DUMPSTER DIVING AT SMYTHS TOYS SHOP AFTER CHRISTMAS 2022 OMG THERE WAS SO MANY TOYS THROWN AWAY

[@Phil-Mecrakin]

Winds me up how huge companies like this would rather throw these items away then give to the less fortunate, like imagine all the kids waking up on Christmas Day with nothing 😢

It should be illegal to throw all this stuff away and not donate it to so many children would love these things that get nothing. Thank you for doing all you do!

[@tylerpemberton3134]

And they go out of the way to spray and damage so no one can use ...😢 Maybe so the employees can't take home and give to there kids?? But even than it's a bit dodge

[@hotwheelshuntinguk]

And yet there is enough for atleast 1 toy for each unfortunate kid in the uk, especially with the amount of Smyth’s stores

[@ajwalou-nack2343]

My daughter used to work at the Range and if a box was slightly damaged on say a £100 item it was always smashed to bits to stop dumpster diving. Shame on these companies.

[@mikaelabowen5781]

It makes me feel ill seeing so many perfectly good things being thrown out like that. Thank you for rescuing them.

[@Marshall-s90]

I used to do this when I worked on the bins it’s shocking what big retailers throw out! There’s plenty off charity’s they could be donated too 🤬

[@jackcass5584]

Absolutely heartbreaking seeing all this go to waste so many less fortunate would have got so much joy and happiness out of those toys man if any of this is no good for you mate please donate to charity you will make a lot of children happy pal 👍🏻

[@dumpsterdivinguk]

yes i donated it to charity

[@teresadixon6288]

So many kids got nothing for Christmas hopefully they can say Santa lost his way and that's why he bought the toys late.

[@april1999apricott]

They're all broken that's why they're in the bin, missing parts, faulty Stitching, no power etc. Not fit for children's use

Lol

[@AmmoRevives]

It's not just Christmas either you find things being thrown away constantly, even charity shops, I've found a China set plates cups milk jug the lot, turned out to be worth 300 quid for the set, the whole lot was there no damage at all

[@piperthecollector]

@@AmmoRevives I've started to notice. This video was just the first one from this channel that I came across. I've been watching the more recent ones, and my level of disgust just keeps going up. Also, that sounds like a super lucky find! Nice one! And here's me thinking the hidden gems were at flea markets and antique shops! 😆

[@sheilam4525]

Just found your channel, I cannot believe how much waste there is when so many children in poor families or hospitals would love these! New subscriber👍

[@Lewis_Treff97]

First time watching and amazed at what's going to waste. Loads of stuff that could be going to charity. Although I'd be worried about being caught raiding through their bins.

[@jamiebullock2023]

It’s sad when people throw out what could still be reuseable, even with things that are in their boxes. But I’m glad to see you could try and salvage as much as possible. If we could spread the word that there are people who want something they could keep and use again and again, we could reduce the chances of Landfill and help the environment.

[@montypython989]

It’s sad that majority of places like this throw stuff away, but it’s interesting what you do find in skips or bins like this tho

[@carebear6921]

That totally breaks my head to see so much perfectly good stuff be thrown away 😢

[@Antonio-pq4fb]

Whilst I wholeheartedly agree that it's a shame to see these toys in the bin, we live in a world which is so dysfunctional that even if these were donated, someone would end up suing the company if something wasn't 100% perfect. This is why companies would rather mitigate liability by throwing things out then donating. Sad times.

[@chickenlivers9351]

Wow that's really sad thanks for the info

[@catgoeskek]

there should be some sort of policy where all warranties/guarantees are void once they are donated to a company that can then distribute them to charities/people in need

[@EchoWasTakenWasTaken]

There should be a laws for give the unsold toys for charity group.

[@markorollo.]

I had no idea this was a thing!! I go to my Smyth's often for Lego (I still build them cos I'm only 48) might go and find the bins next time lol

[@flippingforreal109]

They sprayed paint on them so no one would get them but just use paint thinner or nail polish remover and it will take of the orange pain line. It's a shame that companies do this mess too, but thanks for sharing another cool video.

[@robynforman1978]

Keep up the important work you are doing saving items from the landfill.

[@dirkboon3296]

i used to work at a transfer station, the amount of high quality stuff i found thrown away was incredible... old Dinky toys, old bakelite Viewmasters, rare vinyl LPs, valuable books etc.. the list goes on & on.

[@dumpsterdivinguk]

Thanks for sharing!

[@craigs71]

I knew a place in Scotland that recycled Amazon's waste (I'm not sure if they still do as this was 6+ years ago), staff ended up with things ranging from toy cars to RC stuff, TVs and even gardening equipment (electrical and petrol power).

[@catherineferguson7388]

What a waste, there’s so many children out there that get nothing for Christmas and birthdays, it’s heartbreaking to see the waste. Why doesn’t Smyths toy shop donate the toys instead of throwing them away. Thank you for the video xx

[@xXScalesOfSolaceXx]

The dinosaur with the glove is worth about $80 US! It's should be in perfect condition from the sounds it was making.

[@ajrf92]

I'm amazed (in the worst sense) about how shops throw away stuff that is not edible (if it was food, I'd understand for safety reasons). I understand that the unsold stuff costs money for the retailers, but it saddens me that brand new stuff ends in those places.

[@katieperry1134]

Years ago when i was a kid i lived near a toy factory that manufactured a number of toys from dolls prams, bikes, train sets etc... when it was closing down a few of us went in the skips around the back and found 5 pedal cars that were all completely useable and like new so they were all salvaged 😆👍 I also worked for a short time many years ago for a well known company that sells bicycles and if there was a problem with a bicycle it would be thrown in a skip but to stop people rescuing them from said skip the frames would have and altercation with a hacksaw😳🙁 such a waste....

[@filizjohnson2059]

First person I’ve come across who ain’t a American doing this. Why do they throw these things instead of dropping this off to a children hospitals ? My son stayed in GOSH and from time to time they’d have bags and bags of toys gifted to the wards and when I tell you the smile on these babies faces just from a small little nerf gun being gifted to them or a set of Lego was mesmerising. Shame on smyths and any other store/shop that purposely destroys things and then throws them away. Absolutely terrible.

[@robertvega3078]

Sad to see so many good toys in good condition get thrown out if I worked there I would salvage all that I can and donate it to goodwill and organizations like goodwill for kids who aren’t as fortunate

[@colinriches1519]

Money, our concepts of ownership surely have the power to expose the most disgusting human traits. It's getting to the point where we'd be better of without a society at all. I've been boycotting the biggest brands as much as possible for years now.

[@SecretOfMonkeyIsland784]

When i worked retail i would always question why working items were smashed up and thrown away and not given to staff or charity. The bosses used to always say it was to stop arguments and jealousy that would occur if they gave the items to people. They would threaten people with stealing if you took the items out of the skip as they said its still their property even when its in the bin.

[@chasel94]

This is crazy for me as someone with 2 year old twins, boy and girl these toys really ant cheap buying brand new.

[@MortalCombatMe]

Its so sad they actually just thow these things out. There millions off kids out there that would be so happy to get a wee toy. All these big companies are selfish c u n t s they only ever bother about themselves. I use to give my sons stuff to a charity the stuff we're like new as my son has alot more than he bloody needs.but I met a family at charity shop on day gave there son that 💯 electric police bike 2 keys and charger looked like new wasn't cheap the tears from the whole family made me tear up. So I decided let's take there number I keep in touch donate toys 2 or 3 times over 2 years. Now I'm going to find another family and help them out. The new family going to be in for a treat as its not just toys this time as I having a clear out and a total redecoration on my house. Keep up the videos bud good exposing them selfish idiots

[@georgeyreynolds]

I remember in the late 1990s working for Poundstretcher and we had old Christmas stock which had been sitting in the stock room for a few years. We weren't allowed to put it out for sale so it all went to the tip or in the skip. A whole trailer of the stuff was gone and had to be bent or cut up so it wouldn't be taken. Sad times. Also in the mid 2000s putting out food waste for m&s. Had to spray dye on it so homeless wouldn't eat it. But to be honest I was meant to open all the packaging and spray the toxic dye inside. I didn't do this and just nominally sprayed it over the cardboard. If someone had eaten it with the dye they'd be much worse off.

A sad reflection of the consumer society. If people keep buying it, other people will keep selling it and if there's waste in the process, then who cares, as long as there's a profit to be made somewhere. If people want to change the system, don't keep buying all this stuff.
