Rummaging through luxury waste: what the rich discard today

In recent years, Simon Mills has gained notoriety as a skiptomaniac, a term he uses to describe his passion for scavenging through discarded items left by the affluent. His adventures have taken place primarily in urban areas where wealth is concentrated, allowing him to uncover a variety of valuable and unique possessions. Over the past decade, Mills has collected an impressive array of items, including vintage luggage, high-end audio equipment, and stylish home decor. His finds reflect not only the tastes of the wealthy but also the throwaway culture prevalent in modern society. This phenomenon raises questions about consumerism and the value placed on material goods, as well as the environmental implications of waste. Mills' experiences highlight a growing trend of reusing and recycling, encouraging others to consider the potential treasures that may be found in what is often deemed trash.
