about Justin

I’m 26 years old and moved

to the big city from Norwich,
Connecticut eight years ago.
My affinity for garbage blossomed
while attending the School of
Visual Arts in New York City.
I graduated in 2002.

When I’m not on the streets collecting

trash, I keep myself busy as an art
director in the advertising industry.

I can be reached at 646.303.2322
