Dumpster Living

 The dean of University College Jeff Wilson (aka Professor Dumpster) lives in a green dumpster behind the women’s residence halls in a back corner of Huston-Tillotson University’s campus in Austin, Texas. Almost everything he owns is in his 36-square-foot dumpster, which is sanctioned and supported by the university as part of an ongoing sustainability-focused experiment called The Dumpster Project.

“The big hypothesis we’re trying to test here is, can you have a pretty darn good life on much, much less? This is obviously an outlier experiment. But so far, I have, I’d say. A better life than I had before.”
