The Cuban content creator Jorge Álvarez Drake, known on social media as @el_huevito.92, has gone viral after showcasing the astonishing discoveries he made during a day of trash collecting in his neighborhood in the United States.

He explained that during these year-end events, residents typically place items they no longer wish to keep on the sidewalk, but very often they are in excellent condition.

In the video, Álvarez stops in front of a small dump filled with bicycles and toys, many of which are new or barely used. Among the most striking finds, he showcased an electric scooter in perfect condition, several toys still in their original boxes, and a pressure washer that had only a minor issue with the cord.

"We're a bunch of divers, but divers in the United States," joked the Cuban amid laughter.

The video has sparked a wave of amusing and admiring comments. Many users shared their own experiences of finding real "treasures" on the sidewalks, from furniture to electronic equipment.

"Similarly, the best thing is that one saves a little money," wrote a follower of the Cuban. The post has already garnered thousands of reactions and confirms that, indeed, one person's trash can be another's treasure.
