  • 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!

    As 67 year old man i find it incredible watching the stuff people throw away. Any of those bikes would be God sent to me at 7-12.

    There's a place in Columbus Ga that fixes bike's and gives them out at Christmas for kids that don't have one. One yr someone broke into his shop and stole all of the bikes he had ready for Christmas. The community got together and donated more bikes than he had all new bikes at that.

    You need to find yourself a company / group that can recondition those bikes for donation to help others and so glad you help those who do not have.

    The kid that lives next to me would be jealous of that bike pile you found. He always wants to keep the bikes I find for scrap even if they are too big, for a girl, or too broken. He's currently got 3 I gave him so he'll probably want to trade one of those for a better color when I get the next one in decent shape.

    Hey Mike, when you are re-using a cardboard box you should fold the top flaps into the box. I makes the box much stronger and you don't have the flaps getting in your way when you trying to sort ish into the box.

    Mike, I notice patterns in what someone may find curbside. When it's bikes, it's bikes. When it's washers and dryers, it is. Microwaves, trampolines, ceiling fans, patio furniture, lights, etc. Happens like that for some reason. It's like everyone is like minded during certain times. Strange, isn't it?

    .hear where I live in the uk our local council set a second hand bike repair shop. I did one mourning a week we strip and make one good bike from others for adults to kids bikes.but as usual funding got stopped and this bike place got closed
    It was such a shame kids faces when they got a bike especially Christmas time there faces were priceless buddy as a old fart it brought a tear or two to my eyes familys who had nothing and no spare money got bikes for there kids. All the best buddy and keep on scrapping 😊
