The Cuban content creator, Jorge Álvarez Drake, who goes by the username @el_huevito.92 on social media, has captured widespread attention after showcasing the astonishing items he discovered during a neighborhood trash collection day in the United States.

Álvarez explained that at the end of the year, residents often place unwanted items on the curb, many of which are in excellent condition. This particular practice has revealed unexpected finds.

In his video, Álvarez pauses in front of a small pile of discarded goods, uncovering an array of bicycles and toys, several of which appear new or barely used. Among the most remarkable discoveries were an electric scooter in impeccable condition, numerous toys still in their original packaging, and a pressure washer with only a minor cable defect.

"We're like divers, but divers in America," the Cuban jested, laughing at the situation.

The video has sparked a wave of humorous comments and admiration. Many viewers shared their own experiences of finding real "treasures" on curbsides, ranging from furniture to electronic devices.

"Exactly, and the best part is you save money," a follower commented. The post has garnered thousands of reactions, confirming that indeed, one person's trash can truly be another's treasure.
