12 August 2013. Park View Road, Tottenham N17. As a local ward councillor I got a call from residents about a waste problem at the corner of Park View Road and Dowsett Road.
Even before I got there, there was some litter and dumping. Although this may have been due to people who drive to the Reuse and Recycling Centre in Park View Road and find it closed. The Centre is about sixty metres to the south of where this quilt was left on the pavement.
Photos below taken a few minutes later :
• Across the street two dumped bags were dumped by the wall of the Recycling Depot.
• At the opposite corner a wardrobe/cupboard was left on the pavement outside 1 Havelock Road N17.

I saw this trash can, disguised as a ship funnel, on the boardwalk at Jones Beach State Park on Long Island, New York. I like that Jones Beach went all out in keeping with the nautical theme for the boardwalk. I really want to get back here again for some sunset shots!
A micro dump truck MOC.
Inspired by the four miniature vehicles featured in LEGO set 10214 Tower Bridge.
Our maintenance crews have ground out the right wheel path in the right lane of I-5 and are filling it back in with new asphalt. The dump truck unloads fresh, hot asphalt, and crews follow behind smoothing it out and compacting it.
Dumping ballast at Fernley using the GREX "Slot Machine" ballast train. Each segment consists of eleven cars over twelve trucks, with continuous connections between the cars. The ends of the cars are removable to form a bridge between cars, allowing the loader to simply roll along the bed of the cars.
This was just a bit further down the road from previous photo. Used as a dumping ground too.!!! Probably stolen, but looks like it has been there for some time.
Jean took a couple of photos. She had to hold onto me as the wind was so strong, I had trouble keeping the camera still. Lol.!!!!

Hong Kong Transport - Trucks
The Hong Kong Truck Culture
The number of Trucks, Vans* and Special Purpose Vehicles (Light, Medium & Heavy) registered + licenced in Hong Kong seems to fluctuate between 120,000 - 125,000 vehicles and presumably new trucks registered are offset by old trucks being retired or sold over the border in China.
*Vans are classified as Light Goods Vehicles and are not shown in this album
In Hong Kong Trucks are classified as GOODS VEHICLES By the Transport Department - see below
☛Light Goods Vehicles - Goods vehicles of permitted gross vehicle weight not exceeding 5.5 tonnes.
☛Medium Goods Vehicles - Goods vehicles of permitted gross vehicle weight exceeding 5.5 tonnes but not exceeding 24 tonnes.
☛Heavy Goods Vehicles - Goods vehicles of permitted gross vehicle weight exceeding 24 tonnes but not exceeding 38 tonnes.
The major truck types you tend to see in urban areas are trucks carrying construction materials or waste, dump trucks, concrete mixers and all sizes of delivery trucks... outside of the urban areas it is container trucks and large trucks carrying construction materials.
The following brands of Trucks can be seen on the streets of Hong Kong and include:-
Beiben ✚ Bell ✚ CAMC ✚ CNHTC ✚ DAF ✚ Dennis ✚ Dong Feng ✚ FAW ✚ Fuso ✚ Foton ✚ Ford ✚ Hino ✚ Howo ✚ Hyundai ✚ Isuzu ✚ Iveco ✚ JAC ✚ Kato ✚ KIA ✚ Liebherr ✚ MAN ✚ Mercedes Benz ✚ Mitsubishi ✚ Nissan ✚ Renault ✚ Scania ✚ Shacman ✚ Sinotruk ✚ Suzuki ✚ Toyota ✚ UD ✚ Volvo ✚ Zoomlion
Hong Kong is a brand conscious place even for trucks (!) hence the popularity of the European brands, Scania and Man are very popular and even the older trucks look the business and they are utterly reliable.
Isuzu is the market leader in terms of sale volume for all types of trucks.

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!

Tibar rubbish tip, dump. Local people scavenging through the dump to collect cans to sell them to Dili. Residents are exposed to fumes from burning the rubbish as the crusher no longer works, the waste has to be temporarily burnt. Photo by Martine Perret/UNMIT 9 January 2009
I only just learned what a Dump cake is and decided to try making it. It is unbelievable easy but very shameful. Everything in the recipe is out of a box or a tin. The ingredients I used:
1 tin cherry pie filling
1 tin pineapple bits
1 box yellow cake mix
1 1/2 sticks of butter (extra shameful)
1/4 cup chopped pecans
The beauty of the cake is that there is hardly any work involved....you literally dump everything into the dish and bake it.
My family loved it as It was really delicious. I imagine it would be a great dessert to take to a pot luck and you could probably switch the fruit filling to suit your taste. However, I don't think I'll be making it too often....it's shameful and full of calories!
I photographed another Maxi-Dump piece of equipment at this very location nearly eight years ago. The name still makes me laugh.

Tea leaves in the kettle... They sort of "expand" once they're put in hot water. Get long, and float like seaweed.
