Today is supposed to be our last 90 degree day of the summer, so I was out early. A little too early as I had to pass by a big pile of carpeting for the Amazing Things A Garbage Truck Can Crush as the guy was bringing more out on a dolly. Well, you can probably imagine it. Once you have seen one depressing pile of carpet, you pretty much have seen them all.

An interesting link for today. All you ever wanted to know about composting. My take on composting is that you can do the hard way or the easy way. The easy way is set up a four foot wire ring (OK, two or three rings would be better), throw an equal amount of green (veggie and plant refuse) and brown (dried leaves or grass) organic material in, wait a year – Black Gold!

Garbage Dreams

BJ Parady sent me the note and link below. OK, it’s satire, but I could see this as a recycling bin. Good scouting, BJ:

I’m sending this link to you not because of politics, but because of
your garbage project. Click on the slide show, and go to picture number 8. An excellent example of recycling and art.

It’s a “twofer.” Not just an ironing board with pink legs, but also a giant football full of garbage.

Well, here it is at last. The Garbage Day Project has its own blog and all entries will be at this address.

It was a dark and stormy morning, but I hate to go to the archives unless there is lightning. And, of course, it was a bonanza day. Chairs are always interesting and the blue rack behind this chair may be featured on its own some day. I seriously thought about toting the rack home (print drying rack, anyone?), but decided to stick to my own rules. I can’t believe the Amazing Things A Garbage Truck Can Crush entry below. I thought it was a sliding door, but now that I look at it, I believe it’s a window. In any case, it was big.
