Dumpster Diving "Sheaves & Blowers"

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.

[@justinalias2279]

It makes me so happy to see you out there living your dream and getting genuinely excited by the simple things. Thanks for sharing this with everyone and letting us live vicariously through you.

[@MikeTheScavenger]

Thank you so much!!

[@justinalias2279]

Thank you Mike! I've been binge watching your channel since I discovered you haha. I used to absolutely love scavenging/salvaging, so watching you diving and doing scrap runs makes me reminisce. Your scrap commentary is pure gold

[@judithl-akathesausageinspe9388]

A Mike the Scavenger dive, is certainly a good way to spend some quality time on a Sunday Evening in the UK 🤩🤩

[@herbertjanzen3707]

Love the hard work. Do what you need to do. A truckload of lights pays bills.🇨🇦

[@samanthasimental3788]

Your packing skill with lights never get old.

[@michaelhallowell487]

It's his way he does it .. if he thinks he can do it differently than he would.

[@duckymeejs]

He's had lots of practice... 🙂 And, practice makes perfect, eh?

[@tjdacatlady1920]

I'd love to see a follow-up on how you clean something like this run up.

[@ourlifeinwyoming4654]

Another epic light run!

[@philbartoli2011]

The tonnage you singlehandedly keep out of landfills is impressive. Im a fan of 2 for 1 runs🎉

[@dawnrichard6405]

[@nightscrapperuk13]

Organisation is the key 🔑, just like my garage organised for scrapping, them lights will have small ballests in them ,should get a good amount of no2 from them ,great video am from the UK 🇬🇧, am a scrapper just like you 😅

[@pamsimons3565]

Scared me when you were loading the server rack!!! Awesome job 👏👏👏👏

[@vickilewis6730]

[@shaunsheep8188]

Hi from Australia Mike, love your work!

[@juliewardman7520]

You're such a fabulous hard-working man, Mike. I am always thrilled when you make some money living your dream. If taht means you're better with one trip in a video, that's fine.....but two is outstanding! The more Mike I get, the happuier I am.

[@mikeblume8715]

I don't know about anyone else, but I love the longer video, just can't get enough Mike, I NEED MY FIX!

[@TNgrandee3]

WOW!!! I have to literally work at relaxing my shoulders and arms when Mike starts lifting heavy scrap.😚😉

[@chasonlapointe]

Always nice seeing you win a round of scrapper Tetris!

[@donlandenberg8126]

Awesome day! Thanks for taking us along.

[@NLboys69]

[@donaldbrennan258]

Great job mike. Havent watched regular tv in years. But i could watch you all day. As long ad you dont go all hollywood on us😊

[@marksmithson1414]

Great show Mike! Glad you got good stuff.😊

[@letiseag.trevino1749]

I'm literally getting dizzy watching you move Mike. That didn't feel good! But, it does put a smile on my face watching load up! More Mike!🙂

[@Baldskul]

The electronic dumpster was a real smorgasbord!

[@magnetchicks]

Great Video Mike!! I love your sense of humor.

[@janiceconrad5917]

Great Scavenging today. Love your videos. I knew as soon as you said Science...Blinded me with Science would be sung...😊

[@lorihanlon7482]

I sang "Blinded me with science" too. And wondered if someone would comment on it!

[@jeffgriff3837]

Mikey you light up our lives ❤️

[@mazzg1966]

Two-for rocks! Thanks Mike....you sounded a little spent towards the end!! Would have been cool to see the ticket from the scrap yard for the lights. We have seen them before...but never gets old!

[@kthemi10]

👏🏼🥰 Ignore those who put you down. You guys are doing great. Bee, I've had mental health issues too, although not as severe as yours. A break from what was the norm and a fresh start, was definitely needed. Love to you both x x x

[@fred7854]

Hey Mike, I appreciate you recycling all that metal. I wonder how much metal you recycle in a year. I don't care how much you make, that's your business, just the weight. I think what you're doing is awesome. I drive down the streets and see tons going out in the trash. If I had a pickup truck, I would do the same. Love your channel and videos. Take care and be safe.

[@davidbuffington5944]

I feel the same way, if I still had my pickup instead of CRV I would be out there for sure....we especially enjoy the videos of scrapyard money, gj keep entertaining us ❤😊

[@OldsmobileCutlass1969Va]

Try picking up a small trailer to pick up what you can. If you can't take large loads in, break things down as much as possible to maximize your payout. I scrapped for years strictly out of my Oldsmobile 88!

[@navtrtl]

I'm supposed to be working on my honey-do list but I can't stop watching these videos. Fortunately, my wife doesn't mind watching them along with me. I feel like I could have spent an hour in that open top that had the servers in it. There seemed to be a lot of interesting items in it.

[@E-hab]

I would've stayed all night picking through every single bit of it 😂

[@fusco210]

I'm glad you did not just end this one, I enjoy sitting after church and watching you do what I love to do during the week, I don't ever do.any dumpster diving on the weekends cause it's a my day Saturday and Sundays are for God 👍✌️

[@smithenstein79]

Hey Mike. Thanks for doing that 2nd load! I was hoping that it wasn’t going to be just lights! You got so much awesomeness in that 2nd load. Very impressive work man 🤘💪💪

[@ericktrudelle4419]

Yay ! A monday morning Mike the Scavenger video ! keep it up buddy , great stuff as always :)

[@TomJones0065]

I have to say Mike when I watch you its VERY INJOYABLE! My mood goes from DEPRESSING to LMAO! ALL THE TIME! And today ya made my day! Always TREASURES!! THANKS MAN!!!

[@dianewilliams1125]

Mike you LIGHT up my life😅 You motivate me to get off my sorry A and get things done! Stay safe and healthy 😊😊

[@dawnwilkinson8717]

Two for one is great!! Really enjoyable video Thank you.

[@joseebedard3180]

I really like the way you edited the video! It is awesome! Thanks Mike! ❤❤❤❤

[@ericfinch2853]

Can anybody tell me what he made at the scrap yard for that first load of just lights? He didn’t mention that part from what I could tell. That should be a crucial part of the video every time he goes.

[@larryjohns8823]

Figure the current scrap metal price is under 10 cents a pound, maybe 1000 lbs equal $100!

[@bbwachter]

Watch till the end! He shows you the ticket!!!!

[@ericfinch2853]

Thx…I literally clicked it off just before that point. Lesson learned… last 45 seconds is just as important as the rest of the video

[@shqa574]

The lights scrap dollars is at the end of the video. $142

[@philipmason5545]

Hi do you need a license to do this and do you ever stopped by the police

[@leeales63]

Yeah.! MIKEY!

[@melissarowe4589]

Yay Mike❤

[@dwightdodson6897]

Enjoyed the video for me the longer the better. I could watch you all day and have more than once.

[@suebrown3917]

MIKE THAT WAS A GREAT RUN. ❤

[@rob13854]

Enjoyed every minute of it. Thanks for sharing and blessings to keep you and yours safe and healthy

[@robertreynolds2812]

Enjoyable video. Like it when you hit big loads. Also, enjoy more curbside scavaging. Miss the garage sales.

[@GuyLures-ri9zh]

I can only imagine what the mountain of metal would look like ,that you've collected over the years

[@homersreluctantodyssey2508]

most yards use a software program to keep track of purchases, if mike asked his yard they can print any time period with total weights of every classification and average price he received. my yard printed mine out in about a minute, was interesting to see all the totals

[@pmyhill]

A double dotty fill episode is always worth it !!

[@raymondsmith1956]

Mike, wow a double feature! Attack of the Discarded Lights and The Servers that Wouldn't Die! What a treat!

[@rHinosYth]

Just recently found your channel. All your videos are so much fun and informative. Thx for all the effort for the good entertainment.

[@MikeTheScavenger]

Welcome aboard!

[@kathleenhilty6020]

Lovin me some scavenger time. If I were young I be a scrapper.

[@Hobbinski]

You’re a hard working man.

[@Munter1]

Your the King of the dumpsters Mike, and long may you're success continue as it makes for superb entertainment, not forgetting the scrap runs and especially the air guitar.🎸💪👍

[@debratierney9403]

I really like that you went to scrap yard and got rid of the lights then kept at it. Love your channel.

[@roberthardy2013]

Great work Mike! You’ve lightened a dull Monday morning for me!

[@ErnieB]

It's always fun to watch you have a good day, out there in the urban jungle!

[@DOMINIKPAULSEN]

Mike, poor Dottie at ( 20:26) you gave her a headache lol, good run and lots of lights. Thank you for what you do for the environment and you always put a smile on my face. See you on the next one.

Just when I thought you couldn’t possibly fit anymore….along comes the AC!

[@Jibbie49]

Mike, I'm amazed at all you accomplish.

[@dorothyc2801]

Very cool that the scrapyard was open and you could cash those in right away!

[@1armida]

It doesn’t matter if all you get are lights. You always make the videos fun to watch. I really liked how you took the lights to the scrap yard then went back for another load. Thanks for all your hard work, Mike! 😊
