Overview
- Justin Gignac collected litter from outside Madison Square Garden after the July 3 wedding and sealed selected items into 50 airtight “Pocket Garbage” cubes priced at $25 each, which sold out within 24 hours.
- The cubes contained everyday refuse such as cigarette butts, paper cups, plastic straws, scraps of fabric, an ovulation test kit, candy wrappers and a single left AirPod.
- Gignac said he was not invited to the ceremony and that all material was gathered from outside the private, NDA-restricted event, and there are no reported legal actions tied to the sale.
- A short TikTok clip and media posts amplified interest—Gignac reported the video drew roughly 800,000 views—and buyers described as Swift fans purchased the limited pieces quickly.
- The project continues Gignac’s long-running practice of packaging event litter as collectible time capsules and underscores how viral attention can turn discarded items into a secondary market for celebrity ephemera.
