that's why I always tell you you always got to move stuff even though you think you got it all by just looking you were about to leave that dumpster and now look what you found better slow down a little bit in process the situation you never know what you're going to leave behind you could leave a whole roll of copper
You could a had an epic weenie roast with all those premium hot dogs.
The "Drop in the Bucket Theory" is strong in this one.
Go STROSSSS ⚾️ great video!! Thanks so much for sharing 💜
Hey Mike scrapy scrap time. Love it 😀
The only things that can be wrong with the motors other than the bearings is the brushes which are really cheap and easy to replace.

the windings can burn up as well. I only know that because I've personally caught a few on fire. armatures can bend also. or the outer shell.

The windings can short to each other or ground if the motor over heats and melts coating. So many other things can go wrong inside them from bearings, shaft ends spinning out, fan blades (internal) not worth the chance. Most motors smaller than 1/4 horse won't value out to repair on average. The few that just need brushes will eat you in labor to find.
numba one is indeed always the best, that lil segment had me rolling
Love watching
Love your videos, you make me giggle!!! 😁

Mike, Please show what is salvageable on the climbing harness.
It’s alright Mike, the attention span of some people shows their intelligence along with it.
