I will never shop at old navy again. This is despicable. So many without a thing to their name and Old Navy slashes instead of donating. So glad I watch you and learn about the companies that destroy usable merchandise. Keep diving and salvaging. Happy New Year
Maybe someone has mentioned this before, but as I was watching this it occurred to me churches might like to have these cut up clothes to make quilts with to send over seas. Just an idea.
You can make dog and cat coats out of the sleeves of of fleece and sweaters really fast. Some small dogs like Min-Pins, Chihauhau's, and cats like Devon Rex's and Sphynx etc have a hard time staying warm, so they wear sweaters often. Also animals that had a recent surgery and they'll use clothes instead of a cone to stop them from bothering the wound until it heals. All potentials to use the fabric on.
Imagine, these employees get paid to accept return merchandise and to destroy it. You are paying for them in the store's extra expenses. I stay away from there!
Steph: “I hear someone!” Continues looking! 😂😂😂 Ever since you’re first Old Navy video, I refuse to shop there! I never did really and never will. Sometimes people look for one shoe if the have an amputated leg or foot. I love Steve’s descriptions! I live how they put stickers on it to justify why they destroyed them! 😤😤😤😤😤
I wonder if a shoe repair place would help fix them and give them to a center that helps with the needy or homeless. It's so sad that the stores do that to items that could be wrote off and given to people that really need them 😡🤬😠😥😪 Thank you guys for doing what you do to help.
When we had to lock our dumpster sometimes we just made it look locked by twisting the lock in the right position without actually closing it. You might double check sometimes 😎🤗
It was explained to me that they get an allowance of $10,000 per year, for items that have been destroyed. So they cut them up to ensure they are destroyed. It's discusting and should be banned. They should be forced to donate to charity or oversease. SMDH! Thanks for trying to save stuff from the landfill. On to the next :).
I don’t understand why corporate stores do this to perfect clothes!! It’s beyond my comprehension. There are so many people who need clothes and food and other life essentials so why destroy when it can be used by someone. Makes me angry!!
It’s ridiculous because instead of destroying them they could cut the tags out which would prevent the returning‼️ Lol, I was writing this and Steph said the same thing‼️
It's sad they destroy clothes like that and I know it's not the employees fault they have to do what there told to do with the stuff but it's just heart breaking when someone in need could use it...
That sucks! The Old Navy by me doesn't slash. I've found a TON from them. And I know when ulta dumps their returns. BandN puts all their "damaged" toys and such neatly in a box.
Hi guys it breaks my heart people here in Australia have lost everything have nothing and they slice everything up and your homeless makes me cry xx Australia xx
Those companies should be ashamed!!!! I love that you guys are raising your voice against those unbeliveable policies! Happy New Year and lots of blessings ♡
Thanks Steph for keeping all of it to going in the landfills. You are soooooooo awesome both of you for trying to save our world from all the good things going into the landfills. You have showed others what you do and now they are looking in the dumpsters too making a little money and finding things their families can use as well anything to keep it from polluting our landfills even worse than they are from companies like this throwing away good stuff.
Good Video to open up the eyes of the public & organizations of what is being destroyed that could have clothed the less fortunate. So said & I hope that this is part of why you are going to be on a TV show. Enjoy Your Life
Hi Steve and Steph you are so right they could donate it to someone that could use it. It's a shame what this stores through away that some one could use. 👍 TFS enjoy your night you guys
Sadly, it is business and money before people. It makes me sad for this world. 😥You two do your best and I love you guys for it. Well done. You two are some of the best people around. 🙌💜
I got some real chuckles of of Steve's comments. It's like Steven said it's like a crime scene, how shameful OLD NAVY no wonder that I NEVER shop there!!! Thanks for the video you two love you both
Steph, if you're feeling crafty, you can throw any slashed wool sweaters into the washer and felt them. It'll produce a nice tight fabric that can be cut and used to make bags, mittens, hats, pet beds. Have to be a high content of wool, though.
Oh, all those jeans are perfect for making rugs...like make streams of the fabric, 3 streams like a braid, and just keep it going, sowing them together, like a round rug, for your bathroom, bedroom or whatever....it is soo cool, and last a long time!!!
Hi Steph, I was at that Old Navy dumpster earlier and saw that they had cut everything. I was hoping you would find it because I know you are good a fixing things.
Went out tonight and got 5 wall hangings. No broken glass no spray paint. Hair spray, two boxes of always pant liners, 2 crystal bowls still in box. 6 bottles of air wick warmer fabreze, carpet cleaner, two candles, divided lunch box with utensils. Not as much as i had hoped for but happy with it all the sane!
The more we speak out about this, the sooner change will (I hope and pray!) happen 👍 Thank you for showing those things, even though you know it will be cut up. Seeing it is shocking and we need shocking! 👍
I see potential in a lot of those clothes. There is enough fabric to make pillow covers and some childrens clothes from the adults things. I do that sort of thing with clothing from family members who have passed. they are called Memory pillows, memory bears, etc. I worked for a short time at a local Walmart and they have a destroy policy. When the store was being remodeled brand new electronics and more are thrown into the trash compactor instead of donating. Perfectly healthy plants destroyed to make room for a new delivery. I worked in the garden department. It was more than I could tolerate and that is why I had a short stay in that job. Plus the other employees were hateful bullies.
Walmart is awful to work for!! In my experience anyway. And many others I've known that worked there. Not all the same location either. Sam Walton was a shark and his kids that now own the company are worse. There is a documentary about it, I don't know the name. But it showed how Walmart would purchase merchandise from manufacturers at such a small profit margin for the manufacturers so that Walmart can sell it cheaper than other retailers. Walmart has so many stores, they make their money on volume so they can undercut other retailer prices. Not to mention what they pay employees and how their employees are treated. Walmart single-handedly drives American wages down. They are the largest employer in the world. So what they pay their employees and how they treat their employees serves as a benchmark for other employers.
Hi Steve and Stephanie,love your channel, I would keep some of the items that are cut up and use them for their material worth.The sweater you can use the sleeves and make fall pumpkins,and there are many other uses' for all of the materials' that you find. I watch all of your videos,please continue the great work that you do?
Those blue jeans could be saved to make skirts, we used to do that in high school. The sleeves of the shirts & sweaters can be stuffed to make neck travel pillows. The kids are also making long fingerless gloves & sleeves to wear with t-shirts. There's alot of material that can be saved there.
It is real sad they did that we have found clothes for kids and we donated them to a man who takes them to a shelter we gave gloves and hats and even some toys too just crazy love ❤️ how Steve laughs with certain items lol 😂. You guys are fun
Amy D. Thompson-Bernard In this case we are not talking about food being dumped, here it is the very obvious slashing of clothing and shoes, not by the customer but by the employees.
Hey, Steph I love your channel! You guys are awesome. Steph I don’t know how crafty you are, but, I would maybe sew some different fabric to the back of the green sweater that was slashed down the middle & make a swing sweater. & w/ the shoes slashed down the middle or sides glue on, or makes holes for ribbon or lacing & make them appear that they were made that way to be laced up. The sweater that they cut completely in half, sew up the back seam, leaving the front open, making it like a cardigan.
Ohh and the off white or brown wrapping paper I use on all my projects. From trash to treasure 🤩💝 if anybody can fix them you can Steph. I know I had leather fight coats for here in Eastern NC. Went to Maine and oh my Gawd! We went to the thrift store and traded two pure leather costs that were almost $200 each. For down coats like that one with the zipper they screwed up.
It was a beautiful day her in OCSoCal! You two looked happy doing your DD in nice weather. Steph sweetie, you are going to be busy repairing all those nice clothes. It is messed up, Steve...there just isn't a logical reason to cut the clothes up. Thanks for the experience. On to the next❣🚙💨
I can not believe that there is somebody destroing good things. I am from another part of the world, living in small country in Europe, that is in bed financial period and I realy dont understand that there is some people thinking that way as thay. You are awsome and funny to watch.
You could make pillows out of the damaged sweaters. I get old sweaters from goodwill and I make throw pillows out of them. Just an idea of how to get some use out of the cut sweaters.
Theres a charity here in UK call 'New Life' that large stores donate their returns and not sold items, everything is debranded and sold , I think they have about three or four large stores the one I know is in Cannock , household items too, it is always full of customers. The charity supports new borns hence 'New Life' It's a really good idea that works Enjoy you day! Xxxx
If the clothing company is worried about the donated cloths"returning for discount" they could simply cut or mark the brand tags so they are not returnable. Or simpler yet no receipt no refund . Steve you definitely can give a person the giggles :) Hi Steph wish you better luck next dive :)
It’s sickening that they don’t donate to the less fortunate people
I totally agree 💯%
I will never shop at old navy again. This is despicable. So many without a thing to their name and Old Navy slashes instead of donating. So glad I watch you and learn about the companies that destroy usable merchandise. Keep diving and salvaging. Happy New Year
I don't shop there anymore either.They could donate them to people that have lost everything in a house fire,too.
Maybe someone has mentioned this before, but as I was watching this it occurred to me churches might like to have these cut up clothes to make quilts with to send over seas. Just an idea.
Great idea!
My thought exactly!
You can make dog and cat coats out of the sleeves of of fleece and sweaters really fast. Some small dogs like Min-Pins, Chihauhau's, and cats like Devon Rex's and Sphynx etc have a hard time staying warm, so they wear sweaters often. Also animals that had a recent surgery and they'll use clothes instead of a cone to stop them from bothering the wound until it heals. All potentials to use the fabric on.
And leg warmers and scarves for cold weather
Good idea
So sad when there are so many people that could benefit from free clothes. They should donate to the homeless shelter instead of destroying things.
Steve "Those will make some good panties." Then he stares at screen. I laughed so much I almost needed a pair of those panties!!
sld1116 he’s so funny lol
He’d better be careful poking the bear
I feel like saying to them “I won’t buy from you anymore, because you trash and slash
Linda Stark sane
I love that one face Steve makes!!!
Imagine, these employees get paid to accept return merchandise and to destroy it. You are paying for them in the store's extra expenses. I stay away from there!
Steph: “I hear someone!”
Continues looking! 😂😂😂 Ever since you’re first Old Navy video, I refuse to shop there! I never did really and never will. Sometimes people look for one shoe if the have an amputated leg or foot. I love Steve’s descriptions! I live how they put stickers on it to justify why they destroyed them! 😤😤😤😤😤
I am so so glad you guys call out these stores
I wonder if a shoe repair place would help fix them and give them to a center that helps with the needy or homeless. It's so sad that the stores do that to items that could be wrote off and given to people that really need them 😡🤬😠😥😪 Thank you guys for doing what you do to help.
Completely ridiculous that they destroy clothes that a person can use. There are so many in need 😢 Makes me sick 😖
When Steve said “make panties with” then made that face... My iced tea almost came out nose 😂😂
I know right! LOL!!
😂
When we had to lock our dumpster sometimes we just made it look locked by twisting the lock in the right position without actually closing it. You might double check sometimes 😎🤗
I really love that you rescue and recycle discarded goods to help people out. You two are awesome 💕
Totally agree with Steve, Old Navy shld be ashamed.
It was explained to me that they get an allowance of $10,000 per year, for items that have been destroyed. So they cut them up to ensure they are destroyed. It's discusting and should be banned.

They do that so one can return them
I mean so no one can return them
It’s ridiculous because instead of destroying them they could cut the tags out which would prevent the returning‼️ Lol, I was writing this and Steph said the same thing‼️
😭 boycott old Navy, I say!
The stores need shaming at what they throw out, and they need to have pressure put on them to donate to the needy,schools, shelters etc
It's sad they destroy clothes like that and I know it's not the employees fault they have to do what there told to do with the stuff but it's just heart breaking when someone in need could use it...
Keep in mind fabric is still usable.
That sucks! The Old Navy by me doesn't slash. I've found a TON from them. And I know when ulta dumps their returns. BandN puts all their "damaged" toys and such neatly in a box.
Steve “extra large babies” 😂😂😂
Those single shoes can be donated to people that need just one shoe.
I donate them to national odd shoe exchange whenever i get them from old navy. They help all ages with just 1 foot.
Old Navy would rather destroy them. Sad.
Hi guys it breaks my heart people here in Australia have lost everything have nothing and they slice everything up and your homeless makes me cry xx Australia xx
Steph I think they have been listening to you sewing them up. OK I heard you talk about the lady that can use the fabric. Keep up the good work.
Every time you go to Old Navy the clothes are torn up. I wouldn't even go there any more.
@Patricia Bishop
Especially if it’s gonna cause such aggravation, I feel like I can see Steve’s blood pressure skyrocket.😟
Guys still very important to see the waste of these companies that don't care to donate to the needy. Thanks for this video. 🥰
Thanks for watching 😊
Those companies should be ashamed!!!! I love that you guys are raising your voice against those unbeliveable policies! Happy New Year and lots of blessings ♡
The shoes cut down front, fold under stitch add eyelets...and a shoelace
I hate when stores damage items like that. There are so many ppl in need. Ty Steph for trying to fix whatever u can. ♥️
Steph I have confidence that you can fix anything even if it's been cut. You are very resourceful, talented and of course sweet. Good luck.
Yall are great, love the fact yall donate the clothes, the stores that destroy them are heartless..
Steve you had me laughing at your crime scene comment
😂
Sad but true. You guys are the best at saving what you can!
Give the one shoe to the vet orgs cause they need them for someone who has lost a leg. I see people always asking for them.
I can't help it! Steve makes me laugh out loud... love you both!
i've been sick with the stomach flu and i've been binge watching yalls channel and it's been so much fun. you guys are awesome!
Hope you feel better soon 🙏😊❤️
Thanks Steph for keeping all of it to going in the landfills. You are soooooooo awesome both of you for trying to save our world from all the good things going into the landfills. You have showed others what you do and now they are looking in the dumpsters too making a little money and finding things their families can use as well anything to keep it from polluting our landfills even worse than they are from companies like this throwing away good stuff.
i love to watch you both. i like it when you whisper going threw the dumpster and then it makes alot of noise when your going threw the dumpster. lol
Steve, you are so hilarious. Lol. Made my day after a 2 hour commute to and from work today.
Thanks for watching 😊❤️
People in Australia are being displaced by the fires and have nothing and Old Navy are slashing returns. NEVER shopping there again
it will cost them money to send the clothes anywhere. they don't like spending money. they could sell them in the shop for a dollar, but they won't.
@@alanhorne5911 I agree but they are paying someone to slash the stuff. that's why I don't shop there
Good Video to open up the eyes of the public & organizations of what is being destroyed that could have clothed the less fortunate. So said & I hope that this is part of why you are going to be on a TV show. Enjoy Your Life
Hi Steve and Steph you are so right they could donate it to someone that could use it. It's a shame what this stores through away that some one could use. 👍 TFS enjoy your night you guys
Southern Indiana is watching and we love you.
Just FUN disclosure. You dumpster diving is my 5 years olds favorite good night video.
Sadly, it is business and money before people. It makes me sad for this world. 😥You two do your best and I love you guys for it. Well done. You two are some of the best people around. 🙌💜
Steph your so sweet, cuz I know you'll try to fix them clothes, especially the little kids clothes 💯💯💖💖
They should cut the tags off and donate to homeless. And you can make purses out of the jeans.
Very cute bags and aprons can be made from those jeans! Also good for quilting.
Lol!! Your husband, so funny!
We love watching yaw!
I got some real chuckles of of Steve's comments. It's like Steven said it's like a crime scene, how shameful OLD NAVY no wonder that I NEVER shop there!!! Thanks for the video you two love you both

Great idea Steve there are ways of donating to help the unfortunate with destroying and wasting usable clothes it’s sickening companies do this
That was crazy. At least you tried guys.💚
Oh, all those jeans are perfect for making rugs...like make streams of the fabric, 3 streams like a braid, and just keep it going, sowing them together, like a round rug, for your bathroom, bedroom or whatever....it is soo cool, and last a long time!!!
I see all that and can't help but think about a crazy quilt.
Hi Steph,
I was at that Old Navy dumpster earlier and saw that they had cut everything. I was hoping you would find it because I know you are good a fixing things.
They could mark the labels so that it cant be returned
@Jane Stevens
I have a local store (Hamricks) that sells Old Navy stuff w/ the tag covered up so, I wonder what’s the deal?🤷🏼♀️
Yup all they have to do is cut a corner or notch out of the inside label. Simple. Easier than jaggedly cutting up the whole garment, especially shoes.
Jane Stevens agreed!!
I just said this to my mom. Cut the tag in half and that way they would know not to take it back at the stores.
@@nikkiworm254 How odd! If you find out let us know.
I siil watch you're dumpster diving best show and flea markets good
Awww that sucks..... love your channel 💯💜
Thanks for watching
Steph you could also take a army green lace fabric for that green shaw and sew it in to the back to make it look even more fashionable
Went out tonight and got 5 wall hangings. No broken glass no spray paint. Hair spray, two boxes of always pant liners, 2 crystal bowls still in box. 6 bottles of air wick warmer fabreze, carpet cleaner, two candles, divided lunch box with utensils.

Those denim jeans will come in handy for patches.
OH Steve, you make me laugh so hard! lol!
Hi Steve and Stephanie,love your channel, I would keep some of the items that are cut up and use them for their material worth.The sweater you can use the sleeves and make fall pumpkins,and there are many other uses' for all of the materials' that you find. I watch all of your videos,please continue the great work that you do?
There's a lot of fabric that crafters would love!
That sweater Steve held up is great for making hats and mittens, and the sleeves can be turned into leg warmers, arm warmers or fingerless gloves.
Great couple.
Did I mention that you guys are awesome? You are AWESOME!!!
Aww thank you 😊
I just posted a tweet to old navy! I’m sure that my one opinion doesn’t matter to them. But this makes me sick!!! Donate old navy ! 🤬🤬

So sad to see so much destroy but keep up the good work Blessings always from Puerto Rico with love
Good evening and good morning to StevaNSteph😄
I enjoyed watching your videos😊👍🏼
The slash shoes with pair can be repair stitch add some art craft and do DIY😄
Steve, you crack me up!
Thanks for watching ❤️
Just imagine what the landfills look like with all this purposely destroyed clothing....all for the love of money!!
would love to see a video after Steph repairs the items, how do y'all repair shoes, y'all are awesome,
It is real sad they did that we have found clothes for kids and we donated them to a man who takes them to a shelter we gave gloves and hats and even some toys too just crazy love ❤️ how Steve laughs with certain items lol 😂. You guys are fun
Thanks for watching ❤️
Yes Steve big business has forgotten about corporate social responsibility.
1168
Many times it’s not that they forgot. It’s that they cannot lawfully donate the goods anymore.
Amy D. Thompson-Bernard In this case we are not talking about food being dumped, here it is the very obvious slashing of clothing and shoes, not by the customer but by the employees.
That’s great that you give it to the lady to make the blankets. It is a shame they destroy all the clothes.
Idk if you still have the Jean's but my mom makes jean quilts and they're amazing you can make squares with functional pockets!
Yaaayyyyy a dumpster diving video let gooooo 🙂❤
I found a great bag last week at Old Navy. Today in my town, everything cut
I had a really shitty day today . Steve made my laugh so much with the “ Breast “ comment. Thanks for all that you do ❤️x
Thanks for watching Michelle 🙏😊❤️
Totally agree with y'all. They could've donated it and took the loss.
Hey, Steph I love your channel! You guys are awesome. Steph I don’t know how crafty you are, but, I would maybe sew some different fabric to the back of the green sweater that was slashed down the middle & make a swing sweater. & w/ the shoes slashed down the middle or sides glue on, or makes holes for ribbon or lacing & make them appear that they were made that way to be laced up.

Thanks for the tips Charlena 😊
Ohh and the off white or brown wrapping paper I use on all my projects. From trash to treasure 🤩💝 if anybody can fix them you can Steph. I know I had leather fight coats for here in Eastern NC. Went to Maine and oh my Gawd! We went to the thrift store and traded two pure leather costs that were almost $200 each. For down coats like that one with the zipper they screwed up.
Todays Steve and Steph movie: A tragedy. Sometimes you guys do Comedy, inspiration, excitement...and sometimes tragedy. Good variety.
Thanks for watching 😊
It was a beautiful day her in OCSoCal! You two looked happy doing your DD in nice weather. Steph sweetie, you are going to be busy repairing all those nice clothes. It is messed up, Steve...there just isn't a logical reason to cut the clothes up. Thanks for the experience. On to the next❣🚙💨
Some of the big clothes...a chunk of the good fabric can be made into throw pillows or recover seats of chairs and stools! Especially kiddy stuff.😎👍
I can not believe that there is somebody destroing good things. I am from another part of the world, living in small country in Europe, that is in bed financial period and I realy dont understand that there is some people thinking that way as thay. You are awsome and funny to watch.
The sweater sleeves could be cut off and used as leg warmers.
You could make pillows out of the damaged sweaters. I get old sweaters from goodwill and I make throw pillows out of them. Just an idea of how to get some use out of the cut sweaters.
Oh Steve you’re so funny your on fire today
I totally agree with Steve!
Steve you are so funny😂. I like it when you all read why things get returned. Has “homegirl” returned anything lately😁
Homegirl 😂 😂 😂
Theres a charity here in UK call 'New Life' that large stores donate their returns and not sold items, everything is debranded and sold ,
I think they have about three or four large stores the one I know is in Cannock , household items too, it is always full of customers.
The charity supports new borns hence 'New Life'
It's a really good idea that works
Enjoy you day! Xxxx
Awesome ❤️ Great example of “ it can be done if they want to do it!”
If the clothing company is worried about the donated cloths"returning for discount" they could simply cut or mark the brand tags so they are not returnable. Or simpler yet no receipt no refund . Steve you definitely can give a person the giggles :) Hi Steph wish you better luck next dive :)
