Why am I dumping so many seagull shots on my photostream? Two reasons: One: I really like seagulls. At least when they are in the air. On the ground they are noisy winged rats fighting for rotten scraps of vile, stinky garbage. But in the air they are pure soaring grace. And two: I'm working on a Jonathan Edwards Seagull type video. After staring at so many of these things for so long I'd love to get some other opinions on which I should chose to do some Ken Burnsy things with. Love to hear your top 3 to 5 if you have a thought. Thanks!
Kenworth will provide a $2,000 savings to fellow National Ready Mixed Concrete Association (NRMCA) members on qualifying purchases of new Kenworth T880S, pictured here in a dump application, plus the Kenworth T880, W900, T440 or T470 vocational trucks through the association’s Member to Member (M2M) Benefits Program.

When the water level dropped here there was about 5 shopping trolleys stuck in the mud, this one is quite a recent one judging by the lack of rust etc.
The EBRD and its donors have supported the construction of a sanitary landfill and the establishment of the first waste sorting plant in the country
Georgia, just as everywhere else, if there is one public service people tend to overlook, it is solid waste management. No one wants to know what happens to the rubbish we throw away. Once it’s dumped in a bin, all we want is for it to go away. But where it goes and the way it is treated actually makes the difference between a liveable, safe urban space and a dangerously contaminated one.
So the work of someone like Tamaz Tutusani, a municipal driver of refuse-collector trucks in Rustavi, is crucial for preserving our cities and allows us to carry on with our lives without having to worry about the final destination of our waste.
Until recently, waste disposal was a serious issue for Rustavi, an industrial city 25 kilometres east of the Georgian capital, Tbilisi, and home to 120,000 people. Solid waste was transported and dumped into the same landfill that serves the capital. But that landfill doesn’t have the right capacity or the necessary hygiene standards to guarantee a risk-free environment.
So Rustavi’s municipality decided to construct an integrated sanitary landfill and finally implement international standards for waste management that can ensure the entire system is efficient and sustainable in the long run.
And this innovative plan has now become a reality thanks to an EBRD loan worth €1.6 million and grant co-financing from the Swedish International Development Cooperation Agency (SIDA) and BP that provided €1.7 million and over €700,000 respectively.
“We established a new waste management company to look after all landfill operations” explained Khatuna Tegetashvili, the director of LTD Rustavi Landfill. “Our employees were trained to boost their know-how of all matters relating to solid waste, from health and safety to equipment maintenance and public tendering for supplies.”
This technical cooperation project, which is part of the overall renewal, was funded by the government of Austria and the Early Transition Countries Fund.
The rubbish Mr Tutusani collects is now taken to the brand new landfill. The landfill is safe for the environment because it has been constructed in compliance with EU directives, which, for instance, make sure rain does not penetrate inside and control the accumulation and migration of gas formed by the waste.
The landfill serves also the small town of Gardabani, which, as per the municipality’s overall renovation plan, has shut down its old, unsanitary dumpsite.
Moreover, the project introduced waste recycling to Georgia for the first time. The large warehouse where the new sorting line is located, right next to the landfill, is the first stop for Mr Tutusani’s truck. The waste is unloaded on a conveyor belt where trained workers can manually divide plastic, cellophane and cardboard from the rest.
All different materials are then collected and compressed together. In this way they will be sold and reused by various industries.
For now only three per cent of the total solid waste that reaches Rustavi’s landfill is recycled. It’s an encouraging first step that eventually, in the municipality’s long-term vision, will lead to the introduction of recycling at source, which is more effective and less expensive.
“Our work and the whole waste collection and disposal process have improved,” said Mr Tutusani in a rest break while his truck unloaded rubbish bags.
The Georgian government has every intention to replicate the success of this project in other regions. And the EBRD and its donors are ready to provide their financial support and expertise so that the people of Georgia can continue to live in clean and safe cities, blissfully oblivious of what happens to their rubbish.
Today the Hereios of the We're Here! group are finding candidates for the Homeless Robot Shelter. This robot from the Johnson Space Center, Houston, seems to have been dumped on the outskirts of Nashville.
Gadver wat voor onnozelen doen zo iets?

Dorset Road N15 near the corner with West Green Road.
Same pile from both sides. Included a fridge freezer, neon tubes, a wooden chair, and a supermarket trolley with a plastic bucket and other rubbish.
Haringey Council and Veolia its waste contractors will collect fridge freezers and chairs without change. (It takes a phonecall.) The recyclable cans and plastic are collected from households weekly without charge.
Haringey's Three Main Waste Systems
You move home. Perhaps to a new neighbourhood. Or different part of the UK. Or maybe you relocate to another country.
What do you do with your waste? What are the local systems for getting rid of it? Starting, maybe, with the boxes you used to move. And then, perhaps, there's stuff left behind by the former occupants. Maybe an old TV or a broken fridge? A disgusting stained mattress. And more old rubbish in the garden - if you're lucky enough to have a garden.
Haringey. The Primary System - Waste collected from Homes
Haringey Council and Veolia have comprehensive and mostly free systems for collecting waste from homes. In most cases this is the main method of waste collection from the borough's residents. It includes recycling as much as possible of that waste.
So people moving to Haringey need to know how often their waste is collected and when? What needs sorting for recycling? What stuff is collected for free? And if - rarely - there's a charge, how much? There are collections for food and garden waste.
The Second System: "Bring" sites
There's another general option. Residents can take waste for recycling, or just for disposal. There are official "town dumps" or Recycling Centres. There are also litter and recycling bins around.
The unofficial Third System
Despite this fairly comprehensive set of facilities and services, in parts of Haringey there is routine dumping of waste in the streets. Or on patches of ground; Or down alleyways.
I have a set of photos - Flickr calls it an album - called
The Third System. This illustrates my suggestion that - in large parts of Haringey - the Council and Veolia have failed to effectively engage and get co-operation from significant numbers of residents; as well as some traders, landlords, managing agents and builders.
And so dumping on the street has become an unofficial, careless "Third System" of waste disposal.

I found a stolen and dumped car on the path between the Rudan nature reserve and the Biofuel Power Plant in Jordbro two days ago. Someone had to work hard to get it there as it is missing all four wheels and there's really no road here to drive on.
Edited for spelling errors twice.
I finaly got round to getting my film developped.
this was at the dump on a lovly sunday.
We went to the dump, then ASDA
then had a coffie, and then! we went through the drive through car wash!

To prepare for our new art studio, we demolished old sheds and took them to the local dump..
The Marin Resource Recovery Center is an indoor dump that’s about the size of three football fields. Built in 1987, it gives Marin County residents a clean, enclosed environment to dispose of solid waste.
Each month, the Resource Recovery Center processes nearly 3,000 tons of recyclables, according to the Marin Sanitary Service. They say the center may be the most sophisticated recycling facility in the country, with visitors from around the world coming to observe its state-of-the-art system.
This was a fun experience, with bulldozers zipping by across the pit, moving the debris we just dumped into a series of screens, conveyors, blowers, magnets, and hand-sorting separates dirt, sand, metal, wood, concrete, paper, and other materials for recovery.
Overall, everything went smooth as silk, and only took about half a day for the demolition and half a day for the dump run.
It was a great feeling to finally get rid of some of these old art debris to make room for the new sheds. Truly liberating!

Seen in Forest Grove, Oregon, at the Clean Water Services facility. This year there have been large number of dump trucks running around Washington County. Intel has a huge construction project and needs to haul hundreds of truck-loads of dirt out of their Ronler Acres construction site.
In addition there are all the normal and regular dirt moving projects in the county. I think these trucks were stock-piling top soil at the facility.
I think that this truck is set up (with its 7 axles) to haul around 74,000 gross weight.

This location opened in fall 1993; it was originally a Miller & Rhoads, which opened in August 1963 and re-located here on March 26th, 1975. It then became a Hechinger's hardware store, which opened in 1977 and closed in December 1990.
It seems the semi iconic cheapo brand of Summer is still alive and well even if its name and original logo don't seem to appear on its models or packaging anymore. Thankfully they arn't quite as crude as they used to be back in the 70's and 80's though not good enough for Mattel to lose sleep over. This heavy plant dump truck may possibly be based on something made by Caterpillar and is reasonably well cast for its low low price and even includes a fully tilting rear. Bought directly from China. Mint and boxed.
