A Pennsylvania woman has turned dumpster diving into a lucrative business after discovering that authentic designer items are often tossed away.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Veronica Taylor, 32, of Quakertown, Pennsyvlania<\/a>, teamed up with her friend Liz Wilson, 38, to sell the salvaged items on the auction app WhatNot and on live-streamed auctions.<\/p>\n

“It’s really like a real-life treasure hunt,” Taylor told the news agency SWNS.\u00a0<\/p>\n

“It’s fantastic.”\u00a0<\/p>\n

Taylor began dumpster diving with Wilson in June 2022.<\/p>\n

Initially, Taylor said it was “just a hobby,” finding the unusual activity<\/a> to be “so much fun.” By February 2023, it was her full-time gig, she said.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Among Taylor’s finds: a Louis Vuitton wallet<\/a> and designer shoes, she told the news agency.<\/p>\n

She donates most food and hygiene products to charity, she said.\u00a0<\/p>\n

“You have no idea what you’re going to find,” she told SWNS. “And I can hang out with my best friend and make a living from finding things.”\u00a0<\/p>\n

Taylor splits the sales with Wilson and claimed to be making a full-time income from dumpster diving.<\/p>\n

“I want to say we’ve been getting $4,000 to $5,000 a month,” she told SWNS about the women’s work. “It’s definitely not worth working a real job for.”\u00a0<\/p>\n

Dumpster diving, Taylor said, “gives you so much freedom.”\u00a0<\/p>\n

Taylor and Wilson now travel from city to city, exploring dumpsters in “rich-people neighborhoods” and at thrift shops, they said.<\/p>\n

“We find Louis Vuitton, Michael Kors,” said Taylor. “That’s in thrift stores. We thought, ‘There’s no way this was in the dumpster.'”\u00a0<\/p>\n

Taylor and Wilson said they “assume it’s older people working in the stores who don’t know much about the brands and throw them out.”<\/p>\n

She continued, “It really is like being on vacation all the time. The typical places that we do really well at we go [to] every single night \u2014 10 p.m. to 3 a.m., usually.”<\/p>\n

During live-streamed auctions, customers bid on items as they are discovered, SWNS said.\u00a0<\/p>\n

The money made is “100% profit,” noted Taylor. “We pretty much take any offer.”\u00a0<\/p>\n

“We also give a lot away, too, and that’s why our supporters keep coming back. They know we hook them up,” she said.\u00a0<\/p>\n

“Another reason why auctions are so enticing [is] because every item starts at a dollar,” said Taylor.<\/p>\n

“We do a big auction every Saturday and then multiple pop-ups throughout the week.”<\/p>\n

The larger auctions feature over 100 items, whereas the pop-up auctions have between 40 and 70, she said.\u00a0<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
