College Move Out Dumpster Diving DAY THREE! Sealed Food & Dorm Room Supplies!

Day THREE of dumpster diving during college move out! The dumpsters were FULL today and we found so many great items thrown away outside the dorms. We always find so many laundry hampers, storage bins, dorm room supplies, and of course sealed food.
We’re happy we were able to save so much today and look forward to sharing more of our college move out dives with you soon - next video up Friday!
As always, thank you so much for watching and I hope you have a wonderful day! Happy diving and movin' on!

Don't nervous Kelly..the worst they can do is ask you to leave. You guys are so polite and respectful that I can't see there being an issue. You always leave things neater than when you got there.😊

[@mariah3654]

I leave area as clean as it was or cleaner 😊

[@gailjackson910]

Exactly

[@Laura-ii1xq]

In my town it is trespassing if you go onto a property and go through a dumpster. I'm sure they don't want charges against them. Even though they keep it clean does not mean other people do. They could crack down on all the people doing this just to get rid of the ones that make a mess. Including them. So every time they do this in a parking lot they risk getting charged for trespassing.

[@becca0912]

I tried watching other DD College moveout and yours are hands down the best.

[@suzyboyleanderson6945]

The first video I ever watched years ago was a college move out and I was hooked on the videos and how upbeat Kelly was in the videos.

[@cathryng3849]

I like the tenacity of the crow! Thanks for filming him/her!

[@kittyfunland851]

You guys have no idea just how much i look for to these videos..!!! I swear i check everyday several times for them. Keep then coming, please! It is SO satisfying to see you resque stuff from the landfill ❤ Keep going - you guys are doing amazing!

[@edie4321]

Do you also watch Taco Stacks? He and Breafkast are genuine and real in this AI world. It's nice to see people helping, not hoarding. Most resellers just want to make money and views off of you. These channels, not so.

[@eileenpritchard9154]

Me too.

[@clacicle]

Back in the late 80s I used to spend my summers cleaning and fixing the dorms of my college. I found so much there. Money, food, beer, books, art supplies, clothes, drugs, stereo equipment, furniture and a bicycle. It was amazing how much my fellow school mates threw away and how wasteful they were.

[@Suebe1962]

I realize it can be scary going dumpster diving around the college, thinking that someone is going to tell you to leave. I get it! But if you just stayed home and didn't go anywhere, all those nice things you usually find would go directly to the landfill and be covered in dirt, to rot for an eternity!! When you're feeling anxious next time, just think of the bigger purpose of keeping more things out of the landfill!! Kelly, you and Alex are playing a big part in this world by recycling, resaling, and donating. I salute both of you for doing a grand job at it as well!!! 🫡 Hi Bones! 😻

[@datagrl]

Also, you’re not doing anything wrong! The worst that would happen is that someone would ask you to leave. They won’t prosecute you or anything. Don’t be nervous! You’re doing a really good thing.

[@mariah3654]

Yes I thought about that yesterday - everything staying in the dumpster or me diving. I rescued a lot and now can give it away to people in need who are unhoused/low-income. they're always so appreciative. I give it to them directly at a Catholic Worker House nearby.

[@sued616]

Well said

[@ullab784]

👍

[@janburkett4107]

The item that you couldn’t identify was a shoe rack. You hang it on your closet door and put your shoes on it! I have several and it broke my heart when you left it in the dumpster! I love watching your videos! You guys are always laughing! Such a cute couple. I admit that I have checked the dumpster around move out here at the University of Virginia. I’ve found some awesome stuff. A desk, folding table, vases, stemware, fabric shower curtain, a cute folding chair like the one you put back in the dumpster, which I gave to my friend for her son, etc. I’m constantly amazed at how much good stuff these kids throw away! Good job guys! You’re my favorite channel.

[@babybunny1967]

I had a great uncle who was with the campus police at a college in Washington. He would take stuff out of the dumpsters and sometimes students would just ask him if he wanted any of their things before they threw it in. They also had trash shoots and he was in charge of swapping out the dumpsters at the bottom of it. He got all sorts of things just like you do. This was in the 80's. He never sold anything, he would give everything away that he couldn't use. Nowadays it's easier to sell the things you find.

[@anthonyogle7746]

it never stops amazes me how much good usable stuff gets tossed in dumpsters. keep up the good work and yes you are making a difference.

[@issa-me-lissa]

Loved hearing Alex give side commentary as he drove up to get Kelly from the last dumpster... Too cute... Great vid guys can't wait for the next one

[@suzyboyleanderson6945]

The first video I ever watched from this channel was actually a college move out video and was hooked not only on the videos, snd Kelly has this upbeat attitude and friendlyness that makes people like her and want to watch her videos

[@gailjackson910]

She's a doll!

[@reneekey3935]

They are both awesome. They are the best dumpster diving KZbinrs in my opinion! Kelly is the friend we all need in our lives. 💯 I've been hooked since the first video as well. 😂🤷‍♀️

[@lauriebackus7973]

This is the 3rd college move out I've watched since I've subscribed to you. I watched the first one when I binge watched the beginning of your videos. I LOVE your channel and all you've saved!! Thanks for all you do!

[@stephanies231]

You guys should check the elementary schools dumpster after school let’s put. Another diver I used to watch got tons of stuff when the teachers move out of their rooms.

[@w8what575]

Public schools throw out everything at the end of each year to the point it makes me angry…literally $300 digital pens that were never opened and they have the nerve to guilt trip parents into giving them more money for supplies and it’s not spent on supplies ….when they get millions every year and then waste it…then complain they don’t make enough…they make plenty!

[@yarnlady1058]

@@w8what575 I am super happy that the teachers at my daughter's elementary would keep anything that was unopened or gently used. They had boxes for parents to put leftover supplies in to keep for the next school year. Also they would send home reminders to hang onto any good supplies to use next year.

[@nadinelopes4789]

I would think these people should invite you two to dumpster dive, you are so good for cleaning their messes.

[@lainiegrantman2935]

It would be so much nicer if the schools would offer a spot that kids could drop off items that are still usable and the community could take what they want. It would be cheaper for the school, they wouldnt need all those dumpsters.

[@mariah3654]

They do that at the university nearby where I dive - it's great to see!

[@joyceward28]

Hi Kelly Alex and Bones Wow what a great haul today!!❤ Sorry 😞 it makes y'all nervous 😓 but I bet it's worth in the long term! Take care out there climbing in and out of the dumpers glass and things you may not see and could possibly get hurt. Love you y'all 😍 Blessings your friend Joyce from California HUGS 😅❤!!

[@lorettacaputo6997]

The SUNY Oneonta did just that. I would have gone but I had other things to do.

[@priscillawhite5971]

I would love diving there with ya'll.. It looks so fun and i wouldn't care who's watching..lol Enjoyed tagging along with ya'll..

[@user-wc2ik1ug2i]

I love watching you guys go through all the stuff in the big open top dumpsters that the college kids throw away. Amazing

[@shannonhinton3907]

Lol i love Alex's voice over at the end. Too funny. Love yal❤❤

[@gailjackson910]

Crows are incredibly smart.

[@janiebrossmann1178]

It’s so awesome that you guys save so many things virtually every single day 🥰

[@deboracopeland4795]

Take the fire pit take the fire pit! Lol

[@kittyfunland851]

Yes!! I keep screaming at the screen: Take it take it take it!!!! 😂

[@sup_itsme]

OMG! Alex is driving at the end of the video! Great haul! WOWza! Love your Chanel! Can't for for day 4 😊

[@pegs1659]

You can always be proud of yourself when you learn from past things and make adjustments to make it better. Its a perfect example of "Think smarter, not harder." .☺

[@rileyhanenberger8439]

You two are such a cute couple your just so sweet to each other.

[@debbietanner9172]

I love watching you both save great things from the landfill.

[@jocook174]

Another great day. Love watching all the stuff you find.

[@alanarobertson9827]

You two are my favorite scavengers/rescuers.

[@mariah3654]

And eco-warriors!

[@traceymadden9220]

Tho they do leave some reasonably good stuff behind. 😢

[@quaggy85]

LOL i like how we can hear Alex's mic still on 32mins in

[@alanbirkner1958]

Hi, I'm 74. We're near Chicago. I check 2 indoor dumpsters and other places where people leave free stuff. I just took a box of baby stuff and clothes to a local charity. My craft and hobby stuff is all used or free. Styrofoam packing is good for making stamping tools. Tina, Al's wife

[@irisgerigk6563]

the night is beautiful now. because you posted something new. I love watching you. great what you're doing. Warm greetings from Germany.

[@susanking3842]

Have followed u over a year luv your traveling adventures and how much u care about all creatures and environment and just all you save from the landfills,and I really like that u both wear gloves,no worries u guys are doing so well,as hubby said at the end Amen sister!!!!!😊

[@elissalee3057]

Its all good 😊. Don't be afraid, Yall Rock!!!!❤😊

[@grannyanne1000]

Just tell them you are on clean up duty! 😊 you look suspicious when you are scared, own the place! Good Job though!

[@user-yn6ey1xz7m]

It's pretty cool nobody told you anything! I know that the anxiety would drive me crazy too! Great stuff that you saved!

[@ritahall8653]

Great job I love how you too are so happy

[@susanteck8200]

Hey Kelly & Alex those red bags work great for cleaning out the cat box 😻 I love watching you guys ur videos are the best

[@flowersarefriends]

I get the "nerves" thing..........I get nervous to check the little free libraries sometimes lol. One mans trash is another mans treasure!!!!! Keep that in thoughts when you are working. It might help shake off the nerves. Honestly most people are not really paying much attention !

[@brikhouse22]

Man, i always feel bad when i see an ambulance go by cause you know someone is having a really bad day.

[@dottienealis9032]

Yes. And God bless.

[@susiegray8968]

Not a belt rack but a shoe rack that hangs on a door. I have always done well on yard selling clothes. Two things I learned, keep it cheap like $2.OO a Wal-Mart sized bag and the most amazing thing is never fold the clothes. I always got my friends utility trailer and threw a tarp in the bottom and dumped all the clothes on them. I have had as many as twenty people surround that trailer and stay there digging as long as two hours.

[@bonitamerchant9745]

Don't be afraid. They are people just like you and me. Talk to the students that will help. Keep on moving on.

[@cathryng3849]

I agree, even if the students can't figure out how to get their stuff home or to a new job, they might appreciate that you are saving it from the landfill.

[@susang6193]

The large white piece you past on, is for shoe storage. It hangs on the back of the door. Fun to see all of good stuff you find.

[@emfatale9970]

If anyone asks, say a bag got unintentionally thrown out in your process of moving that you’re looking for. ;)

[@greencoloredstar]

The white rack with the loops at 28:50 is an over the door shoe rack! If you see it next time you go, you should definitely grab it! They're really handy.

[@susancousins8766]

Alex & Kelly, I know you are nervous about college diving. You shouldn’t be all anyone could say is you are not allowed to dumpster dive. Or yell get out! 😂😂😂 No worries guys…

[@mariah3654]

I'm thinking maybe wear a construction type reflective vest to look like you're part of a cleanup crew?

[@laurie2355]

Brilliant idea

[@florencehodges-moore2909]

Hey you guys you didn’t Seam very confident today you are doing a great job pat on the back bless you both xxxx ❤❤

[@SharonDiRosario]

That wire rack you weren't sure of is a shoe holder,maybe secure to a door.

[@pamvatthauer7917]

Such waste, a shame, hard to grasp. Way to salvage and repurpose. So much to find.

[@mmagpiie2470]

I love your nature moments! Some of the best birds ever and they sing along as you dive! Glad you have Alex's help now, I remember when you were alone.😊🎶🌹🎶

[@mimik9339]

I also look forward to the adventures of Kelly and Alex and wish I could watch for possible lurking dumpster protectors who might confront you! Your humorous approach to this (especially your willingness to go go to prison) LOL really made me laugh out loud the other day. I love that you have developed your systems for donating and now selling some clothing. LOVE LOVE the videos !

[@jillschreckengost8492]

Kelly you are so awesome for picking up all that trash on the ground that others left. Really like those two small carts you found; they’re pricey at the stores. These colleges & students are so wasteful; they could have a place that stuff could be donated for the new students coming in. Not everyone will have the $ to go buy all the stuff they need.

[@TheAshesvondust]

That white thing that was definitely some thing was a back-of-door shoe rack 🤣 So many of those back pillows! I got one of those when I started college with the idea I could sit in bed to study and be comfy, but nope. I was not comfy at all and my quality of studying was awful! I improved so much by sitting at a table with Mozart in my ears (Thank you, Wolfman, I aced so many exams because of you!)

[@colleencrane4843]

Woohoo here we go 🎉❤😊

[@debbiewatchorn5199]

It’s crazy to think how much of parents money is in these dumpsters!

[@susanstarling9441]

You guys are great, we need more people to save things from the landfill, I always look forward to seeing what the college move outs throw away , I’m surprised that they don’t do a big compost for food rubbish , especially as the grounds to the places are very tidy and green 😊

[@anitayee9084]

Happy Monday ❤ and Hello Alex. Kelly. Bones and We love your video ❤ we love Day 3 College clean out. Save from the Landfill. Awesome score.

[@michellestrong2071]

It's to hang on the back of the door and put shoes on it to put them up out of the way

[@someonewhoknows2019]

My daughters live in a college town, and used to pick up the throw away, every year that college let out. They did not ever have a problem with anyone.

[@saturn1231]

Great job trash warriors!

Good morning guys ❤☕️☕️

Awesome dumpster diving, thanks for sharing 💜💙😊

[@dottienealis9032]

13:42 Hi Kelly and Alex. Love watching your videos!!! I wish you didn't have to feel so afraid of saving items from the trash. You two should be thanked and commended for helping save the planet. And your videos are an amazing learning tool for those who are learning to dumpster dive. Thank you and God bless you both. Love to Bones, sweet kitty.🐈🥰☮️

[@ChrissyCavalieri]

That large white metal thing was a closet shoe holder or under bed use. Those would sell!

[@SassySue67]

It’s an over the door shoe holder.

[@stephaniegoddard9397]

Alex! Loved: “eating trash!” Hey if I were younger I’d be out there with the both of you diving myself.

[@lindarayburn9445]

Try not to be afraid just think about all that you're doing to keep that out of the landfill

[@sandrabailey6888]

Hope you find more great stuff too save 🤗

[@0thereviewer586]

Hi there,our child is taking summer college at colo,we got into dorm and there on hallway floor , had college house hold items,I helped myself to them.the items were things I could use. It's was cool.i thought about dumpster diving 😊

Good luck with your dives. You save a lot of stuff from going to the landfill and are great people for sharing to less fortunate people. Keep up the good work. God bless

Great finds , love seeing what you find. Thank you for sharing. 😃🇨🇦

[@SheilaMA1]

You think the college would appreciate you taking things out of the dumpsters and freeing up space in there for them! I told my partner about what you find and he was shocked, I might be able to convince him to check the college in our city....he's pretty much been against me dumpster diving, but he was intrigued with your finds

[@JennaC225]

It would be cool to see a video of you bringing some of the clothes to the buy and sell store! Thanks for the video, we always enjoy it!

😅Not sure why, but this episode made me giggle a LOT! Thanks for putting yourselves in "Danger" for our enjoyment 😁!💚💜💙

[@pearlneidlinger391]

I understand why you're both nervous and I feel sad for both of you. I would ask maintenance if and when they stop you, to watch one of your videos. You clean up more of the messes that the students leave behind and you are providing as much sustainability as you can. I wish people would understand that. When I lived in London Ontario I noticed first the garbage, then clothing, and a few days later bigger items the last was always refridgerator foods and kitchen spices. So much is completely wasted and I'm so surprised that the Universities aren't passing the message along to donate or do curb alerts. In Toronto they have Swooping websites, theyreso cool people post good stuff on the curbs, they take photos wgen the put out their belongings or people just let others know. It's realky growing in T.O. and it's great anything worthwhile saved from a landfill is the right thing to do. Keep up the wonderful work you do, it does help our planet. All the best to you both.

[@alicebutton6240]

Nice finds you too ! Love watching you ! ❤️
