Dumpster Diving to Reduce Waste, Give Back, & Save Money! Today was a blast :)

- This was an awesome full day of dumpster diving! I drove a little further away today and loved the change of scenery. I primarily stayed at apartment complexes today but did score some great return items at a $1 store.
I am always so happy when we are able to save things from the trash - even if I personally can't use it or sell it - I love being able to donate and rescue perfectly good (and sometimes brand new) items from ending up in the landfill. Thank you so much for watching and I will see you next time!! :D

the round covers with the roosters on them is to cover the burners on a stove
Correct
Lol 😂😂😂
Lol your missing two
Can't stop laughing....😂😂😂😂🎶😂
Only use them on Electric Stoves
While dumpster diving and wearing that T-Shirt you shouldn’t receive flack from people. Looks pretty official. 👍 LOL
I thought the exact same thing! lol
@@ashleynarvaiz2761 that sounds like a lie lol jk
I would just a use a normal shirt and buy a reflective Green vest..
I was thinking you should have kept the construction hat and vest you found on one of your dives. It would have made you look official, like you were simply doing your job. No one would ever question you!
Those metal things with the roosters on them are covers for the burners on your stove.Very old school.Love your videos!You are so sweet and. down to earth.Keep diving! Kathy Joseph ,Wheelersburg Ohio
Pilgrim doesn’t even know he’s famous. He’s such a cutie pie!! 🥰🐶💗
I have an idea for your "Family" frame: put some cup hooks along the bottom and hand your car keys, dog leash, caps etc. Those rooster circles are "Stove burner covers" ... just 2 are missing, can be hung on your kitchen walls as decorations! Love the Three Kings tapestry pillow you are keeping!
I kept saying, "take the family sign," because of creative ideas like yours.
Put a chalk board in it
Yes on the family sign she can also get some family pictures & put double sided tape on the pictures put them where the pictures would go while hanging on the wall then add the hooks like you were saying
I thought the same thing about the family frame. Yes that is a fantastic pillow so beautiful.
Like your idea neat
Can't believe someone threw those flowers out, they are still good. Those lids are burner covers.
My guess is that she thought his mess up was a dozen long stem roses bad, not a spring bouquet bad.
Whereis TheSerenity I was thinking the same thing!!! Only reason I would throw out flowers! 💐
Whereis TheSerenity Or the recipient was just really pissed at the giver! 😂
Could be allergies too
In case you ever wonder, your secret sauce for so many subs in a short time is your infectious enthusiasm for saving stuff and your huge ❤️. Pilgrim doesn’t hurt either! I would so buy a shirt with Pilgrim on it!
You should really consider coming out with your version of waste management shenanigans and official merchandise! Pilgrim can also be the official Dumpster Diving Waste Management mascot 🐕
I thought so too! They will think Kelly works for Waste Management!
RemarkableLankyBean I would order a Brefkast shirts!!!
You’re gonna have to get your name put on your “WM” shirt and “Employee of the month” on there too. Lol
“It’s kinda gross, but I’m in love with it.”
Kelly Sparks
I just love your energy!!!!
No one should bother you while your wearing the WM shirt...just tell them your the dumpster inspector!!!
Little tip....put the beautyful pillow in a pillowcase before you throw it into the washer...use an elastic band to close the pillowcase end...it will wash up like brand new 👍🏻
Thank you so much!!! That is so helpful!
Also put it in the the drier BEFORE WASH IT! on high heat for about 5 minutes or until its real hot. Will kill all bugs including bedbugs.
If your dryer has a sanitizing cycle, use that!
Great idea!
Yup, I wash pillows regularly. Just have to make sure the washer load is balanced or it goes whumpa-whumpa-whumpa when the spin cycle starts 😜. Just be sure to put them in a plastic garbage bag and close tight before you put it in the car.
I saw Don't Tell Mom the Babysitter's Dead in that first DVD pile! "The dishes are done, man."
That is one of my all time favorite movies!
Funny!
Love this movie!
I'm right on top of that, Rose
Love your videos. Also it always seems like there’s a Little Cesar’s box in every dumpster!
Why didn’t you take those bananas! 10:25
Sarah Lyver was thinking the same! Great for baking!
Or just eating. They looked good
Sally Hildreth I know they looked perfectly ripe!
I just knew she was going to grab them. When she didn’t I was shocked!
I was thinking the same. They're in their own protection. I'd snack on them straight out of the dumpster lol
I just cant watch you enough. Love your energy and goodness that smile. Hi Pilgrim. What a cool furry baby you are. 🥰❤❤❤❤
just saw you posted again and got super happy! I care for my granddad who raised me, he has dementia and is on hospice. he has been sick all day he is finally resting I needed a break. my favorite RUclipsr, 'you' just posted. much better now. love your videos.
Awww you are a sweetheart. I know your grandfather loves you very much. Try and take time for yourself. It's important so you don't burnout.
What a nice person you are. Caring for a loved one with dementia is very hard. As the caregiver you have so many jobs rolled into one, and as being the granddaughter it is emotionally difficult. May the Lord bless.
Those turkey metal plates go over the stove burners. Happy diving joy to the world
We love you all the way from Australia your laugh and smile brighten up my day thanks for your hard work ♥️♥️
Crafters would love those frames and frame pieces. The rooster stove eye covers. Also the ‘flimsy’ berry basket.
I am sooo jealous of your Waste Management shirt 🔥
You need one too!
What are u doing over here Paul? I’ve got ur video in my line up to watch tonight.
Hi paul...sometimes u take kelly wt ur scrap adventures bec. u have a lot of good stuff that u didn't get...letbe kelly to take it😊😊😊love u both😘😘😘
Mornin' Ralph! Mornin' Sam!
@@JamesWilliams-vs2od James Williams that's what I was thinking what are you doing here scrap & pallet man 😄
To help your flowers last longer, trim the ends of the stems with a knife ( scissors will squish the ends)add an ASA tablet or some 7up to the water and enjoy them.
You should have taken the Blockbuster DVD for the nostalgia, I best someone would have bought it! Those frames you left in the dumpster I bet crafters could use.
I thought the same about the DVD cases I know there are a lot of cases I would like to have.
People have been buying plastic blockbuster bags on ebay.
Crafters definitely love frames! 👍
Kelly, after you wash it, if possible put your pillow out in the sun from 10 to 2, on a bright sunny day.
Also, if your pillow keeps getting flatter, dont throw it away. Put it out in the bright sun!
For several hours. The sun dries out your pillow. All the drool and sweat and moisture.
You will be amazed how much it plumps up the pillow. 10 to 12 on one side, turn over 12 to 2. And will smell marvelous. Put it on a chair or table or in desperation on a towel or blanket in the grass or on a porch railing.
Krud kutter from Walmart will take of most of spray pain, especially if wet when you get it. Good luck! I love your Happy smiling personality. A delight to watch. Happy New Year! Hugs to you Alex and Pilgrim!
Awesome find on the dollar store bag..👍 I love the flowers they look so pretty in your living room...🙂
The Family frame - wrap a few strings of twine around it or a piece of rope across the bottom half with those tiny clothes pins made for crafting (at dollar store) to hang pictures off of. Cute idea 💛 love your video's!
The roosters are stove top covers
electric not gas
Yeah they go over the burners on a stove
That my guess too
Put pillows in the dryer on high; should kill any critters that may be hiding. Move the large mirror to the empty wall over by the chair where you want to put the 3 wise men pillow and arrange the smaller mirrors you just found.
I laughed out loud when you said "I just put a dumpster flower on my face". 😁. Love your videoes. Looks fun...
Those things with the roosters on them are covers for your hot plates on the stove top. They usually come with four and it just makes your stove top look pretty
It's raining here, but your smile brightens up my day ☀️☀️☀️🌝
The tin rooster things are covers for the burners on a gas stove, 2 are missing from the set. It rained all day today in SW Indiana. We had beautiful weather over the weekend though!
I DD’ed yesterday, Sunday afternoon, and found 4 bags of home goods and 6 cents at the bottom of one of the bags. 😄😄😄 Have a great Tuesday!!!
Family Frame.. you could cut a piece of cork board and use it that way.
18:57 Those roosters are stove burner covers. They're used to extend serving/counter space or just to look nice when the stove is not in use. Though they could be turned into wall decor. I know a LOT of people collect chickens/roosters & will love them.
LadySude1 They sell those exact ones at Dollar Tree 😊
The rooster “lids” go on round eyes on a stove.
I love the shirt too. Soooo cool. You look so happy today, its contagious! I was smiling at the end too. Thank you. 😊
I am jealous of your yard !!! I’m curious to know how you came about the name Pilgrim for your doggy ???
Great haul Kelly!! Make sure that the pacifiers are not recalled! I love your excitement when you are diving!! So adorable 😍
Aww my uncle used to work for waste management. He unfortunately passed away but that man LOVED his job for WM 💕💕
The rooster covers are for the burners on your stove. You just put them on your burners when they are cold. They look cool.
Showing u love from Scotland 🏴💜
The little green brushes are for veggie to wash them and the rooster cover things are to cover you stove burners
I just want to say I love love love the you donate the stuff you find that you can't use of sell. Thank you !!!
The frames without the glass or backs would have been great for craft projects. Lots of DIY options for them.
Put soap on the zippers and that will fix the pocket book
Rinki Salmons or candle wax
Plus, it looked like there were a couple pieces of dark fuzz where the zipper zips that could cause it to stick...
@@ginadean4206 I use a bar of soap and run it along the zipper it never sticks again
Hello score on picture frames. Pilgrim is doing his preexercising before going to the dog park. GREAT VIDEO AND GREAT CONTENT. THUMBS-UP ALWAYS!!!!!!!!!!!!
The rooster “lids” are actually electric burner covers and yes the pads are called pot holders.
The rooster things are burner covers for your stove, usually in sets of 4. However I have turned them over and used as trays on my bathroom counter.
That family frame..tie a piece of string one end to the other..get some tiny clothes pins..instant hang a couple of pictures in the center..instant repurpose.
Yay what great finds! That's so sweet of her to mail the shirt to you Kelly 😄. My husband use to work for waste management😉. Those 💐 were perfectly fine 👏 so pretty & those rooster covers to over your burners 😊, what an awesome score from the dollar store!! Take care and much love to you and yours 💞🙏
Did my first dumpster dive yesterday evening, inspired by you. Everything I nabbed was outside the dumpster tho. You are an eco-warrior helping to save the planet/reduce waste 🙂
I have a few of those small green brushes for potatoes . All great finds today girl !!! Also those covers might be for the stove top !
When ya gotta go, Ya got to go ! A little "potty" humor. Love the shirt, It will get you in all the best dumpsters in town ! Stay safe & have fun ! :)
Your Rooster tin rounds are tops for your stove. Two are missing.
Great finds. I think your so brave.
I enjoy how much fun you have. God bless you.
Your positivity and kindness just oozes through the screen. I love watching your videos...and I just adore pilgrim. He's the sweetest!
Great haul you could put chicken wire on the bottom of the family piece and glue mini clothes pins and hang pictures from them
how is that robot thingy working out? the floor sweeping thing lol
Ayippy I would like to know too.🧹
Kelly, you should take all the empty cases too. Remove the movie paper from them and people will buy them for crafts or just to put discs in that they've made from reunions or the like.
Pilgrim is such a handsome boy, it's always lovely to see him. You had a really good haul there too today. Loving the t-shirt it looks very official 😊
I thought the flowers were artificial at first so when Kelly said she would take them home and put them in water I thought, "Is she losing it??" 😂😂😂 They are so pretty they didn't look real! Great finds!
I love your energy & you are Always so happy & giving....I’ve got to send you something soon😁😁😁 FYI A mother WILL sanitize those pacifiers before they would ever go in a baby’s mouth👍🏼😁
Glad you took the FAMILY frame ....great haul !
I could watch you all day honestly
Put a piece of cork board in the family frame and hang it to post notes and reminders, etc.
That is the perfect T-shirt for you! Love it
The rooster tins are for your stove burners to cover them to keep things falling into them when not in use.
AWW how cool to have that shirt!!
Those things you called plates with the rooster on them from dollar store are actually stove top burner covers normally they come in a set of 4 in different sizes for the different size burners
You could use some of that bubble wrap for your shipping items. That stuff is so expensive to buy.
I love this girl. I think she should wear a face shield or cover her nose and mouth to protect herself from bacteria
I love that you made sure you got those pennies!
"Grass grows greenest over the septic field" That might be your patch of nice, green grass!
Beekeepers across the nation are requesting that people leave their dandelions for the bees, especially during the spring months, because they suffer so much trying to make a come back from the winter with all of their habitats being destroyed. Just a thought😘
My dog was scratching on the door at the same time as Pilgrim :)
Hi, once again enjoyed another video of yours. Those lids with the Roosters on them are actually covers for your stove top they're not leads to any containers or or anything else there to cover each of the stove top burners
It might be where your septic tank is. Usually grass will grow more if it is.
I was thinking that might be Pilgrim's favorite place to potty.
Rub some regular candle wax along the zipper of that purse and it will fix it. It helps it to glide smoothly. Those f.owers are so pretty!
I live on a tiny Island in the Caribbean, so always nice weather hahahha i have 9 dogs and 16 cats. Hahahaha
So happy to see your smiling face this morning!! Great haul!! Pilgrim should have his own utube channel ❤️
Where does your hubby sell his sweat shirts.
I watch you and I think you are doing a great job my name Diana prince
The weird basket is for berries and made in Jacksonville Tx at the Texas Basket Company. They have been making baskets for over 100 years.
That FAMILY. Sign, That’s to be put on the wall for decoration.
Billie Kennedy I would add some hooks to it & make it more useful.
“See a penny, pick it up, all day long you’ll have good luck!” 😊 x
Only if it's heads! Never pick up a penny if it's tails....it will bring u bad luck.
@@vegan4life302 - I’ve not heard that ending before - thank you for sharing! 😊
Those flowers are so pretty and look like they were just bought
Right?! I'm so happy to have found them, they are really brightening up our living room :D
breafkast they were meant for you to save and enjoy.
I found the clearance section in the flower department of my regular Krogers grocery store and both myself and my mom regularly score there. Big or just complicated arrangements for just two bucks usually, 4 at the most. And they last for a good long time especially if you rearrange them every 2-4 days. It's really nice for the winter months in Ohio. And keep checking because they purge but then really build up again. Sometimes I just pick out greenery and get that, super cheap and good for some life and positivity around the house.
i love what you do. & pilgrim loves you so much & i can tell how much you guys love on him. so sweet, warms my heart. ❤️❤️
the items you got with the chickens are stove burner covers
My mama got a couple of throw pillows after a flash flood washed them into her yard a few years back. A little pinesol, detergent, and hot water the were good as new. lol
The roasters are burner covers for the stove
Very nice dive today. The weather is perfect. I'm also in Texas and it was beautiful today. Pilgrim is obviously part German Shepard, do you know what else he has in him besides just lots of love and devotion?
I so love your videos. I went dumpster diving last weekend and didnt find a lot but found some stuff.
The Roosters are used as burner covers on electric stoves
Super admire what you do! So great!
Hi Kelly.In the summer month i get bouquets of flowers(all Kinds) from a menonite lady that grows hundred or more different flowers in her gardens and sells arrangements into the fall months.She uses ice cold water and put clorox bleach in with the water,They stay so so much longer before they start to die.I do the same when i pick my flowers and it works so well.
If you rub a bar of soap on a zipper that sticks it will usually start to work. My mom taught me that and it works.
The mirrors r great and the family sign 🎉
The things with the roosters on it cover your stove plates so you can sit stuff on them but it covers your burners on your stove the bigger ones are for the bigger burners and the little ones are fertile little burners You're missing two
The rooster tin pieces are burner covers but they would look nice hanging on a kitchen wall
Love your video's, never commented, but wanted to tell you pillows, stuffed animals, etc, throw them in the dryer first, the heat will kill bed bugs and most bugs, then wash and dry
The rooster lids are to cover the burners on an electric stove.
Hi 👋 love what you do the tin with the roosters 🐓 on them are for your cooker tops and all the picture frames 🖼 you should do a wall with them it would be lovely 😊 keep up the good work you do ( people are so wasteful with the things they throwaway ) xx ps love 💕🐾 pilgrim xx
It's called a pot holder. U take it to hold hot pots from the stove. From Miss Vernola from Baltimore MD.
