Trash: Every morning in India people stand in line in front of garbage vehicles and throw their garbage in them. But will you believe me if I tell you that some people are becoming millionaires from this garbage? Let us tell you today how a person became a millionaire in a year by selling garbage.

How to earn 55 lakhs in a year?

Garbage may be useless for you, but for 30-year-old Leonardo Urbano, who lives in Sydney, Australia, it is no less than a treasure. With the help of this garbage, Urbano earned Rs 55 lakh in a year. In fact, Leonardo Urbano has made it his job in a way. Every morning after breakfast, he goes to the city to find useful garbage. Wherever he sees a pile of garbage in different areas of the city, he sorts out the saleable items and sells them in the market. By doing this, Leonardo Urbano earned Rs 55 lakh in a year.

He calls his work dumpster diving

Talking to CNBC, Leonardo says that what I do is called dumpster diving. Leonardo has been doing this for the last four years. He says that every day he takes out useful things from the garbage heap, cleans and repairs them and sells them in the market. Many times he also finds many valuable things in the garbage heap. Leonardo Urbano says that once he found a coffee machine in a garbage heap. Once gold jewellery and cash were also found there.

People do this in India too

It is not that Leonardo is the only one doing this. In India too, many people earn millions by selling garbage. However, these people work like an organization. That is, it has many layers. Like one group collects garbage from homes, shops and streets. While the other group buys this pile of garbage and divides it into different parts i.e. separates metals like plastic, iron, copper and sells it to big scrap dealers. Big scrap dealers process all this waste, make raw material from it and supply it to other companies. In this way, people from bottom to top earn money from your garbage.
