Part 2 - Dumpster Diving on College Move Out Weekend!! Crazy Haul!
Вставка
- Опубліковано 11 вер 2024
- Ahhh I can't believe all of the perfectly good items that were thrown away by students moving out for the semester!! We found SO much diving at the college dorms - after just an hour we had to go home to unload before we could keep going! I really would love to see universities providing an alternative to dumpsters - there is absolutely no reason there couldn't be donation trucks and stations set up around campus. We could be saving so much for the landfill and teaching the students a valuable lesson at the same time. It's a shame how much is thrown away, but I hope my video can shine light and help make change.
Thank you so much for watching and stay tuned for part 3!!! Happy Diving!

My granddaughter goes to UNC Chapel Hill. She says most of what is thrown away is by foreign students who fly in to North Carolina and then have to have stuff for their room but then cannot take it back home with them. So a group of local students formed a thrift organization that puts out collection boxes for all of the stuff that these kids (and any others) want to give away and they take care of recycling or donating. They also encourage all students to rescue anything in the boxes that they can use. I think it's a great plan!
I'm in the UK and at our uni town where I live the same thing happens. Its usually Chinese students. The amount of cool stuff they leave, we all love it here!
Thumbs up for the students taking care of recycling.
I wondered why there were so many personal items. Makes sense to fly home light, ( foreign students). I thought it was because most people just can't be bothered to move everything from place to place.
That is a great plan. In addition to that each dorm could have a place where people could just leave the usable furniture and then when someone moves in they could go and pick out some useful furniture for free
At several of the Univ. and Colleges here in AZ the schools have arranged for Salvation Army and other non profit thrift stores to be on campus for move out. It is amazing what they get and really large furnishings, kitchen appliances and amazing amounts of clothing etc. I admire who ever thought of this and arranged it to be done.
I love that idea!! Every college should have a program like that.
Greedy "non profits".
The problem with Salvation Army is this....THEY PRICE THE STUFF THAT IS DONATED LIKE ITS A DEPARTMENT STORE.Its is absolutely ridiculous.TO DONATE MEANS TO GIVE....NOT CHARGE.
@@breafkast nothing but--- gold Jerry gold!
@@breafkast do you still do Mail Day? I hope so because I love seeing you open mail and reading mail it makes so many people happy ♥️♥️♥️🌎🌎🌎 people just want to show their love for you. I hope you do a mail day soon!♥️♥️♥️🐔🐔🐔🐔🐔🐔🐔🐔🐔🐔🐔 Just saying hi from the little state of Delaware
What a terrible waste, so many things could have been donated to people who could really use it. You guys are fantastic, bless you for your hard work.
👍🥰
Or those who have been taking everything from salvation, or goodwill to resell. Wish I could have a few furnish for my studio. But prices have been driven up by resell people. So I don't get to go often cause I don't drive
The college needs to have the equivalent of the blessing box for departing students to help out incoming students
Great idea 💡
Please they would open the college campus thrift store and it would be more than anyone could afford like the text books and college itself and then you would have to fill out paperwork for a loan to buy stuff there.
That would be a blessing, if they let it be free and someone oversees it so that everyone can have a chance at it. For instance they can all to get a certain number of items. 13:18
As a university employee I would never ask anybody to leave if they were dumpster diving and saving the environment. Only, the campus security can ask you to leave by the way not just some random employee.
Yeah they could of turned a blind eye to it.
If I seen it be sure go head
The big thing is to NOT to make a mess. Take what you want-put back the rest and leave it nicer than you found. It's common sense and common decency to do so.
I think they got ratted on by the truck driver
@@Muscles_McGee 😂😂truck driver was probably scared he'd be out of job if nothing ends up in trash anymore because of rescuers😆🤣
Good for you!!!
I can't believe my eyes! How much they threw away! I hope someone teaches the students what saving is all about!
Students need HELP! Often they don’t have time (move-out is right after finals), they don’t have vehicles, they don’t know where to donate, they are from overseas and have to catch a flight. The college and the town should be putting systems that HELP into place.
Apparently they have never received that information!
Oh life will teach them that in time for sure !!
I am loving Alex being with you. I would keep going back everyday to those university dumpsters for sure. You should consider building up you inventory and selling at the flea market or something like that .
I like it when you show us the cleaned items and tell us what you are doing with them.
You two were made for each other! I've never seen her as happy as she is when you go out as a team, dumpster buddies! Love watching you two.
I’m still in awe at the waste. So glad y’all were able to rescue some in spite of being told to leave. I never understand why ppl would prefer to have all that stuff sent to the landfill instead of letting others take it.
Thx for all you do in saving, donating and helping protect the environment one dumpster at a time.
The university I went to now have donation days at the end of each semester. The items collected are either given to students in need, local shelters or thrift stores.
Donating to students in need is such a good idea, especially with the cost of universities you guys have in the USA.
💙🌿🤘
I used to run a not for profit thrift store. We worked with the local University at move out time. We provided barrels for peop!e to throw items in. Got lots of great sellable stuff, some stuff that students wanted to bring home for Mom to see. I also sold text books that were left behind and got a bit amount of cash for them.
That's very smart!
It’s amazing how much good useable items college students just throw away 🤯🤯🤯Thankful for dumpster divers 👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼
Park your truck where you can step up on the tailgate and look inside the dumpster then just get up on the side of the truck and get into the dumpster. That way when you find something you can set it down in the truck without getting out of the dumpster.
It’s so sad to see all that in the bins. Especially when new students in a few weeks will be buying the same items. They should have donation bins for the local charity shops instead a the large bins/dumpsters. Hi from Western Australia 🇦🇺
I think it would be cool if universities had like a huge community garage sale at the end of year. Lots of people would probably go!
Omg 😮 these college students are so wasteful love to you both for saving some and donating to other people you are both stars 🌟 love Caroline from the uk xx
I am so glad y'all decided to reupholster the ottoman if more people would do that we would have less in our landfill love your channel keep going you're doing good
You guys should take a few of the really thick mattress pads so you can use when you reupholster stuff like that ottoman
Ill never understand the people on a power trip telling divers to not be digging in the dumpster. They say No! All these useable items must go to the landfill. Makes me sick. Id like to see the number of cases where a dumpster diver fell or hurt themselves and sued the facility. Theres so many people going without while so much is being wasted.
Sorry about the big shpeel. You guys keep on diving. If everyone is able to do a little bit, it can add up to a lot.
The police Said it was OK. Hes over the employee
I think it angers people that they find good stuff and their just jealous they aren't getting any off it. Someone might see them taking stuff out a dumpster and tell others. It's crazy to throw away good items other students can use.
I bet right now folks in Florida would love to have some of that stuff, since most lost everything.
What great treasures saved from the landfill! I think one of the last classes every student should have to take is a class theat involves working at the landfill, seeing how much can be reused or upscaled and made to a list of what they're not going to take with them when they leave and how they can put it to good use, not throw it in the trash. Maybe adults need this class too! You are both awesome and I love watching you! Please be careful and stay safe! ❤❤
Good idea
I used to live in Massachusetts and I would drive through the neighborhoods to grab some curb finds in the college towns... Insane the amount of amazing furniture I've found! I might do that here in NC... I'm in need of a few things🤔🤔🤣
That's fun. I love doing that.
When I lived in Pozzuoli, Italia ((1984))We(husband & I) found out that people throw furniture out on Nee Years.
It wasn’t something real fancy; but our neighbor across the street threw away 2 nightstands that we grabbed as all we had was 2 single mattresses on the floor; at least until his Buddy drove us to an Italia mattress factory where we bought a new mattress for less than $125. American.
Young Couples just starting out could benefit as well.
I just love how Alex said about the photos “that’s us” 😂 it shows that you guys love each other so much and it’s so cute! ❤️
I understand the safety thing but the waste is real. Thank you for trying to save so much.
I saw foam padding in the big dumpster. Maybe I’m the only one who finds a use for this so let me recommend: I made my desk chair more comfortable with a piece I cut; I cut a small piece to place against my ankle bone when wearing my boots to prevent painful rub; I have a sheet of thick foam on my small bed; and I make my own hair-bands by cutting foam to glue on some hairband frames to cover with fabric.
I can't believe how much stuff this time you saved from the landfill ❤
That facial serum is high end and the Peter Thomas Roth Masking Mini set of face masks is one of my favorite products. It cost $19, at Ulta.
Awesome haul..really nice stuff...I love watching you and Alex together..y'all are such an adorable couple...
I love your college move-out videos! Those kids are throwing so much of Mom and Dad's money into the trash!
True... Much of that could very well be parents $$ going I to that bin. 😕
I absolutely love yall. Her sweet voice & giggles make me smile. Ha is such a gentle man. Yall are so good together. 🙏❤️
My college had a 'donate don't dumpster' program where they have bins for you to drop off stuff and then they make the trip to donate it! We also had a free store run by our sustainability office. Everything was free for students and donated by students. Really great way to reuse!
My brother in-law works at a college and said it is amazing how stuff gets left by the students. Unfortunately he is not allowed to take anything, unless a student writes up a letter and they sign it saying it is ok for him to take it. The campus also don’t like people climbing into the dumpster just in case they get hurt. Glade you guys lots a good stuff.
I am so PROUD OF YOUNG PEOPLE who get off their butts & swallow their pride just to recover all the riches that can be found from other people's wastefulness. Thank God there are people in the world who leave the spoils for the truly ambitious, LIKE YOU TWO!! I have so much fun watching your delight when someone threw away a working vacuum cleaner! I too recovered & took home a vacuum cleaner that a Senior Community threw out when the residents passed away! Waste not-want not! Check the expiration dates on the canned food. Keep posting all your fun so I can have fun too, please! Oh yeah! WATCH OUT FOR RACCOONS TOO! Raccoons also like to dumpster dive!
When I was in university I was an international student so I couldn't keep everything, but all my roommates were taking the same courses as me so I left everything for them the only thing I threw away was actual garbage, I left stuff in the hallway of the dorm by the front door for anyone to come by and take because i simply had no other options, I had no transportation or a cell-phone so there was no way for me to arrange to sell or give away anything or take anything to charity places, but the thought never crossed my mind to just toss it out...that's just crazy
College days being relived in those dumpsters! Yes, everyone has the shower caddies. I remember the foam/egg create mattress covers also. I can just imagine what is all in those dumpsters. Kids throw away so much at move out because they don't want to take anything home but clothing and electronics and just buy it all again the next year! I bet you saw a lot of cheap shower flip flops also. LOL! Just keep throwing it in the truck and go through it at home. You can throw the trash and what you don't want right back in the dumpster the next day!!
My Granddaughter just moved out FRM UNT I literally asked what Did she throw away she said She saved all the stuff she knew wouldn’t use And brought home Two full bags to Donate I was so proud of her😁👍🏼❤️❤️
@@cindycardoza4717 That is awesome!! Good for her! Makes me happy to hear!
Yall find the best stuff! It's a lot of work for yall to clean your finds up and wash everything. Thanks for rescuing so much stuff guys. I don't understand why the college doesn't contact some local thrift stores or homeless shelters to bring their trucks and pick up stuff. Those foam mattress pads come in handy for reupholstering things like that nice piece you found. Great channel!
Ya I was telling the tv take those foam pads!!
Great dive! Our college has a donation center now, then they have a huge yard sale. Proceeds goes to charity. Its all volunteers that handle the donations and yard sale. I feel like you could have spent hours in those big dumpsters!! LOL
I just love you guys! The two of you are just right for each other. The both of you have big hearts, and if this planet had more people like you, it would be a beautiful place to be! 😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊
Very true
Kelly have you ever thought about taking all the coats, sweaters, jackets that you find and wash them up and put them on a rack near the free pantry for homeless people in the winter time. They do that alot in the biggest city near where I live.
What a jackpot score you 2 got!!! Fantastic!!! We have a jr college in our small town and most of the students are from other countries. My sister and I dive a little and found lots of name brand clothes, shoes, towels, and household stuff, office supplies and canned food. We were told that the students couldn't take it back on the plane with them. We found a text book in a package that sold for 80.00 on Ebay used! Wonderful video, you and Alex make a dream team. ❤❤ Everytime I see Alex, he reminds me of my uncle who is from Pampa, TX, when he was younger. LOL 😆 Blessings 🙌 to you all. 🙏
Wow! What a fantastic haul. So much waste thrown out by the college students. It's my birthday today so I'm excited to go dumpster diving and see what the dumpster gods have for me!
You see a bag of clothes I would just grab that whole bag and bring it home you'd be surprised how many of these little pools leave money in the pocket.
The way they laugh with each other!! So cute
Yes! That's what I love! The joy and smiles they share in their saving escapades! 😅😂
I agree, they should have a donation center as well as a food pantry. Many students toss away all their canned goods. My son (he’s grown) and I would go to apartment buildings once a week. People being evicted or moving often put things next to the dumpster for people to take.
In my town during college move out, north west community action puts volunteers and uhaul trailers right next to the big dumpsters… most of are college students donate there things to them.. then the group has a free will donation yard sale that benefits the senior center
That dumpster pick-up truck was so loud. I love to watch you kids get stuff.
Same... they are my fav!! My friends come by and see me watching... then dayz later they are like who was that I've been looking for them.... lol ... brefkast .

I know right? Made my anxiety ratchet up
Our university hosts a move out donation place at the county fair grounds. Then a date is set for everyone in the area to come and help themselves.
The “little things” on Crocs are called jibbitz. 😉
I agree with you about why doesn't the colleges promote recycling / donating end of the year stuff that is unwanted. Instead of just providing a dumpster to be hauled away filling up our land fills. Thank you for all your efforts in trying to save as much as your able to from land fills! I absolutely enjoy watching all your Dumpster Diving adventures!
score I love it that you talk to us when you're diving you and your husband are just awesome
They are not married yet I don’t think but they should be and hopefully they video it for all of us
I'm so glad Alex is able to go diving with u all the time now he seems like he's always in a good mood and isn't afraid to try stuff so funny 😂😂😂😂😂😂
They ask you to leave so THEY could get the good stuff...lol. My step father use to work at a college as a maintenance man and he found all kinds of things at the end of the year!! He loved move out time!! Love your videos and so glad you are spending time together!!!
You got there so early, and still someone tells you to leave. Sad! Ironic to see you pulling a recycle trash can out of the dumpster. Alex , "Now you need some of that foam in the students' dumpster to replace the ottoman cushion." LOL! I love the shot of Pilgrim at the end. Alex is going to need his own grabber! I have the same one (from Amazon). Mine is 4' long.
I stopped breaking my grabbers when I started only using them to pick up one item at a time. I screwed and put epoxy to attach a large hook on the end of a wooden pole. I move stuff with the pole and hook/grab boxes and bags with the hook. The grabber isn't strong enough to shove stuff around. Game changer, I promise. My favorite hook was a steel curtain rod that had a hook finial. I lost it camping though. Thanks for taking us along!
The jeans legs are usually in excellent shape. You could use them for reupolstering! 😊
You should get the mattress topper and make pilgrim a bed with it. My dog loves hers.
I just love watching you guys. You save so much from the landfill it's crazy. Really enjoy your channel. Keep up the good work
WOW!!! Crazy finds. I agree with you ONE THOUSAND PERCENT!! The U should be educating the students about recycling or donating what’s usable to thrift
Stores or shelters, be they battered women, homes for pregnant females, homeless, etc!! Wouldn’t it be AMAZING if they did a weekend yard sale or two and invited the community!! I’d be there for sure if I was in the area!! Looking forward to tomorrow’s video!! How long have you and Alex been together. You “compliment” one another so well.
Till next time take care. Enjoy the home brew if it’s good 🤞🏻
☺️
Hubby's right, DONT BECOME DEFEATED BEFORE YOUR DEFEATED😊❤
U look so happy…love that Alex has joined u and how much more fun u seem to be having when he’s with u…nice to see people smiling too…thanks
At the university where our daughter went, there were a lot of exchange students. Move out day they filled the dumpster with everything out of their rooms because they couldn't take it back with them. We ask them if we could have some of the items before they threw it in the dumpster and they gave it to us. But there are still so many students that just don't seem to realized they will probably use it again at some time. There were lots of students that made sure to sit the good items out by the dumpster for others to get.
Our daughter brought all of her things home and for sure used them in her first home. It would be so nice if the colleges would arrange for a non profit to pick up all of these usable items.
Your such a Doll, and both of You Appreciate it All Share it All! YOUNG LOVE IS THE BEST GIFT 🎁OF ALL
Loving these college move out videos. You’re saving so much from landfill 😊
Factor meals are pretty good.
If you police the dumpsters regularly you know how long stuff has been left in the open.
I rescued about a dozen Factor meals last September, got them before they got warm and I froze them immediately.
I ate them for lunch at work, with no ill effects.
Love your new grabber! You rescued a lot of stuff which is fantastic 😊! Not only do you save the stuff going to the landfills but you're saving the environment. Have you ever thought about making t-shirts? *Moving On*
There's nothing like the warmth of a dumpster fleece!! 🤣🤣🤣
Alex has a good dumpster diving eye. And Kelly clothes just can not hide from you girl. 👍
Enjoy watching the two of you save the landfill your both awesome. 👍
Wow!! Amazing finds!! Have so enjoyed your videos and look forward to more!
I knew when that van pulled up, it was an 'uh-oh' moment; I am glad you two stayed the course, to see what else you could find! It's horribly wasteful what students ('have to') throw away, because they have to move out.
I LOVE it when you two dive together and then find so much good stuff. It makes life a bit brighter to see things saved from the landfill. Good job,guys! You are the best!👍🏼🥰
Wow so much waste saved ! you both work so well together and laugh a lot as you go 🇬🇧😄❤️
I’ve cleaned several large area rugs by taking them outside and hosing them down. I’ve used a variety of spray on cleaners. Wash and rinse. Drape it over something like a fence and let it dry.
SHOCKING things they throw away !!! At the colleges!!! Absolutely SHOCKING!! That’s A-LOT of STUFF!!! I’m glad you all could save from the landfill
It would be great if the schools would have a spot for the students to leave items for the next year students. The schools could let the students leave the furniture in their rooms and have someone have the job of making sure the stuff is in good useable condition. That's such a horrible waste. Thanks for saving all you do.
I like that idea
God has blessed you with such an AMAZING husband...your love for one another is so evident...what an adorably cute couple ❤❤❤
That was fun to watch.
I love the college move dumpster diving.
AWE, SNAP! I'D LOVE TO GET THOSE JEANS! Even if they have holes or tears, they are great for taking apart and making things!
I completely agree with you about the responsibility of the university. As one person commented about organizing thrift groups, at the university level would a big step forward. You could have used one of those foam toppers for the ottoman cushion as you can tell when the toppers are soiled. I used those for great dog beds with fabric pinned together and not sewn. Easy to take off and wash. You still got some good stuff though I would just take some of those bags and sort later. The rugs could be used outdoors. To restart the engine of your car takes 10 seconds of gas...just saying. Amazing how much you salvaged. Thanks for dragging us along!
Hi guys from Nova Scotia Canada Wolfville home of Acadia every spring before Covid we had something called Dump and run where things are sold and proceeds are donated to good causes saves the landfill ❤️🙏🌷
We love your video. Plan have part 3 of College Dumpter Diving. Awesome score. Save from Landfill. Too bad I don't have a pickup truck. My Nephew plan moved to his frist place next 3 months later on. Be perfect he can find Dressers. Table. Chairs. Thank you for sharing your Dumpter Diving video with us.
Omg I was waiting for this upload my Granddaughter whom I raised since child birth just came home FRM UNT actually this past Saturday she just finished her freshman year and just sighed a lease for some apartments when she goes back and her Daddy actually helped her move out and brought her to my home He literally showed me all the stuff he found in the Dumpster during the move I actually mentioned your name and Channel and told him you find great stuff too Happy Diving beautiful Thank you for keeping me entertained 👍🏼❤️💪🏼👌🏼
At my daughters' University they have goodwill donation points set up for students to donate instead of throw things away.
The water bottle with the word Cirkul on it is a $20 water bottle. It wasn't missing anything, you screw the flavor cartridges into the top. You can get the refills at walmart.
Good team work Kelly and Alex!! Wow, what these kids have to throw out is crazy, too bad they can't sell or give it away before flying home. Nobody should ask you to leave when your just picking things out that are only going to the Landfill. Good findings guys. Thanks for sharing, stay safe out there.
Incredible how much stuff gets thrown out. When I went to university in the uk we had to take everything home again when we left. Thanks for saving at least a few things from the landfill.
Very cool 😎 finds !!! Awesome!! Exciting,!! When I worked at a University years ago, I loaded up all the free things the students threw away ( move out ) as well 😅!! This is in Florida at "ERAU " so I know how exciting it is for you guys!! Love yall 💓
Need a used dorm room supply store that buys back slightly used stuff! Also, bring a donation trailer in for clothing!
I live in Maine the college close to me always has a community yard sale instead of throwing it in the dumpsters at least they believe in no waste
Great score Kelly & Alex.. such a tragedy all the nice things just tossed away. When so many could Make use of the items…
Just FYI. Peter Thomas Roth skincare is very good. That zip bag of products you found, you may want to keep those. :) Looks like you got some No7 serum too. Good for you!
What a great haul. So nice that you are saving items from going to the landfill.
Love to watch your videos. You have the best smile when you are diving with Alex. Cute couple!
I love your content! When you and Alex dive it’s so entertaining. I love that you’re both saying the “moooooving on” thing now 😍😍😍 🐮ing on 😍🤭
You find such good useful stuff. I know we are a disposable society but this is so wasteful. I live near UF in Gainesville, Fl and now they ask the students to put the stuff out to be picked up by Goodwill. Sal. Army, etc. A lot less waste but a lot less goodies for me.
When they tell you it’s not safe tell them you are a professional lol your so right on the college needing to teach them to recycle and give to those shoe may need it before trashing it.
Love the longer ones and don’t think I can watch anymore if Alex goes back to work lol j/k of course but love it when you two work together. He is such a good guy. You should do a q&a curious how long you both have been together
Pilgrim always chilled, always stylish 🙂
Many colleges used rubber soccer balls in the 1970s, in a lot of their games.
These would be the ultimate trash to treasure find for me.
I would not care how worn they are or if they were flat. The fact they are old (1970s) and were used in actual games make them valuable to me.
I would pay easily $100 for one. As long as it did not have dry rot, is the only deal breaker.
Who would have ever thought old rubber soccer balls could be worth anything!
Creepiest vision board ever 😁😜😁 . I have to rewind, I saw Sonny and Cher and you said Brad Pitt. Quite a stretch.
Fun video. Love the giggles you and Alex have. Hubby and been married 40 years and still giggle.
Thanks kids.
Not me screaming “another hair tie another hair tie!” At my phone! 😂 thank gosh you grabbed it!
Love the video, Kelly, as always thank you for taking us along. Great finds! See you tomorrow.
What a beautiful happy couple ❤️❤️❤️
