Dumpster divers go viral after finding live fish thrown into trash TikTok: ugckatehahn32A group of first-time dumpster divers has gone viral on TikTok after finding a box full of live fish outside their local PetSmart in Idaho. Dumpster diving is the practice of sifting through commercial or residential waste to find items that have been discarded but are still useful or valuable. Although sometimes stigmatized, it is a method some individuals use to reduce waste, repurpose items, and in some cases, secure necessities like food and clothing. Two new dumpster divers decided to record their first experience diving into dumpsters at their local PetSmart store in Idaho where they ended up finding more than just trash\u2026 Dumpster divers find box of live fish A TikTok by the name of Katie filmed her and a friend finding a box full of individually packed live Betta fish in a dumpster. Kate captioned the post: \u201cFound this the dumpster at my local Petsmart\u201d and added in the video: \u201cFirst time dumpster diving and this is what we found\u2026\u201d In a second video, Katie updated viewers on what\u2019d happened. She said she decided to dumpster dive at PetSmart because she heard stories about the store tossing away \u201cbags full of dog food, collars, leashes, and stuff that could\u2019ve been donated.\u201d While looking for these items, however, she said she stumbled across a box labeled \u201clive fish.\u201d Out of curiosity, she said she and a friend opened the box and discovered the Betta fish. Kate said that she initially didn\u2019t know what to do, as she couldn\u2019t \u201ctop off the cups\u201d with water because the fish required \u201cspecial drops.\u201d She also said that she couldn\u2019t house that many fish herself. With both PetSmart and Petco closed at the time of her discovery, she posted a video of the fish to Snapchat, alerting anyone who viewed it. Confused about what to do with all of the fish as they were unable to bring them home themselves, they soon saw two PetSmart workers walk to the cars. Kate and her friend quickly ran to the workers, who were horrified by what they were told. The employees claimed the fish in the dumpster was a mistake, and one ultimately ended up taking them home. \u201cI really hope it was a mistake. I hope they take it seriously and whoever made this mistake is let go,\u201d Kate said.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
