This is an interesting concept.

Artist Justin Gignac seals up NYC garbage in a solid, sealed, leakproof, see-through container. Read more about it here. You can buy one of his works for $50. It appears to be bed bug-proof. Heck, it may even have bed bugs inside. I’d pay for one of those!

Perhaps some of that stuff you just tossed out might end up in here?

Thanks to an eagle-eyed reader for the tip.Similar Posts:
