I'm a new fan/subscriber. And I wanted to say that I was a victim of my mom throwing away my childhood films like those you've found in this video. And I find it heart wrenching to know that there are SO many childhood moments and memories that would be hella helpful to my healing as a middle aged grown woman with extreme child abuse and trauma to have been able to view/watch/have the only memories of the childhood that I had stolen from me. To think my own mother whom was/is the abuser threw them away because it was mostly of the happiness of days with my father. Thank you for understanding and being empathetic to that type of trash/valuable you find.,❣️💯❤️
I'm Sorry About What Your Mother Has Done To You!! Just Remember You Are Loved!!
💯💜😁 GOD LOVES YOU SO VERY MUCH!! AND SO DOES YOUR DADDY!! 💯💜😁
Thanks... Xo
You could use the shower curtain to cover your car seats so when you put stuff in your car they don't get messy. You could use medical gloves that fit tighter, I don't like gloves either when I garden but they are good to wear especially with what you're looking through.
You really lucked out on the storage bins.
Thanks for sharing.
Just want you to know I really enjoy watching your channel. You look like the All American girl, so fresh. It is a joy to see you find treasures and make a living. You go girl!!!!
If only more people were just like Kelly. Imagine what the world would be like ? No need for climate change protestors.
Get you a paint extension rod, small paint roller hook, tape the 2 together. The extension you have with the suction cups will eventually fall apart. A grabber with heavy duty claws work better. I've been Diving for 8 months now. Love your videos, you have good charisma in front of the camera.
Greetings from Northern Ireland.
It is so refreshing to see a young lady saving stuff from the landfill and also profiting.
It is clear you enjoy what you do and I enjoy watching you.
So it’s a win win situation for both of us lol.
God Bless.
Stay safe and wear your gloves xxxx❤️❤️👍🏻❤️👍🏻
I’m from Bangor I wish we could go dumpster diving here but because of security everything is locked up ☹️
Those slides may have belonged to someone that’s passed away.
I think the family would prefer they were recycled again rather than go into landfill!

Hi,
I have read that some people dumpster dive in Portadown and Coleraine, but I think they must be staff because where I live in Bangor,
you can’t get round the back of the stores because of all the security.
I was born in bred in Belfast, on what they called the borderland.
I had the Grosvenor road at one end and the Donegal Road at the other end and I lived on Roden Street that connected them both.
It’s a small world lol
I'm watching from London. I love her videos. 💗
Love ur videos!! I'm obsessed with dumpster diving but thru you😂 I would never be able to do it on my own. Thanks for wearing glove, and finally using a grabber😁
Esther Rodriguez you should walk up to one of the well known dumpsters in the future and just peek in there lol .. I’ve been doing it for over two years it is addicting . I do it for several reasons , the excitement, to keep things out of the land fields , plus it helps save money on items I can use that I find . The others items I find u can’t use I pass to family and friends or donate to shelters it thrift stores , it is upsetting to know you donate to thrift stores and they toss it in the dumpster m so many here do it that they band anyone going into their dumpsters , they just don’t want to get caught .. it’s sickening the nice things I’ve found over the years and the clothes I’ve brought home and washed and gave away . So so sad . But just to see the thrill we get in it you should try it once or twice lol I won’t lie the first time I did it I thought oh lord I am going to get busted ha I was scared . I’ve gotten stop by cops more then employees , which I found I would rather happen . The coos are always much nicer ,w I’ve been stop by cops 7 or 8 times just this year , mainly cause I do go at night and stores are closed I can’t blame them , I, always nice to them and they are to me once I tell them what I’m doing they ask a few questions and say be careful out and they leave . I’ve only had one tell me you can’t be doing this it’s private property, they can tell you that but I don’t argue because if I go back and get caught again I don’t want them mad at me lol mostly they are just trying to keep people out because so many make a mess , I am like she is , I always try to leave it cleaner then I found it . Even if I didn’t make the mess or if I do t feel like cleaning it I do it . , anyway have a great weekend , I was just seeing how you said you enjoyed it through watching , I do also but nothing like the thrill you get actually doing it lol 😊
Ditto!
I wanna go diving so badly but in México people don't throw stuff away when they are in good conditions, they would rather tear it apart before someone else can have it.
The old slides and movies on films get thrown out because you can now have your old ones put into media you can watch on your computer. No need to keep all the bulky slides and film and you can always keep them backed up so you never lose them. :)
Enjoying ur videos...no stupid music, no excessive talking, no trying to tease viewers about reveals, just wish they were longer. 👍
Those are movie reels and go to a film projector. They were popular in the 50's and 60's. I'm 50 and my grandfather had several of these of me as a small child in the 1970's. Great haul girl, you did awesome! Love your videos so much my fellow Texan! I'm in Spring, just north of Houston. 😀❤🙏
Damn youre so smart for going during college move out day. I didnt even think of that 🤦♀️
Yeah!!! Just think of all those Hollister, Abercrombie, American Eagle and Vans clothes hauls ?
The reel of " Fishing Tape " is used to pull wires thru walls & attic's. Electrical, Intercoms,alarm wires, Etc...
Abd i told her i worked in electrical at lowes that goes for 50 to 60 bucks thanks for also letting her know
Well done with the laptop 👍
It still amazes me what people throw out rather than donate 😶
I have been back, watched all your videos and love the fact that you display all the finds at the end 😀
Keep being you and we will watch 🐨🦘🐨🦘
I can't imagine what kind of stuff Kelly will find on that laptop. No porn obviously.
😊
Wow ..your channel has really grown in the last five years ...love to follow you and Alex in your diving adventures ..Great job , y'all !
You have a heart like mine, memories are wonderful but having the pictures to show the young people in your life and to pass on and remind you of the great time, cannot be replaced. Bless your heart. Keep the memories alive.😁
I would love to look at all those old slides and film. Definitely go to the craft stores like Michaels for packing materials for what you sell...bubble wrap, Styrofoam etc. Others commented on taking a step stool. I use the one step things that fold flat with a handle, so convenient and don't take up any room in your car. Be safe! You're doing great.
Kelly, I am still watching your older videos. I think I have only one left. Way back in the late 50s 60s, we used to use a movie camera that used small reels. These would be transferred onto larger reels. We would watch them using a reel to reel projector. There is still a market for the reels both used and blank.
The slides could have been converted to digital photos ; The owners may not have wanted the old reels and slides back. CVS and Walgreens both process photos.
Love your channel for 2 big reasons. 1. You are keeping things out of the landfill 2. You have a personality that makes people happy to see you.
Go to Your local library they might have a film projector to play the rolls of film that You have found!!!!!!
Great idea! I know there are places that transfer old photos reels of film and into CDs. You might want to try to find one of them as well.
@@RobinDonnelly1208 our local college does transferring of slides, film reels and negatives etc.
I love vintage photos and the nostalgic feel they have- especially since I was born in the 70's. If you go through the slides and photos and find cool ones and blow them up, print them out and you can sell them for good money! Even on tee shirts. Taking it a step further, I wonder if companies like Urban Outfitters, that sell prints, tees, and other items with vintage images on them- would they buy some of them from you to distribute. Technically if they were thrown away they are the property of whoever finds them. Just a thought. Love watching you! 🤗😘
I started watching your videos and I love them. You have a great personality and your just adorable I am in Illinois 🥰
I agree. I'm watching from London UK. 🇬🇧
Did you ever find out about the clothes at the thrift shop?
I want to know this, too!
Thats what i was thinking too 1😊
Yes, what happened?
Yes I’d like to know too
You are an amazing young woman. I love how much you give back to the community. Those are 8 mm home movies. You can probably take them to a local company that will transfer to a digital format or pick up a projector on e-bay for a low price. I think you're on to an interesting, creative idea to print/transfer some of the slide images to art. Wish you all the best!!
Pilgrim would like you to check the "Clearance Bin" behind PetSmart!
A little tip for ur viewers. When ur showing a printed shirt like the Dallas Mavericks, show the front design cause viewers like to see items if they are trendy or nice. U knew what it was, but u did let the viewer see the design, same with other printed shirt. Storage tubs e always great to have to organize ur finds! Yay!
Probably someone already told you but those are old 8mm or probably Super 8 movie reels. You need a special projector for them. That's how people watched videos before UA-cam! ;-) Last I saw, there was a niche market for old films like this. I haven't been in that world for years though.
Congratulations on your 3000 subscribers. You are going to do really well on you tube. I have been an avid watcher of you tube for 9 years. I had been sick and not able to work so it became my whole world. I have made many friends from youtube. I finally got a channel of my own so everyone would know who I am. We are cabin life but reselling is a big part of what We love to do. I watch van lifers and Rv living, home steading , resellers, snow dogs, because I have two huskies and Thrifters just lots of fun channels. I have seen people who have 40 subscribers go to 200 thousand. You are very genuine and I just know you will have a great following. Keep up the good work. I hope your eye is ok. And your having a nice day. Enjoy the weekend. Lots of people move over long weekends so you might find some good things to resale. Take care, Leslye
U should have gone thru the clothing with us,may I suggest watching other dumpster divers like Steven and Steph or freaking frugal
Yes Lynn! StevenSteph, Freakin Frugal, Taco Stacks, Frugal Family, Daily Diver... all my favs... I've added your channel to these favorites.
Love Steve & Steph
Yeah they're cool. But Kelly really is the dumpster diving queen. 🤘
They all like... but kelly is young and adorable even if shes young she is not shy do to dumster diving thats what i like her most.
There's a strong resale market on EBay for old photos and slides depending on subject matter (which you probably already know). It's interesting to see how many people are creeped out by old photographs. Personally I love them and like to imagine the stories behind the photos! (Although so sad to see people's whole life histories in a dumpster) 😩
With the slides you can punch holes in corner of paper frame and wire/ string them together to make a curtain,room divider and lamp shade which allows light in and neat to look at . But I loved your idea of taking them to scraps.
The UNT thing is a pocket for the outside of your cellphone.
You are helping yourself and i am happy for you. GOD BLESS YOU GIRL. You are not stealing you are doing something honest and I salute you.🇯🇲
The crazy thing is people throw away stuff that can be reusable of sold online love your videos💖
You passed up the folding table and a lockable trunk. If you ever decide to do a flea market, those items come in handy. the trunk would sell fast and the table is portable and they are always good to arrange things off the ground ( boxes good to set on the ground). Also, just a suggestion, I know it seemed overwhelming, but the tub next to the area where the laptop was found, might have had the battery and cord you need. A strategy is to separate the parts but still throw out. I would have taken a breath and looked a bit more. But I don't dive, I'm too old but if I could, I would, you make it look like fun.
I have a suggestion I take a step stool to help with diving. It might help you too
I found a 2-step ladder that I use.
I to have a step stool a grabber and a long hook thingy like for pull large fish out of the water but it's very sharp and pointed so I cut the sharp tip off and filed it smooth sobi can grab boxes to pull closer to me plus it's expandable too. Works great.
Take a friend...there are dangerous, opportunistic weirdos out there
Donna Mendez make videos I’ll definitely subscribe to your channel if you do ! 😊😊😊👩🏼💻
It would have to small and very stable and then there is the leaning into far if you have something to stand on......
Update us on what you find and how much you sell it for!!! You should definitely try to give hauls after you dive each time and then how you sold it // how much profit you made!!!
I really wish you would go back to the dumpsters behind big box stores. I have had luck with CVS (drugstore), dollar general, big lots, etc. All that Godiva chocolate made me drool !!! Keep making videos - we LOVE them - you can tell because you have over 13,000 subs now !!!
I hope your eye is OK, I enjoy watching you dive. Be careful
Your dog is adorable 🌻
Yes!! Some thrift stores toss a lot of useable items out because they r too lazy to mark down or too much stuff arrived. U should contact a pantry and donate clothes. Churches too. There are definitely places to drop that huge amount of clothes that will be taken in.
I wanna go diving with you !!! You have some git up n go !!! Oh and btw maybe find a different CVS to dive at because they are notorious for tossing GOOD stuff !!!!
It's the abominable snowman from Rudolph the red nose reindeer! He's awesome 😍
Havasu lake is in arizona, Lake Havasu city, The real London bridge was sent from england an reassembeled at lake havasu, Also The RTR is held there every winter, Rubber Tramp Rondayvue, is a vanner meetup...
Love all your videos 👌👌 unbelievable how America has so much waste. New subscriber here all the way from Auckland New Zealand 🇳🇿
Nina Dabro I agree. We here in America are so wasteful. Stores throw good food away everyday yet we have kids that go to bed hungry. I do think this come from having frivolous law suits. So because of that people are scared to give or donate. Even pet stores will rip open perfectly good dog/cat food and dump it all in the dumper instead of donating to animal shelters.
Having been all over the world throughout my 17 military year career, I'm always heart broken with all the waste here.
@@karenculpepper973 stores are so wasteful here. There is a bakery my friend and I check from time to time and we usually find 15 to 20 loaves of perfectly good bread.
Edit: Just remembered that we once found 3 large flat screen TVs in their original packaging. Unfortunately the didn't work but it looks like they were damaged when they were thrown out instead of before.
Brendan Smith it really is a shame the amount we waste overflowing the landfills. Shelters would have loved the bread. A family struggling to put food on the table would have loved that bread. We have become such a high and mighty country that is too good to eat day old bread.
So Kiwis don't chuck stuff out like this ? I'm watching in London UK, we have this problem too. Unfortunately!!!!
Some people do art shows of lost photographs while keeping the identities anonymous. I love the boater photo!
Get a pair of workwear grip gloves. They are coated with a rubber dip on the palm area so that your hands don't get wet and stuff doesn't slip off. They also have a better fit and they are very inexpensive. I get a pack of 5 for 5 bucs at Home Depot and they last forever.
Stains can be removed with dawn blue dish washer detergent. I have cleaned it off leather before. Hope it works for you. Enjoy your videos.
The HP laptop needs a battery which is not expensive, but the laptop may be too out of date to bother. You are doing such a worthwhile thing to save all this from landfill, and your videos are addictive! I love to see what you have found. Please wear stout gloves, to protect from grime, germs and also used syringe needles which may have been thrown in the dumpster by addicts.
Hi Kelly I love your videos just wanted to say that pilgrim is such a sweet dog to help with his shedding a good brush every day would help with that they lose a lot of hair especially in the spring and fall ! brushing will help his coat and skin stay healthy.
Those slides and reals are very cool when I grew up my neighbors took the reals of me as a kid and they also had tons of slides. I think they are collectible. And worth something. It’s sad the person most likely passed away. I think when my neighbors died they threw out all the old slides of us growing up. Wish I had gotten them. But their children just didn’t care about them. It’s sad I know but maybe someone got them and I’m blown up in a frame somewhere. They had great slides like of us at the fair grounds. It blows my mind how much things have changed in just 50 years. Leslye
You are so... brave, I never look inside the dumpsters unless it’s over flowing. Just got one of those laptops off OfferUp for $10, the only thing wrong with it was dead hard drive. That green thing sticks to the back of your phone for cards and stuff.
Love watching you dive. Nice knowing things either get resold, donated or kept for use!!!
I watch you all the time, you are great, and only pick good stuff, Keep it up,
Tight fitting latex gloves are best so you can feel everything without actually coming into contact with things. Walmart has tight fitting Ombre-looking gloves in different colors in the garden department.
I agree,tighter gloves
Those are old home movies of someones life and you need a movie projector to watch them,, I love diving with you.. I want to go out and dive myself.. I will never look at a dumpster the same again.. LOL you go girl..
I love watching your videos.Its therapy to me love you
I'm so glad I found you! lol I'll be binge watching for a while, and waiting for your next exciting adventure. You are so personable and funny. Thanks for sharing this with us.
1:38 for times like that I use a broom handle with a coat hook on the end. Hook it through the side of the box and it makes it a lot easier to lift.
The fishing tape is used for pulling electrical wires thru electrical conduit. That size fishing new can go for 60 to 80 bucks.
I'm a 73-year-old greatgrandma...I sure enjoy your videos...you're so sweet...keep going!!
Growing up used to dumpster dive with my mother. The county i live it we don't have trash pickup you have to haul to the dump or compactor site. The compactor sites has no one working them. So there is always stuff. Also the
university is one of the best places to go at the end of school year. College students throw out so much good stuff. Have gotten few bar size refrigerators. My son has 1 in his room and my husband has 1 in his office. Stay safe and always wear your gloves, use a step stool and a grabber... Good luck on your next dive... P.S. Watching you dive gets me excited!! Thanks for sharing..
You rock, girl! Keep up the great work salvaging!!
Oh- and def. get a grabber-- or a long-handled garden claw to help you get those just out of reach things!
Oh. Never mind. (!)
I love finding storage bins for free. They're so expensive.
It's good to see a young person with a kind and care heart for Mother Earth and her fellow man. Gloves are very good..lol!! I live in a small rural town pop. Less then 10,00 and unless I travel 45 to 50 miles to a college town of 50,000 population it's slim pickens ... But I still have occasional fun! The college town/apt complex dumpsters is a great avenue to dive that I just never thought of. Good luck dear girl 😘
Really enjoy your videos you have such a nice smile
Just found your channel and I LOVE IT! You are such a sweetheart and seem so genuinely nice. Thanks for sharing your finds. So fun!
I would also love to see dumpster diving for Christmas gifts.
8:51 that fish tape is actually an electricians tool. Used to run wires in walls.
I hope your eye feels better. Thank you for this wonderful video!
Good for you girl you go!
🐱😍🐺
I enjoy so much watching your videos. It’s amazing how much you find. I love how much you donate to help others.
The laptop probably works. Businessmen on location get new ones and toss the companies old one. Bring it to Best Buy and ask them to check it first if u should buy a power cord for it or not. Then buy the cord on eBay.
That looks like someone's life in that box.
nice of u to donate the things u found. keep the good one n sell or can use yourself if u do not want just donate them.wayu to go girl
you need a projector for the reels of film along with some empty reels
Keep up the good work 💪
Congrats! You're a breath of fresh air!! Thank you for all you do!!
I am so glad I found you. Your personality and positivity is such a delight. God Bless you in all your endeavors 💗
A re-sell craftshop!!! what a Dream : )
Cardboard folding table. I grab those, cut the nasty vinyl top off with a razor knife. Use at my gsale for display. I do drive a pickup truck.
You are so adorable and your enthusiasm is contagious! I just adore your videos!!
we love you. you are so upbeat.
one mans junk is another mans treasure
So I am
Now addicted to your channel!!! Love your videos and I love your appreciation for everything. I am big on thrift stores and Goodwill and garage sales. I would love to dd but we are such a tiny town we have no good stores whatsoever
I heard your voice and I did not have to think twice, I knew it was you, very charming character you are, voice and all~!!
I have to use special eye drops and it makes your eyes more susceptible to bruising. I can always trace my blood shot eyes back to rubbing them too hard when itchy or feels like dirt in them. Probably not a serious issue, just keep an "eye" on it if happening too much.
Go girl.you are doing great.Just a fyi..IF you dive at the crafts stores magazines an sewing patterns sell real well on ebay..
Love your videos.
Really love watching your video. The fishing tape is to run wires through a wall not sporting equipment
you're in such a great location to find a variety of items as students move in and out--and it's great you're saving what reusables you can from the landfill
New subscriber. I'm so glad I found you! Love your videos.
Hey so I know this video is old and all but I am binge watching all of your videos so here are some tips for laptops:
*If you suspect there might be water inside put in it rice, don´t charge it up
*If you don´t think there is water damage then plug it and see if it charges, if it doesn´t:
a) you can clean up the charging port with appropiate materials
b) You can take the battery out so you can test if its what is malfuctioning
c) If it charges up, but there is no home screen, unplug it, take the battery off and press the power button 30 seconds then plug it and try it againg
d) Sometimes laptop don´t start because there is a lot of dust inside, so you can clean them up with appropiate material.Note if you decide to do this take a picture before so you can use as a reference to plug it back together. If you can find the model is best to guide yourself based on a youtube tutorial.
I absolutely love your videos. Newly subscribed. Keep making them. I was going to say you really need gloves and a grabber stick and maybe a foldup stool. I love watching Steve Steph Resale Killers as well. They actually have two channels. Anyhow, thanks for taking me along with you on your dumper diving adventures. Much Love from the Navajo Nation... Florene
35k now baby girl! Congrats! Me and my daughter love watching your videos! My daughter is 9 and she loves thrifting with me. I think you've inspired her to go diving now! Lol
I really enjoy watching your channel.Recycling is the best.You are a great lady.
You can use the thinner type of gloves, but you need to wear them!!! We don’t want you to get sick!!!
You have such a happy outgoing personality I'm glad you are here on UA-cam. 😁😁
I think those are 8mm films. Most likely home movies .. You could probably find a player on ebay and instructions on youtube :) . I remember these in the 60's.
Congratulations on the 3,000 Subscribers!!! Keep on Diving!!!💞💞
i JUST discovered you!! What you are doing is where my heart is. I was sitting on the edge of my seat waiting for the thrift store report at the end, but was sad when it didn't happen. Maybe in a future one ( I am starting with your first video going toward present day on you tube) you will finish that story? Thank you for what you are doing!!
The green UNT plastic piece is an item you stick to the back of your phone and slip in your license or a credit card in the sleeve so you don't have to carry a purse.
I love that you are able to find all these dumpster treasures ! The drug issues in our community are high so i would worry about getting jabbed by a used needle. A pair of leather gloves that are light to protect yourself should be a consideration. Love your happpy smiley face!
