[size=1em]'I often go to a lot of pet stores too, and I've found everything from bags of premium dog food, and even live bugs which I feed to my lizard.'

[size=1em]She said: 'I'm a big fan of makeup and used to watch a lot of makeup tutorials on YouTube, until one day an advert for an Ulta dumpster haul came up. [size=1em]'I gave it a watch, and told my partner, Daniel, 38, that I was going to have a look in my local Ulta bins to see what I could find. [size=1em]'I was shocked to come away with boxes and boxes of makeup items, and it kind of spanned from there. [size=1em]'With the amount I was bringing home, it became overwhelming, and I filled the garage up pretty quickly. [size=1em]'I sold quite a few items on Poshmark and made about $5,000, but knew I needed a bigger space to store and re-sell items.'

[size=1em] 'A lot of them have bought items from me as well, which is nice. [size=1em]'It's insane how much big businesses and brands throw away; I hope that I'm doing enough in my area to prevent more going to landfill.'
