Dumpster Diving & Curbsiding "I Don't Want Your Couch"

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.

Great Curbsiding and and Dumpster Diving, as usual :)

[@dannywillman373]

Mike I want you to know I’ve watched the other scrappers videos and hands down you are the king of scrappers they are so boring disorganized people I’ve ever watched. I have followed you for the last two years again you are the king . It’s a long time between fridays but your worth the wait very entertaining.

[@kenburgess6482]

all those locks r for auto dealers. They go on the windows & have a set of keys for that car.

[@irishrebel1976]

Looking forward to the follow up video. A lot of great stuff scavenged in this episode. Happy 4th of July Mike!

[@ronaldsteichen838]

Beautiful start and an Awesome ending you the man

[@jimmcdyer6824]

hey mike...........watch you everyday!!!!..................did you ever consider getting a lift gate on the truck?????............think it might easier on your back.......we dont need you getting hurt !!!!!!

[@southbeachmiamiart895]

I don't find squat! Driving around in these high gas prices (gambling dumpster to dumpster); against opponent scraprats; won't be longer until I hang it up. Miami is insane!

[@indianaslim4971]

Here's a tip to increase your finds and compete with the other scrappers, research where every HVAC/electrician/plumber/pool company is located from Miami to say Deerfield Beach and plan a route that only hits them, time spent driving to a good dumpster is better than time spent driving looking in low yield ones, in time you will find 5-6-7 good dumpsters the other scrappers have missed cause they didn't research, don't quit, scrap smarter with a plan, adapt the plan til it works for you. Good luck....

[@pathartary2644]

You are "locked in" Mike. Another great haul!

TIME TOO INVEST IN A LIFTGATE FOR DOTTIE AND SAVE YOUR BACK IN THE FUTURE MIKE ! $1800.00 A WISE IDEA.

[@shqa574]

Amazing loot today, Mike! It was as amazing as yesterday's treasure hunt. I hope you make a scrap run. I love to see how much you collect for the such. Happy July 4th! Be safe this weekend. I have been watching MTS for six weeks. I am 67, and watch Mike's channel every day and night. After watching a MTS episode, I was in the laundry room, and saw a large tempered glass/stainless steel lid in the trash bin, that a tenant had tossed on moving day out. It took the lid back to my apartment, and it was the exact fit for my Cuisinart frying pan. I felt so proud that Mike taught me the fundamentals of Scavenging, at age 67. Free goods feel good.

[@tatchley3049]

Awesome treasures in the dumpsters!!

bollocks to the magnet sweep and the screws, just get the scrap and go..😂😂

[@richardparker7304]

No Mike they are not pool locks they are car key. Locks they go on the windows so your master key can open it and get the car keys I used to sell cars those are out dated cause crooks figured out how to get in them lol

[@DCHoosier62]

What a great night scrapping!! Be safe this weekend.
