Man made more than 1 crore by selling trash

Leonardo Urbano, a 30-year-old man from Australia, made $66,306 (PKR 18,427,186 or 1.8 crore) last year by rummaging through rubbish piles in Sydney.

He found hidden gems like Fendi bags, coffee machines, gold jewelry, and wads of cash. Common finds also included computers, Dyson vacuum cleaners, and television sets, often still in good condition.

Every morning after breakfast, Urbano would hop on a bicycle or in a car and scour the streets of Sydney, finding different surprises each day.

In Australia, local councils offer free rubbish pick-up services twice a year or more, which is when people usually discard furniture and bulkier goods on the streets, destined for landfill.

Urbano noted that households with more spending power often discard older gadgets to make space for newer models, even if they are still in working condition.
