got caught the other night. said I was looking for boxes. the security guard all of a sudden started getting boxes for me. now I have a bunch of boxes I don't need!!! LOL
Lol
Depending on the situation, I either say looking for boxes, or that I'm a recycler.
Aw man!! You think fast on your feet!! I wouldve been terrified and stuttering😂😂😂
I ended up with a lot of boxes once, too. Now I always say that I'm looking for bubble wrap.
I say am grabbing bubble wrap.
if u find my ex boyfriend in there please don’t resell him
LOL
Amy Ring he’s defective I left him in there for a reason
@@raybot2 lmao I hear u girl mine is too!
😂😂
Lol :D
Honestly people throwing perfectly good things away is my biggest pet peeve. Give it to a thrift store! 😩
I feel bad because I just threw away an office chair today. I put it on Craigslist, but no one picked it up in time before the trash came. Should've taken it to Goodwill.
You have to look at it from a liability stand point. When I worked at Walgreens, we threw away eggs close to expiration date and my co-worker asked my boss why don't we donate them to a homeless shelter. He said that it's a liability to the company in case someone gets deathly sick or something happens health wise. Same goes for products that were displays. However, I understand where you're coming from, target donates their items to Goodwills.
I had perge day other day and was so over my clothes and seriously just threw bunch out new and what not. I'm always buying new stuff so it doesn't matter. I'm guessing that's whatr these people do.
I volunteer with homeless and extremely low income people and it makes me sad +angry when people throw out perfectly good stuff. I live in a newer apartment in a semi nice part of town, everytime people move they throw out such nice stuff, just the other day i found really nice clothes and shoes stuffed in a bag and real leather bar stools that looked brand new and a cool metal wall art and other stuff. I took the clothes to the place i volunteered. The stools and wall art i kept, the wall art still being sold on Amazon for $56 and the stools after looking them up were close to $300 a piece.
Stores get hit constantly with "returns" that came from dumpster diving. Dishonest people are why stores break stuff
I don’t think you have to apologize for being gross and sweaty in a video about dumpster diving.
Besides, she looked great for 90 whatever
@@moonxshakti at first I thought you meant she looked great for 90... Yrs old... 😂😂🤣
@@sashypooh409 nah, 90°, she thought she looked less than great, but u can't even tell, she deals with the heat well...
🤣
This is why they hate dumpster divers. They RIP open bags and dont bring their own to put the left over trash in 🤣
I am really surprised to see so many negative comments. I think you are doing a great job and I get excited seeing all of the treasures you find!
If ppl would just live by the old saying, “If you don’t have anything nice to say, don’t say anything at all,” the world would be a much nicer place to be.
I cut the candles in chunks and use in my wax warmer.
yeah good idea. she can make smaller candles as well. melting the wax and using a yogurt container or other small containers to make new candles.
That’s a good idea! Came to leave a comment suggesting she melt the wax, buy new wicks and make new candles using old jars....but I like your idea better ☺️
Melt the wax down and pour into ice cube trays to make wax melts
@@christinakeith2991 good idea! I hate throwing out the yankee candles when they burn out bc theres still wax in them!
@@driley5004 I just slice through it and keep the chunks in a ziplock baggie to burn in my wax warmer.
Hey doll just a heads up, when you find candles that have the glass broken like that, just put them in the fridge or freezer for few minutes and they slide right ou. You won't lose the wick like that.
Ty sis good tip I know no
Thanks so much for this!
Good tip!!
Great tip
For all the haters....this woman is most likely cleaner than any of you. She also, has the most purest of hearts..I've seen her clean and re stock a book donation bin. She donates the majority of your wasted clothes, etc..to people in need. I promise when it all ends...she will enter the gates wayyyyyy before you!!!
Hi sugar. I must say that I am in total admiration of your way of thinking, diving & organization. These things that you find, when you fold them/ separate & display them the way you do, you're giving it new life and value. I've watched a few of your hauls and I've learned thru your eyes to see value. You have such a beautiful and kind spirit. Blessings🦸♀️🦸♀️🦸♀️
I cant believe people throw clothes away when its just as easy to donate them to someone in need. That's so insane.
A business could donate and write off the loss. Very lazy.
The only time I’ve ever seen people throw away bags of clothes is because someone had lice or bed bugs or something - she should store this stuff in her garage 🤮
Ive seen store rip vlothes so people couldnt dumpster dive.
Recently I threw away a huge basket of clothes because I found out the whole thing was caked in old crusty cat pee. An hour later they were all gone from the dumpster. Seriously? I have so many questions about what came of those clothes.
A lot of times ppl don't live near donation drop offs or they want to organize and get rid of stuff. Ppl get tired of holding onto stuff/hoarding when they know they're done with stuff and just want to get rid of it. There can be lots of reasons.
I don’t know how I ended up here... but I’m getting anxiety just watching her
Fera me too! I’m so scared since she’s not protecting her legs and the rest of her body! I’m like worried she’ll get pricked w a needle or cut w something!
I would've liked this coment but it had 69 likes and I didnt want to miss this up
Yeah..my anxiety is kicking in too..But this is way easier than couponing so..I guess I will be taking a dive real soon.
haha
🤣🤣🤣
this is why we shred important documents before disposal ladies and gentlemen 😭
She was going through people's cards. Wth
@@eefleming2595 that's probably a gift card. Why would the stores be throwing away personal credit cards.
@@sunshinejohnson7251 What do you do with your gift cards after they've been spent??? When my gift card has been spent, the Clerk puts it in the trash. I don't have the patience to watch this nonsense, but does she actually think the Trashed gift cards have value??? They don't!
@@josephvoll3842 They are put in the trash yes. You're missing the point, I'm just pointing out that they aren't credit cards. LOL If they do or do not retain monetary value is beyond the point. She probably just looked because she wasn't sure what they were at first.
@@sunshinejohnson7251 No. There's no "if they do or don't retain monetary value. THEY DON'T! The point is that She's wasting time because the cards are absolutely worthless.
Spoiler: rich people are cheap ..that’s how they got rich .
Lol she says, "maybe rich people throw more" LMAOOOOO that is why you see the dumpsters overfilled every trash week in the poor neighborhoods!
Katelyn Baer rather that’s most likely attributed to the fact that poor neighborhoods have more people sharing a dumpster and/or not paying for pickups as often. Rich dumpsters would not have that problem as they would rather pay more to not have to look at trash overflowing.
Marion Hartmann Yea, there’s this weird thing where communal dumpsters fill up quicker because there are more people using them. It’s a difficult concept to grasp.
So true, rich and wealthy people actually don't buy everything in sight like most people think.
Not in Southlake Ridiculous real estate
I like her she is up beat and she gets some good stuff to me. People are picky expecting new stuff. And some of the comments are rude. Don't like don't watch. She is being herself which I find refreshing. Thank you!!!
This not Mark nut his wife rude people out there.
I live in Fort Worth and I see ppl dumpster diving everywhere. Even in my apartment complex. It’s kinda weird and not safe cause those raccoons be already in there living their best life 😂
DeDe Moore you cracked me up lmaooooo
Wishing I knew that . I live there too . Now I’m traumatized
Omfg.😂😂😂😂
I live in Weatherford and have lived in Fort Worth too. I'm just glad people are re-using perfectly good stuff!
I lived on the Lake Worth side of Fort Worth for many years. I mostly found homeless people and possums in the dumpsters. Both would hiss at me.
As a retail worker this gives me so much anxiety because the stores do get in trouble if their trash isn't inside trash bags when the disposal company comes to pick it up.
It’s fine I guess unless you don’t make a mess on the ground
And the retails have thrown lots of good stuff in dumpster ....then turn around and get reimbursed or write it off on their taxes ....when they could have given them to the needed....grocery store do the same unopened food thrown away ...when the poor could have received them.....one guy found lots of toilet paper in the dumpster durning this shortage durning this virus ....make me think the workers are thrown it in there for themselves and getting it out later but the dumpster man got all that toilet papers
Did you ever think of going to school and getting a real skill? There are scholarships etc
@jedaholmberg3211 thats cruel! No need to put people down for the job they do!
I could not stop watching even though I find this all sorts of horrifying.
Me too
ReallyRho me 3
Me too🤣
Girl same. I watch a lot of thrift and resell channels so this was TH-cam's next suggestion? I'm also curious as to the legality? If the dumpsters are on private property is this not considered theft?
@@iamwindchakra it's legal (and/or decriminalized) in most if not all of Texas as long as there is not a lock and/or no trespassing sign. However once you are told not to do it directly you arent supposed to go back. From what I understand most other states are pretty similar.
Thanks for doing this! honestly people should be more aware of the impact that our waste creates. People like you is actually doing something great by giving this things a second life :) good job x
Yeah maybe don’t look through people’s documents, ever, yes it’s their fault if they don’t shred them but I’m almost certain people don’t expect someone to crawl through their garbage
Mr ManHuman in Australia we expect that people might (perhaps over time e.g. a couple of months) take various things with our personal details on them and try use them to open a credit card in our name or whatever 🤷♀️ So I ALWAYS cut up any debit or credit or healthcare cards, shred papers with personal details, etc.!
I don't live in a poor area, but it isn't SUPER rich either. So the chances of there being a house full of druggies down the road is a real possibility! For this reason I hide my empty subscription medication boxes inside a box that used to hold food - because a few of the meds that I'm on would be VERY desirable to a drug addict and I don't want to put myself at risk for some kind of home invasion where people look for my meds/scripts/etc.
I don't personally know what these certain drugs are actually WORTH on the black market, but they're definitely desirable and quite addictive (unfortunately, as a result, that often makes it hard for me to get them from a new Dr because so many people 'Dr shop' and 'chemist hop' to get enough of these drugs to either sustain their habit or sell/swap for other drugs...
End of the story - there is ALWAYS the possibility that someone might go through your bins, so it's best to play it on the safe side!
Mr ManHuman it’s against the law to do this in a lot of cities
I light up a barbecue with my sensitive papers... It's safer than shredding :D
Dave Chippy 😂👍
Mr ManHuman honestly you should Always assume this could happen! And either shred your sensitive documents or burn them. 🤷♀️
"I'm sorry if I'm gross and sweaty."
......[climbs out of dumpster]
If someone tries to bother you or stop you, tell them you are a rescuer. That's what we do. Rescue, restore, repurpose! I love it! Your vids are awesome. I still talk about the text books you rescued lol. Be safe my girl! Sending lots of love from Canada! ☺💪👍👍👍✌
if there is fabric in the dumpster grab it and sell it ... fabric is always useful
Belinda Holdsworth I know! That would have been the first thing I grabbed. I’m a fabric hoarder. Lol
@@Jana-TheCraftyGambler LOL...you are not alone :-) I can't go past a nice piece of fabric just like my Dad could never go past a good piece of wood.
I was thinking the same thing. It just needs to be laundered.
I was screaming "TAKE THE BOX" when you where only looking at it and was so happy when you took it.That is something I would take for sure.
That's how I was about the arm, but she didn't take it.
Friend: oh where did you get ur clothes from
Me: a garbage can
When I' m down in the dumps i get myself a new dress
Punny punny.
😂😂😂😂
Girl my mom found some Victoria secret clothes brand new and alot of prom dresses over 300 plus toys
🤦🏽♀️
🤣🤣🤣🤣
Of all the poshmark/thrift/resell TH-camrs, the dumpster divers are my ❤️
I would never dive, I’m a germaphobe, so glad to see you wearing gloves! I just love to watch you do what you do bc I love free stuff! Keep up the good content, and always be safe!
she kept the gloves on while touching her glasses, then drove her car with them on, SO not really doing any good there.
Please don't put wax in the fireplace it builds up on the inside of the chimney and catches fire and you don't want to chimney fire it will set your house on fire same reason you don't use pine use Hardwood just trying to help you if you want a good idea that'll work 100% hit those candles lock the glass off and put them in coffee cups that you found they can take the Heat good luck now cool scores👍👍
Chris k awesome info on the chimney safety. I had no idea and have been known to put candles in my fireplace AS fire starters .
When I was younger my mom lit out kitchen on fire while melting wax. Big spark flew up in the ventilation system above the stove and caught fire super fast. Believe it or not, that was not the first time she set our kitchen on fire 🤦♀️😂
How in the world is wax getting into the chimney from a candle on the floor of the fireplace!?
That is true! The wax vaporizes and collects inside the chimney just like creosote and is highly flammable. You can throw those candles in old mason jars, coffee cups, old tins, jars from candles you've already burned, or just on an old plate to catch wax drippings. And also true about the hardwoods. They have less resins, etc to collect inside the chimney.
Hi I hope this is not rude maybe take your gloves off when walking down the parking lot.
That's just what I was going to say.
Totally. She's so cute though.
or maybe take them off too before touching your glasses frame and car steering wheel! such contamination BLEH
Just thought the same thing
@@casperjennings9348 10000 times yes!! I hate when ppl do that while wearing gloves after touching the nasties!!
My dog dumpster dives all the time. I can't keep her out of my garbage for the life of me! 🤣
All I could think the whole time was what a mess you make when you open bags! You might be finding treasures, but bags serve a purpose. They keep garbage from flying everywhere when the cans are emptied. I’d seriously reconsider how you open bags and discard when you’re done. You’re probably causing the garbage trucks grief with garbage flying everywhere.
This video literally was driving me nuts because of that reason!!
Yes! Everything that got thrown into those dumpsters are probably going to end up in our waters.
My first thought lol
It is not your business. As long as she is not dumping it on the ground it is fine. That's why those things have doors. Petco slashes open full 20 lb bags of dogfood in their dumpsters.
Arielle Osborn girl stfu lmao
"I'm just trying not to draw attention to myself" she says, while wearing a bright red shirt!
Red shirts: the sign of the dumpster diver. What was she supposed to wear? A ski mask? Camouflage?
And vlogging! Lol
😂
And vlogging during the day 😂
This is so nasty and she selling the items she gets from the dumpster.
I haven’t even started watching the video and you’ve already made me laugh. This will be good.
Why not carry a few shopping type cloth bags with you? That way you can fill them and not look like you're carrying something from a dumpster, like that fabric?
darian roscoe Or get a couple of those extra large IKEA bags that hold 55 pounds. I am never without mine, they have been a Godsend!
Jeanine Attenweiler unless there is not an IKEA in the parking lot. She would need bags from shops in the shopping center to not look suspicious
Douglasville Darling sorry you see the IKEA bags everywhere nowadays. At stores that aren’t IKEA, grocery stores, garage sales, rummage sales, flea markets, anywhere. I have 4 of the extra extra large bags in my vehicle that at least 1 is always rolled up in my purse and with me. I haven’t even ever been to an IKEA store (nearest one is an hour away). I even have one out and with me when dumpster diving. No one would think twice about someone carrying around an IKEA bag wherever.
If you want to dive for personal use great. But I find reselling things you find in a dumpster horrifying. I would be horrified if I bought something "second hand" and then discovered it was from a dumpster.
snowbird that’s what I had in my mind it’s pretty gross 🤢
I agree
Exactly. Who wants an old cardboard box a pair of sunglasses came in, name brand or not. That's the stuff that people clean from junk drawers, etc... I find it hard to believe they'd sell.
Good things is THAT WILL NEVER HAPPEN lol
I use to work in retail we had to cut stuff up and make sure it was damage because of stuff like this
Lmao that “phone speaker amplifier” was definitely just the wooden base for that glass sign you tossed to the side.
Oh my I never throw away clothes unless they’re absolutely trashed, they should’ve donated those clothes. That’s astonishing to me.
World is overloaded with clothes. The fires in CA. They had to trash many donations there was a massive overload. Garbage company recycles them. NP
I'm not 100% but the lil black thing your calling a phone amplifier is just a block like thing to hold signage at the stores. That's what it looks like to me.
you're absolutely right. its just a sign holder.
I agree
😂😂 I laughed out loud because your right.
I was thinking the same. There were a bunch of inserts and a two piece glass thing that would sit right on top of the slit right with where she found it.
@@ChantelHeartsMakeup I agree, she tossed the glass aside.
The black base you found that you thought was a phone amplifier is actually just the base to a plexiglass sign display 🤗
Maybe it could be used to display artwork
I can not believe how rich people would rather throw away perfectly good clothes instead of taking them to goodwill or homeless shelters or battered women's shelters, like they don't want the poor/homeless to own THEIR designer stuff. What a damn waste.
Elizabeth Mills Good Will is a business. Salvation Army or local charitable places, that give back to the community are better. Like women shelter thrift shops.
The reason they don't give the stuff away is people will get it at a thrift store then try and return it. I worked in retail years ago and we had to smash anything ceramic so someone wouldn't try and return it.
Anywhere is better than Goodwill, their practices are for profit and over the last few decades it's been completely restructured so instead of helping local ppl and places has become less and less plus they don't pay the employees well..
I would highly recommend Salvation Army, local shelters and D.V safe homes!!
You do know goodwill also throws clothes away and other stuff if they decide they can't make a profit out of it. Sad but true.
I thought the same thing. Very sad how wasteful people can be. To throw out perfectly good clothes is crazy to me!
My mom used to work in a rich neighborhood and she once found a bag in the trash full of lots of baby clothes,men clothes, women clothes, even new clothes, iPhone charger and jewelery. We just sold it or donated it. I just kept stuff I liked
I know it is hot in Texas but you should wear long pants for safety reasons
Yes! One time i jumped into a dumpster and onto a big old glass shard and cut my leg pretty bad
OMG I was thinking the same thing. Red shirt gotta go, shorts gotta go. As hot as it maybe I would wear a long sleeve shirt, long pants, gloves, n a mask!
Agreed, I would wear a hazmat suit with all the heroin addiction in our country!! ;(
The other day all I did was take my mom's garbage to the dumpster and something sliced my finger open when I put it in! So I can't imagine what strangers have / jumping into it. I agree with this advice!!!
Was thinking the same thing
I used to babysit for a lot of rich people and they don't throw out anything. Their appliances are 40 years old but they were top of the line. They don' t get into fads. Prob why they got rich.
Yeah, I've noticed that too. They don't waste nor sp3nd, they invest in quality and timelessness.
Windy McGee , so true, I worked in a laundry in U.K. and the owners laundry was done there too. You would not even use their underwear for dusters, held together by threads!
I used to live in grapevine and babysat in south lake! Those people live in mansions and you’re right - they don’t throw things away! 🤣
I used to babysit for about 40 families and lots of rich people throw things out. Entire fridge full's of food, clothes with tags, unopened alcohol, unread books, kids toys they received as gifts but the parents didn't like them...
@@tomjones2157 Neuveaux riche is a different thing
Who else wants to go dumpster diving but is a bit sacred of germs or a lot (me)
Queen Blayor I think when it's a business or shopping center like this it's not that bad because it's not really "trash " it's just unwanted inventory but you do have to watch out for like bathroom trash some times they keep that stuff separate though because of the dumpster company's rules
I want to but my husband would be embarrassed if someone saw me and thought we were doing poorly.
MEEE and of cops😭🤣
I'm more scared of being caught by myself. If I'm with someone I know I can trust, then if we get into trouble at least we'll be in trouble together. Plus people don't really throw away stuff they don't want where I live. It's all sold online or taken to the op-shop.
@@Carla-gg1ue There could only be needles in there if it was thrown in by some junky. Pharmacies have a specially made box that they use to safely dispose of needles that don't go in the dumpster.
The fact that I can't stop watching despite the fact that this creeps me out 😂
I don't know if this sounds weird to others but I just love the sounds of you going through the stuff in dumpster. 🤭🤭🤭
Not weird. Me too.
I’m a diver. It’s getting more difficult to dive because retailers are locking the dumpsters. I’ve donated so much stuff from my dives. Mostly to Veterans in need and Animal Shelters. It is fun though
If a bag is sealed and it looks like corroded food in it, I doubt there’s a treasure inside. If it’s that hidden, I’d forget it. I agree, the bags serve a purpose, please don’t dump it all out loosely.
i know i was thinkin same thing like just rude and was obvious it was nasty
in all reality bags dont serve a purpose besides polluting our oceans and killing off species while also playing a huge part in global warming which it seems people dont understand the depth in this subject. But if plastic bags weren't involved then food would decompose naturally and toxins wouldn't invade the air.
She's showing people's cards on here. Wtf 🙄
Not always!!!
When you rummage through the bags its like asmr for me so satisfying for the senses
Omg you make such a mess in the dumpsters. You have to be a little more tidy or then it’s obvious and security increases.
yes :( ripping into the bags like that. Im all for saving useful items from dumpsters, but don't make a mess like that!
@@elizabethfoward9027 Shes downright rude! she needs to go watch some respectable people and learn shes the reason people get pissed about dumpster divers! i wont watch her i was so pissed off the whole time!
@@elizabethfoward9027 I just had to tell you i live near a city in Pittsburgh and its called Elizabeth Forward!
@@jamieb7581 where i work, the company that empties them requires 1. no loose trash and 2. that we use biodegradable plastic bags to bag up what we put in there. (they can supply, or we can get our own) We got slapped with a surcharge for loose trash, so my boss installed CCTV cameras.
@@jamieb7581 haha so cool. Have a look at my last name again....clue: it rhymes with Howard lol. Still, thats so cool!!

😂😂😂😂😂
You go to hell for that, Missy!
She didn't steal it,found in a dumpster
It was in the trash!!!it will be repurposed.You would prefer it in the landfill?
you drove quite a ways from Denton and what someone here said is probably true- the rich don't throw anything away. Denton is the perfect setup for a dumpster diver; you get the students moving in and out and throwing stuff out from textbooks to clothes and furniture they don't care about and can't or won't move. You might check for thrift stores in whatever town you go into and if you find zero you can run in and check a thrift (and their dumpster)
They get alot of services done outside the home so have nothing to throw away. They get their hair washed, nails done, by businesses, eat food out ect.
Tom Jones Maybe they are rich because they don throw away anything.🤷🏼♀️
The hand on that arm would have made a great ring, necklace, and bracelet holder.
Dying that she thinks that sign holder is a “phone amplifier” 😂 clearly someone has never worked retail.
😂 so funny!
Maybe that’s why she is dumpster diving and eating pizza out of the dumpster.🤦♀️😂
Ugh lol
Right? The she left the glass for it in the dumpster!! 😂😂😂
No need to be rude.
That wooden box can be cleaned, decorated for a wedding, Birthday party, etc. And used for gifts of envelopes with cash and/or gift cards. 😊😊
What about the fact that all of those bags are getting ripped open though? Seems to add to the loose trash problem.
Krystal Coyne unless it’s recycled plastic bags. It’s preferable to not put your trash in a bag. Most people use plastic bags to keep their trash cans clean.
I was just gonna say that...seems inconsiderate. I’ve seen sanitation workers having to pick up little bits of trash bc or ripped bags and loose trash and it seems very frustrating for them sometimes
All this is going to a land fill causing pollution.
Krystal Coyne that’s right. She should put it back properly when she found them
for god sakes please take your green comments to the moon no one cares.
Just watched your videos couple weeks ago when you only had over 3500 subscribers and now you’re at 12k - wow!!
put the candles in the freezer and they will pop right out.
Karen Collier yes every time , and the ones without the wicks you can cut them up and use them in burners .. I’d take the bath and body haul anytime haha love my candles from there , if you plan on selling the candles save the sticker on the front you can replace the wicks make little candles but me I cut them up and put them in a burner they will smell your whole house up so good . 😊
Crazy how people throw away good clothes and stuff like donate it y’all.
What's that tell ya about how spoiled we are 😒 I can't imagine throwing away such good clothes ..wow give it to homeless shelters
fixmeplate They literally are not aloud to. Like they have to destroy the clothes and throw them away.
I think that black “speaker box” is a sign holder for stores.
I love her T-shirt. 🤘
Yes. The glass that she set to the side was for it as well.
That is exactly what it is. The rest of the sign was in there as well.
Yep frame base
Thank you!
I would be having a heart attack doing this at the mall. I'd be so afraid of trespassing and getting arrested. What if???
Its legal as long as the dumpster is not locked or on private property. Here anyways.
I'm not worried about the open-air dumpsters, even the ones in enclaves. However, I'm thinking it can become a bit sticky when you open a door to a fully enclosed holding area. I felt like one of the groupings were inside. Nevermind, as a woman so early in the AM going into a fully enclosed area that has public access, yet no ability to call or get help. I'd stay away from that grouping if alone.
Helen Yellin agreed
It’s not trespassing if it’s on public property & if it’s discarded... it’s available to anyone who will have it. Legally you can sift through someone’s personal trash in a residential area as long as they placed it on the public sidewalk or curb away from their home. It’s legal. You just have to know your local laws & be confident & you could have them printed on hand in case you’re paranoid.
It's legal in most places to dive.
If you put the broken candles in the freezer the wax will contract and you can easily remove the broken container. Happy diving!
Omg i could feel the adrenalin rush😎🤗
Held my breath the whole time lol you're amazing 👏👍
I don’t see anything in the bins she went to that could be worth getting in trouble for.
lilbirtie72 credit documents and personal documents people don’t shred because they don’t think someone will be going through their fucking *garbage*
Mr ManHuman that stuff should be shredded. Ppl KNOW other ppl go through garbage. It's their retail workers who don't shred that are at fault. But it's their work so they don't care.
@@adamc3390 people should know that in this day and age...I mean there are shredders for a reason.IDENTITY THEFT!
The only issue with what she’s doing is some of the dumpsters are inside private property and fenced. But if the dumpster is not fenced and her local government doesn’t have any laws specifically against trash picking, it’s a national law that once an item is discarded,even if it’s on the edge of your property, it’s no longer yours, so it’s perfectly legal to take.
On some of her videos she have found expensive jewelry...never know what you will fine
I can’t believe you do this alone. Your so brave.
If it thrown away it’s fair game.
@@Carla-gg1ue Steal haha, from who? The landfill? It's certainly not stealing from these billion dollar companies, or stealing from ignorant people who would rather throw away their clothes vs donating.
The area she’s in is pretty safe.
Carla Mirti you should find a societal issue that deserves your righteousness like drunk driving, homelessness, advocate child welfare, start a church and sell your religion door to door. But bothering this chick for recycling is a waste of your time. 😊😊😊
The black circular thing looks like the base of a photo frame. You took the clear plastic top part out of the same bag. And the box with the slot is for wedding cards And money.>People are always looking for those on the local classifieds
Actually I think the box is a complaint or suggestion box. Used in churches, schools or businesses. But it could be used at a wedding. Paint it cute and decorate it
Totally. The black thing is the base of a sign holder. We used them all the time at Baby Gap. That plastic frame that was in the bag with it was the sign holder. It had a big crack in it, which is why it was tossed out.
Another dumpster diver here on youtube said she had sold designer boxes for good prices. Good luck to you.
Anne Mm I think your thinking of ebay mom she said the glass cases sell good for her on ebay
@@patty.moyers5348 Yes, Mom the Ebayer sells high end boxes and dust bags.
They sell on poshmark too I've seen them
People are willing to drop a little money on those when they can use them to cheat somebody else out of a lot more money.
bro you open everything even the bags that obviously look to be filled with garbage and paper, dont be so messy
lunchbox georg this bothered me so much... like all of that stuff is going to a landfill and then probably into a body of water because it’s not in the bag. It’s not that hard to be mindful of things like that ya know?
Dont be so messy? Seriously?
@@iliebivens3293 where does it go it IS in the bag?
I believe it all goes to landfill and that is why divers try to pull what they can.
It's going to the landfill Being tidy us not necessary. Lol
When you went in that dumpster it reminded me of Harry Potter and the Chamber of secrets, except your not Harry Potter and that's a dumpster.
Was she just sitting on top of the trash with shorts on 🥴
Xena G I’m wondering the same thing
Yes. My thoughts exactly
You’re channel is growing so fast, congrats!
Thank you so much!! It is such an unexpected surprise!!
Proud of you for hitting some high end stores! I was nervous for you...lol
The wooden box would be great for a wedding reception gift card box. strip it, paint it???
Do people not buy household items like tea sets as gifts anymore?.do couples want only money?
katrina farmer....only want money. we spent 12K on the wedding reception. $100 per person. Got 9K in cash. It went immediately to pay for the reception bill. A few people gave us pots/pans, power tools, frames, & textiles. Those immediately got donated because we had no need for them, and no room to store them. Cash only, except otherwise asked for.

@@Kimberly-wt1nu nice to get an honest answer.
katrina farmer when I got married in 2015, we registered for wedding gifts and sent out our registry. We still got majority of cash and checks in cards. I used a box very similar that still have til this day. We got about 7k we got and bought furniture for our new home after our wedding. Guess all weddings are different. Also if you didn’t want to use it for cards/cash you could use it for well wishes from the guests to the married couple😁
It would be so awkward getting caught
“Uhhhh watcha doin ma’am”
“Oh uh...I’m just....just dumpster diving”
“Oh...ok....uhh........finding......... anything....uh...good...I guess”
“Yea I found some broken candles”
“Oh......o..k....have....a good....day...”
This made me lol
😭😭😭😭😭😭
looking for boxes...
Why did you type a script of an imaginary encounter?
Mary Poppins...because I did lol
I use to work for Bath & Body works and their policy is to break any candles or cut up lotions and lipglosses before throwing them out for this exact reason lol. They throw away sooo many brand new items, but destroy them themselves first!
Bath and body works puts broken candles in those paper bags you can melt down the wax and make new candles
FYI - Make sure you take the metal tops to the Bath & Body Works candles. People sell just the lids online. Especially if they are decorative in any way.
Long time diver here..Get a dive stick..basically a cane, and put a small hook of sorts on end...then you dont have to climb in the dumpsters as much. Also..apartments have a lot of potential, but be wary of bedbugs.
Her: I don’t want to mess it up even more.
Also Her: ripping each bag of trash .
😂
It’s so sad to think that people throw away clothes when there are donation centers everywhere
If I’m going to be in a dumpster I better find something good. Not some broken candles and old boxes. 😂
If you want to be a little more stealthy, maybe we shouldn’t wear a red shirt next time. 😝 lol
bittercoldak did you go with her?? Lol
Mackenzie Costner 😝the red shirt was making me nervous! lol
bittercoldak I totally agree!
@@mackenziecostner1701 lol
I've worked in retail and it was mandatory for us to destroy all items going in the trash. ...cut pillows, slice shoes and clothing, anything breakable was put into a tote and banged around ...I didn't really understand this but I'm thinking it was to protect the store against ppl diving and trying to return merchandise with the excuse of losing the receipt ...just my guess
Same one retailer that I worked for forced us to break jewelry and throw it away including gold and silver jewelry I asked to keep it but the manager said no
It was TJMAXX by the way
What scares me is a big rat coming out, and jumping on you. Did you all see the rat traps behind the dumpster's?
The rat traps were probably for her ass.😣
Thanks for taking us with you! That was scary and FUN! Careful bringing home "soft" items that could be infested. People usually throw things away in bags when they contain bugs. Picking up hard items is a lot safer. You have better luck toward the end of the month when apartments are being vacated. What they don't take, they throw away. I used to clean apts, so I've seen nice things on the ground by dumpsters when tossing trash. Check ungated ritzy areas of town. Happy diving!!
this entire video just pissed me off don't know why it was in my suggested
isabella kaye maybe cause she’s grabbing cards and maybe peoples personal info 😅.🙄
isabella kaye pissed u off?? lol
@@alowha22 The cards have no personal information on them. They are like the gift cards you get at the checkout at Walmart. An amount only. Whoever has it can use it. It was thrown away.
So why did you watch the entire video and then comment? Issues
I can't stand the thought of doing this, good on you guys that want to, except, opening bags and possibly leaving rotten food spread about not good at all.
Especially doing it while wearing shorts, exposing her skin to glass and who knows what else that could scrape and cut her.. those gloves do nothing for protecting her really. 😬
LizaBee Ho
@@bettystellabott3481 idiot
Fun fact, Sephora usually destroys their stuff before throwing it away.
Not always.
Kylee Cadwallader so does Macy’s
No they don’t destroy they send them back to the vendors and they properly destroy and recycle them
Thats not fun lol
I told my dad about your videos. He was impressed with you making $200 + from dived finds! :)
How many people watching this would have taken the mannequin arm? 🙋♀️
🙋
I would have taken the arm and made a towel holder mounted on the wall!
Me 🙋
Meeeeeeeeeeee!!!!!!!!!
That would have been the first thing in the car!!!
I have one in the back window of my car just chillin 😂
I want to do this but I want someone to go with me 😭
Be brave but go at night I score best when the weather is cold or rainy and no one wants to be outside.
Mrs.S Chapman. I'll go with you. Where you from?
Bacnthaday43 at night? Wouldn't there be bugs?
@SMG its absolutly legal in most towns.Just have to call the city and they will tell.It is legal where I dive.
Dont do it
Oh my gosh! This bring back memories of when I was a little girl... I’m so glad I found your channel! My grandpa would take me but it was to get god the grocery stores threw out. It was all good food and he gave it to people that needed it. We went at night and got caught a few times! lol that was the good ol days!!
To get food **
Buy wicks and glass jars, then melt the candle wax and you have brand new candles!! Easy peasy 😉❤️
Can find BB&W candle jars at thrift stores, can melt wax and can burn a nice candle.
Just break it up and us it as tarts In a wax warmer,scents a room better than a candle.I burn tarts 24/7
sharon white yep! I see them all the time ☺️
I’ve always found these videos so interesting! Loved it 😊
At my apartment complex dumpster we have found a perfectly fine 55" flat screen smart TV, 32'' regular flat screen TV, awesome throw pillows in TJ Max bags like they had never been used and a perfectly good Dyson pet vacuum cleaner!! We always check out our apartment's dumpster daily for good finds. The best one being the 55 inch smart TV in a box for the new TV they had just purchased. It was crazy! All we did was go and buy a vizio universal remote and power cord...We paid $25 for a brand new smart TV!!
I live on a street with small 2 storey apartment buildings, only 8-10 units in each building. Whenever someone gets rid of furniture or working electronics, they always put them out front of their building instead of in the garbage or in their dumpster.
My daughter and I have scored a couple great things. Including a leather and fabric sectional couch that looked like it was brand new...there wasn't a mark or stain on it, no crumbs or anything between the cushions, no rips or stains. Before we brought it in, we checked every inch of it for bedbugs and other problems, and it was absolutely pristine. We couldn't believe that someone had thrown it out.
Girl same! People in apartment complexes don’t care and there was a couple who left a whole bedroom set by the dumpster including a dresser, bed, nightstand, i mean everything!
It's crazy the stuff people throw away here! Since staying here we have gotten a nice hardly ever used brown sectional couch, perfect condition kitchen table with chairs, a full size bed with frame and perfectly good mattress..looked like it had hardly ever been slept in and a nice metal shelf. We pretty much have furnished our apartment from the people in our apartment complex throwing away stuff. Very nice stuff too. In a two weeks time we went from just having an air mattress and fold out table to almost a complete furnished apartment! I'm not ashamed of it either!! lol
Sometimes people move and can’t take that stuff with them.. I had to throw away a mattress because I did not have a way to haul it when moving.🤷🏼♀️
That black puck thing we used when I worked at gap. It help out plastic signs:)
I was so nervous for you when you were at the mall.. Great Finds!!! I’ve watched another DD’ers here on TH-cam (Mom the Ebayer) & she would find Designer boxes & sell them on eBay. Good luck!!💞💞
Oh God, I love Mom the Ebayer and also StevenSteph resale killers 😊
Yes Mom the Ebayer. She knows some high dollar neighborhoods in Chicago. You would not believe the stuff she finds. Wish I could find out trash days on some high dollar neighborhoods.
I think it's so crazy what we throw away when there are so many people that are in need.
❤ You should not worry about whispering & being sneaky! For goodness sakes you are saving our planet! You ate one of my heroes!!!🎉
Greetings Kelly. I think you did really amazing with those treasures. Be safe,healthy &blessed always
