Dumpster dive


Dumpster diving these days has become mainstreamed on the justification that throw away items should not be discarded on a fashion basis.

When you find trolleys in Singapore wrapped in canvas , these are properties of dumpster divers

 






If dumpster diving becomes a regularised affair you will find the condition of Japanese Yakusa running these. Yakusa is somewhat like mafia or Hui Kwan. A bit like a trade union.

There are famous commercial used item trade union from Japan like Disk Union that sells vinyl records




Also famous is the used book franciser called BookOff

 
We will be looking forward for a Japanese style formality in upcycle goods Soo said.

BookOff sells other types of used items there than books based of the locality of the franchisee.some can be stronger in CDs others computer games, some are strong in watches and the list goes on !

The book upcycle industry is so big that you have a village dealing with it




We will be seeing a growth in upcycle goods in the near future because a new consciousness in producing less and discarding less is inevitable.
