College Move Out Dumpster Diving DAY ONE! What a Whirlwind!

Day one of college move out dumpster diving !!! The BIG DUMPSTERS are officially on campus and stationed in front of every dorm.
It was quite an emotional rollercoaster of a day ! We are really glad we realized the signs on the campus dumpster were likely from a previous business and not the college. We were feeling all the feels about it there for a second! We ended with a good haul even though it was just the first day of the big dumpsters - we've been going out every day this week and the dumpsters are starting to FILL up. So stay tuned for lots more and thank you for watching!
As always, thank you so much for watching and I hope you have a wonderful day! Happy diving and movin' on!

OMG about the dog!!!! my husband and I were collecting cans dumpster diving 🤿!!! Two weeks ago and he found a puppy in a black garage bag!!!!!!!!!! I WAS ALIVE!!!! I got so emotional and excited at the same time. I was like WHAT DO WE DO OMG WHO DO WE TELL!!!!! WE ended up keeping him.

[@FeistyShlomit]

That must have been shocking! So great guy were able to keep him!!! 🥰

[@mariamccarthy8020]

So sad. How can a human be so cruel to little furry babies 🤨😡🤬

[@liverpoollou246]

Good karma for you both, saving a beautiful little soul. Thank you both ❤

[@susangetz9202]

God bless you. How does anyone trash a living, breathing life????😢

[@justinkern90]

thank you for savingt the pup

[@leannacowan41]

I agree that the dumpster with the Bucees logo was last used at Bucees. The university wouldn't use Bucees logo.

[@FeistyShlomit]

Oh Alex. 28:24 I’m so sorry. That is just brutal. 😢😢😢😢😢. I’m guessing it was comforting to give Bones a good cuddle ❤🐈‍⬛

[@sheilastewart5662]

Thank you so much for shedding a tear for the poor little dog. It made me cry when you said he didn't even get a burial.

[@FeistyShlomit]

Kelly you ARE number ONE!!! Willing to go to jail for life to rescue discarded items AND protecting yourself and Alex from a two for one head injury?!?!?!!! 😂😂😂❤❤❤❤❤

[@breafkast]

😂😂😂 hopefully neither of those things EVER happen !! hahah

[@audreylentz-qx2bo]

You are the negative person that does not too comment

[@ronaupton9328]

I'm so sorry Alex found that. Poor dog hope Alex is OK. Nice finds xx

[@sued616]

Hope ALEX is ok ,poor doggie no respect for him

[@bonbon5980]

It’s so refreshing to see a couple of young people who are so eco -conscious. Aside from the big reason to dumpster dive and keeping useable items from landfills you both are so automatically doing the good things like putting garbage into the dumpsters that’s on the ground, filling different blessing boxes, and so much more. Doing good for Mother Earth comes as naturally to you guys as breathing - not like the people who just litter, or don’t bother to recycle. Thanks for being a ray of light and hope for our world♥️🥰

[@Smithpolly]

Except people recycling is only going to do so much. You can have as many beach clean ups as you like but if you have companies churning out mountains more stuff all the time, it's going to be a losing proposition.

[@Frugal_fitchic]

As a University employee, I can guarantee you that we would not use the Buckees logo. Those are old signs.

[@danamama6766]

Thank you and now she knows she wont go to jail for life :) 💕

I have to agree with Alex, Kelly is my favourite dumper diving lady too ❤️

[@breafkast]

Awwww ❤❤ thank you too sweet

[@kezza138]

Poor puppy, as you said Kelly, there are so many better ways to thank your loyal pet for love 💕

[@Zombie-adventures]

Maybe the bucees one was used at Bucees before???

[@cassdanielle3425]

I came here to say this too. Wonder if Bucees used it for like a remodel or something and the dumpster company just didn't take off the signs?!

[@jannajenkins2276]

My thoughts exactly.

[@amyraw]

My thoughts too, garbage company just didn’t remove them before delivering to the college, I’m sure the university didnt put them on with a bucees logo, and wouldnt care if those signs just fell off on their own!

[@grouptherapy812]

I think this is the case as well. The dumpster company doesn't care what is on it when they deliver it. DIVE THOSE DUMPSTERS!!!!!! Love ya'll.

[@countrygirlinpa8831]

I agree I think used by Buckees before and signs not removed. But I would go at night when Noone around to get caught. If you get caught the most you get is a trespassing fee. Also, it's not as easy but take your car sometimes. This way you truck is not all that's seen.

[@tashahenderson959]

My favorite divers at it again

[@roxannetracy2931]

Thank you for making a difference!

[@mstracey5524]

What a roller coaster of emotions.. one minute I was laughing at you Kelly getting all brave and pinching that bucky sign and the next my heart went out to you Alex.. I am so so sorry you had to see that. I hope you are doing ok and I send out the heart vibes for the poor little doggie. It was so nice to see you Alex giving sweet Bones cuddles and love and you Kelly with tears in your eyes. That’s what I love about you both, you are real and so incredibly kind hearted and awesome! Sending the 3 of you much love from way across the pond♥️♥️♥️♥️🐾🐾🐨🇦🇺

That would be awesome! Please do it 😂😂😂

[@reneekey3935]

I'm always worried about finding a dead animal I'd cry too he definitely deserved better than that! You both have such beautiful souls. It shows in every video. I'm always smiling or laughing with y'all thanks for always taking us along.

The dog has already gone to the land of summer, 💜

Amen for that sweet baby ❤❤❤☮️☮️☮️

[@victoriareed1611]

Ignore the signs hun , just do what you 2 do which is make people smile , 😊 you are such a nice couple ❤

[@debrajohnson1982]

Your college dumpster videos always send me back to my son’s UNT move outs in the early ‘00’s. Thanks!

[@deborahstrunk1956]

You could always put up flyers in the dorms stating that you are looking for usable stuff and to call you instead of throwing them away

[@user-hn7zl4yj4q]

Great idea ❤

[@susanfromnola8661]

Ditto!

[@lyndsaysrebornnurseryoffib4241]

Great idea

[@ionalikins5326]

Great idea

[@AngelaMize]

Heck yeah

[@mimi2one92]

I love it when you all college dive. It always blows my mind what these students throw away and will replace 3 months later 🤔

[@pamvatthauer7917]

Making me smile as usual you two. Hang in there.

[@susanking3842]

I have followed you for over a year and told my daughter how much you both luv creatures environment and your reaction to the dog being found shows that,some days you score big,but no matter your attitude and adventures are so worth the watch,what you did find was very cool. God bless😊

[@ginataylor761]

You cant go to prison Kelly, Alex would be a single Dad raising Bones, they need you! 😊😂❤

[@user-ti3ds1uz1d]

😔 I have no words except to thank you for being 2 lovely people with good hearts

[@eileenwade8971]

Alex , I am so sorry you found the dog, that is so hard on two such gentle souls. Hugs to you guys. Much love ❤️

[@tinacarrier7452]

I could hear the scardness in your voice when you were at that certain dumpster. If felt bad for you two. Sad about Alex and his find.

[@dianebaker7464]

It’s legal to dive on public property in Texas. No worries . You are saving the landfills and helping folks. Love watching you 2

[@catea2551]

but it's not public property

[@savagecatz]

What about the individual residential trash and recycle bins each house has, if it's illegal or not to go thru them? I can't find any info online about that. I find great stuff in those bins all the time!

[@wendyverdensky9859]

You both make great dumpster divers together. Love the smiles

[@Veronica-qx9bl]

I have the exact Red Copper Pan....I use it for everything! Keep it for yourselves you won't be disappointed!!

[@abehappy2229]

Be nice if you park close to the dumpsters, so u can quickly throw them in the back of the truck!! Instead of walking to the truck to put stuff in the back!!😊

[@jennifers3145]

Rolloffs are rented dumpsters, that one was rented at some point by Buc-ees and they put their signs on it, and when it came back to the stockyard, those signs weren’t taken off before it was rented to the college. personally, I would just pull the signs off and throw them in the dumpster… They weren’t put there by the college and I wouldn’t give the college ideas

[@FeistyShlomit]

Ugh. I felt depleted from seeing that no diving sign too. It’s depressing because it’s not like they are finding a solution for reducing waste and they are blocking the opportunity for less things to go to the landfill. Easier to ask forgiveness than ask for permission.

[@Suebe1962]

It's too bad that Alex found the deceased dog in the dumpster. I think that's an illegal thing to do. If you ever find a situation like that again, just call the local animal control people to come to that location and pick up the deceased animal. That is part of their job. I'm excited for you to start with college move out dumpsters. I'm praying for “courage” for you both to start digging in those college dumpsters! Hi Bones, you sweet boy!!!

[@SassySue67]

I was thinking they should have called animal control, you don’t know how the dog died, someone should be held accountable especially if it was abused.

[@mariwillalwaysgivethanks]

We had a crazy lady in our complex throw her deceased dog on the dumpster. The police closed off the area and someone must have alerted the police because she was arrested. Some people should never own an animal!

[@mariwillalwaysgivethanks]

​@@SassySue67Absolutely. Most serial killer start with animals. Please call the police as soon as you can. If you see something, do something. No animals deserve that 😢

[@miekehartjekringloop372]

It is that time again..! 🥳 Cann’t wait to see how much you two will find! Happy diving 😉👍🏼

I feel bad for the fur baby, and Alex having to find it. I keep waiting for a diver to find a human. That is stuff that nightmares are made of.

[@karenschwab6707]

LOVE watching you guys!!! So awesome!!!

[@tieshabelton7454]

😂😂 Thanks for the laughs! Prison?😂 That’s a woman who’s serious about her craft!😭💜

[@karenstringer8266]

Did you report the dead dog cos it shouldn't have been put in a dumpster x

[@marlasturgill8306]

That’s very disturbing that someone would put an animal in a suitcase then throw them in a dumpster! Wow tells you all you need to know about someone like that. Kelli I could tell it bothered you and Alex really bad, I’m glad you didn’t open up the suitcase, that kinda of stuff stays with me for a while and I’m sure it does you too. I look forward to yours and Alex’s dives you both make it so much fun to watch!! Even when you don’t find much you all are still entertaining!!! Take care see ya on the next one. Hope you have Amazing week, hope you find all the things!!!!

[@janetdamboise6225]

It was great seeing you both again! So sorry for Alex having to find that poor dog! It was really nice to see Bones again and he sure is getting to be a big boy! I love black cats, we had one and he had a little white patch on his chest. He was so loving and I really miss him a lot!!!

[@chosenone3051]

My favorite time of the year!!!! College move out!! I love you guys! You make my heart happy!

[@melindaurbiina1854]

It was probably located at buccee's, and they never removed the sign.

That is so heartbreaking about the poor , sweet dog...i really lose faith in humans more each day 😥...it makes you wonder if the poor dog died naturally or not, if you can throw it in the trash like that 💔

[@christinelanmon2852]

100 % agree

[@janiebrossmann1178]

Omg a doggie in the suitcase 😭

[@SimpleandBoldShop]

I cannot believe you left the gym equipment!! The rope is an easy replace or fix, the gyms do this very often. Those are very expensive and you could sell it on marketplace “as is”. Hope some else pick it up 😢

[@breafkast]

When we went back the next day someone had grabbed it. We don’t like to take things that we don’t have the space for or are unsure of how to fix - so we’re happy someone else got it!

Have to dive at night by street light, or take the Bucks sign off, not their dumpster! I'm so ready for move outs!!!! You can buy a new cable for the gym I bet. Kelly and Alex are # 1 dumpster divers to us.

[@ghazi6621]

Good luck 👍 💓

[@marianneplumridge9768]

All the exercise machine would need is a replacement weight cable...probably sold online by the manufacturer. The reason the weight was so low when you pulled at it, is because the weights in the back weren't engaged. Someone could have a very cheap machine for home in this. LOL

[@vitsteele-lz2hn]

Hope you find good stuff

[@samwilliamson1697]

It's going to get better soon guys give it time 😅

[@ritahasz7352]

Yay Bones second college move out 😊

[@user-dw3yj8tg1g]

I don’t think the cops would be bothered if your taking trash 😊

[@mastljn]

Maybe the private dumpster sign was put on by a previous customer/renter of the dumpster and they forgot to remove it when it was picked up and the trash company didn't notice it.

[@paulablyschak1167]

Wow sending you guys lots of positive vibes to have more positive moments. thank you for all you do

[@cyndimanka]

That’s what my daughter-in-law does. She’s basically a dispatcher for a very large waste company in Arizona. And they pick up dumpsters and drop them off. So you will have one guy that goes around and picks up a dumpster and then another guy that drops a clean one off
