Curbside Scavenging & Dumpster Diving "California Dreamin'"

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!

Mike eyeballing that Cybertruck like it was a big hunk of stainless scrap.

[@becreative2420]

Isn't it? 😂😂

[@comontoshi]

It is! Got recalled a few days ago! 🤭😂😂😂

[@MikeTheScavenger]

Big time!

[@Number1BusDriver]

Have you seen the KZbin video of the Diesel Brothers putting tracks on one of them and taking into the mountains of Utah in the snow? The Cybertruck didn't do so well.

[@comontoshi]

@@Number1BusDriver figured as much . . . it couldn’t get over a 6” high berm at Mammoth ski resort and the road had been cleared by a snowplow . . . 😂😂

[@judysmitherman6769]

Mike is a entertainment show. He songs and talks to scrap. You gotta love him.

That Tesla doesn't even deserve to be called a truck!

I don't care what kind of Scrappy finds he's funny as heck with all them antics God bless Mike the scavenger

[@JoGrussing]

Thank you for posting so many of us can fixate on something fun rather than the political news for the next 180 or so days!

[@cherylsergent8700]

It's amazing whst some people and businesses throw away. Me and my husband used to scrap and my daughter listened and watched more than I thought. Her work had contractors come in to do some electrical work and install new cameras outside. They asked her if they could use the dumpster to throw away leftover material so she asked to see what and how much. They wanted to throw away aluminum plates, a whole huge box of metal brackets, 19 full boxes of cat wire (1000 ft a box) and some half full boxes of cat wire. She was smart enough to tell them to sit it with her trash at the leading dock. She drove her SUV around, loaded it all and brought it to us to scrap. Why would you throw all that in the garbage?

[@karbear26]

How much did she make off it?

[@cherylsergent8700]

It's still in our garage

[@jasonjackson7154]

Birds the word, bring back some great memories of my best friend, I would drive him the the hospital every week for treatment, and he told me about that song and he liked it, so I got his phone and set it as his ringtone without him knowing, as we sit there getting his treatment, I called his phone and that song started playing and everything around started laughing and he looked at me not knowing what was going on, so priceless Thanks Mike❤❤

[@MamaBear59]

I was heading out to do some yard work but stopped when I saw Mike's video. Watching first! 😂

[@cindiweber3075]

[@edmann8084]

Thanks for the ride Mike!!!I love your adventures!!!!

[@cmorlok]

I like the musical unload ending to your videos, much more than the shouting “Well already scavengers…” endings

[@joelallgaier2626]

They look like something out of a bad 80's sci-fi.

[@marshadavenport5715]

That's what I'm thinking of! Mad Max!

[@Oldgrumpyvet67]

I’ve been saying for a few years now that when they want to design a new car they get an engineer drunk and stoned out of his mind and they say here design a car for us. I guess the cybertruck is proof

[@dianiraflores605]

Oh Mike u r so funny. U talk like if u r talking to us. Love it I won’t miss not one single video ❤😊

[@nancythompson5055]

I saw a commercial on one of those Tesla trucks as it went through some water and it stalled out lol😅 not all electric vehicles are good period. Thanks for sending us a video today. Made my day

[@SGTMacBC]

Vintage Kenmore Sewing Machines are collectible. Would love to see what was in that Kenmore Sewing Machine box❤🎉

[@sharischindler9843]

Vintage Kenmores are collectible. I got that same machine new in the 70’s and have been sewing on it for years. I was going crazy when I saw the box and the manual!They are all steel, no plastic. I’ve been looking on Marketplace for a second one. They’re going for around $75 - $100 in my area and get snapped up right away. I hope you went that route Mike.

[@oyet72863]

Great to see a video fr Mike before Mother’s Day! Thank you Mickey

Time for a magnet fishing video!

[@rebacunningham3773]

Wow, a great load of scrap. Something happened yesterday tgat made me think of you...the people across the street set out their washer and dryer. I thought to myself probably one of those works, cause when one goes out you toss them both. Well about an hour later this black truck pulled up and 4 people jumped out looking tgem both up and down. They proceeded to put down their tailgate and started to try and get them picked up, tgere was 4 of them and tge driver made 5 who stood and watched the 4 who were struggling to get tgem in tge truck. Well I was at the window watching this I thought, my goodness men Mike the scavenger would have tossed them both up in that truck and those 4 young men looked like tgey weren't going to make it. Your a beast at what you do. Thanks Mike😊😊😊...
