I know a couple people like this. Even with me offering to take the stuff for them to donate. For some reason they want to throw usable stuff away. I think a large part of it is that they didn't earn the money, and buy the stuff.
I live in a huge college town. Between student move out and back in the streets are lined with furniture, lots of it looks brand new. You would be shocked.
My apartment building is the same way! People throw away things that are in mint condition or at most can be fixed up for a few bucks. I’m like, okay, you don’t wanna go through the work of selling it, at least fkn donate it! There are companies that will come pick it up for free and use the money they make for medical research. There’s literally no excuse except total laziness and lack of self awareness. I don’t buy anything new anymore, and won’t again. Knowing how much perfectly good used stuff people throw away, makes no sense to support companies that would rather slash a T-shirt than donate it to a homeless shelter.
Who raised these people? Even if you're rich, you should still donate instead of dumping. Probably the same people who get mad at you for drinking with straws too. "save the turtles"
My father is a construction worker. One time, many years ago, he was called in to do some minor renovations on a rental unit after some college kids moved out. He and my mother (who was helping him when she was unemployed for a period of time) found a lot of great things in the dumpster! It was insane. They found a defective iPod (remember when iPods were a thing and they were expensive?) Turns out it was a manufacturer defect so I called in to Apple Care and they sent me a brand new replacement. A designer watch (nothing too fancy but at the time I could've sold it for $80 used). A fancy scientific calculator (those things are not cheap and this one was advanced). I don't remember the other things my parents brought back home. I wish they could've brought more stuff home but they only brought back what they thought might be worthwhile. Just blows my mind how wasteful some people are.
Years ago my city realized that when the students left at the end of the college year, TONS! of stuff was going to the landfill. A non profit was started and collection bins were place around campuses to collect unwanted items. Volunteers also hit the curbs to look for items in the trash that could be recovered. The items are organized and cleaned and prepared for a giant yard sale that is held when the students return for the next school year. A different local charity is the target of the monies raised annually. Thousands of dollars every year is raised on the resale of the items that use to go to the landfill....dollars that go back into the community. We also have reuse stores where students can donate unwanted items before they leave the city.
My college has that. When we move out, they have designated areas to drop off any unwanted clothing, electronics etc and they go to this place on campus called Warrior wardrobe where students in need can go and get what they want/need.

First of all, any viewers with young children watching this, teach your children NOW to reduce, reuse and recycle! Make it a family project to donate used items - don't just throw everything away! Your children will follow your example and when they grow up into college students, they won't be as wasteful as these young people in this video obviously are... but for now, possibly church groups in the area of a college or university - set up a drive in local apartment communities and donate gently used items to local women's shelter or thrift shops.
This is by the University of North Texas. I attend this university currently and this video really hurts my heart because our entire motto is “Mean Green”. We care so much about our environment as a university and to see that that isn’t resonating with other students as much as it does with me really hurts. If you need any help doing this next move out season please message me and let me know. I would be more than happy to help with sorting out donations.
Since ur at ur Uni. Why don't u start a Free Shop. Like a space to collect all donated things, put them all in a room with shelves like open pantry also for food.
Suggestion: Sometimes instead of bleach you should try Ivory bar soap for stains and peroxide, Dawn dish soap, and baking soda instead for their whitening properties. Can use all at once or whatever combination is your choice. Baking soda actually boosts soap and cleaning power. Sometimes bleach is not the first thing you want to try.
I like the donation bin idea. When I went to college back in the frigid northlands I recall that the end of the school year was really stressful because you were basically spending all you're time simultaneously moving on a really tight timeframe as well as studying for finals or wrapping up final projects. It would have been awesome to have donation bins them, but also to have more time, guidance on moving, and help on mentally healthy ways to discover oneself without necessarily doing so by shopping. A lot of folks at my college had that problem and came from wealthy homes so there was little regard for wastefulness or what really is important in life.
Do not bleach that white hat!!! Instead soak in a strong mixture of Oxyclean in a bucket for 2-3 days if necessary! This will not weaken the material like bleach will. Good luck!! Donation bins beside dumpster might help! However you may not be able to find anyone that will do temporary bins.
We are the most wasteful society. This a third world family’s entire lifetime and living. The majority of these items could be collected and offered up for free in a depressed area of your community.
Ricky Donald: yes I told her to watch at UT Austin how the kids recycle everything they don't want or need. They take it to the parking lot of LBJ Library and no one has to pay for whatever they take. It's free. I thought all the universities already did this but I guess not from this video. 😢
laurynlovesyou5 I agree. Props to her she don’t even give a crap like who sees her it seems haha. Funny. I’d be sitting thete all embaressed trhing not to let anyone see me I’d be so embarrassed lmao. but I’m be scared to take crap home from dumpsters like clothing. U never know if someone had bugs , bed bugs roaches etc I wouldn’t want to bring that into my home with my children oh man lol. I took something from someone else once I bought some stuff online plenty of tine used stuff though and I did take a few things from a garbage once tbat was like hanging out I could see already lol and I think the bag of clothes had something in it after that I had a moths problem in my house forever and couldn’t get rid of them it was pretty gross taught me a lesson cause you can’t get rid of those moths it’s hard never mind roaches or bugs like that. I don’t know how you go about that kind of thing begire you bring the items into your home. I am sure u wash the stuff first but even when it’s just sitting in your home waiting to be washed The bag coukd have roaches in it that might escape. U just dint know
@@creationsbycrys I think even the hardiest bugs can't survive freezing, so if I really wanted an item of clothing, I'd stick it in an airtight zipper bag and throw it in the freezer for 24 hours. But as it is, I only take freebies and yard sale items that can be sanitized.
@@creationsbycrys why? people are all about recycling nowadays.huge youtubers do it. if you look ratty and dirty and cracked out. then they think you a bum. but if your clean and have gloves and stuff then they dont even pay attention to you. if you did see anyone, just say your grabbing it to donate to the homeless. who is going to diss you for helping charity.
Glad u shared. Knew something was wrong somewhere. My friend u r special. Too many times we don't see what others do. Thank you for all you do. Truly are special. Thank you so much.
Ripping all the bags like that will become an issue. Possibly banning diving diving in the complex. Bring scissors, cut the top so you can retie the bag.
@@nancie7487 No it´s not illegal where she lives : ) It´s ok in some states and not in others. She has said many times that it is legal where she lives/dives.
@@wonderingsanna sorry first time watching this channel . It's illegal where I live. It's even illegal to feed the homeless unless your an licensed food bank or soup kitchen. My friend just got in trouble for that. And he even had to pay a fine. He now takes pictures and the homeless people's names and their now his friends. It's not against the law to feed your friends no matter where they are! Have A Nice Day!
Actually that’s false. She’s going through trash in Denton, Texas. And she can very much so get in trouble. I used to know a lady who lives in Denton and did this shit and had gotten a couple of trespassing tickets and even landed herself in jail one of the times cause of the way she handled the situation.. you can get in trouble... When I first saw this girl (RUclipsr)I noticed she was here in Texas but didn’t even think she was in the Dallas metroplex.i thought maybe San Antonio or Austin perhaps but after watching this video the dumpsters clearly say Denton all over them and one of the first bags she grabbed said “UTD” with black and green and that’s the college she’s dumpster diving or at least college town. She can definitely get in trouble doing this here..
Yes, there should be a nearby church parking lot with different bins for unopened food, clothes, school supplies, cleaning products, etc; that the students could drop them at.
Tess Molloy I agree but a lot of times students don’t have a way to leave campus to donate their clothes. Some campuses don’t allow you to have cars certain years and others don’t allow it at all. The college should be providing donation bins
At the university I work at in Georgia, they do a "donate it, don't dump it" campaign starting in April of every year. Yes, they place sorting bins out everywhere next to dumpsters and the university gathers it all up, organizes it and donates to charity. UNT might also do this. Sorry if someone already noted this. I am not reading all of the comments! Enjoyed the episode!
Hi Breakfast. Love your vids. My DD bag contains: rubberized gardening gloves, hand sanitizer, paper towels, baby wipes, small empty plastic bins with lids, zip lock baggies for smalls, fabric shopping bags for clothing, sunglasses, hat, a collapsible step, a sm pole with rubberized ends to hold up the dumpster lid and my grabber. I keep large empty plastic bins in my trunk. I found a new, shower curtain and opened it to protect my back seat. So far these supplies have worked for me. I found a small ice chest in a CVS dumpster with reusable ice packs. I take them with me for dives at ALDI's. Thanks, Char in PA
Haha! You do exactly what I do- but I'm in VA. And there, it happens in May/June. Between the unopened food, toiletries, clothing, textbooks, tech stuff, school supplies, I supplied myself, made stacks, and donated to school teachers. Plus gas $++ from scrap metal and pawning.
When I lived in New Haven CT, Yale would provide a ton of bins marked “Take it or Leave it” for students to leave/take useable goods during move out week. Then a charity group would empty the bins every day.
is anyone going to talk about the scary fact that that bag was in perfect condition and still had everything inside including an ID.... kinda sketchy idkkk😂
I wonder if the college goes through and just throw away everything left behind in the rooms. That bag looks like some kid was like... F it I graduated! And just left the bag behind
Yes. The apparel and accessories could at least be taken to a place like Platos Closet. We have 4 places here that pays cash on the spot. What I can't sell, I donate to our community support place.
I wanted to get rid of my bike after college so I put it on the side of the road with a sign that said "free" and it was gone within ten minutes. That's the least you could do for something like a bike.
Wow i find this very overwhelming. I would feel depressed trying to look through all that. Well done to you young lady. What a wasteful society we live in. Dumping instead of donating. These people must already have too much materially to do this. Boy this really saddens me. Your a very hard working young women. Thankyou for your caring and strong work ethic. Can't say that about those that dumped all this.
Nice haul! I hope you snagged those work shirts with the tags on them. There’s actually a style that people will wear work shirts, especially if they have patches or names on them.
This really upsets me. I wonder how much schlorship money was used to buy these things that were so easily dumped. I guess attending college hasn't taught these students anything!
It’s the disposable society we live in. If something isn’t perfect they throw it away and buy a new one. My sister lived near a university and she used to “trash shop” get barely used furniture and hints that they can’t move home so they discard. Now I have the perfect dumpster diving vehicle- a pickup, so I want to get onto it.
I SO like her 2023 style of doing over what she did back at this time 3 years prior...more about saving from the landfill then cherry picking for resale. Both worthy causes but saving it all is kinda fun. Channel has come a long way. Especially fun now that Alex has joined the fun on a daily basis.
Penn State Main does Trash to Treasure Sale every May. But it ONLY accounts for the dorm rooms... it does not include off campus housing. They hold the sale underneath Beaver Stadium. $5 early bird entrance fee. Shop til you drop!
Gail, that's a great idea. The stuff college student throw out is perfectly fine. Needs to be salvaged and who better to do this than the Salvation Army.
I can’t believe the waste of these college students! I remember when I was moving from college, I had extra things that wouldn’t be able to fit in my parent’s house (couch, one of those fabric closets, a microwave). My Dad and I put them outside of the front door. Before he could even write out a ‘Free’ sign, someone came up and asked if we were giving it away. The place I was living in was a complex of townhouses. It was mostly families living there. Within minutes, people surrounded the front of the townhouse waiting to see if we would be giving away other items. I ended up giving more than I intended to but everyone was so grateful and happy. It worked out well. If they had not come by, I would have just taken them home and either donated or sold the items. I think the donation box outside of the college for move-out day would be a good idea. I used to work at a hotel that most of the employees were either from out of province or another country. We had employee housing. When people would leave the job (a lot of them were seasonal), there was a room in a staff common area that you could leave the items that were too much to pack and bring on a plane. People left luggage, bedding, dishes, clothing, etc. We could go into this room and take whatever we wanted or needed. It was good for those who had just moved in and forgot to bring certain items. I’m happy to see that thanks to you, a lot of these items will be reused and saved from landfills :)
You are so ahead of other young people with your views and awareness. Most people at your age have no idea what is wasted and therefore have no concept of thrift/reality. You have a real headstart on life. Good luck, liked and subscribed! P.S. Thank you for donating stuff as you did w the bread in the other video.
I grew up in a college town and it has always been like this after student move out day. And there are TONS of dumpster divers who go through it all. I think donation bins would be great. Maybe that’s something that could be coordinated with the local thrift stores and donation centers? Of course they would have to be very very conveniently located. The biggest problem is college aged students -collectively speaking- tend to procrastinate, and are doing all of this at the very last minute. They realize they don’t have room to bring everything home so they chuck it quickly and gtfo lol! But I think all the townie dumpster divers benefit greatly from it and I think it all comes out in the wash lol!
Honestly I'm 100% for curbside finds. I currently live in one of these college community rentals, and lots of people leave things on the side of the dumpster, in hopes of someone else benefitting from it. That being said though, lots of people dump straight up TONS of actual garbage in this same area and so some good things that could be used end up all mixed in. I wish there was a more centralized way of giving these things directly to people, or in a location where it would directly benefit others. Like I've seen lots of communities do community pantry's like they would community library at the side of ones house or in a commonly used field.
I'll tell you something, I have watched a few different youtube channels that dive but you are my favorite so far. You seem to be the realest. I really like that you're donating so much too.
I have just binge watched you. What do I think? ❤️YOU ARE FAB❤️. I watched one vlog then another until my eyes were sore. I’m from Northern Ireland and it’s illegal to Dumpster Dive here, I wish we could. There is no doubt we live in a disposable world, Love, love, love your vlogs keep them coming. God Bless xxxxx❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️xxxxx
Where I live, the Salvation Army helps with dorm clear outs. My husband and I are full-time resellers and are thinking of offering a closet clearout service this year. That way we get inventory cheap and we can make some profit while helping avoid waste like this :)
These students aren’t there long enough to be that gross lol...and they probably just throw out their dirty clothes instead of washing them after one wearing so really...that’s probably the best place to find clothing at the end of semesters...nothing is really used...I wish I had the amount of money spent on just one of those dumpsters items...it’s probably in the six digit range..
@@retroredux1 Oh shut up. No one is getting bullied, I was making a joke. Plus just because I don't agree with everything a person does doesn't mean I don't want to watch their videos.
If you think that's crazy, you should check out a ski resort on the first day of off season. There's skis, snowboards and all the equipment in the world. Opposite after summer, bikes, backpacks and tents. I made more money from selling those things than I did during the season in housekeeping or cooking. Seriously, van loads of stuff.
Sarah Willis go to your local college at the end of the year and dumpster dive or even just check the stuff on the curb and you’ll have most of what you need very quickly
My college places give & take boxes throughout the school year & at the end, summer crew goes through the stuff and does a huge donation to good will. Students will also plan a really free market twice a year and many students take a bunch of stuff home
Sounds like a good project for the sororities to get involved. They could collect for the thrift stores, homeless shelters, etc. Publicize a month before school is out. Get the thrifts to get some kind of recepticals on a truck(fraternity involvement) and go to locations in the apartment complexes to collect.
I dumpster dove in Chicago for years. Paying all my household bills every month. My advice? Take everything! If it has any kind of value, beingcleaned is easy. It'll be worth something to someone! Even selling an item for 25cents is 25cents more you didn't have! Get for free!!??? Sell it!!
U can take the good bedding pillows bed rolls aka foam mattress to your local homeless shelter or places that help other people or second hand stores for ur miscellaneous lamps household goods and whatnot they should take all of that
In Italy where I live we have dumpsters for clothes, and household items, these are for Caritas. Once a week a big truck comes and sorts through the items and takes them away. Italy is big on recycling…we have paper, glass and metal, plastic, and dumpsters for organic too. Also at the recycling center they accept all kinds of things, furniture, large items in glass, small and large appliances, printer ink cartridges, old cooking oil, batteries, just to name a few. There is also a recycling store where you just donate unwanted usable things and they in turn sell them for a nominal fee. I hope that your town has established these centers so there will be less items that can be recycled in the landfills. I enjoy watching your videos!
Ppl are sooo wasteful! I'm glad that u take time and go thru and make use of all of this stuff and are able to make money from other ppls stuff they don't want.good job!
You get in trouble with diving at Notre Dame cause it's on there campus i only live like 20 mins away and if the campus police see they tell u to leave
I used to dumpster dive! It is so fun! I do still go where the dumps are here that have a building for ppl to leave stuff that they no longer want. It amazes me at some stuff people throw away!
Every college I've been to looks like this during move out week! I used to dumpster dive to simply take the items to the local thrift store. One college actually had Goodwill bring bins over for the students to fill and then they would pick up the items to sell in the Goodwill store, worked out well for both organizations.
Kitchen Stuff Yes absolutely. My friend and her family dived and always found enough cleaning supplies that they never had to buy it ever. I had a estate sale once and people were asking to buy the trash bags, cleaning stuff etc. even sold the sewing basket with threads etc. (regretted that one later). Anna In Ohio.
I’ve been reading about the terrible weather you have been having in Texas, the loss of electricity and water - I do hope you are coping with all of it and are okay. Hang in there - Janice from Nova Scotia, Canada
I also live in a college town. I wish the county fairgrounds could be used as a swap meet. Charge a small fee to get in, then trade things with others.
Thank you Kel! I ABSOLUTELY adore your videos! I also dumpster dive in my town & although my town is quite small it's appalling what people THROW AWAY! Keep up the struggle ! ITS REAL
I can’t believe the amount of stuff there is in the bins my god the clothes would help the people who haven’t got much well done to you for getting stuff out the dumpster I wish I was there with you I love your channel love Caroline from the uk x
Welcome back! I've OWNED my own CLEANING BUSINESS for 33 yrs every year our College STUDENTS leave I rack up also! I just never called it Dumspter diving lol you should just take the bags with clothes n things n out them in your car n go through them at home I'd take it all You do good go girl 😎
Every college should have a thrift store that everything can be donated and proceeds go back to the college community
Fantastic idea!!
Awesome idea.
U of WI, Green Bay had a little one called Second Gear. I hope 30 years later, it has expanded.
And, business majors could benefit if given a part time, on campus job there.
That's brilliant! Breakfast you need to open this!

@@yvonneost12 you are sooooo right!!!!!

Thousands of dollars every year is raised on the resale of the items that use to go to the landfill....dollars that go back into the community.
We also have reuse stores where students can donate unwanted items before they leave the city.
Colleges ought to have a designated site where students could leave usable items for other students to use.
Some might but some students just probably find it easier to dump than donate.
Some have to purge cause they fly back home.
Some colleges do that and Thrifts come and pick the stuff up, especially if a student attends a church with a Thrift store!
My college has that. When we move out, they have designated areas to drop off any unwanted clothing, electronics etc and they go to this place on campus called Warrior wardrobe where students in need can go and get what they want/need.

....poverty in AMERICA

Yes true maam, here in our country need that many people here are need that things so you can donet it to us here.....
This is by the University of North Texas. I attend this university currently and this video really hurts my heart because our entire motto is “Mean Green”. We care so much about our environment as a university and to see that that isn’t resonating with other students as much as it does with me really hurts. If you need any help doing this next move out season please message me and let me know. I would be more than happy to help with sorting out donations.
Since ur at ur Uni. Why don't u start a Free Shop. Like a space to collect all donated things, put them all in a room with shelves like open pantry also for food.
Suggestion:
Sometimes instead of bleach you should try Ivory bar soap for stains and peroxide, Dawn dish soap, and baking soda instead for their whitening properties. Can use all at once or whatever combination is your choice. Baking soda actually boosts soap and cleaning power. Sometimes bleach is not the first thing you want to try.
I like the donation bin idea. When I went to college back in the frigid northlands I recall that the end of the school year was really stressful because you were basically spending all you're time simultaneously moving on a really tight timeframe as well as studying for finals or wrapping up final projects. It would have been awesome to have donation bins them, but also to have more time, guidance on moving, and help on mentally healthy ways to discover oneself without necessarily doing so by shopping. A lot of folks at my college had that problem and came from wealthy homes so there was little regard for wastefulness or what really is important in life.
Do not bleach that white hat!!! Instead soak in a strong mixture of Oxyclean in a bucket for 2-3 days if necessary! This will not weaken the material like bleach will. Good luck!! Donation bins beside dumpster might help! However you may not be able to find anyone that will do temporary bins.
We are the most wasteful society. This a third world family’s entire lifetime and living. The majority of these items could be collected and offered up for free in a depressed area of your community.
Yes, the US makes up 5% of the world's population but makes 35% of the world's garbage. Quite disgusting
Ricky Donald: yes I told her to watch at UT Austin how the kids recycle everything they don't want or need. They take it to the parking lot of LBJ Library and no one has to pay for whatever they take. It's free. I thought all the universities already did this but I guess not from this video. 😢
When I was in college years ago... people throwing away clothes with tags still on them... I couldn’t believe it. I would always go through it all.
College MoveOut Days are awesome!! I got an end table that was so nice and it had an envelope with $200 inside! 🤗
Nice you finding both of them
🤯🤯🤯🤯🤯🤯🤯‼️😱‼️😱‼️😱‼️ These People‼️ WTF‼️❓❓‼️❓❓‼️❓❓
I got in a construction dumpster once and soon realized I couldn’t get out. Finally stacked up a bunch of stuff and climbed out.
Please wear some thick gloves. One dirty needle stick could be really bad. Glad you found so much!
I was just thinking about the same thing when she reached out into the bag.... You never know what you can find in those bags...
Ummmm....gloves wont stop a needle stick.
Whenever you find textbooks look into selling them to Amazon. On any recent books i have gotten a good return, much more than $20.
There's a few online textbook sellers that buy too
i have way too much social anxiety to dumpster dive so props to you
laurynlovesyou5 I agree. Props to her she don’t even give a crap like who sees her it seems haha. Funny. I’d be sitting thete all embaressed trhing not to let anyone see me I’d be so embarrassed lmao. but I’m be scared to take crap home from dumpsters like clothing. U never know if someone had bugs , bed bugs roaches etc I wouldn’t want to bring that into my home with my children oh man lol. I took something from someone else once I bought some stuff online plenty of tine used stuff though and I did take a few things from a garbage once tbat was like hanging out I could see already lol and I think the bag of clothes had something in it after that I had a moths problem in my house forever and couldn’t get rid of them it was pretty gross taught me a lesson cause you can’t get rid of those moths it’s hard never mind roaches or bugs like that. I don’t know how you go about that kind of thing begire you bring the items into your home. I am sure u wash the stuff first but even when it’s just sitting in your home waiting to be washed The bag coukd have roaches in it that might escape. U just dint know
@@creationsbycrys I think even the hardiest bugs can't survive freezing, so if I really wanted an item of clothing, I'd stick it in an airtight zipper bag and throw it in the freezer for 24 hours. But as it is, I only take freebies and yard sale items that can be sanitized.
I would go to the next closest city if I were to do anything like this
@@creationsbycrys why? people are all about recycling nowadays.huge youtubers do it. if you look ratty and dirty and cracked out. then they think you a bum. but if your clean and have gloves and stuff then they dont even pay attention to you. if you did see anyone, just say your grabbing it to donate to the homeless. who is going to diss you for helping charity.
Ditto. Totally ditto.
Glad u shared. Knew something was wrong somewhere. My friend u r special. Too many times we don't see what others do. Thank you for all you do. Truly are special. Thank you so much.
Ripping all the bags like that will become an issue. Possibly banning diving diving in the complex. Bring scissors, cut the top so you can retie the bag.
JerZgirl you do know what's she's doing is against the law already. Right?
@@nancie7487 No it´s not illegal where she lives : ) It´s ok in some states and not in others. She has said many times that it is legal where she lives/dives.
@@wonderingsanna sorry first time watching this channel . It's illegal where I live. It's even illegal to feed the homeless unless your an licensed food bank or soup kitchen. My friend just got in trouble for that. And he even had to pay a fine. He now takes pictures and the homeless people's names and their now his friends. It's not against the law to feed your friends no matter where they are! Have A Nice Day!
Actually that’s false. She’s going through trash in Denton, Texas. And she can very much so get in trouble. I used to know a lady who lives in Denton and did this shit and had gotten a couple of trespassing tickets and even landed herself in jail one of the times cause of the way she handled the situation.. you can get in trouble...
When I first saw this girl (RUclipsr)I noticed she was here in Texas but didn’t even think she was in the Dallas metroplex.i thought maybe San Antonio or Austin perhaps but after watching this video the dumpsters clearly say Denton all over them and one of the first bags she grabbed said “UTD” with black and green and that’s the college she’s dumpster diving or at least college town. She can definitely get in trouble doing this here..
Its not illegal everywhere, it depends on the state and city ordinances
Rummaging through bags with your bare hands is dangerous. Buy yourself some gloves. Be safe.
$5 will buy 70 gloves at Dollar General. FYI
Seriously!!! What if there’s needles or any other hazardous materials !!
@@erinjensen2799 You're a little bit late to the party. This video is almost two months old and Kelly now wears gloves when she's diving.
Yes, there should be a nearby church parking lot with different bins for unopened food, clothes, school supplies, cleaning products, etc; that the students could drop them at.
And the week before these students were out at a “save the planet” rally! Don’t they see the connection??? Tossing things instead of donating. SMH.
Tess Molloy I agree but a lot of times students don’t have a way to leave campus to donate their clothes. Some campuses don’t allow you to have cars certain years and others don’t allow it at all. The college should be providing donation bins
At the university I work at in Georgia, they do a "donate it, don't dump it" campaign starting in April of every year. Yes, they place sorting bins out everywhere next to dumpsters and the university gathers it all up, organizes it and donates to charity. UNT might also do this. Sorry if someone already noted this. I am not reading all of the comments! Enjoyed the episode!
Girl, Your channel is BLOWING UP! I knew it would! Keep rocking the Dumpster Diving! We ❤ your content!
Hi Breakfast. Love your vids. My DD bag contains: rubberized gardening gloves, hand sanitizer, paper towels, baby wipes, small empty plastic bins with lids, zip lock baggies for smalls, fabric shopping bags for clothing, sunglasses, hat, a collapsible step, a sm pole with rubberized ends to hold up the dumpster lid and my grabber. I keep large empty plastic bins in my trunk. I found a new, shower curtain and opened it to protect my back seat. So far these supplies have worked for me.
I found a small ice chest in a CVS dumpster with reusable ice packs. I take them with me for dives at ALDI's. Thanks, Char in PA
My school has donation bins for food, clothes, school supplies, books, home goods, etc. Reuse reduce and recycle people!!!
Haha! You do exactly what I do- but I'm in VA. And there, it happens in May/June. Between the unopened food, toiletries, clothing, textbooks, tech stuff, school supplies, I supplied myself, made stacks, and donated to school teachers. Plus gas $++ from scrap metal and pawning.
When I lived in New Haven CT, Yale would provide a ton of bins marked “Take it or Leave it” for students to leave/take useable goods during move out week. Then a charity group would empty the bins every day.
is anyone going to talk about the scary fact that that bag was in perfect condition and still had everything inside including an ID.... kinda sketchy idkkk😂
I wonder if the college goes through and just throw away everything left behind in the rooms. That bag looks like some kid was like... F it I graduated! And just left the bag behind
They do throw things away that college students leave behind. I mean they do “clean the rooms” but always clean again before getting settled
I would have taken the bag
This makes me a lot less sympathetic to college students who are complaining about the cost of college.
Yes. The apparel and accessories could at least be taken to a place like Platos Closet. We have 4 places here that pays cash on the spot. What I can't sell, I donate to our community support place.
The waste is disgusting. They could at least donate stuff that's in good condition.
do not generalize, not all students do that , in fact very few...
Of course the state pays and mommy and daddy why should they care
Some take planes home and cannot take much ..even packing your car up , it only fits so much. .
I wanted to get rid of my bike after college so I put it on the side of the road with a sign that said "free" and it was gone within ten minutes. That's the least you could do for something like a bike.
AGREED‼️👏🏼💯‼️👏🏼💯‼️
Wow i find this very overwhelming. I would feel depressed trying to look through all that. Well done to you young lady. What a wasteful society we live in. Dumping instead of donating. These people must already have too much materially to do this. Boy this really saddens me. Your a very hard working young women. Thankyou for your caring and strong work ethic. Can't say that about those that dumped all this.
Nice haul! I hope you snagged those work shirts with the tags on them. There’s actually a style that people will wear work shirts, especially if they have patches or names on them.
Has anyone ever told you to leave? I wish i had your guts because you're making a difference! Thanks for sharing, and wear gloves girl!
My daughter is in the military, and they have a trade cabinet you can drop all your stuff off. And whoever needs it and can take what they need.
This really upsets me. I wonder how much schlorship money was used to buy these things that were so easily dumped. I guess attending college hasn't taught these students anything!
Well i agree no catfish nana it's upsetting. Yet , i would think this is something taught or not at home.
You need gloves and a go pro camera!!
So much waste,must be nice to just throw perfectly good stuff away and then go buy more...
They wont be the ones buying more. Their poor parents working 2 jobs will be....
My son built himself a bicycle from parts he found in dumpsters when college students went home for summer.
I know I have trouble sleeping but how the hell did I get sucked into this trash abyss?
Lol same
It would be nice if they put by the dumper, those clothes bins that go to boys and girls club or animal shelters.
Good for you girl!! we definitely waste so much...it is so very sad!! you're right that they should put donation bins for the students to use!!
It’s the disposable society we live in. If something isn’t perfect they throw it away and buy a new one. My sister lived near a university and she used to “trash shop” get barely used furniture and hints that they can’t move home so they discard. Now I have the perfect dumpster diving vehicle- a pickup, so I want to get onto it.
Nice maam ,pls donate that in our country
so someone just deadass threw away their whole college bag straight in the dumpster???? wtf...
if you looked close, The guy left his college ID card in there as well.
robertintexas I saw that too.
I was hoping she would have looked at it to see who was throwing the bag away.
It’s like he dropped out and just threw his whole bag in the trash
Wish I were there to help you....but I'm in Tennessee 😀. Take Care
I SO like her 2023 style of doing over what she did back at this time 3 years prior...more about saving from the landfill then cherry picking for resale. Both worthy causes but saving it all is kinda fun. Channel has come a long way. Especially fun now that Alex has joined the fun on a daily basis.
Finding that PS1 Slim and the Spyro game would have made my day 😁 I'm not going to lie I probably would have left and went home to play the game LOL
Penn State Main does Trash to Treasure Sale every May. But it ONLY accounts for the dorm rooms... it does not include off campus housing. They hold the sale underneath Beaver Stadium. $5 early bird entrance fee. Shop til you drop!
In my town at move out time the Salvation Army parks a truck for the students to put donation in.
Smart people!
Gail, that's a great idea. The stuff college student throw out is perfectly fine. Needs to be salvaged and who better to do this than the Salvation Army.
Brilliant to go there when the students move out. I can’t get over the stuff that they get rid of. But their loss is your gain!
I can’t believe the waste of these college students! I remember when I was moving from college, I had extra things that wouldn’t be able to fit in my parent’s house (couch, one of those fabric closets, a microwave). My Dad and I put them outside of the front door. Before he could even write out a ‘Free’ sign, someone came up and asked if we were giving it away. The place I was living in was a complex of townhouses. It was mostly families living there. Within minutes, people surrounded the front of the townhouse waiting to see if we would be giving away other items. I ended up giving more than I intended to but everyone was so grateful and happy. It worked out well. If they had not come by, I would have just taken them home and either donated or sold the items. I think the donation box outside of the college for move-out day would be a good idea.
I used to work at a hotel that most of the employees were either from out of province or another country. We had employee housing. When people would leave the job (a lot of them were seasonal), there was a room in a staff common area that you could leave the items that were too much to pack and bring on a plane. People left luggage, bedding, dishes, clothing, etc. We could go into this room and take whatever we wanted or needed. It was good for those who had just moved in and forgot to bring certain items.
I’m happy to see that thanks to you, a lot of these items will be reused and saved from landfills :)
I am so going to start dumper diving at the nearby colleges.
You are so ahead of other young people with your views and awareness. Most people at your age have no idea what is wasted and therefore have no concept of thrift/reality. You have a real headstart on life. Good luck, liked and subscribed! P.S. Thank you for donating stuff as you did w the bread in the other video.
I grew up in a college town and it has always been like this after student move out day. And there are TONS of dumpster divers who go through it all. I think donation bins would be great. Maybe that’s something that could be coordinated with the local thrift stores and donation centers? Of course they would have to be very very conveniently located. The biggest problem is college aged students -collectively speaking- tend to procrastinate, and are doing all of this at the very last minute. They realize they don’t have room to bring everything home so they chuck it quickly and gtfo lol! But I think all the townie dumpster divers benefit greatly from it and I think it all comes out in the wash lol!
Honestly I'm 100% for curbside finds. I currently live in one of these college community rentals, and lots of people leave things on the side of the dumpster, in hopes of someone else benefitting from it. That being said though, lots of people dump straight up TONS of actual garbage in this same area and so some good things that could be used end up all mixed in. I wish there was a more centralized way of giving these things directly to people, or in a location where it would directly benefit others. Like I've seen lots of communities do community pantry's like they would community library at the side of ones house or in a commonly used field.
I'll tell you something, I have watched a few different youtube channels that dive but you are my favorite so far. You seem to be the realest. I really like that you're donating so much too.
I have just binge watched you. What do I think? ❤️YOU ARE FAB❤️.
I watched one vlog then another until my eyes were sore.
I’m from Northern Ireland and it’s illegal to Dumpster Dive here, I wish we could.
There is no doubt we live in a disposable world,
Love, love, love your vlogs keep them coming.
God Bless xxxxx❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️xxxxx
Where I live, the Salvation Army helps with dorm clear outs. My husband and I are full-time resellers and are thinking of offering a closet clearout service this year. That way we get inventory cheap and we can make some profit while helping avoid waste like this :)
You're brilliant! I might do the same thing here.
Ask thrift stores to bring one of their trucks to the apartment complex and the students bring things to the truck.
One of the college's my daughter went to had three bins for move out days.
Donations - Recycle - Trash!
Do you worry about bugs? I’d be terrified of taking cockroaches or bed bugs into my home
These students aren’t there long enough to be that gross lol...and they probably just throw out their dirty clothes instead of washing them after one wearing so really...that’s probably the best place to find clothing at the end of semesters...nothing is really used...I wish I had the amount of money spent on just one of those dumpsters items...it’s probably in the six digit range..
Don't be hateful. There is no reason to bully or call names. If you don't agree with what she does then why are you here watching her videos?
@@retroredux1 Oh shut up. No one is getting bullied, I was making a joke. Plus just because I don't agree with everything a person does doesn't mean I don't want to watch their videos.
@@alexlux8337 typical bully behavior. You called this sweet young girl a bitch for no reason.
@@retroredux1 exactly
If you think that's crazy, you should check out a ski resort on the first day of off season. There's skis, snowboards and all the equipment in the world. Opposite after summer, bikes, backpacks and tents.
I made more money from selling those things than I did during the season in housekeeping or cooking. Seriously, van loads of stuff.
Love your videos but please use gloves healthy first🙂
Dude, I cant believe people throw all this away! I'm so broke I can't even throw away paper plates some times 🤦♀️
Every semester
I do this too I'm in a big college town and ppl throw away whole TV's and computers you wouldn't believe it
Im so broke i can't afford paper plates 😅😅😅😅
Sarah Willis go to your local college at the end of the year and dumpster dive or even just check the stuff on the curb and you’ll have most of what you need very quickly
The horrible waste of all this makes me want to cry.
Love watching your videos... it's calming...
My college places give & take boxes throughout the school year & at the end, summer crew goes through the stuff and does a huge donation to good will. Students will also plan a really free market twice a year and many students take a bunch of stuff home
Sounds like a good project for the sororities to get involved. They could collect for the thrift stores, homeless shelters, etc. Publicize a month before school is out. Get the thrifts to get some kind of recepticals on a truck(fraternity involvement) and go to locations in the apartment complexes to collect.
It would be a perfect fit for the School of Social Welfare, Social work majors.
I dumpster dove in Chicago for years. Paying all my household bills every month. My advice? Take everything! If it has any kind of value, beingcleaned is easy. It'll be worth something to someone! Even selling an item for 25cents is 25cents more you didn't have! Get for free!!??? Sell it!!
Speaking of, did anyone notice if she pocketed that quarter?
U can take the good bedding pillows bed rolls aka foam mattress to your local homeless shelter or places that help other people or second hand stores for ur miscellaneous lamps household goods and whatnot they should take all of that
In Italy where I live we have dumpsters for clothes, and household items, these are for Caritas. Once a week a big truck comes and sorts through the items and takes them away. Italy is big on recycling…we have paper, glass and metal, plastic, and dumpsters for organic too. Also at the recycling center they accept all kinds of things, furniture, large items in glass, small and large appliances, printer ink cartridges, old cooking oil, batteries, just to name a few. There is also a recycling store where you just donate unwanted usable things and they in turn sell them for a nominal fee. I hope that your town has established these centers so there will be less items that can be recycled in the landfills. I enjoy watching your videos!
Ppl are sooo wasteful! I'm glad that u take time and go thru and make use of all of this stuff and are able to make money from other ppls stuff they don't want.good job!
Thank you for rescuing things out of the dumpster and landfills!
Dickie shirts, pants are a good selling item on ebay plus schools books sell really well on ebay too. Awesome videos
Notre Dame asks that the kids take it to one location, and the school has a huge Sale to get rid of it.
I've seen that on the news, it's great! ND does it right!
But dumpster diving is free
You get in trouble with diving at Notre Dame cause it's on there campus i only live like 20 mins away and if the campus police see they tell u to leave
I used to dumpster dive! It is so fun! I do still go where the dumps are here that have a building for ppl to leave stuff that they no longer want. It amazes me at some stuff people throw away!
Every college I've been to looks like this during move out week!
I used to dumpster dive to simply take the items to the local thrift store.
One college actually had Goodwill bring bins over for the students to fill and then they would pick up the items to sell in the Goodwill store, worked out well for both organizations.
Oh my goodness I 💗 Dumpster ... especially that one... I would be all over a college dumpster if I had one near me 😞
Why just look for clothes? I saw rugs and you said kitchen stuff, all could be donated if the rugs aren't too disgusting
Sounds like she sells on Poshmark. Taking clothes to resell. She did take some stuff to donate tho.
Kitchen Stuff Yes absolutely. My friend and her family dived and always found enough cleaning supplies that they never had to buy it ever. I had a estate sale once and people were asking to buy the trash bags, cleaning stuff etc. even sold the sewing basket with threads etc. (regretted that one later). Anna In Ohio.
I would have grabbed all and gave to homeless shelters 🤷♀️
I’ve been reading about the terrible weather you have been having in Texas, the loss of electricity and water - I do hope you are coping with all of it and are okay. Hang in there - Janice from Nova Scotia, Canada
OMG!! GLOVES!!! Also, yes, donation bins would be a great start.
Wow, That’s insane 😱 glad you saved some off it 👍🏻☺️
I also live in a college town. I wish the county fairgrounds could be used as a swap meet. Charge a small fee to get in, then trade things with others.
@Shelly Summerville I love it!
I feel like you could make a full time job off diving and selling online!
Check Out Momtheebayer
Some people do!
Thank you Kel! I ABSOLUTELY adore your videos! I also dumpster dive in my town & although my town is quite small it's appalling what people THROW AWAY! Keep up the struggle ! ITS REAL
I can’t believe the amount of stuff there is in the bins my god the clothes would help the people who haven’t got much well done to you for getting stuff out the dumpster I wish I was there with you I love your channel love Caroline from the uk x
Someone's like, "OH NO!! I THINK I LOST MY PHONE WHEN I WAS DUMPSTER DIVING!!"
Good thing they thought to remove the SIM card before they lost it!
My friends and I used to troll the "throw away" items at the end of each semester. It's how I got a lot of stuff during that time
Gloves! Puncture proof gloves, please!
You do a great job finding things and you always have a beautiful smile on. Bless you for all your hard work!
Welcome back! I've OWNED my own CLEANING BUSINESS for 33 yrs every year our College STUDENTS leave I rack up also! I just never called it Dumspter diving lol you should just take the bags with clothes n things n out them in your car n go through them at home I'd take it all You do good go girl 😎
