THE PRO DUMPSTER DIVER WHO'S MAKING THOUSANDS OFF AMERICA'S BIGGEST RETAILERS
BY DAY, MATT Malone is a security specialist for Slait Consulting. By night, he earns even bigger money as a dumpster diver.
He’s not diving in just any dumpster. By targeting electronics stores, like Office Depot or Best Buy, he makes away with like-new vacuums, computers, surveillance systems—you name it. If he pursued this secondary career full-time, Malone estimates he’d make more than $250,000 a year.
Although he doesn’t object to the term “dumpster diving,” Malone prefers the term “for-profit archaeologist.” One man’s trash is this man’s treasure—because we’re conditioned to see it that way. “We can only do what we do here because we live in a society where most people have been conditioned to look past what’s right in front of them,” says Malone.
