Junk Raiders was a Reality TV program that aired on Discovery Channel in Canada from 2009 to 2012. The premise is simple — in the heart of Toronto, a team of "freecyclers" armed with nothing more than creativity, ingenuity, and $5000, will perform a complete renovation using materials scavenged from roadsides, donated by the public, and negotiated from dumps and factories. And they'll get it done in a month.Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_1'); })The team changed every season, with only two staying on for all three: Geoff Woodmansey, contractor, host and head of the team, and Gordie Wornoff, a carpenter and salvager who lives a freegan lifestyle. Michelle Mawby, interior designer, returned in Season 3 from Season 1 working independently for the client, but was absent in Season 2. Otherwise, aside from a two-episode cameo in Season 3 from Season 2's Tommy, there were no other returning members.For the first season, the group renovated an old factory floor into a high-end loft for college and university technological graduates. In the second season, they were tasked with transforming a shipping container into a clubhouse for the Evergreen Brick Works project. In the third season, they renovated a restaurant in downtown Toronto. | |

Awesome, but Impractical: In Season 2 when designing a clubhouse for the Evergreen Brick Works, Paul had a pretty cool idea for a complex series of chains and gears made from bicycle parts that would pull the doors open when a shaft in the clubhouse was rotated. It not only took him almost three full weeks of work to try and get it working due to multiple failures and setbacks, but when the clubhouse was finally moved to the site, it was discovered that the mechanism bumped a low-hanging ceiling pipe and it had to be scrapped. | |

Badass Crew: With five grand and month, they had to complete a project that would normally take months and have a budget in the six-figure range. And though it doesn't always turn out as nice as the client likes, they have always succeeded. | |

The Ace: Siamak in Season 3 was an Old Master craftsman, and his son said that in his home village he's known as being able to build and/or fix anything. He lived up to that boast. | |
