One who takes or uses whatever is discarded. There may be a few reasons for this, & not all scavengers are homeless. Some do it because they dislike consumerism & refuse to buy into it. Others just scavenge because it's free stuff which would otherwise end up in a landfill or dump, & who want to save money. Other people scavenge because they refuse to pay retail; scavenging is one way they get what they want or need. A dedicated scavenger may dumpster dive & own a pickup truck or other vehicle for the specific purpose of transporting scavenged goods.

Some random broke individual who looks into discarded items (ie trash or stuff left by someone else) and tries to resell the items for a profit.
Look, I found this cellular device from the tenant who vacated this apartment. -How much do you think I could resell it for? I didn't steal it, I'm a scavenger you know...

When a person uses his or her fingers to pull up the cheese that has melted off food onto a platter.
Her: Wow those potato skins were great.
Him: Yeah (He scrapes up the remaining cheese that is melted to the plate where the potato skins used to be.)
Her: Do you have to be such a cheese scavenger?
Him: Yeah (He scrapes up the remaining cheese that is melted to the plate where the potato skins used to be.)

Before giving a female oral , take a few cents from your wallet and insert it into the female's vagina.
When you enter the vagina, use your tongue to find the coins, and the ones that you find, you get to keep.
WARNING: take notes of how many coins are you inserting!

A low-income person who trundels a wheelbarrow all around town on Christmas morning and collects the lumps of coal that Santa left in the stockings of all the bratty youngsters, so that he can take it back home and burn it in his stove for heat.
As we all know, Santa is extremely careful about determining who's actually been naughty or nice ("He's makin' a list, and checkin' it twice"), and so quite a significant percentage of the children in any given area will probably receive high-grade anthracite as their Christmas present. A naughty-gift scavenger, therefore, should have little trouble filling up his 'barrow come Christmas Day, since most parents wouldn't want "that dirty black stuff" in their houses, anyway, and thus they would probably be all too happy to be rid of it; about the only families who would likely tell him no would be fellow-indigent folks who themselves would want to use said sooty lumps in their own furnaces.

a person who, by default, has no brain. They can only communicate by scavenging whatever neurons they can find, linking them together with chicken wire and gum, and then saying something. Because of how little neurons the person will usually scavenge, they always say the dumbest, most retarded shit on the planet.
dude: "earth is flat!!!:
scientist: "you're actually stupid"
dude: "whenever I go to my lake house, I don't see the river move. so the earth isn't spinning!:
scientist: "what a neuron scavenger"
dude: *silent because couldn't find any neurons to say anything*
