Justin Gignac is a New York City-based artist and entrepreneur. He began selling garbage in 2001 after a co-worker challenged the importance of package design. To prove them wrong, he set out to find something no one would ever buy and package it for sale. Looking around the dirty streets of Times Square, garbage was the perfect answer. Since then, over 1,600 NYC Garbage cubes have been sold and now reside in 30 countries worldwide.

In addition to original New York City Garbage, Gignac has also produced a number of limited-edition cubes. Most recently, a Bodega Edition collab with Only NY. Past editions include: The 2026 NYC Pride March, the Nathan’s Famous International Hot Dog Eating Contest in Coney Island, the NY Liberty Championship Parade, the Republican National Convention, the World Series at Yankee Stadium, New Year’s Eve in Times Square, the NY Giants Championship Parade, the first day Gay Marriage was legal in NYC, Obama’s Inauguration and St. Patrick's Day in Dublin, Ireland.
