A woman has revealed how she managed to make a profit by selling other people's rubbish.
Emily, who is known online as @girlwithapowerdrill, revealed how she found furniture people threw out and turned it into cash.
"After a full day of digging in people's trash I had a haul.
"I had furniture in my backyard, in my carport, in my living room, in my guest bedroom. I didn't even know how I was going to store all of this stuff," Emily explained.
Because she took home so much, she decided to try and sell off the things that only need a quick clean first.
"This stuff came from the trash so it was nasty, but I got to work with my degreaser, scrubbed it all down with a brush and used my hose to clean it off," she said.
After the built up dirt and grime has been removed she decided to spray paint some of the items to give them a new lease of life.
Meanwhile, some of the other furniture pieces were clean and ready to list online after only a wipe down.
