They now make up to $3,000 per month from dumpster diving, and post their dives on TikTok. AdvertisementAdvertisementWe make between $2,000 and $3,000 a month selling our dumpster dive trash treasures. But it's still rare that we see somebody else dumpster diving at the spots we go to in Buffalo. When some people hear the term "dumpster diving," they sometimes picture a rat-infested dumpster covered in food, or that we're digging through household trash. We view our dumpster diving efforts, particularly selling scrap metal to scrap yards, as "carbon credits" that offset the carbon emissions from our next plane flights.
