We are fans of the three R’s, that is, we like the concept of reduce, reuse and recycle. That is why the story of two girls who have dedicated themselves to collecting objects of great value among the garbage not only seems to us a way to avoid excessive consumption, it also gives us an example of entrepreneurship, because after digging through the garbage they have arrived to win five thousand dollars.
According to the newspaper Daily Mailthis pair of women from Pennsylvania, United States, earn a salary selling objects they find in the garbage and the truth is that many of us would like to earn that per month, since both women assured the British media that, in their searches, they have found luxury items like Michael Kors shoes or Louis Vuitton handbags.
Veronica Taylor, 32, shared that she started digging through dumpsters just as a hobby with her friend Elizabeth Wilson, 38. However, over time they realized that their hobby could become a source of income. income.
According to Veronica, as a full-time garbage collector, she earns around five thousand dollars a month for rescuing items from garbage cans that may be luxury items that people and even stores throw away left and right.
We found Louis Vuitton, Michael Kors objects. That’s in thrift stores and we figured there’s no way they were thrown away. We assume that older people who work in stores and don’t know much about brands are the ones who throw them away.
Added to this, Veronica and Liz consider that this activity is fantastic, because they are not only looking forward to the “treasures” that they can find and resell, but they also share a good time together while walking from city to city.
It’s fantastic. It’s really like a treasure hunt. You have no idea what you’re going to find and I can wander around with my friend and at the same time make a living finding things.
It should be noted that it is no secret to anyone that in the United States it is very common to find luxurious or almost new objects in the trash and that some people are dedicated to collecting and selling them, mainly to be sent to Mexico and thus obtain income. . This could also mean less consumerism for no reason and less pollution to the planet, don’t you think?
