Part 1 - Dumpster Diving on College Move Out Weekend!!
Вставка
- Опубліковано 13 тра 2022
- It's that time of year again! The students are moving out and throwing things away in record numbers. --- To get a jump start on the weekend, I went solo diving on Thursday to check some dumpsters near the campus and get a feel for where the big construction dumpsters were being set up. I love the pet carrier backpack and am excited to try out the hammock! Alex and I have been diving soo much this weekend and I will be posting more college move out videos soon, so stay tuned!! I'm so excited to show you how much we've been finding!
As always, thank you so much for watching and I hope you have a wonderful day! xoxo

My local college puts up a giant tent this time of year for 'futons and furniture' and the going students bring stuff there so others can come get it for free. Wish more would do this
THAT is a great idea! Re-use, reduce and recycle useable items and keep it all on campus too.
Great 👍 idea 💡!!!
What a great idea, so smart
Finally smart 🙌 way to repurpose great things , save $ and keep outta the land fills ! Win win for sure 👍👍
in Scotland some charities put out special big bins for the students to donate all their bedding, towels and clothes at end of year when they leave.
The cutout on tub slat is for a wine glass I bet 👍🏻
The bath tab, the other part is to hold a glass through, you slot the stem of a wine/gin/champagne glass in it, and it holds it for you x
I work at a college in FL; and I found a BRAND NEW still gift wrapped sound bar. A Steve Madden leather satchel. Lots of cleaning supplies. But, I’m mostly happy that I found stuff for my teacher friends ! (We have an attached 2-8th grade school off which I’m partly responsible for) made their days for sure.
I would love to be near a college when the students move out, so much is left! One good note, there is a college, Bowdoin College about an hour from me that hosts a rummage sale with all the leftover stuff that students leave/can’t take/don’t want. The money raised goes to a few charities in the area and it is mostly run by volunteers. It happens over a couple of days, with stuff cheaper each day. I can’t always go to it, but am happy that they do this, and I hear they raise a good bit of money.
As a mom, of 3 former college students….THANK YOU for reclaiming the items my kids were too dense to appreciate🤨 good grief the waste is so frustrating!!
Love you and your mission to rescue items❤️
First off, I absolutely love your hair pulled up like you did! So pretty! Can’t wait to see the continuation!
My son and his roommates furnished their college apartment from the dumpster. they stayed year round so at move out time they would just upgrade stuff as needed.
Smart young men! That's the way to do it!
My son had my husband's old full sized truck at college and he and a buddy of his would go around campus and the apartment complexes off campus and find good furniture. My son would list it on the local Facebook Marketplace and sell chairs, tables of all sizes, lamps, sofas, beds, rugs etc. He even sold some furniture to grad students and associate visiting professors who needed to furnish an apartment but didn't want to spend money on new items. He and his buddy eventually always had people asking what they had available for sale.
that is brilliant-thinking.. good for them!
@@thriftytowers7160 Two industrious young men. If you can flip something for a profit my son still posts items on his local Facebook Marketplace. Car parts do well too. He's sold bumpers if you can believe that! One man's "junk' is another man's" treasure" still rings true nowadays.
Love your videos! It really is a shame that people don't recycle more things. Good for you! It's wonderful that you help with your community food bank.
The slit in the bathroom bamboo thingy to hold a wine glass 🍷 👏👏👍✌️
I came to say the same thing 😁
Thanks to your channel I hit my 2nd college of the week. I want to slap these kids for the waste I saw!! Rescued lots of food, toiletries and a TON of clothing. Best score was an awesome purple and pink Adidas backpack with an almost new pair of Adidas ladies shoes inside! Lots of Adidas, Pink, Under Armor, Levi's, etc name brand clothing. I got a almost new skid proof mat for our tub and 2 big bath sheets!!
Spoiled kids are use to getting everything new and feel "entitled". Sad they don't appreciate what they have.
Sounds addictive fun
The author of my favorite book about dumpster diving referred to college students as wasteful pukoids. No offense intended but an accurate description.
@@jillpruett4772 ..May I ask the title of the book and author about dumpster diving? I agree so much waste when students move out that could be donated instead of throwing it away.
@@brendahyndman166 Art and Science of Dumpster Diving by John Hoffman. He also did another one later. You should be able to find on Amazon.
My daughter has one of those cat 'astronaut' carriers and it works really well😸 Also, in the pocket they really are claw covers😺
So many students are so spoiled and wasteful. I’m glad you are saving things. Perhaps you could just put out some kind of ad or service saying you’ll pick up the things the don’t want to take home BEFORE they throw away..like a salvage service??
Oh!! Those washers are GREAT!!
The salvage service is a great idea! She might end up with a lot of junk though, would have to do even more curb alerts!!
I don’t think that students are spoiled. They just don’t know any different . Some are very conscientious of the environment .
Some students are from out of state and taking home everything is not feasible.
@@splenderdo7939 that is totally understandable, but they could attempt to get rid of their things responsibly instead of throwing them away. They could do their own curb alert. It’s just lazy.
@@thesounknown They have enough to deal with. If they don't use it, they can throw it away.
I renently saw a guy with a parrot in one of those pet carriers in the grocery store. Pretty cool. Love your finds.
You really need a head cam. Makes it so hands free for ya.when you buy something from a garage/yard sale, ALL sales are final. That is the risk you take.
Amazing finds today! That slot on the tub tray is for a stemmed wine glass! 🍷
My son keeps begging for us to go dumpster diving since he started watching you with me! We live in Celina, not too far from you!
Good afternoon beautiful lady! So much fun watching you find stuff!
Whew! I'm ok just a little shaken up from the fall. 😂
🤣🤣🤣
glad you are okay!
😊
I love watching you and when your tripod crashed today I laughed so loud. "Are you OK"
Was too funny. Keep diving and never lose your sense of humor!
You look so healthy and well and happy I love your videos and especially when hubby is with you you are doing so well keep up the good work lots of love from Canada
Amazing haul! Hope you have fun on the hammock without burning your butts... Bless you guys and cutie Pilgrim... He's such a good dog!
Have a great day!
Thank you for such a great video ! When the tri- pod broke and we fell I was all wait we are falling !!! And you asked if we were ok was so awesome not that the tri pod broke that tunku asked if we were ok
Gotta love auto correct you asked if we were ok
That pet carrier may be cute but I would think the pet would get really hot in a plastic bubble even with the air vents.
So glad your uploading more often, your videos make me happy, like a video with a friend,❤️🤗
Maybe those lids will fit some of your other pots or pans. Nice when you have clear lids. 👍
Good evening sweetie, I usually don't comment much. I always enjoy seeing your videos. I never miss any of them. You found a lot of nice things. I'm sure you are going to be getting a lot more. College's are so awesome because they throw out everything.. Lol 😊. Looking forward to another video soon honey. You take care of yourself and God bless you and your family and Pilgrim too ❤️🌹🐾🐾🌹❤️
Love your finds this time of year! It’s crazy the good things that get tossed away!🫣
I’ve noticed you’ve seemed happier lately, & it definitely looks good on you!🙂💜Keep those good days comin’ girl! I genuinely love your laughter!🤍You make the sun shine a little brighter!☀️💕
Throw a big towel over the black hammock when you use it. Great finds.
The opening on the wood thing for the bath is for your glass of wine !😉😉
@Breafkast I also clean large rugs very similar. Use lowest setting on power washer so you dont blow holes in the rug. I use a 5gal.bucket of hot water with tide or other good laundry soap and a brush like you use to clean an RV or truck. Its on a handle and easy to actually scrub while standing.
You have got a good sun tan. The back pack is for a small dog or a cat
People put their birds in the cat carrier
Isn't that a little obvious
When you said “ are you guys ok? “, we felt the love. Great finds today. Makes me wish I lived near a college. Tide pods! Geesh!
I know how can anyone let along college kids afford to throw away those?even if it turned out they were allergic or they just dint like them .couldn't they have given them to someone.?
One of the lids might fit the pot you like. Great saves❤🌹
Hi, am always watching from the Philippines. I love it when you find great stuff in the dumpster that are useful. God bless 🤗🤗🤗
Great haul again, the bath bar is for a wine bottle, phone/tablet stand, and the cut out is for your win glass to slide into :)
The pink flower is a wave petunia. you can cut that back and get more life from the plant.
That made me smile so hard when you said are you guys ok :)
Finding free treasure is such a thrill! This month is “cleanup week” In our area, and people come from all over to “shop”! People put such amazing stuff out on the curb. We were having so much fun, searching for stuff, chatting about our cool finds! No hate, just the thrill of the hunt! And that’s just one month out of the year!!! You do this all the time!
The plants are thirsty give them some water. Nice finds!
Beautiful fur baby! Love your videos!
You found some good stuff. Hope the hammock works. They are so comfortable. Enjoyed. Thanks for sharing 🥰
I had a little pet carrier and it took my little dog 3.5 seconds to tear it to shreds. Needless to say we had to go to the hard plastic carrier. She likes it just fine! I like it when Alex goes with you too! It must be the Grandma in me but I just feel better. I love watching your channel!Keep up the good work! Please be careful and stay safe! ❤️❤️
The thing for the bathtub is really nice when u wanna relax and read or just soak and set candles on it. I loved mine.
Best, most interesting dumpster videos always come from you!
Cat nail things. The stuff you learn on You-tube!
Such fun!!!! Thank you and xoxox’s to Pilgrim!!! ♥️
Hi Kelly! Happy diving my friend ❤🤗👋
Great finds! Always so excited to see you! You make my day!
The plant in the orange-ish pot looks like a callibrocoa (super bells). Oh, and I think you should put a Squishmallow in that pet backpack!
Glass of wine while soaking in the tub.
Omg how cool! Thanks for sharing 🥰
The claw covers are a good idea! But I would be Cole slaw if I tried to use them on my cat -- Lol
The clear cup looks like it would fit my NutraBullet! Awesome finds today!😊
Yes, that's exactly what it's for!
Small haul u said, but great stuff. I’m alway happy watching divers save so much good n wonderful things from going to the landfill.
B4 you get rid of the pot covers try them on the pit n skillet
Or hold on to them until after your next couple of dives bcuz you may find the pots that go w/them. JS!!
Miss seeing Alex today.
You have come a long way w/your diving, proud of you. You’re always a blast of sunshine.
Those little washers are great
Cute cat carrier! Love the color. Yes, those are cat nail tips. I have some to sell in my yardsale today! Also I recently bought a wooden bath tray too from a thrift store for super cheap and excited to use mine too. I, like you, have always wanted one! Cool stuff for you.
Excellent work! Used to do this when I lived near a university in Oregon. Amazing what they toss out!
I really love watching you. I missed you while you were gone. I love your husband diving with you.
I love Pilgrim! What a good baby!
That ottoman is a great upcycle peice. The big ones can be turned into a coffee table with a glass top too.
Keep a tarp in your truck. Always good to save on cleaning up your truck bed, for when it rains, to cover your items if you go to shop somewhere. A small ladder would be helpful to reach items in dumpsters.
Hello Kelly!!
You can just put a beach towel over that hammock and you’re good to go! Great find!
Hope you get lots more!
The clear cup goes on one of those smoothie maker things.
It’s definitely a keeper!

A college in New England has a donation center for end of year stuff that is then available to anyone who needs it
So funny! My sister dropped me ( her phone) while we were talking this morning, then my daughter in love dropped me in the sink, them you dropped me! All in one day! 😳😳😳🙀
You were hitting the jackpot right away! You found some useful things for you and Alex too! I found a large centerpiece with artificial flowers, three glass candle holders on a shallow metal tray. The tray was bent in one corner. I was able to reshape the bent area. The price was $72. I found a useful black crate filled with metal bookends from Barnes & Noble. They also had thrown away a large toy train/car platform for kids. I had to leave it because it was very heavy, and I drive a two door Fiat. LOL! The scene had faded, but I would have had fun restoring the faded scene. I think the slot in the bath tray you found is for a handled, bath brush. I love the fact that you found plants you can use in your backyard. I got a laugh when you talked about the very large, student dumpster from last year I remembered it too. I have been watching you since the beginning.
I really need to get down to my local colleges!!!!
The long slot is for a wine glass ( on the bath tub thing). Love your videos
Hi! Those nail caps are to keep cats from scratching. My son used them because they’re kids play a little rough with the cat and was getting scratched.
They have a lot of videos on UA-cam especially Homestead videos to teach you how to make your own laundry soap and it's more affordable.
Love how much you are posting
Glad to see stuff being saved from the landfill. Great videos. 😊
I have been dying to dumpster dive and a college near me just had graduation yesterday...so I ventured out thanks to your videos and saved SO much stuff!!! My 7 year old was such a big helper and had a great time! Found my daughter a king sized bed frame still in the box! We barely skimmed the area too! Can't wait to do it again!!!!
Love the pet carrier 💖💖💖
College dumpsters must be the best. No worries about items all sprayed red or deliberately broken. No intense security people around. Motivation is there for students not to take the stuff back to whereever. Electronics and household basics that are so useful to you or for donation purposes.
Fun, FUN in the hot old Texas SUN!!;) Thanks for sharing this with us!! Take care! Peace to all... .......... 💜💙💜
Talk about right time and right place on the hammock. Nice find.
This was a super fun trip!
Hi hope your having a beautiful day🌺
The pink flowers are petunas. Hi Pilgrim you’re such a good boy ❤️
WOW !! Nice 👍 astronaut back pack. Nice detergent tab thingys. Really cute 🥰 things !! That’s a cute sign and bathroom thibgy would come in handy. That’s a waste then throwing away those Tide pods !! That’s crazy 😜 the stuff that they throw away. The pink one is petunia and it’s full sun
Our Move out for Colleges must have been last week no luck for me at Apartment complexes id get out n get that hammock girl! Great diving Kelli😍
I got excited with the 2 first items 😁 and so jealous of your beautiful sunshine 🌞 it's 57 degrees and raining...boooo! Oh and perfect t-shirt for the day 👌
Great finds today
Lovely haul kelly! 😍
Hi pilgrim 🐾❤️😁
Pretty cool finds especially the pet carrier ☺️
I love ❤️ love ❤️ more videos of you keep up the great work
Those caps are great for kitty claws. Keeps them from tearing up the furniture.
I’m so glad for the new videos too! Keep up the Good work!
Awesome finds .it's great that you resue this stuff
Loving all you found. Super score. The bathtub board is for candle, phone and glass of wine or drink in a stem glass. Take care 🙂
Currently binge watching the last few videos life has been so busy! I might purposely skip another few weeks so I can just binge again bc I’m having too much fun watching!!!!
I love your videos girl you make it look so fun one day I will try my shot at diving!
Much love from LA 🌴 ♥️
Great haul! Lovin the sunshine, drizzly here in the UK.
That big blue pan full of cigarette ends would make a good display bucket for little pots of herbs, indoors or out. I love recycling things like that. I have plants growing in my daughter's old wellies 😂💖 x
I love that pet carrier backpack.
I really liked that rug!
I tried those nail caps for both of my cats. They chewed them off..
The pet carrier is so cute 😍 now you need a kitten or a small breed dog to carry in there ❤
Yeah, it has me thinking I should get one for my little dog😍
I have always adopted my dogs from a shelter. Never had a bad one yet .😇🥰😍
OMG!!! Thats what I need for my kitty!!! Her claws are tearing me up!!! She just runs so hard & digs her claws for traction...LOL
I need one of those pet carrier backpacks. I have a 4 lb Morkie and when I take her anywhere she steals what ever she can get her mouth on!
I love your cheerfulness
That pink flower is a petunia I believe. I love finding plants!
