Artist Justin Gignac is working on a unique art project titled “New York City Garbage”: for years, he has been collecting whatever trash he can find around venues where major events take place. He did the same around Madison Square Garden, where Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce were married last week.

The artist offered about 1,300 boxes of trash for sale, and they found buyers very quickly: in barely 24 hours, the trash—priced at $25 (about 22 euros) per box—found buyers. Those buyers came from 30 different countries.

According to the New York Post, the trash included cigarette butts, water bottle caps, candy wrappers, police tape, straws, and cutlery.

“There’s trash on the floor after the party. Collected on the fringes of a love story outside Madison Square Garden, as close to Taylor & Travis’s big day as you could get without an invitation,” reads the website where the trash boxes were offered for sale. “This is the debut of Pocket Garbage, so you can take a piece of the most beautiful day of your… I mean, of their lives, with you wherever you go.”

On July 3, actor Adam Sandler officiated the wedding of Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce at the iconic sports and music venue Madison Square Garden in New York. Among the approximately 1,000 guests at the wedding were superstars such as Brad Pitt, Ed Sheeran, Reese Witherspoon, and Steven Spielberg.
