Dumpster Diving on College MOVE OUT DAY! This haul is insane! 

Have these students ever heard of donating? The waste is disgusting...

Every college should have a thrift store that everything can be donated and proceeds go back to the college community

Years ago my city realized that when the students left at the end of the college year, TONS! of stuff was going to the landfill. A non profit was started and collection bins were place around campuses to collect unwanted items. Volunteers also hit the curbs to look for items in the trash that could be recovered. The items are organized and cleaned and prepared for a giant yard sale that is held when the students return for the next school year. A different local charity is the target of the monies raised annually. Thousands of dollars every year is raised on the resale of the items that use to go to the landfill....dollars that go back into the community. We also have reuse stores where students can donate unwanted items before they leave the city.

Who raised these people? Even if you're rich, you should still donate instead of dumping. Probably the same people who get mad at you for drinking with straws too. "save the turtles"

The waste is sickening. I see so much stuff that could be donated or recycled.

Colleges ought to have a designated site where students could leave usable items for other students to use.

Some students at my future college: *throws their stuff away* Me and and possibly the bois: *yeets into dumpster to get new room decor cuz we be broke* 😔👊🏻

I thank the heavens my daughter and her friends donated their entire apartment when they left and didn’t throw away perfectly good stuff! It makes me more proud of her after watching this!

I was so broke in college that I took all my belongings with me when I moved out. It never would’ve occurred to me to throw away everything. It all fit in the trunk of my car.

I used to clean student housing, I couldnt believe the stuff I would find!! It is like they dont care, cause mom and dad bought it all

At the university I work at in Georgia, they do a "donate it, don't dump it" campaign starting in April of every year. Yes, they place sorting bins out everywhere next to dumpsters and the university gathers it all up, organizes it and donates to charity. UNT might also do this. Sorry if someone already noted this. I am not reading all of the comments! Enjoyed the episode!

College MoveOut Days are awesome!! I got an end table that was so nice and it had an envelope with $200 inside! 🤗

These students need to be educated about poverty in the world, :>(

MAny colleges ( UNH for example) have a collection day for students leaving, and they save the items for September for new student to come "shop." Recycle and reuse

Suggestion: Sometimes instead of bleach you should try Ivory bar soap for stains and peroxide, Dawn dish soap, and baking soda instead for their whitening properties. Can use all at once or whatever combination is your choice. Baking soda actually boosts soap and cleaning power. Sometimes bleach is not the first thing you want to try.

My son built himself a bicycle from parts he found in dumpsters when college students went home for summer.

But I wish parents would teach there kids to upcycle and recycle.

Who is stupid enough to throw away pair of Air Force 1s in fine condition? 🤷‍♀️if there thrashed I get it but those where perfectly fine

I used to clean dorms, once I found a mini iPad . Charging port was messed up but fixed it, ended up selling it for 250$ on eBay lol.

I got in a construction dumpster once and soon realized I couldn’t get out. Finally stacked up a bunch of stuff and climbed out.

This is by the University of North Texas. I attend this university currently and this video really hurts my heart because our entire motto is “Mean Green”. We care so much about our environment as a university and to see that that isn’t resonating with other students as much as it does with me really hurts. If you need any help doing this next move out season please message me and let me know. I would be more than happy to help with sorting out donations.

We are the most wasteful society. This a third world family’s entire lifetime and living. The majority of these items could be collected and offered up for free in a depressed area of your community.

Local collages here have an event called a dump and run , where you can bring the stuff you don’t want and then it’s like a big yard sale after and what ever doesn’t sell gets donated

so someone just deadass threw away their whole college bag straight in the dumpster???? wtf...

Do not bleach that white hat!!! Instead soak in a strong mixture of Oxyclean in a bucket for 2-3 days if necessary! This will not weaken the material like bleach will. Good luck!! Donation bins beside dumpster might help! However you may not be able to find anyone that will do temporary bins.

When I was in college years ago... people throwing away clothes with tags still on them... I couldn’t believe it. I would always go through it all.

Has anyone ever told you to leave? I wish i had your guts because you're making a difference! Thanks for sharing, and wear gloves girl!

Nice haul! I hope you snagged those work shirts with the tags on them. There’s actually a style that people will wear work shirts, especially if they have patches or names on them.

First of all, any viewers with young children watching this, teach your children NOW to reduce, reuse and recycle! Make it a family project to donate used items - don't just throw everything away! Your children will follow your example and when they grow up into college students, they won't be as wasteful as these young people in this video obviously are... but for now, possibly church groups in the area of a college or university - set up a drive in local apartment communities and donate gently used items to local women's shelter or thrift shops.

Rummaging through bags with your bare hands is dangerous. Buy yourself some gloves. Be safe.

is anyone going to talk about the scary fact that that bag was in perfect condition and still had everything inside including an ID.... kinda sketchy idkkk😂

Girl, Your channel is BLOWING UP! I knew it would! Keep rocking the Dumpster Diving! We ❤ your content!

i have way too much social anxiety to dumpster dive so props to you

Please wear some thick gloves. One dirty needle stick could be really bad. Glad you found so much!

Ripping all the bags like that will become an issue. Possibly banning diving diving in the complex. Bring scissors, cut the top so you can retie the bag.

I can’t believe the waste of these college students! I remember when I was moving from college, I had extra things that wouldn’t be able to fit in my parent’s house (couch, one of those fabric closets, a microwave). My Dad and I put them outside of the front door. Before he could even write out a ‘Free’ sign, someone came up and asked if we were giving it away. The place I was living in was a complex of townhouses. It was mostly families living there. Within minutes, people surrounded the front of the townhouse waiting to see if we would be giving away other items. I ended up giving more than I intended to but everyone was so grateful and happy. It worked out well. If they had not come by, I would have just taken them home and either donated or sold the items. I think the donation box outside of the college for move-out day would be a good idea. I used to work at a hotel that most of the employees were either from out of province or another country. We had employee housing. When people would leave the job (a lot of them were seasonal), there was a room in a staff common area that you could leave the items that were too much to pack and bring on a plane. People left luggage, bedding, dishes, clothing, etc. We could go into this room and take whatever we wanted or needed. It was good for those who had just moved in and forgot to bring certain items. I’m happy to see that thanks to you, a lot of these items will be reused and saved from landfills :)

Whenever you find textbooks look into selling them to Amazon. On any recent books i have gotten a good return, much more than $20.

Hi Breakfast. Love your vids. My DD bag contains: rubberized gardening gloves, hand sanitizer, paper towels, baby wipes, small empty plastic bins with lids, zip lock baggies for smalls, fabric shopping bags for clothing, sunglasses, hat, a collapsible step, a sm pole with rubberized ends to hold up the dumpster lid and my grabber. I keep large empty plastic bins in my trunk. I found a new, shower curtain and opened it to protect my back seat. So far these supplies have worked for me. I found a small ice chest in a CVS dumpster with reusable ice packs. I take them with me for dives at ALDI's. Thanks, Char in PA

I like the donation bin idea. When I went to college back in the frigid northlands I recall that the end of the school year was really stressful because you were basically spending all you're time simultaneously moving on a really tight timeframe as well as studying for finals or wrapping up final projects. It would have been awesome to have donation bins them, but also to have more time, guidance on moving, and help on mentally healthy ways to discover oneself without necessarily doing so by shopping. A lot of folks at my college had that problem and came from wealthy homes so there was little regard for wastefulness or what really is important in life.

When I lived in New Haven CT, Yale would provide a ton of bins marked “Take it or Leave it” for students to leave/take useable goods during move out week. Then a charity group would empty the bins every day.

Yes, there should be a nearby church parking lot with different bins for unopened food, clothes, school supplies, cleaning products, etc; that the students could drop them at.

My daughter is in the military, and they have a trade cabinet you can drop all your stuff off. And whoever needs it and can take what they need.

I know I have trouble sleeping but how the hell did I get sucked into this trash abyss?

Brilliant to go there when the students move out. I can’t get over the stuff that they get rid of. But their loss is your gain!

You need gloves and a go pro camera!! So much waste,must be nice to just throw perfectly good stuff away and then go buy more...

My school has donation bins for food, clothes, school supplies, books, home goods, etc. Reuse reduce and recycle people!!!

Someone's like, "OH NO!! I THINK I LOST MY PHONE WHEN I WAS DUMPSTER DIVING!!"

I feel like you could make a full time job off diving and selling online!

And the week before these students were out at a “save the planet” rally! Don’t they see the connection??? Tossing things instead of donating. SMH.

This makes me a lot less sympathetic to college students who are complaining about the cost of college.

I SO like her 2023 style of doing over what she did back at this time 3 years prior...more about saving from the landfill then cherry picking for resale. Both worthy causes but saving it all is kinda fun. Channel has come a long way. Especially fun now that Alex has joined the fun on a daily basis.

Do you worry about bugs? I’d be terrified of taking cockroaches or bed bugs into my home

Haha! You do exactly what I do- but I'm in VA. And there, it happens in May/June. Between the unopened food, toiletries, clothing, textbooks, tech stuff, school supplies, I supplied myself, made stacks, and donated to school teachers. Plus gas $++ from scrap metal and pawning.

Finding that PS1 Slim and the Spyro game would have made my day 😁 I'm not going to lie I probably would have left and went home to play the game LOL

My friends and I used to troll the "throw away" items at the end of each semester. It's how I got a lot of stuff during that time

I'll tell you something, I have watched a few different youtube channels that dive but you are my favorite so far. You seem to be the realest. I really like that you're donating so much too.

I wanted to get rid of my bike after college so I put it on the side of the road with a sign that said "free" and it was gone within ten minutes. That's the least you could do for something like a bike.

It would be nice if they put by the dumper, those clothes bins that go to boys and girls club or animal shelters.

And those same college kids want to tell everybody else how to live their life

You could open a thrift shop with all these finds

This really upsets me. I wonder how much schlorship money was used to buy these things that were so easily dumped. I guess attending college hasn't taught these students anything!

I am shocked to see the state of those dumpsters. Here in Finland we recycle as much as we can, and I don't believe most people here would throw away good stuff like that, and in such a disgusting manner... Oh my...

You do a great job finding things and you always have a beautiful smile on. Bless you for all your hard work!

Glad u shared. Knew something was wrong somewhere. My friend u r special. Too many times we don't see what others do. Thank you for all you do. Truly are special. Thank you so much.

It’s the disposable society we live in. If something isn’t perfect they throw it away and buy a new one. My sister lived near a university and she used to “trash shop” get barely used furniture and hints that they can’t move home so they discard. Now I have the perfect dumpster diving vehicle- a pickup, so I want to get onto it.

I am so going to start dumper diving at the nearby colleges.

OMG!! GLOVES!!! Also, yes, donation bins would be a great start.

Ppl are sooo wasteful! I'm glad that u take time and go thru and make use of all of this stuff and are able to make money from other ppls stuff they don't want.good job!

Wow i find this very overwhelming. I would feel depressed trying to look through all that. Well done to you young lady. What a wasteful society we live in. Dumping instead of donating. These people must already have too much materially to do this. Boy this really saddens me. Your a very hard working young women. Thankyou for your caring and strong work ethic. Can't say that about those that dumped all this.

Good for you girl!! we definitely waste so much...it is so very sad!! you're right that they should put donation bins for the students to use!!

Every college I've been to looks like this during move out week! I used to dumpster dive to simply take the items to the local thrift store. One college actually had Goodwill bring bins over for the students to fill and then they would pick up the items to sell in the Goodwill store, worked out well for both organizations.

Thank you Kel! I ABSOLUTELY adore your videos! I also dumpster dive in my town & although my town is quite small it's appalling what people THROW AWAY! Keep up the struggle ! ITS REAL

Love your videos but please use gloves healthy first🙂

I dumpster dove in Chicago for years. Paying all my household bills every month. My advice? Take everything! If it has any kind of value, beingcleaned is easy. It'll be worth something to someone! Even selling an item for 25cents is 25cents more you didn't have! Get for free!!??? Sell it!!

I used to dumpster dive! It is so fun! I do still go where the dumps are here that have a building for ppl to leave stuff that they no longer want. It amazes me at some stuff people throw away!

take all of the clothes!!! you can sell them for expensive on ebay mercari and poshmark!! do it! it doesn’t matter the brands, people love lots!

In my town at move out time the Salvation Army parks a truck for the students to put donation in.

I grew up in a college town and it has always been like this after student move out day. And there are TONS of dumpster divers who go through it all. I think donation bins would be great. Maybe that’s something that could be coordinated with the local thrift stores and donation centers? Of course they would have to be very very conveniently located. The biggest problem is college aged students -collectively speaking- tend to procrastinate, and are doing all of this at the very last minute. They realize they don’t have room to bring everything home so they chuck it quickly and gtfo lol! But I think all the townie dumpster divers benefit greatly from it and I think it all comes out in the wash lol!

You got me wanting to go dumpster diving now! WOW great finds girl

My college places give & take boxes throughout the school year & at the end, summer crew goes through the stuff and does a huge donation to good will. Students will also plan a really free market twice a year and many students take a bunch of stuff home

Dude, I cant believe people throw all this away! I'm so broke I can't even throw away paper plates some times 🤦‍♀️

Ask thrift stores to bring one of their trucks to the apartment complex and the students bring things to the truck.

Love watching your videos... it's calming...

when I was in college I used to love dumpster diving move out day lol I got some good pans in perfect condition, lots of clothes, good blankets, a lamp, several of those plastic drawers and even a couch that I had to pull out of the trash (twice) lol

Gloves! Puncture proof gloves, please!

I would have grabbed all and gave to homeless shelters 🤷‍♀️

In Italy where I live we have dumpsters for clothes, and household items, these are for Caritas. Once a week a big truck comes and sorts through the items and takes them away. Italy is big on recycling…we have paper, glass and metal, plastic, and dumpsters for organic too. Also at the recycling center they accept all kinds of things, furniture, large items in glass, small and large appliances, printer ink cartridges, old cooking oil, batteries, just to name a few. There is also a recycling store where you just donate unwanted usable things and they in turn sell them for a nominal fee. I hope that your town has established these centers so there will be less items that can be recycled in the landfills. I enjoy watching your videos!

I love how you take your time. I'm out there acting like a tazmanian devil just throwing stuff in my trunk. I wear gloves though so I'm not as cautious.

The horrible waste of all this makes me want to cry.

Notre Dame asks that the kids take it to one location, and the school has a huge Sale to get rid of it.

I remember in Menomonie, Wisconsin the dumpsters were filled with amazing amounts of stuff, nic equality furniture - leather sofas, recliners, etc. Nice haul! It's nice to think that things won't go into the landfill!

Gloves Gloves Gloves....I ALWAYS wear gloves when going through bags, glass, dirt you never know!

I have just binge watched you. What do I think? ❤️YOU ARE FAB❤️. I watched one vlog then another until my eyes were sore. I’m from Northern Ireland and it’s illegal to Dumpster Dive here, I wish we could. There is no doubt we live in a disposable world, Love, love, love your vlogs keep them coming. God Bless xxxxx❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️xxxxx

Thank you for rescuing things out of the dumpster and landfills!

I would have the hardest time restraining myself from taking so much more of what was there! Just after one dumpster, I would have had an overpacked car that drove lower to the ground and had a leaning tower on top. I like that you are so methodical and thoughtful and don't go crazy taking everything that you can.

I’ve been reading about the terrible weather you have been having in Texas, the loss of electricity and water - I do hope you are coping with all of it and are okay. Hang in there - Janice from Nova Scotia, Canada

Sounds like a good project for the sororities to get involved. They could collect for the thrift stores, homeless shelters, etc. Publicize a month before school is out. Get the thrifts to get some kind of recepticals on a truck(fraternity involvement) and go to locations in the apartment complexes to collect.

Why just look for clothes? I saw rugs and you said kitchen stuff, all could be donated if the rugs aren't too disgusting

Honestly I'm 100% for curbside finds. I currently live in one of these college community rentals, and lots of people leave things on the side of the dumpster, in hopes of someone else benefitting from it. That being said though, lots of people dump straight up TONS of actual garbage in this same area and so some good things that could be used end up all mixed in. I wish there was a more centralized way of giving these things directly to people, or in a location where it would directly benefit others. Like I've seen lots of communities do community pantry's like they would community library at the side of ones house or in a commonly used field.

Oh my. You looked so tired,but you were still smiling. 😁 Nice haul.
