Welcome to the world through a trash receptacle!

What's the story here?
I like to think about objects and the value and meanings we associate with them. I like to think about waste and people and place - and how people in different places relate to, sort and deal with what we label as waste, litter, recyclables, organics, compost, rubbish, garbage, or trash.

A garbage bin is part of the biography of a thing. It can be convenient, innovative, an eye-sore, an advertising space, decorated, painted, hidden, private, public, intentionally placed. It can be just another static object in our landscape or it can teach us something.

You are welcome to send photos from wherever you are in this world. Thanks for being a part of the story!

  1. I'm on it, I need to take more pictures and there is no reason why they shouldn't be of garbage cans. Expect some new material soon.
