Recycler with cash goods seen outside Pacific Central Station in Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada.
Near where I work, there is a large truck full of recycled soda cans in front of a local volunteer fire department that I always drive past. I've been wanting to stop and take a photo of it for a long time, but today I finally did. I was inspired by the old-school lettering on the sign to process the image with vintage tones and lots of grain. I think it works.

our new limited edition, recycled, rolodex file boxes.
(one time only)
the wood boxes were made from previously silkscreened panels of birch ply from an old project. the cards were hand punched (by us) using paper that is made from 30% post consumer waste, from a paper mill using only sustainable forests and hydro / wind power.
On October 25, 2003 I was visiting a friend, David Hanssen, who lives in Sterling Masachusetts. On the trip back to Boston I stopped by the Sterling Recycling Center. These bottles, glistening in the afternoon sun awaiting recycling, caught my eye.

Recycling and waste sector employees have been granted 'key worker' status by the government recognising the key role of recycling and waste operatives. This means they will continue to receive educational and care provision for their children during the coronavirus crisis.
Ashleigh and her colleague pass me in their waste collection vehicle about 7 am each morning. They empty the 3 different recycling bins all along the coastal path. Both always have their protective masks and gloves on, even when they're driving.
This is 1 of 5 bigger bodied Parramatta recycling trucks with a 35m capacity, shown from the side to give an idea of their actual monster size. Featured is also one of the types of educational livery that can be seen on the nearside of just about every truck in the fleet. This side loader had just finished the fifth week of service in this photo, so still looks pretty clean and presentable, but you may notice the front of the hopper already copped a hit!
Years ago when I was visiting Polytrade Recycling at Rydalmere, I saw an unexpected arrival a few times also dropping off mixed recycle. The euro 5 ACCO paired with a Richards body foreign to Sydney took me by surprise at first, but then I saw Lithgow City Council in the signage and that really did me. In the old contract recycling was handled at the Lithgow waste facility, but I guess the operations there weren’t capable of receiving the new 240L commingle stream, so direct haul to Sydney with the collection trucks became the next best option. I found out JR Richards runs a pair of these bigger side loaders for fortnightly recycling, with each truck coming down every second day to drop off a full load. Normally done early morning, that’s a 3hr turnaround trip through the mountains and western Sydney.
Over here in Belgium we have a company called Boomerang. They spread promotional postcards on a regular basis.
This is one of their latest, I really like it for it's environmental message of RECYCLE and it's cleverness :)

In recent times I’ve taken a real interest in recycling crates from back in the day, just given all the history about waste services. Whenever I see an unfamiliar bin or one with history and originality behind it, I bring a photo home with me to keep for records. While at work one afternoon I spotted these three recycling crates next to the Superior Pak workshop at the Cleanaway yard, one from Marrickville, Rockdale and Drummoyne. I imagine the red crate is also a product of that Nally company given the general design, noting heaps of councils used crates identical to these in size and shape. Back in the early days it seems the typical situation involved a crate for bottles and containers, with paper and cardboard bundled loosely or collected in a separate crate... or rarely both materials would be mixed into the single container. I can tell you Drummoyne Council (now part of Canada Bay) had a second black crate for paper and cardboard, but as for Marrickville and Rockdale I’m going to assume they only had crates for bottles and containers. When it comes to who was responsible for collecting the recycling in these councils, I really couldn’t give a positive answer on who and what did and this really bugs me! I can only assume Marrickville was council works, Rockdale I reckon was a contractor and Drummoyne I believe had council works, but I wonder if there was a contractor involved to an extent too. The trucks used are another story, could have been anything.

This pale blue flower brooch was made out of felted wool sweater, vintage doily, and a really unusual vintage button. It's one of the more unusual ones I've run into in my collection lately and it was the perfect shade for this flower.
The birth of a man is the birth of his sorrow. The longer he lives, the more stupid he becomes, because his anxiety to avoid unavoidable death becomes more and more acute. What bitterness! He lives for what is always out of reach! His thirst for survival in the future makes him incapable of living in the present. CHUANG TZU

Déjà vu? Well this was highly inspired from the LEGO City Orange Recycle/Garbage Truck 7991 set. I really loved that set to be honest, but it's just too small to go with the rest of my vehicle scale. So I did my own version, just took the inspiration from that set. Modify the design a bit. Max will fit 6 minifigs in the cab. I didn't want to add the hydraulic axle. Just preferred this look better.
