You Might Be Buying Trash On Amazon

Why your Amazon purchase could come from the garbage dumpsters.

NEW YORK CITY -- Wall Street Journal investigation finds Amazon.com selling actual “dumpster trash.” Some Amazon third-party sellers sell second-hand products as new on the site-some even claim to sell products they found while digging through garbage dumpsters. The Wall Street Journal set out to test their claims by setting up an Amazon storefront and gathering some trash.

Items you purchase on Amazon.com that you think are new might actually have been packaged by dumpster divers who scour trash bins to find food items they can repackage and sell on Amazon, a shocking Wall Street Journal investigation has found. The bombshell investigation reveals that Amazon.com is literally selling dumpster trash as “new” food and dietary supplements.

“Late one night several days before the store opened, reporters with flashlights and blue latex gloves visited Clifton, Clark and Paramus, N.J., scouring dumpsters behind outlets such as a Michaels craft store and a Trader Joe’s grocery,” reports the WSJ. “The bins were a humid mess of broken glass and smashed boxes, a stench of rot in the air. Several products were in original packaging, some soiled with coffee grounds, moldy blackberries or juice from a bag of chicken thighs.”

Among the trash, WSJ reporters found a jar of discarded lemon curd from Trader Joe’s. The Journal cleaned and packed the three items—bubble-wrapping and taping the curd jar—and mailed them to an Amazon warehouse in Pennsylvania in September and October. The Journal completed Amazon’s documentation requirements by specifying the items’ universal product codes, the numbers next to bar codes on most products. Amazon didn’t ask about the inventory’s origins or sell-by dates... Read The Full Story at Wall Street Journal.

Deaf Dancer Antoine Hunter Helps DropLabs

Deaf activist and choreographer Antoine Hunter helps DropLabs develop their first product for the dancer community.

Antoine Hunter, Advisory Board Member for DropLabs, talks about his experience with music, helping develop DropLabs' first product, EP 01 and refining DropLabs Technology™. Antoine is a Deaf activist, dancer, and choreographer. He runs the Urban Jazz Dance Company, as well as the Bay Area Deaf International Dance Festival. Some words from the interview with Antoine Hunter.

Is there an early memory you’d like to share about when you first discovered your passion for dancing?

The first time that I realized dance was the way to communicate with people, I was in high school. And I took dance class. One day my teacher said, "Hey, you all have to work together with a project and create a dance." Nobody wanted to dance with me. No one wanted to work with me. I told my teacher and she said, "Well, why don't you go ahead and create a solo?"

So, I got the music: Whitney Houston, "I Will Always Love You." I got on stage and the music was playing. She was singing. I was just rocking side to side, feeling cold and alone. I was moving all over the room. When the instrumental break hit, it felt like lightning was hitting my body. The fire, the water, the wind. Every element that's alive was shooting through my body. I didn't know what I was doing but I remember when the music stopped. I was catching my breath. All the students watching me, they didn't say anything but then everyone started applauding. My teacher asked everyone what I felt. They said it felt like he was cold and alone. I was like, "That's right!" I knew from then on, dance was the way to communicate.

From there on, I fell in love. I wanted to do Russian dance, Indian dance, hip-hop, everything. I wasn't thinking about my career; I was just thinking it was a way to express myself. Like each dance was like a different language I wanted to learn.
