This is so frustrating. If the charity shops priced their items cheaper they would sell more and have less to throw out. Most of these dumped items would sell quickly if priced right. The trouble with charity shops nowadays is they're getting greedy, wanting high prices for FREE items. My local charity shops are too expensive, even if you are buying for yourself.
Thanks a lot for watching! Couldn't agree with you more! Theae chain charity shops have become commercialised, gone are the days of a good bargain! Unless very lucky. They even have pricing sheets for different brands etc 😲 I use what I can, sell on some bits then re donate to smaller independent charities 🙂
Not only the prices, what frustrates me even more, there are so many other charities that would accept alot of the kids toys for families in need and they just think, we can't sell it so we will chuck it, shouldn't they help each other out
@Jimbo_resells Yeah couldn't agree more, they could all club together and help others out and connect with families in need. But no, they're all commercialised and have CEO's to pay etc. Thanks a lot for watching 🙂
@elainewallace3381 Thanks Elaine! I try to take the decent bags I see as can re use these or pass them onto other charities. Appreciate your support 🙂 New videos every Sunday (and sometimes Wednesday)
Also all the plastic bags! Before the charge for bags came in, charity shops would keep all the plastic bags that donations came in behind the till to reuse when people bought things. Now these are getting thrown away which defeats the object of the reason the charge was brought in!
I'm always amazed when people throw out bags that can be reused. I like to grab these because they come in handy for organising dumpster diving finds in my car. Great vid mate!
Hey thanks for watching I appreciate it! They chuck away loads of strong reusable bags and also handy plastic tubs which I like to use in my car. They could offer these for free at the front of the shop and they'd go 🤷♂️
Wooden toys or educational ones can be worth money. Dolls like American Girl and the clothes , accessories can bring in revenue. Toy glass marbles worth money. Not all but some. The reusable bags are great to have on you. A small magnet and a hand held black light is good to have on you. Children's furniture and some doll clothes and doll house furniture are a easy sell. Brooches are a trend right now. Anything Mid - Century Modern you can make some good money. Don't over look pens . Fountain and rollerball pens can make you bank! Great Video!!!!
In the town where I live, charity shops are so expensive people will get on a bus & travel 10 miles to the next town where they are less expensive. I bought a bag in a charity shop here & then saw the same bag £5 less new!
Hey Sarah thanks for watching I appreciate it, yes seeing more and more of it prices on the up. They see brands and get excited and charge through the roof!
I am continually amazed at what is thrown out. And for just an hour or two looking through, you should make some decent money on some of that. And save on your packaging costs too !
Thanks for watching Jamie! Yes you never know what you'll come across, that's why I enjoy doing it you get a buzz. Also Reusing items and making a bit of money from stuff that would just be sent to the tip 😀 Check out my other videos
Hey thanks for watching, totally correct. Items were donated so no cost so pass the bargains onto the customers and the charity still makes money. I get the shop fees to cover etc but they also all have CEO's on high salaries 😳
I volunteer at a charity shop in leicestershire, we chuck out anything really battered and try and find another charity shop that sells stuff we don't, we have rats in our dumpster which isn't great when you tip stuff it stinks lol
Hey thanks for watching that's a great idea, other charity shops should do this! I totally understand broken, unusable or unsafe items being thrown away. We can't help this. But there are perfectly good items, everything I clean up, test and ensure it isn't damaged and unsafe. I've not come across any rats yet! Think they'll hang out where there's food so I'm safe with these bins..for now 😉
@@georgestreasureshed haha i work at an animal charity dogs are on site in a rural area so i bet its that, no food. You would think the dogs would scare them but no, i think other charitys bin as they dont have time to sort through it, its difficult we reduce prices on items not selling but them in a rummage end if month 5 items for 1.00 but we still get waste, a charity baby basics we give to them, and mind but mind warehouse are superful, some charitys get arsey about their bins saying they are donations not sorted yet, im a reseller myself well ish, sometimes i think they should have notice saying resellers ask for items we dont sell and you can have it, but they wont
I'm going to have to make dumster diving videos,show you all how to go through it with skills, been doing for 2 years everyday just with a grannies shopping basket on wheels and an ikea bag and some straps
Great content. I wish I could do some dumpster diving. Unfortunately, most of the areas where I live have security or locked yards. I go to 1 area for cardboard, but I asked for permission.
Thanks for watching, a lot of places are locked up unfortunately, there's so many more places I could go but am limited. That's good that you are recycling cardboard, I save boxes etc too to re use for posting 🙂
@@georgestreasureshed I also get boxes from neighbours and friends, I also purchase it to its so expensive, buyers don't realise how much it cost to send a parcel its just not the price of a stamp.
@karenshields2086 very true on my ebay store I charge exactly what it costs me to post. Not including..packaging or fuel to the drop shop. And they claim its still too expensive! People expect everything free postage and delivered next day 🙄
To think people donated good, quality items for the charity shops just to throw away is such a shame. Facebook has 'for free' groups and I donate / pick up many items here. Charity shops in Keswick, Cumbria are shockingly expensive especially Oxfam. Travel to a town out of the national park... reasonable prices. I'd rather donate to a good cause but seeing things like this puts me off. Thanks for sharing
Thanks a lot for watching and showing your support I appreciate it 🙂 Definitely agree, I save what I can (limited on space otherwise could take more) and find new homes for it whether its re donating at worthy charities or selling it on (contributes to my fuel etc) I enjoy doing it and knowing I'm making a little bit of difference 🙂
I collect the DVDs & cd's that come with the newspapers if you find any wd love to buy them from you the charity shops cant be assed I worked for one that's got red banners the stuff they used to throw away was a nightmare every £ for the charity they are like multi-million-pound businesses these days good finds well done
Hey thanks for watching, that's great if you're on Instagram give me a follow and message on there. I usually save them up and then go to car boot or re donated to a local charity shop. 🙂
Hey Nic thanks for watching, yeah it was worth grabbing think I got £12 for it on ebay, was hardly used 🙂 Looking out for board games more now running upto Xmas
Hey thanks for watching, they could all help each other out, reduce prices, offer freebies etc at the end of the day it was all donated to try and help other families out. They're getting too commercialised nowadays 😔
Thanks for sharing, liked the video but disappointed at some of the things that are being thrown out 😢. Do you need permission to dumpster dive? May have to try it.
Thanks David, these gloves are pretty good and thick, probably hard to see on camera. I'm very careful going through stuff but like you say sometimes sharps can catch you out!
There not charity shops wen I needed some socks due to no money asked at sue rider if they had an old pair they said no went round the back at night and a container unlocked was full of really nice stuff clothing bedd ect ing all ready to go to the Man in van who collects to go abroad and right there was a whole bin bag full of socks still got some left
Hey thanks for watching, ah that's a shame they didn't help you out. They aren't what they used to be like you said. Even worse the items you were in need of were thrown out the back 😲
Good on you mate need more people like this! I save what I can in everyday live too like cardboard boxes to re use. If I can save a few car loads here and there from landfill then I'll take that as a little win 🙂
good job you dont see what i put in my bin at home then,food a day past its best before for example,or if having a tidy out ,perfectly good dvd,s and cd,s, i recently chucked away my collection of advertising signs i had up on my kitchen walls i had collected for over 10 years,decided i no longer wanted them up,chucked the lot in the gerneral waste bin.
@andrewthomas2406 Fair enough, those kind of items will be welcomed by most charity shops and even if they end up in their bin then the items have had a chance. Also loads of free groups on Facebook or I also leave items outside my house. Anything is better than straight in the bin 🙂
How long have you been dumpster diving, i''ve been a few times, i found a load of vintage wooden cotton reels i sold them in bundles of 25, total profit £70,
Hey Julie nice one I've been going for a few years now and had some great finds. Obviously it can be hit and miss some weeks find nothing 😀 Thanks a lot for watching
@juliemotey2052 Go for it! I currently just use my phone on a chest mount. I've thought about a go pro for car boots and Dumpster Diving but for now my phone does everything I need 😀

employing the wrong people is just terrible for business. There is price to pay for running a shop with volunteers. They need people in there to recognise what has valye and keep them. At the same time donators need to get a relatty check, that addias bag should have gone in their own refuse bin, not the chasrity shops biffa which costs a lot. Nobody is going to pay a penny for this bag thats trashed.
You know it makes me laugh looking at the comments on here ,none of you have any idea how the charity shops work , some of you should try and volunteer in some of them for a while to see how they work and what they have to put up with. I worked as a volunteer for about ten years and some of the stuff that gets donated would make you shiver , more often than not about 50% of donations are not saleable and some are health risks. The idea of a charity is to make as much money for there charity ,they are not there to supply resellers with cheap goods.
Hey thanks for watching, totally understand that charities will get loads of bits donated that they simply cannot sell. They might be damaged, unsafe etc and this cannot be helped. Its just the amount of unsorted bags where I have found some very valuable items that would bring in good money for them rhatvare dumped in there. I understand they want to get as much as possible for the charity but this doesn't always mean a high price tag. Lower prices=more sold resulting in a bigger turnover rather than high prices and less items sold. Some are better than others 🤷♂️
So infuriating that charity shops are doing this with peoples donations that are given in good faith 😠 at least some of it is going to be re used and appreciated 🙂 "Just a shark eating a foot in a box " your normal everyday item found in a bin 😂😂
I know Julie, exactly why on a regular basis I will do the rounds and check all their bins. If I saving some items here and there then it's making some kind of impact. I know right 😅 Never know what you'll come across! The weird and the ugly 😉
of course they throw stuff away if they get too much stuff donated and it doesnt sell or they have no storage,theses nothing wrong with them doing that,most of the stuff is tat anyway
If items are broken and not suitable for sale then that's fair enough. On the other hand I go through bags of good quality stock that then could sell and decide not too. These bags have been donated and dumped straight into the bins unsorted. If they are limited on storage they can get the stock delivered to other stores as most of them are a chain run charity. Also if they find the items aren't selling and they're running out of space their prices must be too high. Have some FREE sections in containers by the door etc. There's lots of people doing the same as me saving decent items from landfill to either re use or sell 🙂
@georgestreasureshed exactly, charity shops are very greedy these days, I know someone who used to work for a charity shop and they told me someone donated some very nice expensive cameras and the manager put them straight in the bin
@leepearce3148 Definitely and wow that's criminal! A lot of them I know don't like dealing with electrical so throw it all away. I've had electric guitars, cameras, phones, speakers etc. But even then they're breaking the law by disposing of all this waste incorrectly too! Thanks for watching 🙂
I work in a charity shop, we get dirty clothes, underpants that people have worn & havn,t washed before donating, trousers with mud on, tops with sick on them, clothes with all the bodily fluids you can think of & we,re expected to sort through them. Sheets & pillowcases that have been on a bed for weeks, just dcrewed up & put in a bag again with bodily fluids on them. The shop I work in is not expensive £2-50 for a pair of trousers, £4 for lovely dresses, £ 4 for a coat. If people would wash their clothes before donating we wouldn,t have to throw so much away.
There is some much more I thought you might have taken to sell.what a disgrace,some many people without anything.and you are looking at a bin load of stuff,shame on the charity shop 😠.
Unfortunately I cannot take everything as would need a warehouse to store it with the amount of Dumpster Diving I do. I have to be picky and you're right there is definitely more than can be saved. Some items you saw though maybe broken and unusable. Would be better to prevent this waste first and the charities set lower prices or also have FREE sections to help people in need also, thanks for watching 😀
