Couple make thousands of pounds selling 'rubbish' they 'can't believe people throw away'

A couple make thousands of pounds in extra income rifling through the rubbish that people throw away and selling it on.

Melissa Drabble, 40, alongside her husband Mark, 41, have found an interesting way to get through the cost of living crisis. The couple say they go "treasure hunting every day" looking for items people thought were worthless to sell on for a profit.
