On June 24, 2024, a 30-year-old man named Leonardo Urbano in Australia earned around 100,000 Australian Dollars (approximately 2.16 million New Taiwan Dollars) in 2023 by dumpster diving, collecting valuable items like designer bags and clothes. Urbano practices 'dumpster diving,' a term for collecting discarded items that others might find useful, driven not only by poverty but also thriftiness, environmental consciousness, and a keen eye for value. His haul over four years includes 50 TVs, 30 fridges, 20+ washing machines, 50 computers and laptops, 15 sofas, 50 vacuum cleaners, over 150 pots, and more. Urbano sells these items after refurbishing them, earning him a substantial income and enabling him to furnish his home cost-free.
