Dumpster Diving "From Out Of This WORLD!"

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!

Glad you went back for the disposables. We donate to our local senior center when my son finds them at the Goodwill bin stores.

[@jotterson1156]

Donate them to the small time not the big Corp joint...you got a good heart

[@cathyharville7226]

As a retired senior care worker, I am so glad you got the adult diapers! My sweet veterans had a hard time getting those!

[@dawn881]

yes cathy im so glad he picked up the diapers too..they are so expensive for our seniors

[@desperatelyseekingrealnews]

Why call them diapers? You can't come up with a less demeaning word ?

[@wendyadams3560]

Thank you for going back to retrieve those incontinence products for those in need... they're so expensive and so many people live on fixed incomes...you are the BEST MIKE! Your donation and kindness will definitely make a positive difference for some folks!!!! Bless you!!!

[@rman8028]

Glad you went back for the disposable underwear. I'm relegated to wearing disposable underwear since my cancer surgery, and it cost me $45 a month for the brand name box from big box club warehouse shopping store! You did good, Sir Scavenger!

[@brucesalzwedel2323]

"SIR SCAVENGER!!" That does have a nice ring to it!

[@bengone3349]

Mike, you always know the right thing to do. Donating the disposables!

[@amethystwinter1977]

Your kindness makes me smile.

[@diannelogsdon6107]

Our neighbor had prostate cancer surgery. He had to wear those adult diapers for @ 3 months. They weren’t cheap, you made a good call to donate them. U Da Man, Mike!!!!

[@trasieinkersole491]

I’m so glad you went back to donate the panties, they cost a fortune here in the UK. Some poor person will appreciate them. The cushions also are great but would have needed a cover, they cost upwards of a £100! Well they do for my chair. Love your attitude Mike you’re one in a million. 💙

[@w8what575]

And to think I’ve found brand new cases full of packages of them in the dumpsters around town…when I find them though I donate them to the thrift stores…idk if they resell them or what but I never see them on the shelves…I hope they don’t pitch them anyway…

[@trasieinkersole491]

@@w8what575 here in the UK you are not allowed to sell underwear in our charity shops. I’ve worked in 3 stores and non would sell even new in package ones. We would have to give them to elderly people or they went in the bin. 😔

[@williamdawson3353]

You're a good man-donate when you can.

[@jc9054]

To my FAVORITE You Tuber dude...man you are a super trooper to save that steel all bolted to that wood! KUDOS...! Alot of people don't realize there is a huge steel shortage now due to you know what and we need every scrap we can get to be reused.Thanks Mike we need more like you bro!!

[@beverlycunningham4364]

He's actually building a spaceship..in his backyard..one day he will show it to us...

[@AmyRackers]

Glad you’re donating the briefs. My dad wore them and they are soooo expensive. You’re a good egg, Mike!!!

[@AuburnBlue]

Mike, you're a hellofa good guy! The care you show for others, for animals, for the planet, all says more about your character as a man than anything else. You are an impressive dude! The world needs that, especially these days!

[@deetanner7153]

Mike when he sees copper is like listening to Homer after he sees doughnuts....... 🤣 😂

[@ronnieg58]

I'm happy you went back for the adult diapers!! I was yelling at the computer for you to take those for a donation!! Glad you heard me!!!

[@just73wallace87]

Thank you for going back people can’t afford stuff like that and they’re very expensive

[@bluesingmusic3443]

Glad you grabbed the disposables. I thought, surely that can be donated. But you were way ahead of me. Good video, as usual.

[@cepearle7072]

Thank for rescuing the underwear. They are always appreciated at homeless shelters and assisted living facilities when family members can't get them to their love ones. Or someone doesn't have some to go buy adult underwear. Thanks for doing all you do.

[@bumble4342]

The adult 'briefs' can be sold at a Garage Sale, on Marketplace, etc. You can donate them, too, as you stated. I had a Nursing Agency, and sometimes leftover items would get sold, and other items would be donated, all depending (no pun intended on Depends).

[@bumble4342]

Also, the Support Hose Stockings can be sold at Garage Sales, or on Marketplace, eBay, too. I did that also. They're expensive.

[@frankforrest1597]

Dude, thank you for being you. Mike the world needs more people like you or follow your example. Awooooo Yall! 👍👊✌️🤟🖖

[@vincepepin6891]

Your a great guy to donate the disposable underwear. Old guys like me would love to find them for free. They're a big cost when you need to buy them. Again your 👍👍👍👍.

We were saved thanks to goodwill donations, so I'm glad you came back! I enjoyed the video!

[@anndefauw1161]

That will be a great donation for sure those are expensive, stay safe stay blessed stay amazing 👏

[@conniecarroll747]

They are expensive! Have relatives that have to use them. Each package there can cost up to $12 - $15 each.

[@AaronBelknap]

Catching up to older vids. It's amazing what people throw out. My dad was an electrician, never saw him waste so much conduit. Those flags, tons! They aren't cheap. Either sell or scrap!

[@lynfreeman2383]

What are the flags used for??

[@Sweetyhide]

I have been loving your little tweaks to the videos. The sounds and such. Always watch the end to see what you add. The giraffe was a nice surprise! 🛑WHAT EDITING TOOL DO YOU USE?🛑 Really curious. Stay safe, get that money, and have fun!

[@josephcormier5974]

Thats a very good thing to do the elderly can use those great video five stars my friend

[@somanybookstbr9716]

Missed you but you said it had been raining, not so good for diving. Thank you so much for going back to get the protective wear to donate. Those are expensive, $20 to $40 a bag at least, too much for a lot of people. (Medicare does not pay for these) They will be appreciated, when you need you need them!!

[@TNgrandee3]

Always a treat watching your channel. You are a good man to want to help people who may be in need. Take care through the coming weather.

[@lydiaruybalid933]

[@patriciamorton1068]

Always great to see...er... hear you! The place you take the walkers and such may take the disposables, if not a pantry. Some take personal items like that.

[@saulsscrappersdelight8875]

Hope you are feeling better bud, scrapping is in our blood, when I was in the hospital I found Mike's channel and he changed my outlook on donating usable items, I donate lots of good clothes, and walkers, bicycles, he is the best out there!

[@anthonyking8216]

the baddest dumpster diver around

[@michaelseiber1658]

Great video again 👍🏼 Glad ya went back for the donatable stuff . I’m guessing someone dumped the flags because a lot of contractors have gone to marking with paint instead

[@SHAKA38]

That was a good run. I hope we get to see it laid out and sorted before the scrap yard run.

I can tell you have worked around industrial equipment, not too many know the different types of cables and most have no idea about Instruments and Instrumentation. Excellent content!

Medical cloths especially the blues like silk style are worth money. Mostly anything with medical fabric made be worn people buy especially the blues I mentioned. Used for cleanrooms and injection labs that make part for the body pacemakers, diabetic machines all that they use the blues. No pockets just buttons

[@scrappingadventures290]

Awesome always at the right time, a new episode of dumpster diving 👍👍👍😃

[@melvinyoung3474]

Hey Mike, I used to work in housing construction, the flags are color coded. Red=electrical, blue=water, green =sewer, yellow =gas,and orange=TV or phone.

That appliance you got with the press looked like a heat sealer for plastic pouch packaging. If it works, it's almost certainly worth selling or even using yourself. Good on you for donating the adult underwear. Shelters always need items like that. I'd ask more than $75 for that cabinet. It looks almost new.
