Dumpster Diving "A Lil' Peaky Poo!"

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.

That’s a great haul Mike. Please don’t apologize for finding lights and more lights. True fans are just happy to see you saving scrap from the landfills. And I do believe that we are ALL true fans. 😁 Do you think you could show us what was in that heavy filing cabinet ? And all that wood !! Every time I see it all I can think of is the trees that were cut down just to use once then throw away. Such a shame. Take care until next time. 🥰🥰♥️♥️♥️🇨🇦

[@anne-mareebarendrecht9824]

Lights = scrap = $$$$ in your pocket so don't be sorry Mike, those who get tired of you finding lights don't have to watch.. Doesn't matter what scrap you are collecting it still makes for good content..

I'm always amazed by what you find, how often you find certain things, how strong you are, and how you dive right into some stinky bins! We get to sit back and enjoy the ride without throwing out our backs and smelling the trash. Keep on scavenging!

[@lilyrose3145]

Mike you and wire have a special connection, there's no doubt about that .It's lovely to see.🤣🤣🤣🤣

[@chuckschroeder8785]

Absolutely the best scrapper on You Tube. I always get a chuckle from your personality. If I weren't confined to a wheelchair I think I would give this scrapping a whirl. Thanks for recycling/repurpose what would go the land fill. Your the BEST Mike. God Bless U and your Family.
