Call rescue organizations in your area and ask if they will take it. I have a friend with a private rescue and she has never turned down a bag of food, even if it was opened. The way she & I both see it, some dogs are literally eating garbage before they find their way to a shelter or rescue, so an opened bag of food is not going to hurt them!
I agree call private rescues for the dog food and catfood.I don't underdtand these pet stores throwing ou t food tape it up and call the private rescues in thete neighborhood
Great idea! Also, you might want to keep a big roll of duct tape in your vehicle for times like this. You would be able to tape the bags closed before all the food comes out of the hole/rip. Even some people that have pets that are having a rough time financially at the moment would be grateful to get one of those bags (as long as the product hasn't been recalled for some reason). I agree about the CRAZY amount of corporate waste going on here in America...so unnecessary and frustrating especially when we have people that are going without basic necessities.
Open food bags can be used to feed colonies of feral cats. Drive around and if you see one or more cats running around they are probably part of a larger colony. Ask local shelters if there is a Trap/Neuter/Release (TNR) group in your area. They will always take food for feral colonies. That big litter box can be made into a winter shelter for feral cats. Put it together and duct tape it to seal it up. Line it with styrofoam then put a bed of straw inside. Place it in an area where you see feral cats running around. The litter can be used to get your car unstuck in the winter. Put it under your wheels for traction.
The Michigan Humane Society takes open bags, as long as the food is in the original bag showing the expiration date. I was also told that most places take open or sealed bags of expired dog food as it has shelve life 12-18 months after listed best by date.
You can use the spray foaming carpet cleaner with the brush on the can (I can’t remember the brand, I think it’s Bissell). That will get the paint off of most things, even hard plastic.
Petbarn here where I live in Australia donates open bags of dog food (they tape up the rips/holes/tears) and donate it to the the rescue I foster for. About every 3 months we get a huge amount and we never say no.
Honestly if it's not expired or recalled and since you guys got it for free I would post it on the marketplace to give it to somebody in need cuz so many family struggling that could use a little help, there's a lot of people that will take from their bills to make sure that their animals are cared for so this could be a hand up to someone
Dumpster Diving Mama of 2 donates to several No-kill shelters and they take bags like Nicole said "if it's only a small hole" and the exp date can be up to a year back. Also, she (we all) donate to Wildlife rescue and they don't care at all bc birds etc eat garbage anyway.... a great way to save it all and donate. They take blankets, toys, etc. The organizations we all donate to are soooo GRATEFUL to have Anything now and generally are always about OUT of all foods, litter, etc. You guys are the BEST and I watch you bc A. you DO donate B. You're just so sweet C. You're both adorable together. Thanks so much for all you do.
Hi you both ❤ I am from Germany and also did dumpster diving for a couples years. When I found some ripped animal food, I took it anyway. Packed it in smaller bags and give it to the homeless with dogs. They have been very thankful. Please go on. Like what you are doing ❤
When we find a ton of dog food that isn't open we post it for free on our local Facebook pages since we don't have any shelters or animal organizations near us and the one that is, is over 2 hours away and will only accept donations if you show the receipt for it. We also have a few people who have been going through a bit of a tough time, that will take the bags with little tears or little cuts. That could maybe be an option for y'all
I used that litter in the pink box when my Ragdoll was a kitten! It is excellent litter- all the Dr. Elsye's litter is great. It isn't cheap! That box is over 20.00 now. He uses the Dr. Elsye's Precious Cat now- I pay 24.00 for a 40 lb bag. They have not raised their prices throughout the last few years either. It lasts FOREVER! We use about 6 bags a year total for him. He has 3 litter boxes. No, this is not a commercial for the litter, I just wanted to share the good experiences I have had with it 🤣. God Bless 🥰
Make sure the petfood items are not recall items, they sometomes have to recall items to either send back to vendor or destroy them. They recall them if there was a danger found (metal or glass ended up in them during processing in factories, toxins present, etc)
❤thank you for doing your part in taking care of pets that are waiting for a loving home❤ I would look maybe for homeless people who have pets. I try and carry an extra can or bag of dog food in my car for when I see homeless people with pets. That just breaks my heart
Please make sure there’s no recalls on the pet items before you donate. Check with a wildlife rescue that has different types of animals. Groundhogs, deer, trash pandas 🦝🦝, eat almost anything. Thanks for saving all that food. 😊 You might have a lid that would fit the little blender. Look around in your pantry and fridge and might find one. 👍
I hate how much they destroy and waste! I take packing tape with me. I don’t care if half spilled out, I tape it up and take it. Dogs eat every dead thing they can find and do just find. Ripped dumpster kibble is hardly going to hurt them. The shelters should really look the other way so they can struggle less! As many flies as my dog chowed down on over the years, that’s just another thing that says, grab the trash treats! 😁😁😁 I’m so glad that you guys saved as much as you did!
Hi Nicole and Josh. I hate that they do this in places like that. I however when working for a department store that had food and pet items would take it to the back of the store and put by one of the bay doors and on break drive around and put it in my car. I already new there was no recall in and nothing wrong with it, I took to the shelter on my way home. Good save guy’s. Take care. 🐶🐶🐶🐶🥰🥰🥰🥰💯💯💯
I am so glad that you rescued all the dog and cat food. My neighbor doesn’t have much money and she makes sure her dog gets food before her. It’s so sad that these companies do what the do.👋👋Hands up to the both of you❤
I worked at a spay and neuter clinic that collected food for a pet food bank. PetSmart did not donate food because they feel that grants they give offset donating. You want to check to see if there is a pet food bank that would accept them. We accepted out of date for 3 months. Any cat food, you may see if there is a TNR program that the food could be used for feral colony feeding ( providing that there are no laws against feeding ferals) in this day and age were people are so sue happy I understand why some places won't take them. I used to dive but due to the crime increase and health issues I don't anymore. Love your channel, be safe and happy diving!
Hi Nicole & Josh. What a great save from the Pet dumpster. Nicole, how are the dogs doing. I hope they are feeling good. God Bless you both for all you do. Thank you for sharing. Mari'a. 👍👍👍👍👍🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️😘😘😘😘
There are also foster homes for animals that the shelters have working with them to help get them ready for their forever homes that could use some of what you have.
Saw that you can get red paint out of cases like that one with "Woolite Furniture & rug cleaner" ~ Spray & Brush well, use wet Paper towel & blot out what you can until it has no more red..
Our local senior center and food banks take dog and cat food and other pet related goodies. Also some rescue or rehoming advocates will take food. Our family loves watching your videos.
Do you have any " sharing boxes" in the neighborhood? A lot of the other divers on here have little pantries in their area where they put most of their treasure rescue.
Before using check to make sure that the food isn't recalled. You can use expired food if it's not to old. Try looking up pet pantries too. They give food to families that can't afford to buy food for their pets. It helps them be able to keep their pets. You should keep tape in your car.
There is a local lady to me who posts free pet food since there are so many people struggling with money right now. Free food on marketplace goes pretty quickly. I know I have posted open bags before that haven't agreed with my pets.
They say having kitty litter for your vehicle for when you get stuck in the snow... Maybe if you taped up the bags before you take them, shelters if you can or find out if people need it for their pets?
OMG guys that makes me so 😡😡😡, glad you saved what you did, l really hope that someone else finds the rest, these corporate companies should be charged a penalty every time they throw good stuff away that could be donated to those in need, tfs x Julie 🇬🇧
If there's a blessings box, free little pantry that would be a great place to leave open bags, sometimes food banks will take them even open bags & divide them into smaller bags to leave in a box that people can see & they can take a bag
Most aspca's will not take it but a wildlife rescue may they feed wild birds who are in rehab dry dog food. I took some to my recycling center they let us leave usable stuff out for people who want it or need it so I sat it by the shack it took all of 2 minutes and some guy came up to me thanking me profusely. It was a huge bag along with a case of canned dog food. I like giving it straight to people who are in need. Oh I forgot try a facebook marketplace group who give things away to people in need, Steph does it with some of their dumpster finds.
I find and donate to shelter they take all bags....very appreciative of all the bags i get for them...its just crazy what is out there thrown out....love watching your videos...thank you 👍😁
Last thing, bring with you a step stool, a cutting knife, some strong tape and a reacher thingy to help you with this. Also, some garbage bags or an IKEA bag to put your stuff in.
Dumpster diving momma of 2 said she called the actual manufacturer of the dog food and they told her that it is perfectly good for a year after the date.
Don't know if you all have food pantries in your area but, i know the one in our town takes open bags of animal from because the pantry puts it into smaller bags so seniors in our area don't have to feed their animals the people food and go hungry themselves which is what was happening
the cat litter use that for the winter on ice or packed snow or get a whole bunch of it for traction on ice when you are just spinning out and not going no where
You can also take everything you can fit and put a curb alert on FB marketplace for someone who NEEDS the dog/cat food. Even the ripped bags if someone didn’t mind taking an opened bag.
check for recall on the food if no recall your local humane society should take it along with the cat liter. Some of our food banks take pet food/supplies for donations. you will have to let us know how the blend jet works it is suppose to do ice- spray paint the pumpkin a dif color. Great finds tonite guys
My local shelter will take the bags that are cut if I tape them shut. They have also taken sanitizer, beds, toys, pee pads, etc. I also sell bags of pet food on offerup for 50% + off.
My daughter also does the rescue thing and always has an aray of dogs, cats, 🦝 along with others like fox, squirrel, opossum, farrets, lizards. She would pretty much take any
Curbside junkies would be outraged over them bags no dog food left behind in a bag that's good enough to feed animals, lol. Love y'all good job doing what u can. P.s. rubbing alcohol may take the red paint off massager.
Even the churches that do the food pantry might be willing to take. Ever since the " COVID days" the helping hands have increased. Love watching your diving 🔥🔥
I agree with Deanne Hughes a private rescue may take open bags of dog food. Good luck finding someone. It is very difficult to find anyone who will take unopened bags of dog food.
Thank you for all you do!!! Another diver I watch, picked up boxes of kitty litter, only to find out it was used and put back into the original box. Hopefully that's not the case for you guys.
There are a lot of places that will take them even if they have a rip as long as it is small and you tape it up. Most of them will also take expired pet food. There are also places that will take the open dog food/cat food for crows.
Awesome haul Nicole and Josh. All of that dog food that’s sad I wish they would donate it but glad you guys got some. Thank you for sharing have a wonderful day 😊
Just me Cathie, DDmomma of 2,Breafkast, just to name a few and dumpster cats. All them show making donations to the little care pantries in their neighborhood and close by ❤️❤️
I also watch Dumpster diving mother of two. She gives to a no kill shelter. I don't know about open food , but they will take good up to a year out of date
You should've gathered the ripped bags, put some strong tape on the rip, and take it for your own dogs...You saw it coming out of the bags, so you know its come out of the bags...even if only half full...I hate to see dog and cat food go to waste because of open bags...That stuff is really expensive, you using it yourself keeps the waste down going to the landfill 👍🤔😁
Walmart takes opened bags of dog and cat food to our local shelters. I have worked at 2 and both stores did it. If you can tape them shut (small holes) shelters that REALLY NEED IT, will take it. Rescue organizations will too
Yayyyyyyy! Another video! Woo hoo! Holy moly! Look at all the bags of dog food! You found sooo much! It is a definite shame many were ripped! ) : Bed bath and beyond goodies too?! Yayyyyyyy! Great finds! Woo hoo! ( ;
Pensioners would love to use this stuff. If you know a few. Cat food and litter can go to people who save kittens and cats. There is normally a few in all small towns.
Josh, and Nicole, pet rescues will take pet food donations. Dry pet food is still good for 1 year after the expiration date. I owned a medical needs pet rescue for over 20 years. We took whatever was being donated.
I have heard that injured bird sanctuaries will take open/expired bags of food as long as they’re not being recalled. Maybe that would be an option if you have something like that close to you…….😊
When I would get the full bags of food and litter there, my parents kept the litter and her friend took the dog food as they have a few huge dogs. I can get you info to get it to then if you don't find homes for it they will take open bags too. I carried duct tape with me diving to seal tears
Keep in mind that pet food is thrown out for several reasons: 1. It is expired or recalled 2. Rodents have gotten into the food. Many people don’t know this, but battling rodents is a constant problem and they will gnaw through those bags. 3. Insects have gotten into the food.
Call rescue organizations in your area and ask if they will take it. I have a friend with a private rescue and she has never turned down a bag of food, even if it was opened. The way she & I both see it, some dogs are literally eating garbage before they find their way to a shelter or rescue, so an opened bag of food is not going to hurt them!
This is what I was going to write. Yes I'm sure the rescues would be more than happy to have all that food.
I agree call private rescues for the dog food and catfood.I don't underdtand these pet stores throwing ou t food tape it up and call the private rescues in thete neighborhood
Great idea! Also, you might want to keep a big roll of duct tape in your vehicle for times like this. You would be able to tape the bags closed before all the food comes out of the hole/rip.

Alcohol works on hard plastic.

Good to know, thanks
You can check out to see if there are any local rescues that may be able to use the food. Cat rescues always are in need of kitty litter
Kitty litter is also good to keep in the trunk during winter, I can help if you get stuck and give traction to get out of a bad situation.
Petbarn here where I live in Australia donates open bags of dog food (they tape up the rips/holes/tears) and donate it to the the rescue I foster for. About every 3 months we get a huge amount and we never say no.

If there's no place to take kitty litter, it's really good for traction in the snow, underneath your tires if you're stuck .
Dumpster Diving Mama of 2 donates to several No-kill shelters and they take bags like Nicole said "if it's only a small hole" and the exp date can be up to a year back. Also, she (we all) donate to Wildlife rescue and they don't care at all bc birds etc eat garbage anyway.... a great way to save it all and donate.

You guys are the BEST and I watch you bc
A. you DO donate
B. You're just so sweet
C. You're both adorable together. Thanks so much for all you do.
When you're out and about keep an eye out for homeless folks with their dogs to give the dog/cat food to. They will take the open bags too.
I was going to suggest this exact same thing. I've seen people who buy medium sized bags and cut them open for strays to eat.
Hi you both ❤
I am from Germany and also did dumpster diving for a couples years. When I found some ripped animal food, I took it anyway. Packed it in smaller bags and give it to the homeless with dogs. They have been very thankful.

That is so heartbreaking to see that dog food destroyed when so many shelters are begging for help. But you save some. Thanks for sharing. Hugs🥰
❤thank you for doing your part in taking care of pets that are waiting for a loving home❤ I would look maybe for homeless people who have pets. I try and carry an extra can or bag of dog food in my car for when I see homeless people with pets. That just breaks my heart
Excellent idea. They can just tape the bags where the rips are not too bad.
Homeless people with pets will never knock bag food even if the bags are opened, they appreciate any help for their pets.
Please make sure there’s no recalls on the pet items before you donate. Check with a wildlife rescue that has different types of animals. Groundhogs, deer, trash pandas 🦝🦝, eat almost anything.

It’s not sad it’s disgusting, especially as they could donate. Thank you for saving what you could. Take care and thank you for sharing 👍👏❤️

I absolutely love those pillows. They look so comfortable. By the looks of it maybe your luck is turning around. Enjoy your week. 🙂

There are also foster homes for animals that the shelters have working with them to help get them ready for their forever homes that could use some of what you have.
Our ASPCA allows us to bring opened dry cat food and litter (ours is a cat only, no kill shelter). Just give them a call and ask if yours does, too.

Take some tape with you when you go diving ... you could tape the bags of litter up and might come in handy for other things too!
I find and donate to shelter they take all bags....very appreciative of all the bags i get for them...its just crazy what is out there thrown out....love watching your videos...thank you 👍😁
Thank you for posting more. Enjoy watching you both.
Awesome find. As far as the food goes there maybe recalls on that lot of food so they are required to dispose of the food.
Use the opened bags to feed the wildlife, the birds, racoons, opossum all love it.
hi you can use the litter under your bbq or grill to collect the oil, I use it in down under
Last thing, bring with you a step stool, a cutting knife, some strong tape and a reacher thingy to help you with this. Also, some garbage bags or an IKEA bag to put your stuff in.

You can also use kitty litter for spills in a shop..
the cat litter use that for the winter on ice or packed snow or get a whole bunch of it for traction on ice when you are just spinning out and not going no where
You can also take everything you can fit and put a curb alert on FB marketplace for someone who NEEDS the dog/cat food. Even the ripped bags if someone didn’t mind taking an opened bag.
check for recall on the food if no recall your local humane society should take it along with the cat liter. Some of our food banks take pet food/supplies for donations. you will have to let us know how the blend jet works it is suppose to do ice- spray paint the pumpkin a dif color. Great finds tonite guys
I found a Keurig coffee maker on the side of the road and it worked and you can get replacement parts for the Keurig coffee maker
Sometimes a local food pantry will take open and a little out-of-date pet food. My local pantry does. Just an idea 💡. ❤️❤️❤️
Kitty litter is good for getting tire traction on icy roads/ground.
My local shelter will take the bags that are cut if I tape them shut. They have also taken sanitizer, beds, toys, pee pads, etc. I also sell bags of pet food on offerup for 50% + off.
First time I heard your hubby get so excited!!
That massage gun is AWESOME!! I use mine daily!! Replacement charger on Amazon $10-$15
My daughter also does the rescue thing and always has an aray of dogs, cats, 🦝 along with others like fox, squirrel, opossum, farrets, lizards. She would pretty much take any
Glad you try to help.
Curbside junkies would be outraged over them bags no dog food left behind in a bag that's good enough to feed animals, lol. Love y'all good job doing what u can. P.s. rubbing alcohol may take the red paint off massager.
I’m so glad to see that you are putting up more videos. You always find cool stuff 🤙🏼
Even the churches that do the food pantry might be willing to take. Ever since the " COVID days" the helping hands have increased. Love watching your diving 🔥🔥
I agree with Deanne Hughes a private rescue may take open bags of dog food. Good luck finding someone. It is very difficult to find anyone who will take unopened bags of dog food.
Most shelters will take food even if it is open. I take food to the shelter where we adopted our pit from
Thank you for all you do!!! Another diver I watch, picked up boxes of kitty litter, only to find out it was used and put back into the original box. Hopefully that's not the case for you guys.
Cat litter is good for taking off oil stains from driveway too!
There are a lot of places that will take them even if they have a rip as long as it is small and you tape it up. Most of them will also take expired pet food. There are also places that will take the open dog food/cat food for crows.
Awesome haul Nicole and Josh. All of that dog food that’s sad I wish they would donate it but glad you guys got some. Thank you for sharing have a wonderful day 😊
Make sure there was no recall on any of those before giving it to shelters or your own fur babies 🙂
Great find. Thanks for saving what you could. BTW, that big bag of dog food would not last a month with our dog.
If there is a bird rehab center near you check to see if they take the open bags of dog food for the hawks.
Just me Cathie, DDmomma of 2,Breafkast, just to name a few and dumpster cats. All them show making donations to the little care pantries in their neighborhood and close by ❤️❤️
I have that litter box for my cats. It was expensive. It is great.
I also watch Dumpster diving mother of two. She gives to a no kill shelter. I don't know about open food , but they will take good up to a year out of date
You should've gathered the ripped bags, put some strong tape on the rip, and take it for your own dogs...You saw it coming out of the bags, so you know its come out of the bags...even if only half full...I hate to see dog and cat food go to waste because of open bags...That stuff is really expensive, you using it yourself keeps the waste down going to the landfill 👍🤔😁
That’s the kitty litter I use. The fresh step multi cat! You can just mail it to me!! Lol 😂
Look for rescue center, nonprofit places. But always check for recalls.
Walmart takes opened bags of dog and cat food to our local shelters. I have worked at 2 and both stores did it. If you can tape them shut (small holes) shelters that REALLY NEED IT, will take it. Rescue organizations will too
check the cat litter some one fund 1 and it was full of used litter
Yayyyyyyy! Another video! Woo hoo! Holy moly! Look at all the bags of dog food! You found sooo much! It is a definite shame many were ripped! ) :
Bed bath and beyond goodies too?! Yayyyyyyy! Great finds! Woo hoo! ( ;

I have heard that injured bird sanctuaries will take open/expired bags of food as long as they’re not being recalled. Maybe that would be an option if you have something like that close to you…….😊
I’d love to find one of those blenders. Good finds.😊
Nice find guys keep it up the good work. Love from Australia
Sometimes bags bust open when they stock shelves and accord to safety they have to dispose so people don't assume it was tampered with
My animal shelter takes open bags… they are always over crowded and consistently building new dog pins
oh and love watching you guy's xoxoxo from Australia
Last time i saw that same thing at our local petsmart, a store clerk told me they had to throw away all the dog food because it was a recall item
When I would get the full bags of food and litter there, my parents kept the litter and her friend took the dog food as they have a few huge dogs. I can get you info to get it to then if you don't find homes for it they will take open bags too. I carried duct tape with me diving to seal tears
Keep in mind that pet food is thrown out for several reasons:
1. It is expired or recalled
2. Rodents have gotten into the food. Many people don’t know this, but battling rodents is a constant problem and they will gnaw
through those bags.
3. Insects have gotten into the food.
So excited about another video
NICOLE & JOSH, I AM WITH YOU ON THE DOG FOOD. I HATE TO SEE SO MUCH GOING TO WAST IN HARD TIME THAT WE ARE IN
Oko cat litter is the Bomb!
In Netherlands they would call the rescue center, and they will pick up the animal food for free!
check thr kitty litter. Sometimes it is recycled litter that you don't want in your car
Awesome Guy's.
Good haul!
