There’s a group of people in Saskatoon that proudly call themselves dumpster divers, and they’re turning the city’s trash into treasure.
There’s a group of people in Saskatoon that proudly call themselves dumpster divers, and they’re turning the city’s trash into treasure.
It’s become somewhat of an obsession for sisters Chelsey Limay and Nicole Favreau.
Jumping into the dumpsters behind stores in Saskatoon is a nighttime pursuit — that’s an attempt to remain inconspicuous.
“At night we’re out rescuing food items and repurposing,” Limay told CTV News.
The pair started about five months ago, and now go out about three times a week.
After the first couple times, they were hooked.
“It’s unbelievable, the amount of stuff. I was just like holy cow! Her whole living room was filled with stuff. I couldn’t believe it,” said Limay.
