- Hi y'all! Isn't the china pearl set beautiful?? All those pastel cups and plates are just lovely - I'm so happy they didn't all break when thrown into the dumpster. We also found holiday decor, bean bags, clothing, food, and lots more today. It felt like people were moving out even though it is the middle of the month!
BTW.. the Hawaiian shortbread cookies we found are *delicious*!! I am going to have to buy them now because, oh man they were tasty!
As always, thank you so much for watching and I hope you have a wonderful day! Happy diving xoxo

Hi friends! This was such a great dive - we started at retail but quickly move over to some apartment dumpsters and I'm so glad we did. The pearl china plate set is beautiful - I'm really happy it didn't break in the trash before we got to it! I hope you are all having a wonderful day!! Thank you so much for watching :D
That Walmart bag supposed to clip to the çart
When are y’all having the garage sale?
The rubber thing is for your shoes at the door and the metal bar thing go in the bottom of your sink
The two roll up metal things u put over your sink to dry dishes
@@lisaparr3606 or like pet tray idk
The black tray is a boot tray for your entryway. Or you can use it under the pets water and food bowl to prevent a mess ...the metal thing is a over the sink dish drying rack
Yep!
Useful in snow area so snow doesn't melt onto the floor. Understand why you had no idea what it was. Lol
Came to let em know about the tray too. I have 2, one for our shoes, one for pet dishes. They def come in handy.
Haha yup! I have two. Great in snowy weather but rain and mud too!
Also great for under indoor plants just in case it’s been overwatered.
The black tray is for pet food bowls to keep water/food from spilling all over the floor. It can also be used for muddy/wet shoes or boots at the front door. The rolling metal bars go over the top of your sink so you can use it as a counter or as a drying rack directly over the sink.
It’s for shoes next to your door inside. I have one.
It’s a boot mat they sell them at Walmart
Oh and yes the sink dryer. I use one in my Rv it helps with more flat space I put my wood cutting board on it. Hopefully they read the comments and learn all about these funny looking things.
The metal rods connect by rubber are for spanning over your sink to dry dishes on. I have one and love it.
Beat me to it, yesss! ❤
I've been wanting one too and they find *two!* They're great!!
I am so amazed how you and Alex can work together as a united and loving couple. I am addicted to watching your enthusiasm and your commitment to help others with food and clothing. I am now 64 years old but the soul of a 45-year-old and am ambitious to try and do this. I live in a small town, but there is so many homeless people here that live on the riverbank woods and this town could care less about them. They wander the streets here looking in people's trash for food and clothing all the time. I am inspired to try and help them. Thank you for the encouragement and making people aware of the waste these giant retail stores do instead of donating, and the way we waste and not donate!.
GBY 🙏🙌🙏
Looks like you lucked out on someone's moving day! Leaving beer & ice cream, cleaning supplies, etc. Way to go!!
These are racks that go over your sink to use as a drying rack. I stack my dishes there as I rinse them before loading up the dishwasher. I also will soak a pot in the sink, then lay the rack down, and soak another pot (for holidays), or just soak a pot in the sink, underneath the rack, while I stack the rinsed dishes & load them into the dishwasher. It's very handy for large families like mine (we currently have eight living at home). 17:02
Score on the melon liqueur too! 17:28
Love that plank of wood! Your husband has a great eye for things too!
The reusable Walmart bag is designed to hook over your cart as you’re shopping. It should fit the carts at WM at least! Great dive! Sending you tons of dumpster luck from a fellow diver in Alaska! 💙🦋💙
Yes. Very useful but that one looks like it is missing one of the bars.
Just wanted to drop in with a helpful hint...when my hubby and I find items such as furniture, large rugs or bean bags and their extra dirty we go to the car wash and use the suds brush and high power washer then set them in the hot sun to dry out. Oh and almost forgot to mention my idea lol that beautiful piece of raw edged wood would have looked awesome setting on those pedestals you found awhile back for plants~Starla
I don’t know if you have heard about foster kiddos who have to move all of their belongings in black trash bags. Family services in my area accepts luggage items so the kiddos don’t have to use garbage bags. I just wanted to let you know in case you want to start donating your travel luggage finds to the kiddos who are probably dealing with the worst day in their lives. You two are amazing and I click your videos as soon as you upload a new one! Be blessed! 🦋
❤❤❤
I thought of you guys today. My brother, sister-in-law and I had to clear out my oldest brother's room (in a boarding house) as he died last week. There was SO MUCH we wanted to donate and curb, but everything was super filthy and there was a serious threat of bed bug contamination. Also the landlord didn't want a curb pile that would attract people (not a good part of town). It was just a single room, but packed to the gills with good quality, usable stuff. I live an hour away, so was able to salvage a car-full that I feel I can sanitize/decontaminate. But it was very sad and the waste bothered us so much. Most of it was lost to the landfill. It was such an eye-opener to have my affairs in order for when that time comes, to reduce clutter, and keep everything super clean. ☹
sometime you can put stuff next to clothing bins a lot of people will look through them to see what they can save
Bed bugs live in vacumns be cautious 😊
I’m sorry for your loss. We call the process of clearing out and gifting possessions ,” Swedish Death Cleaning”. It’s about facing the inevitable while enjoying life to the fullest. You can finds videos and books about it.
So sad to learn your brother passed away! I hope you have good memories of him to ease your pain. ❤
@@wisegirlways4040 next to What clothing bins are your referring to?
Come on PEOPLE SHARE the video lets get her too 500K
the green rullelr thing is a healing cutting board for quilting, you can cut fabric and paper oni t, and the cutting board heals itself from the cuts and stays nice. it would come in handy for your shipping for measuring things for the right container.
It would also come in handy for Alex's sewing projects as he likes to mend and reconstruct T-shirts, sweatshirts, etc...
i love bones, my two cats are black, one3 short haired and one very long haired, in fact we say Gulliver wears chaps, because the hair on his hips and legs is super long so he looks like his bottom is fat, but he is very slim and healthy.
i quickly grabbed something I could reach out of a waolgreens dumpster the other day. it was one of their make up units, the shelves in clear plastic qwith all of the sections. I have it filled with my bias tape and rick rack and stuff for sewing and quilting, There were so many that will go into the land fill and never decompose they will rust and break and just sit there for thousands of years, it is so upsetting at times.
In college one of the people I knew took the liquor boxes and put that on the walls of their garage. It made a pretty cool “wallpaper” looking 👀 quilt like design. Because of all the metallic details!!! Just a thought…you could even do just one wall!!!
That piece of wood someone probably would have bought that at your garage sale.
The silver bar rolling mesh things are to use over your sink to allow you to dry dishes.
These are racks that go over your sink to use as a drying rack. I stack my dishes there as I rinse them before loading up the dishwasher. I also will soak a pot in the sink below, then lay the rack down, and soak another pot (during holidays), or just soak a pot in the sink, underneath the rack, while I stack the rinsed dishes & load them into the dishwasher. It's very handy for large families like mine (we currently have eight living at home), or for someone that doesn't have much counter space. You can lay down clean pots, pans & dishes/glasses to try as well.
Love that plank of wood! Your husband has a great eye for things too!
Fun IDEA 💡- If it wouldn’t make you uncomfortable, it’d be fun for you to do a home walkthrough in your house to show all of the things you have that have come from dumpsters!! ❤
I am fairly sure the chairs, end table, throw covers and lamp came from the dumpsters that was in their entry way at the end of the video when she showed bones by the 2 doors.

The black tray thing is for your shoes, it can also be used to put dog bowls on so the water won't get all over the floor when they drink it out of their bowl
That slab of wood would be a Cool shelf for Bones to walk or sleep on, by securing it to the wall with brackets. A pretty slab like that, in that size sells for about fifty bucks in these parts. Nice shelf for plants too.
The black thing is for boots, and the roll up stuff is for sink to put dishes on ❤
OMG NOOOO! I can’t believe you left that beautiful piece of wood in the dumpster. My heart is broken. So many people could have used it. 😢
31:44 A Penny saved is a penny earned! 😂
Hi Kelly, Alex, & sweet Bones 🖤 Amazing haul!! I can't believe that y'all got almost all of that stuff out of one dumpster!! I have 3 plates from that same set!! My brother had the set when he was married the first time in the 90s. He gave it to my Mom & over the years & grandkids, etc later- all that was left of it was three plates. I keep them cause my brother & my Mom are both gone now & it reminds me of some good family times ❤️ That's why I love watching your channel- you never know what y'all will come up with!! Take care!! 😊
@breafkast, thank you so much to you and Alex for recognizing the Narcan and saving it. It can really be a case of life vs death. Thank you for putting it in a place it can be put to use. It made me teary as too many people die of overdoes.
I didn't notice this scene. When was that in the video?
@@julien2912 This is from 6 days ago. I'm sorry, but I don't remember exactly where in the video they talked about it and showed it. It's in a white and yellow box. You can see it in the video at the end when they show their haul.
@@SweetlyBroken78 OK. I watched again. It was at 31:20. You could hardly hear what they said it was but I did hear Alex say Narcan. Strange that it was thrown away.
The black thing is a boot tray for dirty shoes/boots when you come in the house. Real nice if you come in after rain or snow so the mess doesn't get all over the floor. The two things that roll up are maybe sushi rolling mats if I had to guess.
Pro hiker tip freeze your water bottle with the water in it before you go hiking the night before you'll always have cold water and a cold container that you can put against your neck to Stave heat exhaustion🎉
but don't fill it completely full or put the lid on it or it will crack like my first Nalgene bottle did :(
Oh my goodness! I found your channel recently and love it! I cannot believe what people throw away and the question that always comes to my mind is "why not donate?" it's just so unbelievable! It's absolutely amazing and so great that you two spend the time and energy to save the items so they don't go to the landfill! That is just awesome! I want to thank you personally, what you are doing is so wonderful! ❤💙
Kelli the black rubber pan that you picked up at the microwave is a boot or shoe tray. You put it by your door to take wet or muddy shoes off. That why the water or mud doesn't go all over your floors. Or you could use it to put your pet bowls on so the furbabies don't get food or water in the floor.
The black rubber thing is for your muddy boots/shoes and could be used under pet bowls. The roll up metal things are rolling drain boards for your sink. Great haul!
I live in an apartment complex for older adults.
Frequently, I am saddened to find a dumpster full of usable items when I take my trash out.
Most family members do a great job of removing the items from an apartment ....even offering items for free to other residents when a resident dies or goes to a care home....but some just dump!
So sad.
Great finds today!
If you're selling that lazy susan I would like to buy it.
Stay safe and happy diving!
Have a blessed day!
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!!!
The blue walmart bag is one that hooks onto the shopping cart to hold your groceries, then you can just lift it out and put it in your car. They are nice to have. Its fun to watch you guys find all the goodies. Lol
Wow guys,this was an insane amount of great stuff! I hope the vacuum cleaners,the printer and the microwave work!🙏🏻🤞🏻🥰
Hi Alex and Kelly. Love to watch you two. You guys are truly a match made in Heaven. You're so cute and fun together. And hey Kelly, I have a pair of the sunglasses just like the ones you are wearing. Cool. God bless you both.♥️🌹💙
Those dishes are giving golden girls and I’m here for it
Unbelievable how many useful things are thrown away vs donated.
That tree board would have a great shelf after a couple layers of clear coating
Those rolled up metal things might work as bottom grids for a kitchen sink, or as dish racks over a sink (if they fit). You can also use them as funky outdoor place mats and trivets.
Real good cleaning of those vacuums they should work, every place clean 👌
Hi, I went to Senior Day at Goodwill. I got a few things and ran into a friend. It amazes me what people toss. Tina, Al's wife
That melon liquor was probably amazing! Fruit liquors are super tasty. U just pour a little bit. Intense flavor. I would have loved that one! Yum!
You two are the best!
Thank you for being here! ❤
Wow ! Awesome haul ....gorgeous set of china ...great work y'all !
Nice haul.
Kelly , they are drying racks that you roll out to lay over your sink. I use mine in our RV and lay my cutting board on it and it gives me more working space for cooking. The blown glass figurines are beautiful, it’s a real shame they ended up in the dumpster. Great find on the china set. The crafting and holiday supply sells good on Mercari. And the black rubber tray is a boot or shoe tray to set by your door. So dirty boots and shoes can be left outside.
Luv how u r both so excited & delighted by every item u find
A good day for you both today, some brilliant items especially the China Set and the Christmas stuff.. Love watching you both ❤
The little metal bars with rubber go on the sink as a dish drainer
Hey guys enjoy watching you and your husband dumpster diving make a great team
Those set and cups and plates r so beautiful!
They really are!! I'm so happy they weren't all broken!
@@breafkast yeah! That was luck that they didnt break
Hello friend, the metal rubbe roll up can be used in oven, on counter or as cooling racks for food. Got mine from QVC. The black tray can be used for plants, shoes, pet tray, etc. Have one of those too for my plants. I t keeps the water contained. I seldom comment but thought I would check in and say hi again. Keep the videos coming! Still can't believe what you find. I had to stop diving because I accumulated too much stuff and I couldn't get rid of it or sell it. Thanks!
I've watched other divers and it'd be easier for you guys if you took the top trash, boxes etc and set them on the ground and then put them back in dumpster when finished. It'll give you much more access to the good stuff.
I love your videos!! ♥️
Love the haul and being from Canada, the black tray that you have the smoke detector sitting on is called a boot or shoe tray. This is where we put our boots after coming in from all the snow that we get here in London, Ontario, Canada. We don't get as much as some parts of Canada get's, but we still get our fare share lol. Have yourselves a great day, evening!!
Curious as to why you don’t empty the vacuum cleaners at the dumpster?
Man! You can see your husband is really good at lifting things 💪🏼 and you are spot on with your woman instincts to spotting the good stuff! You two work in tandem perfectly, communicating with each other 🙌🏼🙌🏼🙌🏼 Great job! The heat, yes! The Healthy American just dropped a video with Deborah Taveres - talking about why even 85 degrees has been hard to bare. Just thought to mention. I just saw the video today. Much love to you guys. Say hello to bones for us! I love seeing him in your videos.
So sweet to see you both dive on. Breakfast ❤😊🌹🌷🌸🌻
The stainless steel looking grids over the sink drying
That black flat piece of plastic is for shoes. 🥴🤭🥰
Amazing haul! If you don’t think the coffee is drinkable, you can use it for fertiliser in the garden. I love watching your videos and I love bones 🐈⬛
Hello Kelly and Alex, I enjoy watching your interactions, it’s so beautiful to watch a loving couple who clearly enjoy each other’s presence. Give Bones a hug from us. Keep being amazing!
The board looks like a slice of cedar. Could even cut some small chunks to put in closets and drawers to repel moths and make the contents smell fresh!
The flat black thing you said was for a mechanic shop is actually for boots or dirty shoes for an entryway or mudroom. The steal grid like thing that Alex thought was for a grill is actually a trivet for hot pots or pans so you don't mess up your counter tops.
everytime i watch your vlog together, i can tell that dumpster diving is your best bonding...stay happy.
Phew, i was slightly concerned there that Bones would not be putting in an appearance!! Great finds well done!
That green mat is for sewing. Cut things on it like fabric, ribbon, etc. good finds
great haul and you both saved so much stuff from the landfill; i would have taken that piece of wood and will always take good clean wood when I find it; it costs so much; I've picked some up from curbside trash for a future greenhouse and raised plant beds and people are always asking about it and I just say no, I'm using that. It costs so much bought new. That looked like a good piece of cedar, could buy some legs at hobby lobby or Home Depot and make a behind-the-couch or entrance table or cut in half for side/end tables. That china was a great catch too and it would have been such a waste if it had gone to the landfill.
I love that pastel china. I was a teen in the 90s and we had a lot of similar colours in our kitchen. I would definitely buy that pattern of china. Cute as heck
Great haul!
I can't believe you left the bottle of Midori!
It’s for grocery cart/ I would empty the vacuum tubs before taking it home
wow so much goodies
Great finds. So glad you are continuing to do well. Love watching you both. Happy diving. 😊
That was a slab of cedar. It wood! Have made a nice shelf. Black plastic was a boot tray for snowy or muddy boots. The metal wire is a dish drainer for your sink. I love boots living room in the corner. He’s a chill kitty!
Thanks for saving what you could from the landfill, simply amazing what gets tossed in the dumpsters. 👍⭐️
If you find something you don't recognize what it is, just click on the google app on your phone. Then click the little Camera icon on the top of the app. Take a picture of the item and google will tell you what is.
Awesome haul u found some pretty items
Awesome finds🎉❤
The metal and rubber mats are for your sink. You put it accross the top and it acts as a drain board. Nice haul!
I just love watching you two dumpster diving,.
I know I will never meet you in real life, but I know we would get on like a house on fire lol. And I adore bones give him a cuddle from his Nannie Lorraine. Take care you brighten everybody's day. Xxx
Another fun adventure!!!
You can also use those metal drying racks as trivets...to safely place large pots/cookie sheets/casserole dishes on your countertops so you needn't worry about burning or damaging them. The best part is that when they get dirty, you just roll them up, and throw them in the dishwasher to clean and sterilize them. They are definitely in my Top 3 USEFUL kitchen gadgets I've bought in the last few years.
I have an HP printer just like the one you found. It works fine and hooks up to your computer. Hope it works. Great dive
I see you guys passing over electrical cords. I always cut the cords off things so when I get a bunch I can cash them in and it helps pay for my gas. It also keeps the copper from going to the landfills!
Just wanted to say that I love you videos!... that long live edge board was cedar!!...great for cutting into pieces and putting in your closets to keep bugs and moths away!!
#1#LOVE LOVE LOVE LOVE#LOVE THIS ONE#LOVE IT
I was in shock you didn't keep that slab of wood. Oh my, my heart my heart. Lol.
Awesome dumpster dive today glad you were able to rescue all that great stuff it's so sad how wasteful people are but there are awesome people like you who help keep the world a better place by saving things that don't need to be thrown away ❤❤❤❤❤❤ keep up the awesome work you are my favorite dumpster diver ever
36:50 I think it's an Ikea boot tray. Great for putting next to the door for muddy boots.
Bones is the cutest little sweetheart❤❤❤
Hey guys you are so cool 😎 and lucky 🍀 love watching you and all your finds ❤
As someone who got bedbugs from a thrifted item, I would say that though I appreciate your idea that you think you know if there where bed bugs on something and that you would notice...you do not always know or be able to see them. They can reside as unhatched eggs on furniture, metal and not just literal bedding.
Love your content and seeing you and hubby rescue and share. The best was the washer/dryer
Your so right if I'm not mistaken there is a bedbug infestation all over the country. They can get into the small cracks under the sole of shoes will so easily transfer them to your home.
They can be in stores also. People can carry them on clothing.
The roll up metal peices layout over your sink for more working space!!
Charcoal bags sell at garage sales
The chipped cup would make planter for some little succulents. 😊
Great items, I know it is way to hot 🥵 for a yard sale! I can’t wait for you to have one ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️💜
The rubber mat is for pets. You place the food and water bowl on top for easy cleaning!
thank you for the inspiration to dive/rescue just walked/ran with dog as usual found 2 nice boxes as well a new open shipped box un wrapped 3 in miniature succulents in copper colored pots 4 of them
12:24 Aluminium blind sitting on top. The scrapper in me is screaming TAKE THE BLIND!! 😂
Haven’t got through all the video, so I’m not sure if you figured it out ,but that black gray thing that you found with the whiteboard that’s to put your muddy boots or shoes on so you don’t get floor dirty.
Be careful getting dry food from personal pantries. They could have bugs. I don't think those coming from a store would be bad. Great dive!
Those metal grates thing I believe goes across your sink to dry dishes on, that's what I'd use them for.
