Sale of garbage through the machine can also be profitable.

37-year-old Christopher Goodwin works as a garbage truck driver. He crawls on his knees, picking up small trash and shoves it into transparent plastic capsules. And successfully sells these junk balls!

At the end of 2005, Goodwin invented Trashball, which glorified him so much that the story of the scavenger artist was published by the New York Times and passed on to the BBC.

He installed in one theatrical cafe a vending machine from those called “gumball machines”.

Usually with such machines everything is predictable: you throw coins and get candy gum. And the version of Christopher allows you to receive unexpected garbage in balls with a diameter of 1.54 cm - 6.5 rubles (25 US cents) apiece. And today, about three thousand capsules with trash have been bought up: a receipt from an ATM. Polaroid picture of the 1970s. Danish coin. African postage stamp. A pair of yellowed wisdom teeth. The old leaflet "Aeroflot". Written napkin from the restaurant. Telegram, dryly announcing the birth of a boy. Broken toy Page from the diary of the girl.
