- Hey y’all and welcome back to the channel! We went back out after unloading the truck and ended up finding SO much more in the college dumpsters. It really feels like it never ends!
As always, thank you so much for watching and I hope you have a wonderful day! Happy diving xoxo

I love watching you kids dumpster dive I have not dumpster dive for five years I quit at age 70. I so enjoy your videos and your happy personalities are so infectious . 👍👍
Love when Alex gets in the dumpster
Every time I’m told to leave or somebody mentions being told, I can’t help but think of that baby that was found in a dumpster and saved by divers.
Also, of course the waste is ridiculous. Keep diving you inspire me to keep checking!
Love what you guys do. Wish we had done it back in our days in college. Please just make sure the medications you’re salvaging aren’t past their expiry date.
Love when you dive together. He gets in there and looks for all the hidden treasures! 😊
Kelly and Alex!!! Thanks for taking us along!!! I appreciate you both so much!!! So much saved !!! Stay safe stay great and keep up the good work!!!!
Alex in the dumpsters is the best!!! Haha that white mask was too funny!
It is such a pleasure to watch when Kelly finds something, she is like a kid in a candy shop, so excited. Keep moving on guys 😊
Our society is so weird. We should be more ashamed of adding to the dumpster than taking anything out of it. Such a shame Kelly & Alex even have to think twice about the laws or others views of them. Also a shame dumpster diving is associated with making a mess when most divers I know (or see on YT) are cleaning up while they go. Keep up the good work guys ❤
I posted once about diving on my personal facebook page and had about 3 people comment about it being gross etc. I love going and seeing what I get and what I found that's useful, and I save a lot of money on groceries too. It gives me a thrill but also makes me sad and angry to see how much gets thrown away. I just read a book called "Secondhand" by Alex Minter, and even a lot that people try to give away and sell eventually gets thrown away.
Thank you so much for the tip on author Alex Minter. I was very interested in his stance regarding the manufacturing of QUALITY goods.
“ to promote initiatives to boost product longevity and repairability.”
@@dennycorsa5760 just looked into purchasing this book, used, of course, and I think the author's first name is Adam. Thanks for hooking me up, though.
@@kathyf5549 It is - I'm sorry, I must've been distracted.
@@calibean7736 I hope you read and enjoy the book! As kathyf5549 noted below, it's actually Adam Minter. He wrote two books, but I haven't read the other yet.
I hope after you have your big garage so you can do another blog on you camping that was one of my favorites. Thanks for all you guys do and saving all of this stuff from the landfills you do such an amazing job with such a great attitude love watching you both😊
i’m always shocked that people throw so much away 😢
Well Alex adds a little humor in diving, you two are so cute and fun!
Thank you Kelly and Alex. So many usable items that would just be in the landfill if it was not for you. Keep up the good work.
I just may be in a bad head space today, but seeing all that stuff the kids throw in the trash makes me mad! If they had to work and pay for things their self, they wouldn't be doing that. These are are our leaders of tomorrow? Gee, we are so doomed. Thank you Kelly and Alex for trying to save the earth!!!!❤
I think they just don't understand the cost of things yet as most will be living of their parents and possibly have bought to much stuff while away from 'home' that they can't travel back with it all for example the cleaning stuff and pillows most will have back home X
I feel that you could use antiseptic wipes after climbing into the dumpsters. Especially after you've put the mask on your face! Protect your skin.
For most of them driving or taking a train, plane or bus home. The cost of boxing and shipping these items home would be very expensive. They need to have a weekend where the kids can bring out things to give away to the public. Like a free yard sale.
Again I think we need to realize that a lot of these kids that are leaving the dorm have no way to get this stuff home because they fly home and they don't travel by car. You need to realize they may not have a choice😊
@@candilumpkin1196 you are so right about that, you probably noticed the size of that cardboard box they moved a couple of times, well, my ex sent a leather sculpture of a mother and child that we had bought in Santa Barbara 30 years ago to my son in Washington,
(Pardon the run on sentence, please) when my son was packing up stuff to move back to Texas he asked if I wanted it, I said ok if you have room for it. Well, he shipped it to me via UPS, the sculpture itself may have weighed a pound, but the size of the box was very large, about the size of that large one in the dumpster. It cost $82.00 to ship it. 82. I couldn’t be angry at my son, as much of the packing, cleaning, donating was left up to him and he wasn’t feeling up to par. Turns out that he has leukemia…that’s why he was feeling unwell. Just recently I gave that sculpture to a neighbor that thought it was beautiful. I think that Kelley and Alex do a superb
job of saving stuff from the landfill and making a little money on the side. Also, it’s not just college aged kids that waste things, most adults do too to varying degrees….I’m guilty as heck about starting science projects in my vegetable bin.
Isn't it so fun and unbelievable to dive at the college, we live a few blocks from a big college here in Iowa , we don't have a vehicle so we walk down and haul back everything, we end up with so much crap that this year I put a limit on what we can bring home, my favorite is the rugs and containersand course the bedding. But it's funny to watch that you guys find almost exactly everything we do. We have alot of nieces and nephews that always are needing stuff so it leaves as soon as it's cleaned.
It's amazing to see the careless waste .I'm glad you donate some of the stuff you get, to people who need it. I agree with you 💯 that collages should have donate bins along with the regular trash bins.
I got tired and sleepy. Just watching you guys. That's a major workout. Lots of great stuff. I love that rug that he just threw into the garage. The black and white one super cool. Take a nappy nap. 🙂
Alex is really getting into dumpster diving. He has come a long ways since he first started with you. U guys are amazing saving what you can.
You should have your garage sale in the fall right before the kids move back into the dorms!😄
I love this! Have a one stop spot for your brooms, caddies, everything!
Lol
Yeah, a "Come buy your stuff back" sale! 😂😂😂
Or local kids going to college!
👍
The closet things that hang over the door make great planters go herbs or strawberries. So even the dirty ones are great to take.
You guys made my day already 😍❤️ I love seeing your videos
Stuff is not cheap.Yall saved so much reusable stuff.Great finds Thanks for tagging me along.🙂
You guys are awesome! You are keeping so much more out of landfills. keep it up.
It's sad to see how much good stuff ends up in the landfill when it could easily be donated. I'm glad to see you guys rescuing some of it.
Inspired by your videos, I called Northwestern University's Campus Security and asked them about diving. They too said it was okay as long as we don't leave a mess But that if they see us diving and there IS a mess around the dumpster, even though we didn't do it, they would still kick us out. That's because there's no way of telling whether the mess was there before we got there or not. Well, not unless they go back to the office and check the closed circuit TV tapes anyway, but they wouldn't have time for that and it's not their primary responsibility. I think maybe I'll bring a shovel and a push broom with us when we go and we'll clean up the area around the dumpster before we dive. Nothwestern University is full of some very rich kids and I'm pretty sure those dives are going to be VERY interesting. Thanks for the inspiration! PEACE
At the second dumpster you left as feeling awkward, there was some really nice clean bedding (including a duvet) and bagged up cushions.
You have your videos to prove you are not the ones making the mess, and you actually clean up other peoples messes! God bless you guys!! Love your videos!!
My mom is from Odessa and she has always said, there's nothing like a West Texas sunset!
That's very true. They are beautiful sunsets in West Texas.
@@sandiekaye5241 your name is Sandie Kaye!?! My mom is Sandra Kay!!! How weird! Lol.....
Awesome rescue from the dumpsters
Love the regular uploads so fun!
It's always good to talk to the people around you and let them know that you're not there to trash up the place. Happy diving love your videos
It's a shame people are throwing things all over the ground. Nice stuff in the dumpsters!
It's a throw away society. I'm glad these two rescue some really nice things.
Makes me I’ll what is thrown away, could have loved that one time in my life, thanks for what you both do ❤️❤️👍
You guys are going to have an awesome sale! Great job guys!
I am so happy to see you both get terrific items. So cool to reuse. And repurpose keep on diving. Pa
Those feather wall decor pieces were actually cute and would have sold at a yard sale for sure
Of course
I love dumpster’s because there all different colors 😁❤️
This gal is so kind friendly down to earth pure and thoughtful, you'd be forgiven for thinking she's Australian lol, she's SUPER CUTE 💜😇
You guys are great! I would love to go dumpster diving with you guys! You guys are a blast! I wish I lived close to a university! There is so much great stuff! Love your videos, I look for them every day! Take care you guys!
That orange Keriug is so cool. I never seen it that color someone will love that for apt. That teady bear reminds me of like the Soap flowers you can for when you take a bath.
We love you guys, watching you diving from n.carolina .
There are so many people that need clothing, electronics, kitchen items, linens and canned foods. Dumpster diving is practical for society.
And to have two angels making it happen is just having icing on the cake, right?
The bear you found today with the roses on it cost a lot of money. They usually sell it online doing Christmas and Valentine's Day. I enjoy you and your husband so much on UA-cam.
Collage move-out, who would’ve known! Wow! Thanks for sharing your experiences and tips and tricks to finding good stuff.
Absolutely Awesome! Thank You For Dragggggggginnnnng Us Along on Your Daily Travels! Stay Cool & Stay Safe!!
I wonder if those foam toppers and sheets could be donated to a homeless shelter or group that provides them to the homeless?
Alex an Kelly happy diving hope you both find lots of items from going to the landfill an you can rehome all the items you all find,good luck guys.
I know you have probably have done this those foam mattress could have been donated to the shelter for the fur babies
Thrift stores should have donation days to collect usable items and then before school begins in the fall and set up a resale place.
That was so cool again! You guys are the best❣️🙏🏻🥰
Such a good busy time for you!👍
Keep up the important work you are doing saving items from the landfill.
All that bedding would be great to sell at a yard sale. The blankets can go in a big trash bag and use the vacuum cleaner to suck out the air and put a rubber band on it and store it till winter. You can make a bunch of money off blankets at a yard sale! I know I did!
wow so much was saved can’t wait for your yard sale good job 👏
Yay top 245 comments. Love this channel. Best to you and your family.
I would be in HEAVEN if I had your storage containers
I’m pooped just watching!!! Pat your kitty and get some rest!! I’m thrilled that you do so much to save the goodies that students don’t want to move home!! Hugs!😊
Kelly and Alex you are an amazing team and did I say how funny you both are.
Lol Alex cracks me up he’s such a trooper I love that you dive together!
Those huge dumpsters are the best you can find a truckload in one stop almost.
The little red flower bear is made out of polystyrene and the flowers are hot glue gun on , my daughter makes and sells them here in England 🏴
I would always take the rugs... if you can power wash them on your driveway, they sell great on market place
I would of wanted those little feather flower things. And for the pink chair that is a great find. I would have grabbed it, some people dont use the arm things. So cute
Hope you got the mini fridge at 7:18, they are always good for dirty $100 bill, more for ones with separate freezer compartment.
Woah boy! Alex, I have always noticed that you have a way with words in your quips with Kelly, but I didn’t know the extent of it! I just watched your poem channel and oh MY! Alex, you have something to say and you should be saying it! (Although I will say that your long hair added to the image…)
Oh dhuo.. just checked out your blog channel. Ok, maybe you are saying it…!!! I need to get out more! But Alex, you are a natural writer.
You should invest in a portable generator to have with you when you DD. You can test the electronic things you find to see if they work or not. That way you don’t have to take anything home that doesn’t work. Something like the Jackery.
I would have wanted the feather wall decor lol
That "weird pillow" (the plain blue one) was a hospital pillow 😂😂 I've been a nurse for 14 years so I've seen a lot of them.
I love how the epicenter of dumpster diving is here In denton!!!
Those fluffy wall hangings were the koolest thing u found there. U need a better eye for what sells. Anything unique like that sells. Even if u put it on ur curb it would be taken immediately. Unique finds sell faster then typical items.
You guys are AMAZING! I can not wait to watch the yard sale wish I didn't live sp far I would be right there the day of !! Happy Memorial Day be safe & have fun 💖💖
Another load saved No Landfill today! Fantastic work! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️💜
Awesome haul yall!!🤗 Thanks for letting me tag along!! I hope you have a great memorial Day!! Moving on!!♥️🛻♥️
You always find some great stuff keeping it all from the landfill. The video I would love to see is the bath if you showing all of your tattoos n explaining why you got them 😊
You guys are awesome
Love those pillows ❤
You guys are awesome! No need to go to the gym--you get a full body workout just doing what you do! 😁
The Laundry Pods containers can be used as used medical needles containers, once full of needles you duck tape the lid to the container and write on it DO NOT RECYCLE then throw it away
Dont do that.its dangerous. Dispose of them safely in a medical disposal container
@Brid Feeney I was told as long as the plastic container is heavier material its okay to do so. Some of us on fixed incomes can't afford those sharps containers, and insurance won't always pay.
Take the rugs for yard sale!!!
Thanks for rescuing so much stuff. You guys are awesome. We need more people like the two of you. You brighten my day.❤❤
This is fun to watch i saw those 71/2 sneakers and said darn wish i was their
Dumpster smells so good 😊
Do your neighbors ever have an issue with all that stuff piled outside? Mine would report me in a minute.
I was wondering if you happened to have someone coming up and helping themselves when you were away or at night while you 2 were sleeping.
@@karenlaplante2565
I don’t think I can watch these videos anymore. I’m so sad at how young people are so flippant about the environment. The wage is just depressing and disgusting. They have the nerve to blame older generations and this is how they’re behaving.
I know it's hard to see all the stuff they throw away but you need to understand a lot of them fly home and don't have transportation to be able to haul a lot of this stuff home that's why it gets thrown out at least we have people like this that rescue it. That doesn't mean that our younger generation has issues by any means this is just a small majority of kids this doesn't reflect on all of our younger generation. And this coupled it's saving all of the stuff from the landfill is also part of the younger generation and look at the good job they're doing😊
@@SandraRamirez-og7gf They can donate! No need to throw out.
It saddens me to see all this thrown away as well! Think about all the newbie’s coming in who could use this stuff. If these kids had to pay for any of this they’d think twice about tossing it like that! Surely with all the brains on campus someone could come up with a better plan for making use of this stuff! It’s simply a no brainer, this is just sinful,whether they fly home or drive home, figure it out! Remember your children will have to grow up in the world you’re creating… 🤔
Great job guys.
wow! your garage is big, but it is fullpacked by merch.looking forward to your garage sale.
You can use those desk to eat from. Or if one of you get sick you can use one by your bed side.
I love the College move out picks because you find so many items in almost new condition. I do want to caution you since you now have Bones, he will enjoy chewing on even the fake Christmas Tree, ribbons, etc. And it's not so much about the mess he might leave as it is about what he might swallow. They can get those small tree needles stuck in their mouth and throat. I've had cats all my life except for a German Shepherd for a few years when I was a kid. My current fur Baby is 13 and I've had to take her to the vet twice now to get "eye teeth" pulled. Five hundred dollars later, let's just say, I don't leave out toys with edges anymore for her to chew on. I hope you don't have any issues with Bones, medical or otherwise. Cats are a lot of fun but if he misbehaves you can say a strong NO to him with lots of cuddles afterward and they learn what their boundaries are pretty quick. I hope you enjoy being a fur parent to this type of fur child as much or more than other ones you've had and shared with your fans.
I’m about to move into my first place and I would loveeeeeee to just look through everything 😩
Noooooo those feather things was awesome !!!!!
Pretty sure they was from Hobby Lobby
Thank you share your video ❤ and we love your video ❤ and Save stuff from Landfill. Have a great week ahead. We can't wait huge Review. ❤
Awesome hauls, Kelly and Alex.
Great job! 🤗 so thankful for your hard work. 👏🏻 Cheering you'll along from afar. 🥳 Love you guys, Have a fun and safe holiday weekend. 🙏🏻 prayer huuuugs. ❣️
Don’t you ever worry about bed bug
I have been out for a day or two, did I miss something? We don't take puppy food. It did not look open.
It was open
wow what fun and good work, imagine all of that rotting away in some land fill. I went to our local dump and the pile was so high If I had climbed to the top I couold have touched the ceilings. the machines were pushing 20 foot piles of everything into a hole int he back and trucks were backed up under it and lined up 5 deep waiting. I took three rugs that were piled ont op, if they see you they freak out but I dumped my stuff and when I turned around I tossed in a rug or two. my friend uses them to stay warm in her cabin where she lived. she can't afford to heat the whole place so which ever room is unheated is like walking through a freezer. so we layered the rugs and she kept warmer all winter. winters are cold u int he foot hills of the mountains. she lives by a river so it is extra cold. winds whipping off of the river. but beautiful so beautiful.
I was sad you missed the toaster 4 slice the Stanley 40 oz. cup and the mini fridge all in the same dumpster.
The rose 🌹 bear we have in the UK I thick it just polystyrene.
I have a few of that feather cape along with lace face mask and wrist feather cuffs. I got several in an Amazon mystery box. They sell for over $30!!! I've sold several and gave some away.
I am so jealous of the college move out dumpsters. We don't have this happen, well not the throw out waste in Australia.
Alot of those rugs are nice, I would keep some for the house. Bones would love a good roll on them. Nice haul today.
What a treasure hunt
