Dumpster Diving (All This, 1 Dumpster!)

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!

[@rogeroran2911]

Actually your English isn’t bad at all.

[@dianna3157]

@@rogeroran2911 I agree! Better than MANY Americans. @Daniel Kulik

[@Skordalias4]

"Am I the only guy that gets excited about a bag full of rocks?" You and us geologists dear Mike 😆

[@STONEDay]

You talking about Stones eh?

[@billhuman448]

NO US TOO!!!!!!!!!!!1

[@christophertaylor2464]

I too would get excited about a bag of rocks. I go rock hunting almost every day. When my cargo pockets get full l empty them out and then I start over. GOD BLESS YOU AND ALL WHO READ THIS AMEN

[@paulanelson1884]

Awesome staging haul!love the lamp! Spray it with vinegar run the bugs off n then let it air in your garage!

[@fahadyounus1]

It’s strange you don’t have 10 mil subscribers, you deserve it

[@mariamarsala3159]

Why am I so addicted ?!?!

[@ralphhowes]

That wave metal wall sculpture should fetch $200 at least, considering the work that went into it and its size. Good luck Mike, nice diving!

[@eba44]

I agree. Don't underestimate what it could be worth to someone, Mike.

[@cecilwine4806]

Hey Mike, betcha the wife will love some of that for the furniture refinishing!

[@larryfazen6468]

I am a fellow dumpster diver and I found 2 absolutely gorgeous mirrors in a pier one imports dumpster. 1 had a retail price sticker of $300 it was still wrapped in the plastic with cardboard end protectors... It has at my great Rome and fool people into thinking I've got money because who in their right mind that works for a living would buy a mirror for $300? Great videos

[@ariesmariano4592]

Oh right o right yeahhhhhh.scrap scrap.nice mike.

[@DCD762]

A bit of a idea next time you have breakables in the truck... See the big cardboards that were in the aluminium dumpster? Use them to cover them, that type of cardboard is thick and strong, that way you can place stuff on top without breaking what's underneath

[@christinelowery6195]

Mike your so hard working. I'm glad you find so much stuff

[@davidsirett5560]

Watching in England whilst drinking beer

[@offwithhishead2556]

Watching in Wales with 10a.m. coffee.

[@Furcorners]

A great way to spend a Saturday night! 😉

[@scottyevans5206]

Mike you the man get that dumpster loot y'all lol

[@melindafraser6392]

It's great when you find so much great stuff. There's a few things I wouldn't mind having myself.

[@thegameshowguy123]

Hi, I'm a diver of 30 years in Adelaide Australia 🇦🇺 who carries the stuff you find? Love your KZbin channel, great stuff, keep recycling dude ✌️

[@tnridge]

Cover that thing in a huge plastic bag..for a few days if there are bugs on it ..it will smother them LOL

[@gordonclass1]

This is why dumpsters are better than curb side scrapping.

[@tinkerbellblue5142]

Another great video from Mike the scavenger 👍👍🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿

[@judiththomas2258]

Awesome scores! Love that lamp, put your foot down Mike! lol.....sanitise it first :)

Dumpster loot baby!

[@verronicap6214]

You had me rolling laughing when you said your wife told you to get that thing out of here. 😂😂 That's me I tell my husband that some times.😂 Great finds

[@sherryluna8325]

I love this one.ook St that decoration stuff.❤

[@loadedsmile]

That’s mostly displayed items, Pier 1 Imports’ eight store closings on Long Island started with a location in Bohemia on Tuesday. On Jan. 6, the struggling home décor retailer said it would be closing up to 450 stores “to better align its business with the current operating environment.” Fort Worth, Texas-based Pier 1 Imports Inc. operated 942 stores as of Nov. 30, the end of its third fiscal quarter. I would keep a close eye on that dumpster✔️

[@vanessahouston3031]

BEAUTIFUL PIECES!!!!! GREAT HAUL!!!!!!

[@seanbowman2372]

Love watching your videos Mike always makes my day better. Keep it up bro.

[@ga8374]

Excelente video Ok

[@manucat1951]

Hello Mike ! magnifique récupération 👍very good .

[@kenberger859]

That must have been the "Light at the end tunnel ,i mean dumster😁" I'm happy you had a great night.

[@reneewilbur4340]

Best episode ever!

[@jesusislord3971]

Bag of full rocks joke was funny.😎😁😎

[@carloutube]

Mike is my favourite Texan

[@eba44]

Please don't ever try to return stuff from a dumpster to the store. Gives us divers a bad name- and makes stores more likely to lock bins-- or ruin toss-outs.

[@kristybrooks2547]

Sometimes stores glue merchandise so that customers don’t mess up the displays.

[@jamiepan3608]

You were making me so dizzy with the camera,lol. You found so much and at first I was wondering how you were going to get it home. You’re lucky 🍀 that nobody touched the stuff until you got back. That was a great haul.

[@josephbenassi9697]

Happy wife is a happy life, my wife does the same thing to me bro, wish I had your energy, hope you didnt forget your knife on the side of the truck, thanks for sharing Mike.!! for the dream, yewwwwwww🤙🏻🤙🏻🤙🏻🤙🏻🤙🏻

[@histarfish]

[@geraldluque9607]

You know if you take that home and wife sees it, someone's going to be painting and redecorating !!!!

[@victorrobinson7008]

Mama won't be mad at you for bringing home. All that stuff great stuff for the yard sale. brand new tennis shoe

[@gatormike1434]

If i lived close to you, I'd pay up to $10 for those tall chlorine buckets with the screw top. They're great for storage. Great vids. Thanks.

[@duckymeejs]

Great finds for your garage sale, Mile! 🤣😃👏

[@Champagne1]

I know it’s a year old, but I LOVE LOVE LOVE that stuff. If I had an opportunity to go to your garage sale, I’d have bought EVERYTHING !!!! 💗💗🌈🇨🇦

[@bennyt.christensen3970]

Nice haul Mike, happy hunting for more goodies...!

[@mikebransden452]

A thought! Lay the thick sheets of cardboard over the delicate stuff and put aluminium on top- carefully 🤗

[@lastmanstanding2622]

That aircraft at 31:35 can serve as a model for your spacecraft! And you can use those plates with the stuff glued on them inside the spacecraft that way nothing will fall off and make a mes..

[@dianespragg2451]

Well host with the most , what a great pile of cool finds three cheers to you 🤑 🙆‍♀️🙆‍♀️🙆‍♀️

[@danmay9728]

[@susanhaney8981]

Awesome!Thanks for sharing your story.

[@AdamosDad]

I got excited when you said look at all the knobs, cause I love knobs.

[@tammymanuel9158]

The stuff in the open top that are glued together are store displays.

[@larryd4352]

Very cool stuff!! Really good episode of Mike the Scavenger!!

[@MissMaggie246]

Oh wow…I bet you barely scratched the surface in that big dumpster! It must have been fun loading it all in your truck!

[@rheaceebelle8130]

I wanna follow behind you and get the stuffs you left. Lol

[@frndofbear]

Fantastic haul! I love the big keys.

[@elizabethrose8504]

[@marielg9143]

That poor poinsettia probably screaming

[@keithdunwoody1]

The cat sound !!!!!!!! =-)

[@KeithUrbanfan]

I think crafters and DIY people would have loved that broken room divider and mirror! Just take the broken mirror out and use the frame ya know.

[@karenearly-horne8210]

That cover is. Washable for that basket dude lol

[@villibenz1974]

Class music..👌👌👌

[@DiggingCanuck]

I like your videos without music. Like the 'old days' 😜

[@offwithhishead2556]

Except the "going to the scrapyard" music. I like that music.

[@amyyazzie249]

Love the keys 🔑.

[@sullytime3833]

Mike has the best socks

[@charlotteandmee]

Mike, you have an easy 700 to 900 dollars sitting there. Throw it all on E-bay and you"ll see. No garage sale for this, they only want to pay $1 at the most.

[@lindareinen4361]

Very cool finds! Great video again!

[@kildee0170]

Those stans are for big decorative plates to sit in also.

[@lisamedlin96]

AWSOME

[@tammyreeves168]

If you list those items just a couple or even one at a time on marketplace or wherever and put on there that they are Pier One items and they will sell for good money.Thats at least several hundred dollars of stuff. I agree on that Lamp, its beautiful.

[@morry1076]

You need some new heavier duty gloves Mike, to collect that scrappidty scrap :) Some of the dangerous crap in those dumpsters is gonna hurt otherwise!

[@d.rosado9470]

awesome dumpster fine on that one M.T.S.

[@desireestruss]

Ohhh wow! What a catch, your blessed!!!

[@kaitlyntherasse8357]

[@RED-ft8gl]

Every night is a good night for scrap

[@1armida]

You should make a video of going to turn in all your scrap so we can see that process.

[@katrinalewishodge6644]

Omg. You kilt me with that glass. I thought omg he is gonna have glass all up in his shoes.

[@HUSTLERS1]

[@angelawesp3956]

You need a vehicle Never take anything back cuz they'll know you got into their dumpster and then they'll lock it.

[@Daves-hereagain]

I am surprised at you with your ninja moves you didn't take one of those light tubes as a sabre

[@chuckclark9464]
