Shape and Design



Kitchener, Ontario. There was a boy sitting on the corner of the bottom part of this garbage can - reading and presumably waiting for a bus while pretending to be comfortable.


Guelph, Ontario. I'm not sure about this one. Maybe it's meant to stand out. Our eyes notice things that don't make sense?


Waterloo, Ontario. The picture on the bin means that the receptacle extends far below the ground - a design to minimize the number of times it is emptied.

  1. I'm not doubting that your interpretation is correct...but the pictogram looks way more like it indicates the operation of a garbage elevator.
