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.

Finds From This Scavenging Trip

Another awesome video
Hi Mike it was good the night many treasures seemed like a pirate in search I wait for the second part LOL ....
Hey Mike one question why u don’t take the soda cans?? No value? Or what just question.
.
Great finds! I have to ask though, Why don't thou grab the aluminium cans?
Just imagine someone walking past hearing someone in the dumpster go i knew you where in here..... HIDING from Mike! 🤣
You are the most entertaining scavenger U-tube. Enjoy watching your videos. Advice from me (72 yrs. old) whenever you jump down from a dumpster bend at the knees in order to absorbe the shock. If not you’ll be having lots of problem on your knee in the future.
Baz Luhrmann's song Everybody's Free (to wear sunscreen) has a verse where he says "be kind to your knees, you will miss them when they're gone." So your telling the truth.
Just got the double TKR to prove his point. Pay attention
It drives me crazy that you don't grab those aluminum cans while you are already in the trash or when they are on the top and don't take much effort to get. I know they don't weight much but at least it would keep them out of the landfills. Maybe they would pay for the gas you used for diving. How much is aluminum cans worth anyway.
Outside of states with deposits it’s considered painted aluminum. Thirty cans will get you a cent to a cent and a half, that’s a lot of space and mold and bugs to deal with.
@@Kenthis15 well that makes sense. I wouldn’t mess with them either.
Good night for everyone here God bless United States of America i watching from morocco good night USA ☺💟
God bless Morocco from America sir! Good Night Morocco!
@@jackburton37211 thank you so much i wish you good life for you and your family God bless you God bless United States of America good night my friend sweet dreams ☺❤
Mike a stick with magnet on end could become handy occasionly on some dumpster missions 😅👍👍
That’s a nice stereo I had one the bass slams hope it’s works for you
That hillary sticker was in the right spot.
Said it in the beginning...Slow down turbo or your gonna catch a needle! Glad you have gloves but it wont save you from those little pricks!
wish the cat sound would show up more lol
The sound effects crack me up.
Think that was a needle for filling ink cartridges
I bet doctors without borders could have used those med supplies.
I was wondering about that myself. If it would be good enough.
Nope, way too expired, don’t want to be mixing degrading plastics with blood cells.
The coasters are for moving furniture.
Yep..got them under the casters of my sofa
I have some under (almost) all my HEAVY furniture. 🙃. They’re a life saver.
Mike I think you carry a 5 gallon bucket into the dumpsters it would save you time . All those snippets would have fit there along with that other stuff. Just trying to help you be more proficient.
He’s mentioned several times that only about 10% of the dumpsters he visits have anything worth putting in his videos, that includes the ones with only one thing in them, he moves fast, running around with a bucket would be a waste of time and energy 90% of the time especially when often a dumpster will have a bucket or box in it already.
You for sure need a shirt that says dumpster unicorn.
You can take the pretty marble tile and turn them into cutting boards.
TOEFL is teaching of ,, English as a foreign language
Park in front of the dumpster and you can block the garbage man. If you lost consciousness they couldn't just throw you away without a tow-truck.
Your dialogue is amazing 👏 who would have thought that dumpster diving could be so interesting 🤔 lol 😆🤣😂😹😄😉😆🤣😂
Some of that medical supplies can still be used if donated to animal rescues.
No, old rubber and plastic degrades over time even still in original packaging. It forms toxic chemicals that can poison the blood. Best to discard and stick with new product. Anything expired in 2017 would only have been usable at most a few months after expiration, but only if it was stored in air conditioning, as heat will speed up the degradation process, even making medical 'old new stock' unusable before it's expiration date.
Man I went diving tonight and the plethora of stuff I got shower curtains totes lids for totes bag of flour three bottles of Tylenol Cold type stuff a bottle of Tylenol some bottles of vitamins diapers Pull-Ups 23 light beers don't expire until next year binders for notebooks.
32:19 that's Heliax cable looks like its from a cell tower.. expensive stuff.
Correct! LDF4 to be exact 😁 Australia doesn’t pay much for it as scrap
@@Breazeh My late husband is a ham operator.. He did a lot of stuff when it came to radios and towers,,, Scrapped coax nowadays is copper clad aluminum ,, Worthless IMO.
Oh BTW I love listening to ABC country!
This last couple of dumpsters had 50 dollars of Pepsi cans in them , lolol, nice, thanks BigAl California.
Digging through the remnants of peoples lives after they have lost a place to live due to COVID SHUTDOWNS. Thank you Harris County.
Fun night, lots of variety!
You should of kept that Hilary sticker it is so funny it might be worth something some day.
I see stuff
🤑🤑🤑🤑
Mike I'd love to see the enthusiasm and joy you have diving in this video in your newer video's again, it seems you've lost it lately hope everything is well with you and yours...We all care about you and wish you the best.
Thanks man, that was fun going dumpster diving with you!
Those pumps are for pushing fluids, meds, and the such via IV. Have set up and used quite a few. Cool weather here in north Texas at night and warm during the day. Stay safe and warm.
Great video a lot of great finds you rock
You should have kept the carts Mario and Luigi
Killing it mike 👊
Start changing the oil on your truck yourself with those ramps saves a lot of money and know you’re always putting in good oil when you do it yourself and it’s always nice in Texas so you can do it you’re around I live in New England so in the winter kind of sucks doing it in the snow
World-class madcap scheme= drive to Texas, change oil in hotel parking lot. lol
And while you're at it don't forget to take all those bags of bottles and cans you been saving to Michigan for the returns ( :
stay tuned .. In episode 2 we will have the grand opening of stuff and more stuff on top of stuff
Yeah some of them platters that you just got served in are aluminum
That's a nice powered subwoofer. If it doesn't work, maybe your electronics guy can fix it up!
Hello Mike, due to COVID, a lot of staff are working from home and offices are being redeveloped.
I was just going to comment this. Second round of huge lockdowns coming up real soon, could last into new year this time
Why do they call it a Unicorn when it as a horn on its head and not a corn Should be called a unihorn
1940's desk lamp probably worth 50 blocks clamps to the desk
My guess is your average is probably about 2500 a month on UA-cam that’s pretty good. Maybe even more actually.
Oh new t-shirt Mike is a unicorn! Dumpsters are dangerous for unicorns! 🦄🦄🦄🦄👍😊⚜️
Dumpster unicorn!
This is definitely your night Mike!!!! I am happy for you!!!!
Does Texas not have a bottle deposit? All those cans are money where i am.
The sun belt states do not have deposits on anything. Sad
@@Muscles_McGee That's so lame.
All the states that have deposits are printed on the cans, it’s only five or so I think, CA, OR, WI, ME, HI, I could be forgetting some, I quit soda years ago. States without a bottle deposit value soda cans as painted aluminum, a 30 packs only worth about a penny, not worth the stink or the bugs or the space.
@@Kenthis15 I guess yall could wash em out, squash em flat, and pull a Cosmo Kramer after a couple years collecting ( :
Sonance sub 8-100 sells for $70.00 not working and 300+ working....nice....
You need to put the small pieces in a bag or box first. so that the camera does not move much
Saludos Mike! Necesito una cámara !! 😘🙋
Boa tarde espero que vc encontrar muitas coisa boa
Buenas desde España.
Saludos traduce algo a español para que te entendamos.💪💪💪
24:30 mark you missed some wires.
Those medical pumps prob in the $1500 and up range.
Dumpster unicorns🦄
Having a drinky poo wine night wstching and enviously wishing i was diving with ya. Ty mike
Well now I understand what you mean in the beginning of the video you said you got wood well you're always excited about jumping in the dumpsters LOL
Yeah he got big lumber but the splinters are murder lol
In all honesty, I know your a solo act BUT I’ve seen too hesvy scap you can’t budge. I suggest you find a young heathy strong person to have on call for big money scrap. Kids will work for a flat rate per job.
At 23:04 into the video, you were talking about slipping, hitting your head and getting dumped into the truck.
In January 2023 a NJ teenager who left a party, drunk climbed into a dumpster, passed out and was killed when the garbage truck emptied the dumpster in the morning.
Surveillance cameras saw him climb in the dumpster, and he never made it out.

Hey mike those medical supplies can be sent to Mexico with missionaries. They get it to doctors over there who help people for free. When I find stuff. Send it with missionaries and they are so happy because they don’t get free stuff from their government. Here in the USA they get so much free and just toss it when they don’t need it anymore. Expired supplies can be used. Think about it.😁
Listen, Mike...I've been in the hospital enough times to know these things when I see them. They're IV pumps. To deliver specific doses of Intraveinous medication to a patient over a specific time period.
Lord Jess , medical scrap like them boxes can be donated to your local free clinics.they beg for supplies. They care for the poorest of the poor , especially homeless folks.
Dude! Where do find all of these dumpsters? Like strip malls or whatever.just like the back of busnnises?
Wow what a great night! 😎🤟 Can't wait till part 2 🥰
Omg this guy doesn't know a bottle from a jar. He might have to get his EYES CHECKED
Lol mike you for sure went diving my grandson said watch your head mike watch head 😜😜🤪🤪
you need to take some shopping bags with you dude that would save you some effort
Still confused why Mikey won't bother with aluminum beverage cans.
You really are a big bull in a glass shop, lol. Enjoy your videos.
Hello bạn
i wonder if the person why threw out the Hillary 2016 sticker had a good cry before throwing it out.
That one cable that you found is for cell phone towers that's the coax that goes to the antennas that's on the tower I have scrapped a few hundred dollars of that stuff and that's only the half inch stuff it goes up bigger from there
Hey Mike the scavenger I need one of those mirrors lol for real when I shave in shower my grandson broke mine and I don't wanna pay 50 for one
If that sub is a Sonos I saw that they stopped upgrading the old units so they no longer work with the new stuff. Blue tooth speakers.
You are very crazy, and funny. I like your videos. I'm from Brazil, kisses.
Man I wish I lived someplace that had the scrap that you get I would take every bit of that stuff. I like watching your videos I have mentioned you and you have inspired me to start scrapping again at age 58 I did it with my dad as a youngster I don’t like dumpster diving. Are use social media and have people called me up to pick up stuff but I love the dumpsters you got. I’m amazed at some of the things you get I’m sure you’re making a shit ton of money.
You forgot to let us know what did it weigh what did it pay on your last scrap yard run
Just got back from a scrap run always watch your videos when I get home, keep it up :)
The blue pump controls are for dialysis as in pumping blood very surprised to see in the regular trash.
Cat5 copper is SO THIN it can't possibly be worth anything
its fine when you do thia for yourself but consider others its really rude to throw everything else bresakj it someone else may need those things
Good
"At the end of the day it's trash"
At the end of another its cash.
You can still sell medical devices as long as you spificly point out that they are not for use in a medical situation.
💰💰💰💰💰
Remember, it's not how fast the wind is blowing, it's what the wind is blowing.
Way to go Mike, a perfect night of scrapping. Alright Alright Alright.
Hey mike if you find a radio installer place youll find amps n lots of wire in there dumpsters
The mario and Luigi cars can be sold to collectors ....
Why don't you scrap the aluminum pop cans? Great vids!
that was an ink pen, look at the ink. I saw a nurse with one and I thought she was going to give me a shot, but then she started writing with it.
Kalender Bahasa Indonesia 😂 Laugh 20 times
Lots of nights you don't find much, so it is good to have a night you keep making "hits."
Sell the desk lamp, you should get more than scrap value out of it online or at a yard sale.
That camera looks like it got hit by lightning.
короче..жизнь удалась!да здравствует мусор!
Start taking the stuff that you wouldn't want to take open a flea market stand it's all money
I like those tile use them for pizza stone .
I love box lots!
Always awesome goodies that folks toss and we find....
