    Pete's dumpster diving tip of the day: "Petco never disappoints, most of the time."

  • @thepicker9079
    @thepicker9079 6 років тому +11

    Pete i love knowing someone out in this world loves hunting for items just as much as i do, Even though i make plenty of money online selling items i am still out dumpster diving pretty much every week even if its only for a few minutes. No mater what people think its a great way to find stuff and its free so who could complain. Love the videos Pete i really appreciate your time you put into them. Thanks

    The mystery of the TJ Maxx stuff is easily solved - it was behind the LA Fitness Gym. What happened is that someone went in with their gift bag of stuff to work out, left it in their locker and then went home without picking it up. In the morning, LA Fitness empties out any lockers that have stuff in it, because they're not meant for overnight storage. It just so happened that person didn't come back for their stuff in time before it was thrown out.

    I love these dumpster diving vids. In my town its against city ordinance to get in a dumpster. Most of them are locked up anyway! I like to watch Taco Stacks also. Reminds me of the good ole days!!!

    • @susangarcia6233
      @susangarcia6233 6 років тому +3

      Lobby against your insane town "ordinance." Dumpster-diving has helped to solve major crimes, such as the Utah Hi Fi Store Murders, when some kids found a handbag and I.D. in a dumpster, which turned out to belong to one of the murder victims. It was the first big break for the police in solving the crime. The second argument is to keep all that stuff out of the town landfill. It's immoral to send usable/recyclable goods to the landfill. Fight it. Don't let the little town tyrants get away with a "rule" like that! It's insane.

    Thanks Pete! That was so much fun and I really love your dumpster diving videos. You found some good stuff. Especially the sled looks really cool. Definitely money to be made on your finds. Sad you forgot the fishing rod, but that happens. Think the clothing were a gift to someone and he didn't like it or couldn't bring it home. Maybe a guy cheating on his wife, got this from his affair and didn't want it to be found by his wife. Would be sad, but really looks like this could be the reason. Definitely a gift because of the gift bag. Good you found them. Hope you do more dumpster diving videos in the future. It's always fun and entertaining. :)

    I remember years ago when I was a teenager we found a dumpster loaded with new merchandise. To make a long story short we found out employees were stealing from store by loading up trash barrels with product and then when they had to go to dumpster as part of their job they would dump stolen goods into dumpster with trash. then come back to dumpster when store was closed and load up the stolen goods...

    I’ve worked plenty of places where the vendors would have to throw away outdated merch. They could not give it away, some tax reasons or whatever. Usually they cut the tag or sharpied an x over the package and left it by the dumpster. They technically couldn’t give it to employees but that didn’t stop us from “helping” take the trash out... to our cars, haha.

    @susangarcia6233 6 років тому

    That sled was a great, amazing find! It's unbelievable what these stores throw away. Imagine that sled being buried in the town landfill, for no reason other than a store employee's laziness and lack of concern for the environment and recycling. It would have been still useful even for parts or even re-purposing! It's crazy to throw all this stuff away. Only in the USA.
    Personally I would pick up those nails, too, and all screws/hardware. Put them in a bulk bin and use them in the shop, too, rather than buying nails.

  • @neurosis333
    @neurosis333 6 років тому +15

    Here is my theory on the TJ Maxx clothes: A guy that is cheating on his wife/girlfriend received those clothes from his mistress as a gift, and he knew that he couldn't bring them home because he knew that his wife/girlfriend would know that he didn't buy them himself due to his normal style choices....especially the exotic underwear AND that they were in a GIFT BAG. So he threw them out on his way home.

    Lesson to all other resellers here should be that if you bust your tail like *Mr. Craigslist Hunter* does & I mean this with all due respect to him, then you yourselves can find a lot of the same kind of goodies that he does, as well. Btw, I hope that those Lucky Brand jeans might have fit you, my friend. Because from someone who already owns a pair, they really are top notch quality. And not to mention, comfortable as all get up, as well. Cheers !!!

    • @happyhandylife4101
      @happyhandylife4101 6 років тому +1

      Bealls is everywhere in FL, but maybe not in other areas? Also, Ulta throws out a lot of bubble wrap, but sometimes there is makeup and hair stuff on it because they open up their bottles before they trash them. If you can find it on a day when they don't dump other products it's really nice bubble wrap and there is usually a lot of it.

    • @deztroyer76

    The tags are cut so they cannot be returned or resold. You're lucky that's all that was cut. I used to work for a major high end retailer years ago and we were not allowed to donate or throw out anything good. We had to actually cut into and destroy the item so it could not be reused. It was a shame. The manufacturer would give a full credit on destroyed items and only a partial on donated.

    They probably cut the tags to prevent someone trying to return merchandise they threw in the dumpster. Some people would dumpster dive then walk around the front and return the items without cutting the tags...
