Many folks have switched professions since the pandemic began but I haven't heard of any one picking up this job. A Texas mother has quit her job after she discovered she could make $1,000 a week reselling items she finds in dumpsters. "Dumpster diving" is her new gig!

Tiffany She'ree quit her cafeteria job when she started making more dumpster diving. Now, this is specialty dumpster diving, not regular trash. She only hits dumpsters of places like inside dumpsters outside stores like Bath & Body Works, Victoria’s Secret, Party City, and Michael’s.

Right now, She'ree makes anywhere from $800-$1,000 a week. She resells the discarded items on her website and on social media. Not a bad gig!

If you're looking for a side hustle and don't mind getting dirty this may work for ya! Check out her Instagram and TikTok pages for the scoop.
