Dumpster Diving "Who Ordered The Shrimp?"

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!

Yo Mike. you always bring a smile to my face. Doing fine today thanks. Best wishes from the UK.

[@mdouglaswray]

Thanks for taking us along Mike! You ARE the host with the absolute MOST! HOOAH!

[@ashleymcginnis5540]

Love the full metal jacket reference.

[@westonscheer5691]

Momma always said life is like diving into a dumpster.

[@todd7619]

Always a good day when a notice pops up for Mike the scavenger 😁 what about making a video of your favorite finds/things you kept? Either way it's always great content, thanks for that man 👏

[@moman0166]

Well of course it was a dirty movie! It was in the dirty dumpster.😂

[@dannyphillips2133]

I think all your watchers love to see the things in the light. And what all of the things you put in boxes so fast. Your experience is very important to know that you are getting worth while things. And your personality is very fun to hear and enjoy the journey. The after party of the passed few days after get enough sometimes in one night. Please keep the reveals of the dumpsters coming. Enjoy the time and learn what it's all about. Thank you Mike for a time to relax and watch your shows.

[@scotthoughton7245]

Hey keep it going with your enthusiasm. Breath of fresh air my man. Who knew honesty and hard work with some positive attitude could help us all. Total respect for you and your family who do this for us.

[@robertsmith7580]

Today I was driving and saw a TV on the side of the street I started slowing down and then I was like I been watching way too much Mike the scavenger 😅😅😅

[@randycrandall8515]

The little black fan, that you have, is an exhaust fan for a Grill Top Stove. It mounts to the floor, under the stove and pulls the smoke out of the grill area. Their Great for keeping the space, under your house dry.

[@thesacredmom2784]

Getting free stuff that helps you get better priced for the other free stuff is the best od scavenging. Good job MTS!!!

[@Gibsongoson]

Yo mike I like the sound effects when u hit the dumpsters can we have more of that? 🍻

[@mistercates9]

those small filing cabinets usually have a concrete block in the bottom to lower the center of gravity to keep it from turning over. We called them R2's in our office

[@jb7631]

Love the videos Mike ... Wish you'd post one a day .. I look forward to watching them .. Thanks for sharing bud... Stay safe ✌

[@jeanroyal817]

New to your channel I'm enjoying your vlogs and I love the way you always clean up after your self or if someone else has been a pig and left a mess you always put a smile on my dial take care and be safe out there.

[@davidgorrell5385]

We need a Mike scavenger video game lol.

[@robertjean659]

The tripods, umbrellas and blue screen is someone’s video making dream gone down the drain. Lol. Great vid again. 👍👍🇦🇺🇦🇺

[@vickischneider1606]

The black and white thing at 23:30 is to put into a background tube. There were probably two of them. You also picked up a black metal bracket looking thing. That is to put up multiple backdrops on one set of tripods. Probably was a second one of those as well.

[@sandybruderer2084]

You are a poet and didn’t know it!👏🤪🇨🇦

[@aaronvanauken9706]

[@Wannaridebikes]

[@AttackDogCustoms]

[@thubprint]

Those giant bins are my favourite 😊 theres just so much in them!

[@CanDL2]

[@robertsherburne2214]

Would be super cool if you could rig the dental foot control up to a drill for operating your wire stripper. Great video!

[@anndefauw1161]

Nice haul stay safe stay blessed 🙌

[@Azoreanislandgirl]

MIKIEEEEEE !!!!! snippets.

[@larrywoebbecke2275]

[@lede2781]

Scrapity scrap thanks for the adventure

[@donnapadgett6583]

Great video 😅. God bless you and be safe

[@fredgillick3071]

Hey Mike, See there, you even found something hor the wife to use. Not only that, it didn't cost you a dime. Good job dumpster diving. Be careful and safe.

[@cpandjr]

I love to take those glass trays that are in the microwaves especially the old square ones and use them as cutting boards they are awesome!!!

[@herbybrooks5131]

Little piles of scrappy turns into scrappy cash

[@davidcutebirth7536]

Hey Mike, That fan goes to a high efficiency gas furnace, for the exhaust. depending on what unit it came out of they are quite pricey. I recently got a used one off E-BAY and spent just over a 100 bucks. New was 285. You might look into selling it. BTW im scrapper at heart and also have a buddy that we call "Mike the scrapper, " keep on keepin on with the videos, good stuff!

[@waynelarremore516]

That little glass YUK jar could be where all the pieces end up. Aka Gold from redoing fillings and such. Might want to explore that.

[@catgynt9148]

Mike, are you former military... “ there are many like it but this one is mine.” That dental “yuck stuff” may be silver fillings amalgam. Stay safe out there. Peace brother

[@lukelegg9915]

you best be doing a teardown video on that vac thing! 😂😂😂😂

[@blevins6584mopar]

Crazy you found all those tripods just by happenstance that was my nickname in high school🤣

[@janderakaleroydavis]

Long gray electrical box is called a raceway. Used for running several wires above multiple breaker boxes. Wires will drop to each box. Depends on length as to cost, some run around $80 new.

[@denisekidder2261]

Mike maybe think about putting on a mask when going into those deep dumpsters. The dirt and dust that is flying around made me get a drink of water. Stay safe and healthy 🙏🥰🙏

[@belencantu7200]

Great finds Mike!

[@michaelschuenemann3505]

Hey - we got our self's a "Spit Meister" - ha ! Nice Dumpster Diving again - You come away with some real Dumpster Goodies - we love it !!!! Blessings from us in Australia !!!!

[@robertlee3734]

[@deejaysavoie7158]

Yeahhhhh full metal jacket quote in there lol

[@anthonymoussa5175]

Love your work Mike i am from Australia

[@petemiller1332]

Pretty cool to watch when you were in that dental dumpster. The white boxes said Newberg, Oregon. That town is 6 miles away from me. Love your channel!

[@kevdodd8507]

Good find

[@lely328]

I like how he explains everything found in the end of episode :D with the stick. Thank you teacher Mike.

[@daewooparts]

@7:37 🧯 my scrap places take the fire extinguishers, the good ones go back to fire extinguisher maintenance companies, the crappy or unservicable ones go right into a shredder that they use for tanks ....including propane tanks ,they shred empty tanks ,but sometimes they go somewhat boom 💥 if a little gas is still inside, then they chuck a fire extinguisher in soon after 🤣,@8:24 that fire extinguisher taste is basically bicarbonate soda powder

[@frozenhouse5362]

Look like somebody broke in a car and stole that bag and dumped it

[@jamesdorrill9933]

That went by to quick very good video buddy

[@wolfonthehill5134]

Those electric capacitors at 3:55 are potentially dangerous as they can hold a large charge and discharge when your holding them

[@bonbonafide2ko872]

Yes! More scrappity scrap! Love this channel.💪🏾❤👍🏾

[@olgahurghis6667]

Felicitări Spor la treabă.

[@joeybrown2089]

Hey Mike. You better be careful with those curly light bulbs. They will mess you up, bad.

[@davidsirett5560]

stuff for photography! snap snap grin grin wink wink say no more!

[@trasieinkersole491]

So excited when I see you’ve posted. YIPPEE ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

[@eugenenelson5398]

That blower fan , would be good for someone works with blacksmithing, blowers for a forge!

[@spacecadet8460]

Once a fire extinguisher is empty, it can be safely sawed in half, I've sawed tons of them! Plus I have disassembled tons of monitors, there is no scrap in them at all, what do you do with them?

[@ThePentadecagon]

he has a computer guy that scraps them out for parts would be my guess

[@roxannetrainor67]

Hi Mike,good haul.🐈🎃🐈🎃

[@williamsmith455]

23:27 might be a light bulb changer for reaching light bulbs up in the ceiling.

[@juanitaminch4540]

Hey Mike, you found the light way to take a great picture. Hope you wife likes them, they are great quality if they are not broken, fingers crossed. Catch you later, gator.

[@erinparker6438]

I totally know what you are talking about with the air bag smell. I was a firefighter/EMT for several years and I will never forget that smell. There were a few times when the driver would be in a panic because they thought their car was on fire.

[@jamesbretherton5729]

Ok. 🤝.

[@johnsalt19]

I see you took my advice about snappin the blades off ceiling fans mike lol

[@gregwelch389]

Spit master 🤣

[@hoosierfatha]

Definitely used to Film Big Boy Smut...

[@kezwa1343]

Scraptastic fantastic because. . It’s not plastic.

[@Carlos-Valintino]

Before I used to watch your videos to see what you found now I watch to see what you find and listen for when you say the title of the video. In this video it’s at 10 minutes and 13 seconds mark.

[@lollipop82762]

the bike wheel would look nice sprayed and have lights on it

[@valerieholmes5404]

I have been wanting to say wear a mask in those dumpsters when I see all the particles flying in your video. I can't imagine all the havoc it causes to your sinuses! Be safe!

[@valerieholmes5404]

@Buster Scruggs 🤔Ok🤣

[@brenbarnes136]

I always want to cough or hold my breath lol

[@markfurman4386]

Gnats!
