In recognition of Earth Day 2026, we teamed up with NYC Garbage on a limited run of 100 cubes, each filled with hand-picked debris collected outside Brooklyn bodegas. Packed by hand in Bushwick, every cube is individually numbered 1–100.

We caught up with New York City Garbage founder Justin Gignac to see the process up close. What started in 2001 as a response to a conversation about packaging turned into something else entirely. Challenged to make something no one would buy, he looked to the streets of Times Square and landed on garbage. Since then, over 1,400 cubes have been sold, finding homes in more than 30 countries. Along the way, he’s released a range of limited editions capturing moments across the city, from championship runs from the NY Giants and Yankees to New Year’s Eve in Times Square.

The limited edition collection is available now online and in-store @ 176 Stanton St while supplies last.
