- Hey y’all and welcome back to the channel! We went back out after unloading the truck and ended up finding SO much more in the college dumpsters. It really feels like it never ends!
As always, thank you so much for watching and I hope you have a wonderful day! Happy diving xoxo

You should have your garage sale in the fall right before the kids move back into the dorms!😄
I love this! Have a one stop spot for your brooms, caddies, everything!
Lol
Yeah, a "Come buy your stuff back" sale! 😂😂😂
Or local kids going to college!
👍
Every time I’m told to leave or somebody mentions being told, I can’t help but think of that baby that was found in a dumpster and saved by divers.
Also, of course the waste is ridiculous. Keep diving you inspire me to keep checking!
I love watching you kids dumpster dive I have not dumpster dive for five years I quit at age 70. I so enjoy your videos and your happy personalities are so infectious . 👍👍
Love what you guys do. Wish we had done it back in our days in college. Please just make sure the medications you’re salvaging aren’t past their expiry date.
Alex in the dumpsters is the best!!! Haha that white mask was too funny!
Our society is so weird. We should be more ashamed of adding to the dumpster than taking anything out of it. Such a shame Kelly & Alex even have to think twice about the laws or others views of them. Also a shame dumpster diving is associated with making a mess when most divers I know (or see on YT) are cleaning up while they go. Keep up the good work guys ❤
I posted once about diving on my personal facebook page and had about 3 people comment about it being gross etc. I love going and seeing what I get and what I found that's useful, and I save a lot of money on groceries too. It gives me a thrill but also makes me sad and angry to see how much gets thrown away. I just read a book called "Secondhand" by Alex Minter, and even a lot that people try to give away and sell eventually gets thrown away.
Thank you so much for the tip on author Alex Minter. I was very interested in his stance regarding the manufacturing of QUALITY goods.
“ to promote initiatives to boost product longevity and repairability.”
@@dennycorsa5760 just looked into purchasing this book, used, of course, and I think the author's first name is Adam. Thanks for hooking me up, though.
@@kathyf5549 It is - I'm sorry, I must've been distracted.
@@calibean7736 I hope you read and enjoy the book! As kathyf5549 noted below, it's actually Adam Minter. He wrote two books, but I haven't read the other yet.
Kelly and Alex!!! Thanks for taking us along!!! I appreciate you both so much!!! So much saved !!! Stay safe stay great and keep up the good work!!!!
Well Alex adds a little humor in diving, you two are so cute and fun!
I get such a kick out of watching you both find treasures in the dumpsters. This time I was yelling pick up the toaster! 😊
I was yelling, too, about the toasters. I saw 2 toasters, and they didn't even pick them up. I suppose they are pretty dirty, and they don't want to take the time to clean them up. And I get that, too.
Same! I was like the toastersss lol
It is such a pleasure to watch when Kelly finds something, she is like a kid in a candy shop, so excited. Keep moving on guys 😊
I just may be in a bad head space today, but seeing all that stuff the kids throw in the trash makes me mad! If they had to work and pay for things their self, they wouldn't be doing that. These are are our leaders of tomorrow? Gee, we are so doomed. Thank you Kelly and Alex for trying to save the earth!!!!❤
I think they just don't understand the cost of things yet as most will be living of their parents and possibly have bought to much stuff while away from 'home' that they can't travel back with it all for example the cleaning stuff and pillows most will have back home X
I feel that you could use antiseptic wipes after climbing into the dumpsters. Especially after you've put the mask on your face! Protect your skin.
For most of them driving or taking a train, plane or bus home. The cost of boxing and shipping these items home would be very expensive. They need to have a weekend where the kids can bring out things to give away to the public. Like a free yard sale.
Again I think we need to realize that a lot of these kids that are leaving the dorm have no way to get this stuff home because they fly home and they don't travel by car. You need to realize they may not have a choice😊
@@candilumpkin1196 you are so right about that, you probably noticed the size of that cardboard box they moved a couple of times, well, my ex sent a leather sculpture of a mother and child that we had bought in Santa Barbara 30 years ago to my son in Washington,
(Pardon the run on sentence, please) when my son was packing up stuff to move back to Texas he asked if I wanted it, I said ok if you have room for it. Well, he shipped it to me via UPS, the sculpture itself may have weighed a pound, but the size of the box was very large, about the size of that large one in the dumpster. It cost $82.00 to ship it. 82. I couldn’t be angry at my son, as much of the packing, cleaning, donating was left up to him and he wasn’t feeling up to par. Turns out that he has leukemia…that’s why he was feeling unwell. Just recently I gave that sculpture to a neighbor that thought it was beautiful. I think that Kelley and Alex do a superb
job of saving stuff from the landfill and making a little money on the side. Also, it’s not just college aged kids that waste things, most adults do too to varying degrees….I’m guilty as heck about starting science projects in my vegetable bin.
I hope after you have your big garage so you can do another blog on you camping that was one of my favorites. Thanks for all you guys do and saving all of this stuff from the landfills you do such an amazing job with such a great attitude love watching you both😊
Love when you dive together. He gets in there and looks for all the hidden treasures! 😊
Love when Alex gets in the dumpster
So enjoy watching you work so well together Dumpster Diving! And having FUN! Wow! Amazing see what college students throw away. Geez. Thank you for saving all your effort in saving perfectly good stuff from land fill! Carry on with what your doing to help save items from land fill! I respect you guys! ❤
Thank you Kelly and Alex. So many usable items that would just be in the landfill if it was not for you. Keep up the good work.
i’m always shocked that people throw so much away 😢
Loving to see Alex IN the dumpsters ✌️
I agree. I've followed you when Alex started to dive with you and i felt he was so cautious. Love he gets right in and has fun.
Me too
Alex is very good at finding stuff & retrieving stuff
y
Isn't it so fun and unbelievable to dive at the college, we live a few blocks from a big college here in Iowa , we don't have a vehicle so we walk down and haul back everything, we end up with so much crap that this year I put a limit on what we can bring home, my favorite is the rugs and containersand course the bedding. But it's funny to watch that you guys find almost exactly everything we do. We have alot of nieces and nephews that always are needing stuff so it leaves as soon as it's cleaned.
I got tired and sleepy. Just watching you guys. That's a major workout. Lots of great stuff. I love that rug that he just threw into the garage. The black and white one super cool. Take a nappy nap. 🙂
It's amazing to see the careless waste .I'm glad you donate some of the stuff you get, to people who need it. I agree with you 💯 that collages should have donate bins along with the regular trash bins.
My neighbors call the city on me if I miss cutting my grass every two weeks. You guys are lucky.
I hope that all the money you make from this garage so you're going to have that you could do another camping blog. That was one of my favorite blogs.😊
You guys made my day already 😍❤️ I love seeing your videos
You two have saved so much from the dumpsters, it is amazing how much you have already. You both have worked so hard during college move out.
Can't wait to see how the garage sale goes ❤
I Love watching your Campus dives they are fascinating :)
Watch about getting a ticket for parking in fire zone
Alex is really getting into dumpster diving. He has come a long ways since he first started with you. U guys are amazing saving what you can.
The closet things that hang over the door make great planters go herbs or strawberries. So even the dirty ones are great to take.
It would be funny if you had a yard sale of just garbage cans, cleaning caddy’s, storage towers/drawers and mirrors!
It's a shame people are throwing things all over the ground. Nice stuff in the dumpsters!
It's a throw away society. I'm glad these two rescue some really nice things.
So sad if that trash on the ground was from other divers really makes it hard for the good guys, thanks for saving so much can’t wait for your sale😊👍
Stuff is not cheap.Yall saved so much reusable stuff.Great finds Thanks for tagging me along.🙂
Thanks for taking us along with you.❤ 34:38
Hey, you can spray some Lysol on the foam pads and give to the homeless. As well as sheet sets, and many of those blankets.
Love how you shared the full circle of dd from collecting to washing in your rescued W/D. Wow, the pile is growing!
Kelly and Alex!! It is awesome the work you do to stop these things going into landfill!! You two are so inspirational, love you both. Toni from Australia.
Inspired by your videos, I called Northwestern University's Campus Security and asked them about diving. They too said it was okay as long as we don't leave a mess But that if they see us diving and there IS a mess around the dumpster, even though we didn't do it, they would still kick us out. That's because there's no way of telling whether the mess was there before we got there or not. Well, not unless they go back to the office and check the closed circuit TV tapes anyway, but they wouldn't have time for that and it's not their primary responsibility. I think maybe I'll bring a shovel and a push broom with us when we go and we'll clean up the area around the dumpster before we dive. Nothwestern University is full of some very rich kids and I'm pretty sure those dives are going to be VERY interesting. Thanks for the inspiration! PEACE
At the second dumpster you left as feeling awkward, there was some really nice clean bedding (including a duvet) and bagged up cushions.
It's sad to see how much good stuff ends up in the landfill when it could easily be donated. I'm glad to see you guys rescuing some of it.
You both are very much appreciated. Keep doing what you are doing, I don't want my great grandkids living in unfit environment due to excessive trash that could have been put to use like in crafting. You never know what crafters can refurbish.
Love the regular uploads so fun!
There are so many people that need clothing, electronics, kitchen items, linens and canned foods. Dumpster diving is practical for society.
And to have two angels making it happen is just having icing on the cake, right?
Those rolling desks are perfect for TV trays!
I wonder if those foam toppers and sheets could be donated to a homeless shelter or group that provides them to the homeless?
My mom is from Odessa and she has always said, there's nothing like a West Texas sunset!
That's very true. They are beautiful sunsets in West Texas.
@@sandiekaye5241 your name is Sandie Kaye!?! My mom is Sandra Kay!!! How weird! Lol.....
That orange Keriug is so cool. I never seen it that color someone will love that for apt. That teady bear reminds me of like the Soap flowers you can for when you take a bath.
Those feather wall decor pieces were actually cute and would have sold at a yard sale for sure
Of course
I know you have probably have done this those foam mattress could have been donated to the shelter for the fur babies
Finding all of this usable stuff is great, so long as it doesn't start to get out of control and drag you two down!!Take care everyone! Peace...💜💙💜
WOW!!!Love watching you both. Alex is turning into am awesome dumpster diver. Cause the way he jumps in a dumpster proves he takes it serious. I really wish i lived closer to you so i could come n buy alot of stuff. I love rugs n pillows n would buy everyone on them. You can take rugs to a car wash n clean them but most if them still look brand new. Love Love the videos!!!😊😊😊😊
You guys are awesome! You are keeping so much more out of landfills. keep it up.
This gal is so kind friendly down to earth pure and thoughtful, you'd be forgiven for thinking she's Australian lol, she's SUPER CUTE 💜😇
Makes me I’ll what is thrown away, could have loved that one time in my life, thanks for what you both do ❤️❤️👍
I am so happy to see you both get terrific items. So cool to reuse. And repurpose keep on diving. Pa
You guys are going to have an awesome sale! Great job guys!
You are the best! So happy that your husband is joining you for protection… you are saving the planet!
I love dumpster’s because there all different colors 😁❤️
You guys are great! I would love to go dumpster diving with you guys! You guys are a blast! I wish I lived close to a university! There is so much great stuff! Love your videos, I look for them every day! Take care you guys!
Have you ever thought of asking the campus if you could hand out flyers to students just before move out with a list of items you save so they can call you to pick up direct?
Those fluffy wall hangings were the koolest thing u found there. U need a better eye for what sells. Anything unique like that sells. Even if u put it on ur curb it would be taken immediately. Unique finds sell faster then typical items.
You should invest in a portable generator to have with you when you DD. You can test the electronic things you find to see if they work or not. That way you don’t have to take anything home that doesn’t work. Something like the Jackery.
Alex is funny, you guys are the best people.
Thrift stores should have donation days to collect usable items and then before school begins in the fall and set up a resale place.
All that bedding would be great to sell at a yard sale. The blankets can go in a big trash bag and use the vacuum cleaner to suck out the air and put a rubber band on it and store it till winter. You can make a bunch of money off blankets at a yard sale! I know I did!
It's crazy how much good stuff students throw away. Love the saves !
That white shelving at the beginning of the video is Ikea Kallax. Great stuff for storing records, books, etc.
The person who scraps should be there as well. He could find some stuff as well. The amount of perfectly good stuff the college students throw away is crazy!
I cant wait to see the garage sale day!!!
Omg, you've filled a 2 car garage...and then some. I'm amazed at just how much is going to the landfill. I hope you make ooodles of cash for all your hard work ! I can't wait to see this garage sale ! It's going to be huge !
It's always good to talk to the people around you and let them know that you're not there to trash up the place. Happy diving love your videos
Woah boy! Alex, I have always noticed that you have a way with words in your quips with Kelly, but I didn’t know the extent of it! I just watched your poem channel and oh MY! Alex, you have something to say and you should be saying it! (Although I will say that your long hair added to the image…)
Oh dhuo.. just checked out your blog channel. Ok, maybe you are saying it…!!! I need to get out more! But Alex, you are a natural writer.
That white bag with pockets are great for gardening or scrapbooking.
That mini fridge was worth taking. Nearby landlords for students would love those for their renters.
I only check one dumpster. Someone threw out a set of sheets and towels. The worst I'll use for rags, the rest go to the animal shelter. There's lots of
college kids who fly home. Tina, Al's wife
Bones would've loved the white round feather things 😆 take care and stay safe love watching from Australia ❤️🇦🇺
The bear you found today with the roses on it cost a lot of money. They usually sell it online doing Christmas and Valentine's Day. I enjoy you and your husband so much on TH-cam.
I would be in HEAVEN if I had your storage containers
That "weird pillow" (the plain blue one) was a hospital pillow 😂😂 I've been a nurse for 14 years so I've seen a lot of them.
You have your videos to prove you are not the ones making the mess, and you actually clean up other peoples messes! God bless you guys!! Love your videos!!
The little red flower bear is made out of polystyrene and the flowers are hot glue gun on , my daughter makes and sells them here in England 🏴
Hi Kelly and Alex. I love all the hard work that the two of you do. The prescription drugs should never end up in our landfills. They can be turned over to CVS pharmacy and the will dispose of them,properly. I had a bunch from my mother and sister and the hospice nurse told me what to do with them. I was so relieved to find this out. Keep up the good work you two. Hugs Betty
Kelly usually donates most of the over the counter medication she finds to a little free pantry in her local area. She also gives some to her friends and family so that it does not just go to waste. The school shouldn’t be throwing out prescriptions they can get huge fines for that.
Yay top 245 comments. Love this channel. Best to you and your family.
You guys are AMAZING! I can not wait to watch the yard sale wish I didn't live sp far I would be right there the day of !! Happy Memorial Day be safe & have fun 💖💖
Awesome rescue from the dumpsters
They sell those rose bears a😮t Kroger in the floral dept. $24:99
I enjoy your fun energy.
Yea🎉 ok , my request is that you park the truck bed towards the dumpsters in case ya have to hurry or toss something in & it’s easy out 😅arrange later. Back in the day I was at a dumpster that was a mess to begin with but WHAT A SCORE I still remember & lucked out as I was cleaning so rapidly I turned around the police had rolled up and all I could say was what a mess I’m almost done 😂& we just saluted and went on.
15:19 I've done something like that. I have a new shed to put my Ebay items in one place. All the stock was from the dumpster, including the shelving, drawer unit, table, chair and all the decorations I put up.
PS: I LOVE those 70's style cushions and that adorable plush fox.
❤ happy sunday 😊
Hi, I enjoy ALL your videos. Great to save so much stuff from the landfills. Keep safe out there and keep the videos coming.
I would have approached them and told them you are not litter bugs that you help clean up wherever you can when dumpster diving and you create more space in the dumpsters, so I just thought we would introduce ourselves. Said with a smile, what can they do but be respectful back and if they are rude, you have lost nothing!
i live in Scotland and LOVE watching your College dives.
Do your neighbors ever have an issue with all that stuff piled outside? Mine would report me in a minute.
I was wondering if you happened to have someone coming up and helping themselves when you were away or at night while you 2 were sleeping.
@@karenlaplante2565
I don’t think I can watch these videos anymore. I’m so sad at how young people are so flippant about the environment. The wage is just depressing and disgusting. They have the nerve to blame older generations and this is how they’re behaving.
I know it's hard to see all the stuff they throw away but you need to understand a lot of them fly home and don't have transportation to be able to haul a lot of this stuff home that's why it gets thrown out at least we have people like this that rescue it. That doesn't mean that our younger generation has issues by any means this is just a small majority of kids this doesn't reflect on all of our younger generation. And this coupled it's saving all of the stuff from the landfill is also part of the younger generation and look at the good job they're doing😊
@@SandraRamirez-og7gf They can donate! No need to throw out.
It saddens me to see all this thrown away as well! Think about all the newbie’s coming in who could use this stuff. If these kids had to pay for any of this they’d think twice about tossing it like that! Surely with all the brains on campus someone could come up with a better plan for making use of this stuff! It’s simply a no brainer, this is just sinful,whether they fly home or drive home, figure it out! Remember your children will have to grow up in the world you’re creating… 🤔
My so goes to college this year and I think I’m going to dive for his dorm
I would of wanted those little feather flower things. And for the pink chair that is a great find. I would have grabbed it, some people dont use the arm things. So cute
Collage move-out, who would’ve known! Wow! Thanks for sharing your experiences and tips and tricks to finding good stuff.
The Laundry Pods containers can be used as used medical needles containers, once full of needles you duck tape the lid to the container and write on it DO NOT RECYCLE then throw it away
Dont do that.its dangerous. Dispose of them safely in a medical disposal container
@Brid Feeney I was told as long as the plastic container is heavier material its okay to do so. Some of us on fixed incomes can't afford those sharps containers, and insurance won't always pay.
Alex an Kelly happy diving hope you both find lots of items from going to the landfill an you can rehome all the items you all find,good luck guys.
Hope you got the mini fridge at 7:18, they are always good for dirty $100 bill, more for ones with separate freezer compartment.
