Dumpster Diving "Crashing Down On Us"

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. Be sure to stay subscribed to stay up to date with my latest expeditions, y'all!

I remember when Mike first started he would climb into a big open top and be all paranoid about making too much noise or there was security around. Now he makes all the noise, cause he's Mike The Scavenger. LOL I love it

[@5thdimension625]

Makes one wonder how many people he saved during the pandemic

[@cranki6316]

I was working an open top near my wife's work where they were converting a movie theater into a church. I'd go after work and get what I could. A couple times there were workers still there and I'd wait for them to leave. One day I'm waiting, parked in a far corner of the parking lot and a guy starts walking to my truck. He looked important. He asked if I'd been going in the dumpster. I said yeah. He said "You don't need to wait for us to leave. Once it's in the dumpster, it's fair game."

[@whiteelephantvideos1343]

It's too bad he doesn't make that cat noise anymore

[@bruceritchie4382]

@@whiteelephantvideos1343 I miss that too

[@vera4799]

I remember those days too, he also use to leave a lot of good stuff too! Now he doesn't miss a thing.

[@noneyabeeswax3200]

You have to admire how Mike is constantly scanning the comments,never afraid to try out a new suggestion or way of doing things,this is how the man has managed to continue evolving into the perfect dumpster predator,all you new scrappers take note

[@scrappingadventures290]

Good god, what a great score of lights, that's absolutely awesome 👍👍 Why does this make me so happy, wasn't even me who found them 😂😃 What a great episode 👍👍

[@verronicap6214]

My husband and I took off trash yesterday. We pulled up and said there's some scrapaty scrap. 😆 He said where did you get that? I said from mike the scavenger. He told me I watch too much. I looked at him and said I can never watch too much of crazy mike and I'm learning stuff.😂😂

[@bengone3349]

Mike. you never fail to put a smile on my face followed by some laughter. Keep up doing the good work!

[@raebecerra2567]

Thank uou, Mike, for all you do!! I watch your videos every day. All day long, you keep a smile on this face. You help me make it through one more day that I have already lived past my Expectance. Thank you more than you'll ever know.. Take care of my home !

[@w8what575]

Congrats on the 100 million views mike! U definitely have the perfect personality for doing videos! I enjoy them and it helps so much trying to keep my mind off of everyday stress…

[@catherinemillard4442]

Woop woop! Well done mike I love it when you see people pile up for you like this . You deserve it your awesome

[@raytalbot5890]

Left a pack of gloves at the back of the 1st dumpster? 👍👍🇬🇧🇬🇧

[@MrMattDat]

Nice job on the lights!

[@robertschwartzman195]

Mike you be king of the scrap lights. I think they are using a bulb eater. They safely eat the bulbs and save all the harmful chemicals in the container. I'm happy you have gloves for hands. Mike have a good evening to you and your family and your fur babies.

[@user-su2ct1gw7q]

Good Mike. We want more interesting adventures. We wish you success

[@cmmc3400]

Nothing like scavenging to get your mind off of government and pandemics! Thanks dude!

[@w8what575]

Corrupt government and questionable pandemic guidelines…u don’t know who to trust or what the truth is anymore! Thankfully we have videos that don’t have all the propaganda in them like what tv is full of on every channel and program…not having to listen to hidden rhetoric within the programs is nice…

[@paulcoenen7918]

@@w8what575 Thanks that needs to be said over and over to the people that believe mainstream media and late night commie- dians I know one guy for sure not to trust. The very guy responsible for the creation of the virus. Dr Fuchie mainstream media God. The guy created it yet people worship him. He belongs in prison for a long long time.

[@toddversailles3494]

Glad you got some protection on your feet, be safe Mike, watch the knees, watch your head, and keep making all of us part of your fun, love you, and the family, dogs especially ❤

[@KimberlyMays6]

100 million! That's so amazing! Congratulations, Mike! Love your videos. Thanks for entertaining us and saving the world one dumpster at a time!

[@dramethalankford4335]

Hello Mike, from California here! love watching all your video's. I did'n't realize how much difference each state pays for scrap, copper, ect... I watch a few different scrappers here on KZbin and I think out of the ones I watch, Alabama seems to pay the least amount for scrap. I think that it should pay the same amount no matter what state you are in. Well good luck and keep posting them video's and I'll keep watching them!

[@gatorgogo2742]

Congratulations on having so many views!! I never tire of seeing what you find.

[@vbat7662]

Mike I’ve finally finished watching All your videos. All 3 years worth !!! Now I wish that I’d left some, or portioned them out because now I only get ONE video a day. ☹️ Watching you back then, you were throwing away things that you now grab I couldn’t help but scream and cry. Lol. And Now 100 Million Views !! That is FANTASTIC !! I couldn’t be happier for you. But Please could you please post some longer videos like you had back then ?? I find myself going into a meltdown because I don’t get enough of you. 😁. Take care of yourself and your family particularly with this Second wave of the pandemic. I’m looking forward to seeing you next time. 😘😘🌈🌈♥️🇨🇦

Up north gardeners , homesteaders look for those polycarbonate plastic panels off the lights to build small and mini greenhouses and cold frames for their patios, porches and backyards.

Need to see new one's Mike you make me laugh so much take care bud xx

[@roxanne9651]

Mike put the batteries your not using in a plastic bag and put them in the freezer. As putting them in the freezer stops them from going bad. Just take them out an hour before using them. As batteries can go bad.

[@w8what575]

I’ve never heard of that before…that putting them in a freezer keeps them good…I wonder what the difference is between regular AA batteries and the batteries they put in iPhones or those flat batteries cameras take….cuz the cold drains my iPhone and my camera battery

[@davidmarsh959]

well done mike hittin the numbers thanks for the ride and the laughs I always always look for all the new videos you do I am your number 1 fan in the uk yeh man thanks xxxxxxdebie xxxx

[@KaldiaGaurav]

That's one of those dumpsters you should leave a thank you note at the end on the outside of the door so that maybe they'll neatly stack those and remove all the bulbs the next time they leave more lights. LOL

I think it's really cool of you to listen and try out people's suggestions. Enjoy the videos buddy 👍

[@pbs4535]

Hey Mikey those light shields can be used for house windows for privacy so you won’t have peeping Toms looking in your house. if you find any cut them down to fit the windows of your choice don’t remove original window use sticky tape you can remove anytime you don’t want them they can be used in showers that have clear glass use the same idea above.😃 Don’t bust the shields out of the frames you can size them down to the width and length of the windows of your choice. they can be used for outside bathroom windows.

[@bettyepresley6182]

Thanks Mike 😊

I worked at Lithonia Lighting assembling these lights as a summer job 18 years ago, when I was a student.
