I was at my local Plato's Closet yesterday afternoon and the girls were taking clothing from the racks to the storeroom. I woke up about a few hours ago and went back out of curiosity. They tossed out 5 bags full of clothing and a box full of shoes. Nothing destroyed..some things with original tags. One bag has 3 Free People tunic tops. I would of went live because I want to make a channel on Dumpster Diving but I'm a bit nervous lol
You should definitely make a channel! You don't have to go live, just record and talk. If you're nervous just pretend like your friend is with you and you're just talking to them!
When You decide to share pictures/videos/Lives of Your $aved items; I’m sure I’m not the only Person that would like to see at least a photo. Oh; and I’ll be looking forward to Your LIVES
It really makes me angry that these companies would rather destroy items and throw them in a landfill instead of donate them to local shelters. There should be a law against this.
@@raleighmann3368Likely because they have investors and stockholders who have their money invested in making PROFITS. That’s why these employees have a job to begin with. They need to work and pay for what they get like everyone else.
Daisy -- I would like there to be a law that stores can't just throw out perfectly fine merchandise. They should be required to donate at least a percentage of it. I don't know why this idea makes you so upset, unless you LIKE waste.
Daisy dukes, They have all kinds of laws about what we can do with our property. For example I can't go into a school with a gun. I can't drive my car unless it's inspected. We can't throw away used batteries or medications. Ect.
It belongs to the company. Most decent people would not go into someone else’s dumpster to help themselves and then tell the company what to do with their garbage. I think the company should come go through your garbage and tell you what to do with it.
my local retirement homes love greeting cards and magazines as donations! residents use them for crafting :) just an idea if any of you are ever wondering what to do with excess cards!
That's a wonderful idea. Heck even some of her finds would be great gift donations for the holiday parties and such that residents have at nursing homes.
Hey ella ! New subscriber here. I absolutely love what you do , it breaks my heart that all the stores do this when so many people are in need . I really wanna dive in and see if I can find anything to donate ! I was also curious as to what state you live in , I live in New York so I'm not sure what the dumpster diving laws are here or if I can even find some goodies. Have a great day 💕
hey kiddo.. 👋 👋 👋 👋 👋 👋 👋 👋 👋 👋 you did great, I can't just pick one thing that is my favorite thing that you found. lol also, with the scraps of material from the dumpsters. maybe call Vfvs and places like that to see if they can use them or know of anyone that can, I know that someone VFWS will use those to make blankets and stuff out of them for our Vets and senior citizens 🤔. just a thought 🤔
Thank you for your upload video 📹 😊 I think 🤔 that it would be good if these stores were provided with recycling ♻️ clothing bins to put the clothes in. I understand the companies want to protect their brand but with sorting bind this could be helpful. Wish you would wear gloves kind lady xxx
Companies get tax write off deductibles so yes they. will intentionally damage or break items rather than give them away. You were fortunate to get only a few broken or damaged items.
I worked at a PetSmart and the reason these companies / their stuff is because if they don't they can't write it off as a LOSS. I mean sure would be wonderful if they donated it but it is better off for them to slice it and write it off as a loss then donating it. Let's just say I'm fortunate way it is
Hey! I am a new follower and I really enjoy your videos. Hate that so much is trashed, but glad you dive in full force! 😂 Curious to know if you sell any of these items or offer them to followers??
Just out of curiosity, why DON'T they donate these items? It's disgusting that some stores shred the clothes before throwing them out. Do they ever chase you away from the dumpsters when they see you?
Great findings again. Awww the Old Navy slicing the clothes, I have only twice found clothes there that wasn't slashed. I can't believe they'd pay employees to slice all that clothes, that takes time, they're paying them to do that on hourly wages, cray cray lol. Thanks for sharing, stay safe out there.
Whenever I see broken mugs I think, that would make a cute planter or somewhere to grow herbs in your kitchen windowsill. Sorry to see how much Old Navy is wasting considering there clothing is on the cheaper side. I don't understand why they shred when they write it off anyway. So wasteful!
Those items belong to them. If they were low enough to go through your dumpster-which is something most decent people wouldn’t do-maybe they should tell you what to do with your garbage, even though it belongs to you.
So much poverty around the world...homeless people .no shelter ...lost homes and families in floods...and this all could b treasure to them .but the high end brands seems that their policy makers have no heart . Extrmely sad to see
I live in kansas and they don't throw away anything, I have searched high and low, the only place I've had luck was a used book store. So, if anybody near joco kansas could tip me off, I'm so jealous, I'm living in the wrong place lol.
I believe the current tax code that gives them full reimbursement if they throw it away. If they donate it or give it away they either get nothing or far less.
Yesterday I saw an empty phone case box with Zara New York written on it I have never seen those before in New Zealand at the time I was visiting one of the clothing bins I often dive at the side of
@@daisydukes8252 it doesn’t belong to anyone when it’s in the trash. I work in waste management there’s soooo much that goes to waste unnecessarily. Have a fantastic day!
OK, why did they slash up the items in the trash? That's just not right. You should just leave them alone. Why did they do that? Could someone answer me that question please, because I'm new here.
I'm new to your page...so it's probably been said before....I just can't believe you're not wearing gloves of some description...okay I did saw you wear some in another video.....but I mean all the time....anyway it's out of my hands...pun intended...🌻
It TRULY is sad that some of these merchants would RATHER destroy a TWENTY pound bag of shoes n clothes than to just leave it and throw it away for people who dumpster dive lets say because they have no money to buy things with ESPECIALLY IN THIS DAY AND TIME.... SADLY RIDICULOUS!!!
If “these companies “ didn’t dump all these things, the TH-camr would not have the content. So catch 22 people. You wouldn’t be watching this video 🤷🏻♀️
I think we should make a girly group, whenever must go to trashed somewhere go ahead & work in team. If ever l come to your country 1 day wish to meet you

Never be afraid man!! I’d say just go for it & shoot it cuz you’ll never know until you try BUT I do wish you the best with going live one day!! 👍👍😁
Don’t be nervous just do it
When You decide to share pictures/videos/Lives of Your $aved items; I’m sure I’m not the only Person that would like to see at least a photo.
Oh; and I’ll be looking forward to Your LIVES
When you decide to do it tag me. I am obsessed with all things dumpster diving
It really makes me angry that these companies would rather destroy items and throw them in a landfill instead of donate them to local shelters. There should be a law against this.
Why can't they allow their employees 1st choice? ? They don't get paid much??
You want to make a “law” to tell people what to do with what they own??? What is WRONG with you?

Thank you saving all this stuff. It’s so heartbreaking these companies don’t once a month just drop off these items to charities or families in need
Agree 100%
It’s because they can write it all off and claim
It back tax or insurance reasons
@@deerheart87 if they give it to charity I thought they could claim it off tax. At least here in australia.
It belongs to the company. Most decent people would not go into someone else’s dumpster to help themselves and then tell the company what to do with their garbage. I think the company should come go through your garbage and tell you what to do with it.
It makes me furious that all these stores get away with filling our land fills with so much stuff. It’s disgraceful

Late reply, but diving is legal in your state.
We always go dumpster diving but don’t find much- what days do you go? Love your videos!
so sad about the old navy bag! the butterfly clips are cute though. maybe there's a local place that does textile recycling in your city? 🤷🏼♀
hey kiddo.. 👋 👋 👋 👋 👋 👋 👋 👋 👋 👋
you did great, I can't just pick one thing that is my favorite thing that you found. lol

Have you ever seen the side tables or planters made out of dresser draws …I wish I was more handy …
I just found your channel
I’m enjoying it!!!
Great to know that You know that torn clothing can be used for scraps/quilts, or stuffing…
Great $ave$
Yeah" with the Chipped tray just hot glue some artificial flowers or greenery around the chip"! Or anything that sparkles ✨.👍💜✨💜✨💜✨💜✨💜✨💜✨💜✨
Great 👍 finds. I hate when they tear stuff up from old navy where ever it so frustrating and wasteful!!
Do you use the makeup or skincare you find in the dumpster/trash??
Thank you for your upload video 📹 😊 I think 🤔 that it would be good if these stores were provided with recycling ♻️ clothing bins to put the clothes in. I understand the companies want to protect their brand but with sorting bind this could be helpful. Wish you would wear gloves kind lady xxx

Thank chipped mug would be very cool with a succulent in it covering the chipped area
There is something SERIOUSLY WRONG in America. WHY DONT THEY DONATE the stuff instead of shredding or breaking it? What a SICK practice and attitude
I worked at a PetSmart and the reason these companies / their stuff is because if they don't they can't write it off as a LOSS. I mean sure would be wonderful if they donated it but it is better off for them to slice it and write it off as a loss then donating it. Let's just say I'm fortunate way it is
The vampires is what I liked the most ! ❤❤❤
Damn someone at old navy rage sliced that stuff lol
Hey! I am a new follower and I really enjoy your videos. Hate that so much is trashed, but glad you dive in full force! 😂 Curious to know if you sell any of these items or offer them to followers??
I was wondering the same about the makeup
Oh-u want to help yourselves to some things she took out of a company’s dumpster? I wonder if the company knows about this? 🧐
Just out of curiosity, why DON'T they donate these items? It's disgusting that some stores shred the clothes before throwing them out. Do they ever chase you away from the dumpsters when they see you?
Nice haul, I miss diving
Great save hon at my old navy they do the same I barely go to look anymore 😔
Great findings again. Awww the Old Navy slicing the clothes, I have only twice found clothes there that wasn't slashed. I can't believe they'd pay employees to slice all that clothes, that takes time, they're paying them to do that on hourly wages, cray cray lol. Thanks for sharing, stay safe out there.
I know,I don't understand why they pay employees to shred, destroy cosmetics etc
Você é muito linda,
Não nos deixe por muito tempo sem seus vídeos 🥰
Eu sou do Brasil 🇧🇷
Best score this dive was for me... Desk Skeleton and pumpkin soap dispenser 😀
Whenever I see broken mugs I think, that would make a cute planter or somewhere to grow herbs in your kitchen windowsill. Sorry to see how much Old Navy is wasting considering there clothing is on the cheaper side. I don't understand why they shred when they write it off anyway. So wasteful!
What country are you?I always watching your dive..amazing
sence i watched one of your videos i have wanted to dumpster dive at ulta
Good luck 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻from Morocco 🇲🇦
I have a hate love relationship with Old Navy. I like some of their clothing but hate how they destroy things in the dumpster.
As an ON worker I agree 🥲
Same with VS
Those items belong to them. If they were low enough to go through your dumpster-which is something most decent people wouldn’t do-maybe they should tell you what to do with your garbage, even though it belongs to you.
Hi ella im one of your follower..im always watching your videos and i really enjoy...
They should be ashamed at old Navy! It makes me so angry when shops destroy their stuff!
What do you do with it all after you bring it home?
These videos make me want to dumpster dive lol
I'm absolutely APPALLED that they would CUT them...DISGUSTING!!
By far my favorite diver
So much poverty around the world...homeless people .no shelter ...lost homes and families in floods...and this all could b treasure to them .but the high end brands seems that their policy makers have no heart .

Some good finds
I believe the current tax code that gives them full reimbursement if they throw it away. If they donate it or give it away they either get nothing or far less.
I’m kind of disgusted with the waste of clothing at Old Navy.
It makes me so sick to think a store would cut up close, some people can’t even afford to go to a goodwill store to get Close. How wasteful.
Yesterday I saw an empty phone case box with Zara New York written on it I have never seen those before in New Zealand at the time I was visiting one of the clothing bins I often dive at the side of
Sandra ❤
Wow! Lot of good stuff.
I liked the Fourth of July shirts and rugs , shoes

Amo seus vídeos! Mas porquê não mostra TD em casa?? Mais detalhados os achados! Saudações do Brasil!!
New subscriber here from Philippines 😊

Its so hard for us to get some of this stuff and stores are just throwing them out😐
Nice good hits 👌
What are the pens and art acrylic paint that you got at Joann's I think you said?
i always watch your vedio
Hello
So sad how much stuff goes to landfills when it could be shared around.
Shared around? It doesn’t BELONG to you to share it around!
@@daisydukes8252 it doesn’t belong to anyone when it’s in the trash. I work in waste management there’s soooo much that goes to waste unnecessarily. Have a fantastic day!
Always someone that’s miserable that feels entitled to be an ass hole
The swatched eyeshadow at TJ Maxx are you selling,?
what they gain by doing that they do that here in rhode island too
OK, why did they slash up the items in the trash? That's just not right. You should just leave them alone. Why did they do that? Could someone answer me that question please, because I'm new here.
Hi I enjoy watching your videos 🙂❤️.
Wow first one on tonight
❤️❤️
Me again but do you wonder if Management is watching to make sure they destroy the items ..or if maybe they just enjoy doing it ???
Hi where are you at? Maybe you could send me some of what you got from the dumpsters. They are beautiful.
Thank you for video! Are you in Florida?
Oh I love make up can u give me pls😂😂😂😂
I'm new to your page...so it's probably been said before....I just can't believe you're not wearing gloves of some description...okay I did saw you wear some in another video.....but I mean all the time....anyway it's out of my hands...pun intended...🌻
Looks like someone is throwing them on purpose for their friends to pick up
I sometimes definitely think same
Why in the world would they just throw out a good comforter? They could have just donated it to the shelter or to homeless people. What a waste!
It TRULY is sad that some of these merchants would RATHER destroy a TWENTY pound bag of shoes n clothes than to just leave it and throw it away for people who dumpster dive lets say because they have no money to buy things with ESPECIALLY IN THIS DAY AND TIME.... SADLY RIDICULOUS!!!
Wow they should donate their clothes to homeless or goodwill not tear it up.
Why do American stores ruin the clothes here in Ireland most if not all donation to charities no need for all that waste
❤️❤️❤️🇧🇷🇧🇷
