This is fucking gross but interesting???

Well I happened upon this on the front of my youtube page. I work at an Ulta. And I spent hours with my coworkers cleaning boxes, broken glass, cardboard, packaging, and in general trash thrown bout of the dumpster from divers. Although we tried to clean it all, we actually had to put a ticket in and hire a cleaner to come in and pick up the trash off the ground when it got so bad. It also happened during a storm, so everything was rotten on the ground we had to clean up and put back in the dumpster. I pray on my and my coworker's time and effort you did NOT litter around the dumpsters. Yes, most dumpster divers throw it out of the dumpster to be able to actually get through the trash, but for the love of god its so awful on US to clean up after. Just an opinion on the other side of the dumpster.

It's so intressting how something can have so high value when it is in a store, and be seen as something so "worthless", "discusting", when it is no more. really intressting just questioning how the human brain works, the content in the bottle will still be the same that it was just in the store. Intressting how fast the materiall valu shifts

FORMER ULTA PRESTIGE MANAGER HERE! I don't give AF if you dumpster dive. I think it's a good recycling program 😂😂 and we did throw away a lot of perfectly good things. Prestige items are ridiculously overpriced so I get it. Please tho ---- DO NOT use used mascaras or lip glosses or anything liquidy with a wand that is supposed to be opened and applied. I've seen sick toddlers 'play' with these and tons of people put them directly on their lips without tester wands. The wand could have fallen directly on the dirty floor and that is why we threw it away. You could get sick 😷 or get pink eye or an infection pretty easily. But if that's the chance you want to take so be it.🤐 Pretty much anything else --eyeshadow, powder, lipsticks, cream compacts -can be sanitized and do not breed bacteria as easily. Just clean with alcohol for atleast 30 seconds and scrape away several layers of the product. Anything like a foundation or skin care item that is in a sealed pump is ok too.. just FYI trying to help!!😀 A few years ago ulta employees were allowed to take home used testers (as did I - I mean except for mascaras n such) and most of us did...so any of them who are complaining...pot/ kettle✌🏻️

I think it's gross but GOD DAMMIT I WANT TO GO

That moment when realize that you live down the street from an Ulta lol

this is actually really cool cause when u think about it it helps both the world an her out

omg ur genius i'm about to walk my ass to the mall and jump in a dumpster

ATTENTION COMMENTS SECTION, I could not care any less about these expensive brands. I have never and would never buy them so no I don't know how to pronounce them. Get your nose out of the air and take it somewhere else. Find some value outside of the brands you can pronounce.

I just came across your channel by accident, and I'm so glad I did! I absolutely love what your doing, especially for the environment! It's so crazy to me how much stuff is thrown out and wasted, I'm so glad there are people like you trying to make a difference for our future!

#COLLEGEHACKS IM IN COLLEGE PLUS BROKE AF, THIS IS A LIFE HACK A NEW WAY OF LIVING, IM ABOUT TO GO HAUL MY ASS OF TO THE DUMPSTERS

Why do I keep on thinking she literally dived into the dumpster like a swimmer all elegant and shit

literally about to go to fucking ulta and dumpster dive me some new shit.

Cheapskate

So crazy to see how much you've grown!! It is 2022 right now :) just started my channel and I love seeing the first videos from my favorite KZfaqrs😍😍

COULD YOU DO A VIDEO ON HOW TO SANITIZE THESE??

I don't want to sound negative but aren't you just a little bit curious as to why the "good" products have been thrown in the bin?

I don't think you can disinfect cream products. Just a heads up. :\

my hubby used to go dumpster diving at different locations... he got some amazing stuff for me and our family that we needed.

i'm a dumpster diver and i don't think it's gross but i do think making youtube videos about it isn't a good idea bc as word gets out, the stores will start hardcore destroying product or they'll lock their dumpsters or get compactors :( keep to more lowkey sites like reddit and specific facebook groups to talk about it and post ur hauls. as more and more ppl talk about this, i've seen like 6 other divers at my usual place. it's getting competitive so if i were you i'd keep to yourself!!

how many ulta points do you get every time you visit the dumpster

I just asked my mom if she would help me dumpster dive at ulta and she was like "you betcha" heck yas

how awesome is this?! I am an environmental activist from alaska- my great grandma raised me and we used to go on walks all the time and pass a dump she would look around to see what she can find and if it was cool we would take it! I have so many memories of finding all kinds of stuff that were just like new!! enjoyed your video

i wouldnt use any makeup from the dumpster, you could get so many different infections/illnesses from that but i think perfumes would be fine. id especially stay away from any lip products and eye products, as you can easily get an infection there.

Honestly i think this is pretty freakin awesome. Most of the products are perfectly fine and go to waste. Man like when im in college and dont have a lot of money im doin this whos down

I work for Beauty Brands and it makes me so happy that we donate so much. There are rules about what isn't sanitary to donate (like lipsticks and mascaras), but my job gives so much to women's shelters which I think is amazing!

how do you know for sure that the mascaras haven't been used if they aren't in a box or have a seal? I would think you're safe with powder products or perfumes but any cream/foundation/mascara would have so much bacteria in it.

Isn't it in the trash for a reason? , not trying to get smart or anything but if it's any face products that got thrown away or returned & thrown away wouldn't you think some things wrong w/ it? & once again I'm not trying to be smart it's a legit question

This smart as he'll I'm about do walk to ulta and jump my ass jn a dumpster

Givenchy is pronounced "ji-vahn-shee."

Honestly this is smart because your using unwanted products and saving money which is a win win situation

From a retail worker point of view, stores throw away NEW AND NEVER OPENED OR USED, all types of products! Majority of the used items are testers and or returns that are still usable but are no longer store standards to sell. Unfortunately stores won't even give the items to employees. I think "dumpster diving" is looked at as gross because of the act of going into a dumpster BUT the items being salvaged are NOT garbage. I think this is great! It's a way to salvage some waste that retail stores produce.

when u pronounce all the brands incorrectly GURL

Dumpster diving isn't illegal? hmm.... didn't know that....

This is honestly so cool. I'm amazed at how much non used/barely used stuff is thrown away. Never crossed my mind to dumpster dive at ulta but you bet your bottom dollar I will now

I applaud you for dumpster diving as a way to help the environment. It's a cool thing to do that not many people are aware of. As everyone can see, you're very dedicated to helping the environment, yet, you use makeup products and brands that use animal testing. Just a thought...

Dumpster Diving and the Law We aren’t lawyers but this is our best understanding as plain-old US citizens. Dumpster diving is legal in the United States except where prohibited by local regulation. According to a 1988 Supreme Court Ruling (California vs. Greenwood), when a person throws something out, that item is now the public domain. Here is some language from that ruling: “It is common knowledge that plastic garbage bags left on or at the side of a public street are readily accessible to animals, children, scavengers, snoops, and other members of the public.” However, if a dumpster is against a building or inside a fenced enclosure marked “No Trespassing,” you could be questioned, ticketed or even arrested by the police. Other law-enforcement tactics to discourage dumpster diving include: - to ticket or arrest for littering (hence the legal as well as common courtesy reason to leave a trash area neater than you found it!); - to ticket or arrest for disorderly conduct, if you are blocking a sidewalk or generally creating a ruckus while dumpster diving, or refuse to leave an area when requested to do so. Unless a town or city has specifically made dumpster diving illegal, generally the police will not come unless called by a store manager or property owner. In our experience, this is yet another good reason to be courteous with any store employee (or resident with a dumpster) who questions the dumpster diving in progress, and to use common sense about how long an individual or group stays at any one trash location. If anyone asks you to leave, consider doing so, even if the law is on your side- there are plenty of other wasted resources to be found. Good Samaritan Law: No Excuses for Not Donating Store managers will claim that food in their dumpster cannot legally be consumed by humans, or that they cannot donate or give it away. This is either ignorance or lies. If you have the patience to educate, you may want to bring up the Good Samaritan Food Donation Act that has has been the law since the 1990s. Some people suggest telling store managers you are collecting food to feed livestock or for a compost pile and if you don’t want to make a political point on the waste this will usually work. Some managers will even tell you when certain items are discarded (ie; produce), and encourage you to come get them. The main thing that food stores are worried about is¬† someone getting sick from what they throw away, and then suing them. There is backlash in a number of communities on the issue of “theft” of recyclables from city recycling bins. Metal can often be sold at prices that make scavenging aluminum (especially cans with a fixed deposit), old appliances, and even power cords a viable cottage industry. A number of cities now have laws against this kind of dumpster diving with a vehicle. Most cities will not harass the small-scale scavenger with a granny cart or bicycle. “Warning, do not play on in or around dumpster” - such signs are for the protection of the people who own or rent the dumpsters, in case someone gets hurt, to avoid liability. Wikipedia on dumpster legality Includes some info on the legal situation in Europe and Canada. Supreme Court ruling on dumpster diving When it ruled in the Gravewood decision in 1988, the US Supreme Court was looking to protect cops, not dumpster divers. Nonetheless, their ruling is the overall US law, unless a municipality specifically makes trash picking illegal. “Paghat the RatGirl” on dumpster legalities Well thought through for the US.

how are you gonna sanitize the moisturizer

I have been watching DD videos for months. I finally got up the courage to go 2 weeks ago & was so excited with just the little things I got. I love all the stuff from Ulta that you got. Awesome. Ive found a couple of eye shadows that were testers & pretty full & some face cream that was almost empty.. Thanks for sharing & love watching.

GOING DUMPSTER DIVING AT MAC,SEPHORA,& ULTA NOW!!!

OMFG IVE WANT THE ANASTASIA CONTOUR KIT FOR THE LONGEST TIME AND I JUST ORDERED IT AND YOURE SAYING I COULDVE GOTTEN IT FOR FREE IF I DIVED IN A FUCKING TRASHCAN SHOOOOOK

"my girlfriend likes colognes" *subscribes*

Love this! Such a great idea. This is a right up my alley kind of thing.

I think dumpster diving is gross but I still low key want to do it😂😂😂

the way she pronounced the perfumes made me cringe

*PSA* if you're going to dumpster dive, please make sure you're not trespassing.

I FREAKING LOVE YOU ! I NEVER THOUGHT ABOUT DOING THIS ! I ALWAYS GO DUMPSTER DIVING AND FOUND SOME COOL STUFF . THIS IS GREAT IDEA !

This is really cool. I want to do this but I dont think my parents will let me !!!! LOL

I don't see about how this is bad, just as long as she doesn't use lipstick cause who knows who mouths/lips they have touched

Do you know if Ulta is allowed to sell used return items or not? Because I heard from a friend that it's not allowed but I've seen used products on the shelves at my local store, especially in clearance bins.

Omg I've never thought of this or never seen anyone do this and I love this idea it's so good for the environment and very good for saving money also I can't wait to try

WHO WANTS TO GO TO ULTA AND DUMPSTER DIVE?! 😉

I guess I found the weird side of KZfaq😂😂😂

is this considered illegal to do? not trying to through shade, but I really wanna go, just don't wanna get popped with a fine or something lol

I think dumpster diving is amazing because it allows people who cant afford the things society pressures them into wanting to be able to get it and be proud of what they have found. There are so many ways to sanitize things that this is completely worth it. My sister (who I look up to with my whole heart) dumpster dives to stay alive and for that I am forever grateful that they are there. I am for sure going to do this as soon as I can because I never thought about doing this with makeup. Thank you for introducing this to me. - product I want: Paris Chanel no 5 or the cream contour kit!! (ps thank you sm for introducing this to me!!!)

Isn't dumpster diving illegal? 😭 lowkey wanna do it but I ain't tryna go to jail😩

I think they throw their returns out once a month. don't quote me tho lol...dumpster diving is AMAZING..I wanna do it

I really think you are helping the planet and is amazing I want to thank you and others for what you do to help its little but it adds up

This is GENIUS! Love that your applying Freegan ideologies to makeup n beauty!!

I don't think this is gross this is actually really cool!!!

The only thing I'd be worried about is using used makeup because diseases can definitely transfer. Especially tester products..I would just sanitize as best as possible. Otherwise, this is so smart.

"Gi- vent-chee" oml im dead

what time did u go? like late at night? or early in the am? or when>>

I want to go to dumpster diving! Who's wit me?!

I'm ok with dumpster divers, but with makeup? I think they would still have it in the store if it was ok... If they were thrown out then they should probably have something wrong with them or be contaminated. Not trying to be smart or anything, but I wouldn't do that if I were you... (No hate)

Being a freeganism is EVERYTHING 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

This is so great for the environment and decreases waste. Who cares if they think it's gross. Free unused makeup is good free makeup to me. Love it girl -L'ancome Mascara ❤

My poor black ass even knows it's gee-von-shee

Givenchy is actually pronounced more French like "jee-von-shee"

first time watching one of your vids and I think this is pretty dope. Honestly, it isn't disgusting for you to dig this stuff out, it's disgusting that Ulta would be so wasteful. Also, obviously you clean this stuff so it's all good. TBH I could see myself doing this. XD Awesome idea girl.

I subscribed to you after watching this!!! I love this video sm❤️❤️

I agree that it's good for the planet but what do you do to sanitize the cosmetic products because it wouldn't be good for your skin to put that makeup on after being used or unsealed in a dumpster no hate just wanting to know what you use to sanitize.

I used to work at dicks sporting goods and if people returned clothes that didn't have a tag or receipt we had to toss them. it killed me. because shit was so pricey! Like soooo many coats and stuff. and shoes. it sucked.

I'm really interested but one question, do you clean the makeup and how?

i just found your videos and i love them! your awesome and super smart for doing this. thank you for shairing this with us. definitly subscribing 😄

I found a full Marc Jacobs Daisy perfume once. And a box full of the samples that they threw out. The important thing to remember is to clean all the stuff you find. Pallets and anything that will get near your eyes. I cleaned everything by spraying it with alcohol. Some products were new in the box. Just be careful and disinfect your whole body when dumpster diving. I don't go anymore but maybe in the future I will try again. Another good spot is Staples. They tend to dump everything that seems damaged but is still usable. The Clear one is for red colors to not bleed past your lip line.

My mom went dumpster diving and got working beats no joke

what if some of the products are expired? ik some are brand new but it could still be expired, just not used

my mum does it and she doesn't do it with makeup store but loves it and gets so much enjoyment out of it and is such a clever idea I would love one of the foundations as run completely out and mum has no money at the moment would help so much love ur videos xx

The way she said 'Dolce' and 'Givenchy' made me wanna die

could you do like a vlog style video of you actually finding the products? just so we can see how you go about dumpster diving? this is a neat idea but I would like to see how you did it! thanks!

Can you explain how you sanitize them? Do you spray it with alcohol? Thanks. :)

this is super resourceful! as long as you clean everything well. i wish i had the patience to do this!

OMF I CANT BELIEVE U FOUND A CHANEL PERFUME ASDFGHJKL

you go dumpster diving do people make fun of you when i pick up a pop bottle off the ground i get called a garbage picker y is that im native

I forgot to mention I've thought about dumpster diving before, I do and did think this was awesome to see and watch. And kinda gives me a spark to want to go do some myself.

how do you clean the makeup to make sure you don't get infections? and stuff

This is actually cool

Lancôme isn't an old lady brand. lol Its a luxury brand of make up, a higher step up from what people consider high end makeup. Such as TooFaced and Urban Decay. Lancôme is up there with brands like Chanel and Dior. Most of the stuff you see in Macy's around the make up counters. Also a lot of people love Lancôme because of the variety in shades of foundation that they have. I promise I don't mean this rudely at all. 💕 Just wanted to share that Lancôme isn't an old lady brand. ✨

My coworker told me about that. So were most of the products in boxes? Did you wear gloves or do they have their own dumpster?

Omg! This is super funny to me, I love to find amazing stuff in dumpsters and my boyfriend used to be grossed about it, but now he is just over it, sometimes even help me to carry things. Love your videos, keep going girl!! 😊🌎💖

Isn't illegal to dumpster dive?

I am just SHOCKED that they would throw all this stuff out. I thought they had to return to the manufacturer or something? Props to you if you can use it. And there are cosmetics cleaners you can send all the stuff to so you can use it without a worry anyway.

that lancôme foundation, the Teint idole, is one of the best foundations I've used. I have a serious makeup collection and I am foundation obsessed. I easily have 40+ foundations and the Teint Idole is soooo good!

This was so neat. I think dumpster diving is a great way to help reduce landfills. I was in environmental science and we watched videos on dumpster diving. I would love -the cream contour kit light-medium or anyof them. A foundation amscara or lippies. Honestly anything i would be grateful to get!

Coming from a germaphobe this is amazing 😂 some things I wouldn't trust because I don't know how to sanitize anything but I would definitely use the perfumes those were so amazing 😍 and some of the unopened products, I've never 'dumpster dived' but my grandpa does it all the time and I think this is amazing, it's crazy what people throw away, thank you for sharing your experience 😘✨

Why don't these places donate these items to a womens shelter or safe house instead of destroying/ tossing them?! Makes me so mad 😡

Bottles are so pretty!!!!!! Know what this world is very waste full and you are awesome and saving our plant !!!! I am a Dumpster diver to but I do furnisher! we are awesome recycler's!
