Hi y’all and welcome back to another dumpster diving adventure! We ventured on to the college campus to see what the students were throwing out - we found some incredible things in the trash like home decor, clothing & shoes, dorm room supplies, sealed food, and literal money!
Since the filming of this video the college has put out the big haul away dumpsters, so stay tuned for some unreal upcoming dives!
As always, thank you so much for watching and I hope you have a wonderful day! Happy diving and movin' on!

Kelley, I have a suggestion, at some point in your video if you’d ask us to subscribe it might benefit us both, I used to watch a lady shop at Aldi (I am old and alone and watching people shop is what my life has become!😂😂😂) but she would always mention subscribing near the end of her video, and the reason I mentioned this is because I noticed yesterday that a mower/lawn care guy has 2 + m subscribers, and you guys are so cute you should also have way more! I often watch videos that I don’t subscribe to simply because I don’t always think to do it and the owner hasn’t reminded me to. And yesterday I saw that one channel I watch has just gotten their plaque for 10m….family with 5 kiddos and dad is a heart surgeon, mom is a sahm. I think they only do shorts. 😊

I homeschool and my daughter is 6th grade and we are studying environmental waste so it happened that a neighbor moved out and we were once again stunned at the awesome usable even tagged and brand new things just tossed 😮( detergent, can foods, trash bags, Tupperware full of knives, on and on ) so we researched our local landfill for her assignment and it's truly never ending and so upsetting at what people just toss even when perfectly good 🤔🤨 well, you guys do a great job at helping keeping some from the landfills and also helping your community 👍👍🌟🌟 we try to do the same

I hate seeing food go to waste, I'm thankful that you and Alex save them for those less fortunate well done, I live in a small town in northern ireland and if skips where available to dive I'd do it not many homeless in my town but when I see a homeless person I buy them a sandwich and a drink rather than give the person money so they buy drink instead.

That little goldfish in the bag is so cute. I kind of think people who throw money away on purpose have never needed anything. Spoiled? The towel was probably in the mini fridge to catch any water from the freezer thawing. These were great finds!!!!! Hi Bones!😻

ok. anything electric that has gotten wet will still work as long as you LET IT DRY COMPLETELY BEFORE PLUGGING IT IN. put a heater/blower to it for a week, and if its something that opens up open it. itll dry much better. cell phones rescued from a river might still work if allowed to dry completely as long as theyre not underwater for a year.

@breafkast The pole you found with the net on it is for Lacrosse. Keep it. It's great for scooping smaller items out of the dumpster. Items that the grabber just won't grab onto. I keep one in my car.

Hi, if you have wet tech like headphones etc you can dry them out by putting them in a bag with rice. The rice absorbs all the moisture in the tech. If you have a blocked connector on a phone use blutak to remove debris. 😊

Watching this on the morning of food drive day at the post office in the town I live in. We collect several thousands of pounds of food for our local food bank today and the customers get a thank you card with a deal at a local restaurant. Thank you for saving all that food from the dumpsters! There's definitely someone out there that will appreciate having it.

Hi guys, I recently found your channel, and, I've been binge watching. I have to say, I really enjoy hanging out with you both. You really get along so well, and you "get" each other's humor. I find myself laughing more, than I have in a long time. I like the college dorm move out, it's amazing what they throw away lol. Makes me wonder, aren't they planning on wearing jeans, etc. anymore? or are they just too lazy to wash a load of clothes? Okay, I'll see you at the dumpster......
