One Person’s Trash Is Another Person’s Treasure (35 Pics)
We’ve all heard the phrase, “One person’s trash is another person’s treasure”, but one Instagram account has taken it to the next level. “Stooping” is a popular way for New Yorkers to find or get rid of something without throwing it away or donating it to a thrift store.
I haven’t gone stooping but I have definitely picked up a perfectly good couch that someone was throwing away. I wish people near me were trying to get rid of stuff like this.
One person’s trash is another person’s treasure.
