Leonardo Urbano, a 30-year-old man from Australia, has earned about $2.16 million Taiwanese dollars by collecting trash, including cash, designer bags, vacuum cleaners, and even gold jewelry, on the streets of Sydney. He uses the money to pay rent and decorates his rented place. Urbano, self-proclaimed as the 'garbage lawyer,' advocates for giving garbage a second chance at life and has been making a living from scavenging trash for the past four years. He repairs and sells some items or gives them away, even finding forgotten cash in clothes or bags. Last year alone, Urbano collected over 50 TVs, 30 refrigerators, 50 vacuum cleaners, paintings, antiques, and over 150 potted plants, earning him the title of 'Trash Millionaire.'
