UPDATE: Ad for rentable dumpster in Williamsburg debunked
Dumpster serves as owner's summer home
This screen shot shows the image included in the Craigslist ad for a dumpster that can be rented as a housing space in Williamsburg.
An ad that surfaced last week on Craigslist offering a tricked-out dumpster as a rentable apartment was phony, the Brooklyn Eagle has learned.
The heading for this bogus ad, which was posted on Nov. 4, reads, “$1200 hipster type needed for dumpster apt (Williamsburg).”
In an email correspondence with the Brooklyn Eagle, Kloehn debunked the advertisement.
“The ad was a prank performed by someone I don’t know without my consent,” Kloehn said. “I have not rented it out, it serves as my summer home.”
The description says, “This art deco hipster retro mini apt from a converted dumpster is green friendly and sustainable. .and trendy…1200 month. Or 200 per night.”
The renovated trashcan has inside a bar, mini-bar, sink, stove, toilet, shower, barbecue, deck and a retractable roof.
The dumpster belongs to Gregory Kloehn, an artist, designer and builder who was featured by HGTV for its “You Live in What?” series in 2013.
