Dumpster Diving & Curbsiding "I Can Sniff Out The Scraps"

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.

[@fatblokes_ferguson]

Sorry to hear about your family dog, we had to do the best thing for our dog last December, he was 13 years old and we had him since a tiny puppy, he was a pit bull cross mastiff and a very scary dog but a very well trained animal, it broke my heart and the vet let me cuddle him when they did the deed. It really hits you hard man.

[@rustyrobinson8027]

Mike the scavenger is awesome 😎

[@becreative2420]

That's exactly what I've always imagined the wasps to sound like Lol

[@julielumsden5184]

I love how you re-homed those wasps. That was very thoughtful of you Mike

[@jennifervanderloop8990]

They were all "WE ARE A DEADLY SWARM OF STINGING INSECTS!!!" Mikes like WELCOME TO THE GROUND!!

[@amymitstifer2135]

Love that you talk like we are right there with you.

[@Missmelf]

[@genehasenbuhler2594]

I miss my fur babies- in the course of a year I lost my mom and 7 dogs and a cat! I don't think I can do it again! So I just volunteer at our local shelter for my furbabie fix!

[@tonznz007]

[@joannefazenbaker1448]

You're comments and sound effects along your adventures keep me laughing all day 😂

[@marksmithson1414]

Mike love the combo videos of street scraping and dumpster diving!! The people are really sometimes nice when you go by.

[@MikeTheScavenger]

Yes they are! Great folks!

[@iandrew6347]

Great video Sir keep up the amazing work . Watching from the U.K.

[@JimLooter]

Back here in Greece, we the scavengers are all doin' alr. Y' know the classics. Not much scrap 'round here in these parts but the finds get crazier the more you search. And while the car's broken and we can't go on vacation I thought: Man I should watch some Mike the Scavenger to relax and get out of stress. Chill, relaxing and sometimes funny Mike makes my soul lie in peace. The environment, the metallic sounds and of course the light hearted Mike and more make these videos worth watching. As a pre-adult I do the same things. I need more space in my room tho. Keep it up Mike our friend. Keep up the scapping race!! Stay strong!

[@williamsnyder1205]

Right on, I'm watching from Sacramento, California USA 🇺🇸 peace ✌ out, my friend!!!😊

[@SkullerMetals]

[@LVCobb]

I love to watch your videos but lots of the stuff you scrap is worth more selling than to scrap. But you probably don't have time to sell it. Keep making the exciting videos.

[@williamsnyder1205]

Hi, Jeremy I was just wondering if you watch Field Days, I've been watching Matt& Mac-10 for a while now!!!! Peace ✌ out my friend!!

[@jeffshears509]

Mike must've been a teenager in the 90s with all the 90s hip hop references "cruisin down the street in my 6 4"😂

[@lukelegg9915]

[@canadian_american84]

I was thinking that the other day cause I'm 39 and I have almost the same expressions(way of talking even though I'm Canadian)

[@eagleeyes5638]

Greetings Mike. Condolences on your pet.

[@kozz1963]

hey mike that rear-end housing you got from the car parts guy is for a dragster it's a narrower 9-inch ford type rear end it's very popular for aftermarket builders i would not scrap it ! it should sell very quickly on marketplace .i would get some info on it from the guy that you got it from .

[@williamsnyder1205]

I thought the same thing!!!!😊from Sacramento, California, peace ✌ out

[@alparker8661]

Reading my mind on the handcuffs.

Sorry for your loss

[@davidbingham7404]

Mike, great job as always. I think you have to much fun doing the scavenger thing but keep on doing it. Love the video . 🤠🤠🤠❤❤❤.

[@robertschwartzman195]

Mike let me tell you about finding surprises in the trash. Many years ago I stopped at a pile while my friend was sitting in my p/u. I started pulling out tools inuding a metal stamping kit from the 1940's. My friend sees all I finding cones out of the truck and opens a bag and to his surprise ge finds a dirty diaper. You never know what you find. I wanted to share that with you. I've had dogs and cats over throughout my life.

[@leattaslone1800]

Great job again Mike! Keep up the great work!

[@mikecalvo5815]

NICE HAUL OF SCRAP MIKE

[@michelebrown7951]

[@Smithy1974.]

Off his head love the man😂

[@jacobmckenna8282]

I love the sound effects when you hit the wasps nest

[@bradhuff6879]

Much love and support my brother. Love what you do. My phone constantly stays playing your videos.

[@raywescovich8711]

Mike the Mac getting that scrap

[@huntermcfish]

Future info... those weber grills have a great resale value and grilling forums often are flooded with shared rebuilt ones. Definitely able to get close to a hundred for that one with a simple hose down!

[@stephensmith3708]

SUPER NICE STUFF Cousin Mikey! Now let's see some of them cabbages! Scrap yard run to see them greenbacks, yo! LETS SEE THE BENJAMINS AND JACKSONS!!!!

[@michellemorgan6295]

Mike awesome finds ❤😊

[@OriginalNethead]

Loved the rescue of all the kid stuff. That chocolate "cake" in the carrier made NO sense. Who'd do that to a perfectly good stainless cake carrier?

[@latammiaslavishnails]

Good morning Mike! How are you? Thanks for sharing ❤

[@Mazlem]

That poor freezer!

[@hopper345]

Wow 😂love how you just vacated them 😅

[@franciscosandiego3026]

Great video brother from the imperial county California 👍👍🇺🇲🇺🇲

[@karenklucas923]

Always hard to loose a life long pet!!! Hugs!!! 😢

[@myahnombre]

You’re doing a really great service for the community , kudos.

[@donlandenberg8126]

I want that rear end housing you picked up. Thanks for sharing with us

[@ronfrance4041]

Mike, if that’s a ford 9” rear axle housing you got from the guy working on his car, it’ll be worth more to sell it than scrap it

[@williamsnyder1205]

That's right not scrap!!! From Sacramento, California,

[@bruceabrahams4282]

Mike, you are a legend, love love LOVE watching your videos. Can we see some lucky subscribers join you on some of your videos. SPECIAL GUEST type of thing, it would take your videos to a new level.

[@jvjdrn]

8:54 i would’ve been doing the wasp dance!

[@robertlong8274]

I enjoy your videos ... I have been a fan since your skateboard and bmx bike days ... When you get a chance I would like to see another diving video ... Remember to always watch your six while scavenging ...safe travels ...

[@PetterBruland]

Amazing load! Nice.

[@josephstanley200]

I can’t believe they had bobo drawers in that lol

[@scottgriz]

Sniffing out the scraps is better than sniffing out the craps. You don't want any more of those.

[@matthewelliott2213]

p.s. the screaming like a little girl is usually the idea....lol 😅🥳😂🤣🤤
