Dumpster Diving "LOOK At That Connection!!!"

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!

[@mitziklaas6461]

We can wrap you up with the blue tape,and call you a smurf. Hey halloween is not far off 😂😂😂😂💙💙💙

[@gurubhat6680]

Good video. Why have you stopped sharing your scrap sale details - how many pounds and how much money you made? That is the interesting part too

[@mikeblume8715]

Scrappy dappy Doo let's see what they got for me and you have a great day Mike

[@franny607]

Mike you can't search easy 😂you're so fired up that you can't see everything 😂 but i love it greetings from holland franny ❤❤

[@RightDoc]

Those plastic pallets at 2:35 will sell between $15-35 on marketplace depending on the grade. Would be a good haul. Go back n get em!

[@kathybricco7702]

I just looked up those plastic pallets...seem to be about $115. each!

[@demetricadement1138]

Another great night out with MTS. Doesn't get any better than that.

[@jeffbelcher4646]

Looks like you always have a great day and weekend buddy. Watch your head!!

[@constancepentzer3017]

I wish someone who recycles wood could follow you. There is so much usable stuff there for crafting with and making furniture pieces. Great video!

[@christinelowery3524]

You have a great weekend to Mike.😊

[@cathyharville7226]

And GOO DAWGS!

[@MichellePennada]

Mike, thank you for doing the job most don’t care about! I get it, if the government doesn’t care why should we ? (trash is trash 🛢 WRONG!) I see the stuff people get rid of in the dumpsters and I’m shocked. I have recycled all my life and now that I’m a grandma 👵🏻 it hits home harder because what we have messed up our children must suffer with so thank you for caring and your videos are AWESOME like you.

[@josephcormier5974]

Thanks mike this was a great video with excellent content six stars brother

[@pilkpulk8284]

hi mike! i wish you a great day. greetings from pilkland!

[@emmalloyd4476]

Im still shocked how much wasted stuff there is in the world. Have a safe weekend, Mike. Love from the UK 🇬🇧

[@I_Don_t_want_a_handle]

In the UK they are about to start tip mining. All that waste has suddenly become a treasure trove of rare metals and steel ...

[@Junkitup]

@@I_Don_t_want_a_handle interesting

[@patriciacrager7342]

Looks like you started your weekend on a high note!

[@sunnyjoelandry3971]

You know there's a lot of other scavengers out there with their programs on KZbin. But I only watch yours and their reason is, you give a great narration to your adventures. And even sometimes you give some verbal special sound effects to your excursions that really enjoy and I'm sure others do too. So keep up the good work and we'll keep on watching.

[@user-dc4tx3qr5d]

Thanks Mike helping to save the planet one snippet at a time.

[@rayboucher479]

Tag number off the box will probably give you what the rotors belong to . When they are grooved and drilled they are usually expensive ones not the Gina specials .

[@cheangyookmei789]

Another good outing 😊

[@ANIMAL168]

No problem filling your truck today. That looked fun. What a way to make good money. Have a killer weekend Mike, I'LL be watching. Animal

[@michelebrown7951]

Very nice Mike, getter done. ❤

[@michaelmount76]

Thanks for another great video bud

[@lanitaorjeraldlewisdillorl2258]

Another Great Video Mike! 👍👏👍👏👍 Always Love Your Commentary! ❤❤❤❤ May God Bless you & all your family ALWAYS! 🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏

[@bengone3349]

Another mixed bag of scraps. Thanks for the entertainment Mike.

[@ppshale7223]

Mike Mike Mike! Thanks for taking us along! I appreciate you! Stay safe stay great and keep up the good work!!!

[@indianaslim4971]

For everyone who asks what he makes on this or any other load, y'all need to understand that what he's showing is him unloading the bulky shred steel only, the small stuff goes back to the casa for separation into different bins of different metals that then get taken to the scrap yard when he's running out of space, as a result of the method he uses it's nearly impossible to give an accurate account of what each load is money wise.

[@annettebeavers7866]

I enjoyed watching your videos. I like seeing you unload at the scrapyard.❤❤❤👍👍👍

[@tinabrewer_24ab12]

You found Ted and white tape, Christmas, add the blue, 4th of July or any military holiday! Always glad to see another MTS video.

[@Azoreanislandgirl]

MTS in the house !!! Scrapping royalty 🫅

[@edmann8084]

Thanks Mike!!!Great episode!!!!

[@dommyboysmith]

It's been a while since I watched your videos. I get in a "rhythm" that kinda dictates what I watch. Just wanted to stop by and say you're awesome. Keep up the good fight my dude. Best wishes to you and the fam

[@Bundasopiterbaru]

Selamat beraktivitas kak Mike.Semoga hari hari kak Mike selalu dalam lindungan Allah.Semoga sehat sehat selaluu...L 23❤️❤️❤️❤️

[@keithgriner330]

[@annettemichalik2290]

Good day Mike ❤❤

[@dwayneoickle6923]

The king showing us how it's done again. Tc and stay safe.

[@SheilaBostwick-kountz-mi5rb]

I call you MAGIC Mikethescavenger! Ha ha ha. Made my Saturday 4 sure

[@todd7619]

Nice to see some scrap runs lately 😊

[@user-dc4tx3qr5d]

This reminds me. I worked for a printer factory. Parts for the printer came in wooden boxes from Japan. I took 6 a day home in my mini truck. The company loved it. I carpooled with a guy. We filled his garage. On the weekends I would sell them at a flea market. I put hinges on one. They were good size for toy boxes. I painted the one with the hinges. $10 each.

[@johnmccanntruth]

Nothing like a good scavenging session!

[@Jibbie49]

Mike keeps giving us the laughs; Dumpster "P" and "Watch your "W". Glad he was watching that glass on this run.

[@jm823]

Mike that box was for you it was supposed to read "Mike the scavenger" but the other letters must have fallen off. Been watching you for a while and it still amazes me on just how stealthy and quiet you can be. 😂😂😂

[@AttackDogCustoms]

Happy Saturday Mike

[@souleater32]

Mike has gone full crazy on the dumpster .wish,i was there to help .i keep telling mike theres a piece ,you left behind .lol

[@norma-leehuffman9396]

The red "whole puncher" was actually a binding machine for binding things like books. My folks had a couple of them when they had their business back in the 80s and 90s

[@garyhoffson9174]

Hey Mike, I'm not even a scrapper but I love your videos. Wish we could see more follow up after your run showcasing your finds/scrap runs, but hey, its all good. Keep it up, good hunting?

[@MaryAnn-th7dk]

I like Das Boot. Good movie.😊

[@patrickscanlon1631]

Another great score

[@cynthiarafferty7662]

Red, white and blue....combine both tapes around poles for Memorial Day, 4th of July and Labor Day decorating. You find the best items for recycling. For the carabines, see if the local school could use them as a giveaway for children to have so they can hang things from their backpacks.

[@rachelmiller9629]

Love how you know exactly what all the stuff you rescue is Love you Vids

[@leonardhirtle3645]

It never ceases to amaze me how wasteful people are. One group wanting to recycle while someone else throws perfectly good things in the trash. Keep up the good work. You are recycling while making some money for your hard work and providing entertaining videos as well.

[@ArthursHD]

Metals and electronics are not the only scrap that has value. PET regrind is closer to 0.80€/kg HDPE scrap 0.15/kg LDPE scrap 0.10€/kg PP scrap 0.10€/kg ABS scrap 0.095€/kg PVC scrap 0.095€/kg HIPS scrap 0.19€/kg PS scrap 0.056€/kg to 0.10€/kg DVD scrap 0.13€/kg Cardboard scrap 0.09€/kg Office Paper scrap 0.05€/kg Used wood pallets are 1€ per unit, and plastic pallets are more expensive.

[@karenbeyerlein997]

Mike-you are such a hard worker! I love your videos-so informational & funny too. That red binding machine is such a great find. I have used one to bind documents into book form, also sheet music-keeps it all together. Unbelievable how much is thrown into the dumpsters-all perfectly good, & some stuff is new in the packaging.

[@gregrobbins4251]

Funny when carabineers and alan wrenches are the strange things to find in the dumpster! Keep up the good work Mike 💪

[@jrob3203]

Milkshake from sonic and MTS, perfect Saturday 🔥🔥🔥🔥

[@charleswieand4445]

Those fiber rods were for sticking in corners of mesh to make pallet box. Plastic pallets cost 2 or 3 hundred new.

[@nickilunde3733]

i love then mike is in a container it's like watching people shop :D

[@marksmithson1414]

Mike is the man the myth the legend of Scrappty scrap. Always finding all the good stuff. Nice to see you again my friend.

[@norabrindle1198]

Mike. That old radio you found could be the one that you can hear the record on the radio. It broadcasts at a frequency that u can pick up on any radio. I know this is the wrong video but I was so excited I couldn’t find it. Luv y’all.

[@StickmanOutdoorAdventures]

Great Finds Mikey Winner winner Chicken Dinner hope you Have a Great Sunday Brother

[@vickilewis6730]

Thanks for the "snibbets" Mike! LOLOL

[@oldmanhuppiedos]

I can't help but laugh at your way of scraping. 🤣🤣

[@patrickmorrissey2271]

@ 14:51 that was a super nice workbench..... Price that out, if you want a laugh..... Made your whole week right there....

[@dougwilson7530]

Truer words were never spoken about bleeding. I have so many scares on my legs hands and arm some of them involved stitches. Love your content Mike keep doing what you do man.

[@zefox_08]

Have a good weekend Mike

[@jjr902]

Saturday MTS video……WINNING

[@jamiekatz7591]

Those blue trash cans at sharper image were nice to grab. Like the weekend video!

[@stevewesley8187]

Rock on Mike !

[@JDBOMBDOTCOM]

Hey Mike do you keep track of all the metal you keep out of the landfills? It would be interesting to know your total tonnage per year . If just 1 out of 1000 people did what you do we would have no waste problems in this world

[@jaybales3160]

Nice haul👍

[@jerrysadventures8952]

rock on dude

[@iandrew6347]

Great video Sir 🫶🏻🇬🇧🫶🏻

[@HoschtonBoy]

Dumpster shopping at its best.

[@melissarowe4589]

Yay Mike ❤

[@bond1j89]

Seeing you drop that black iron off at the scrapyard hurt.

[@Ecw530]

I like it when you tell us how much you made. Just a quick receipt at the end would suffice. :)

[@michaelschuenemann3505]

Scrap RICH Dumpsters again Mike and filling Up Dottie and of we go to the Scrap Yard - always such Pleasure watching You Work - You got the Knack ! Many Cheers from Australia !!!!

[@rebacunningham3773]

Great haul, have a beautiful weekend, thanks Mike 😊...

[@Superior_Autos_Motorcycles]

Those plastic pallets are fantastic finds , you should have grabbed them and went back next week to see if they had any more. I used them for floor in my storage shed. I stack stuff out in the yard on them, if I need to move it , I tie a rope on my ridding mower and drag it anywhere in the yard. I asked a beer guy behind the grocery store if I could have some of his , he told me hell no, they cost 300$……

[@olgahurghis6667]

Bună seara Mike Noapte bună.Felicitari❤❤❤❤❤

[@antoinettefoster5598]

That was a productive session Mike. Its unbelievable what people throw out but at least people like yourself are both benefiting from it as well as saving our plant. Thank you for all your hard work Mike. Have a great weekend with your wife & pooches Mike. Love from Ireland 🥰

[@bobmcdoggish9659]

Lots of good stuff, Mike!

[@roxannepruitt4024]

Love those plastic pallets when your yards a muddy mess

Your a wild man Mike. Keep up the great work

[@teresavalencia7825]

Well that was super fun!! Thanks Mike ❤️

[@kennethmccloud2448]

God is good 💯💯💯 solid viewers from Phillipines

[@stevehaines6343]

Bingo, what an opentop with lots of the good. To adapt a famous line from Jaws, I think you need a bigger box.

[@kylegreene1583]

Mike,,"what is it?!!!!!" Also Mike,,,,,"a thing" Gotta love it. I sure do, tennis shoe.

[@paulajones9956]
