Pulpit platform overlooking a makeshift football ground built by a community of migrants from the country of Lesotho at a dump site in the town of Randfontein. Based on markings, this is affilliated to South Africa's largest Christian denomination namely Zionist Christian Church. Most likely constructed from materials discarded at the dump site. Recycling for Jesus is probably the best description for the scene.
Hands Off! Protest in Vero Beach, Florida on April 5, 2025. A large crowd of over 2000 showed up to protest Trump and Elon Musk policies and the havoc caused by DOGE. This was one of 1200 locations where people raised their voices across the nation with more than 5 million participating. Resist!
Went for a walk up by the old prison in Miramar with my friend Dan. Found lots of old military gun placements and bunkers. Also Found an old building with odd double doors and double walls full of old police Gazette folders and old Mob graffiti.... part of the prison? ex miliatry? explosive storage?
The Bureau of Land Management, Sierra Front Field Office recently contracted with a company to clean a large (approximately two acre) illegal dump site located east of Silver Springs, Nevada. This site, which had the appearance of a small landfill became a popular spot for illegal dumping of trash. Full remediation and restoration of the site required a contractor with heavy equipment to remove larger trash items and mitigate potential hazardous materials on site. The cost of cleaning this dumpsite was approximately $66,000.
"Every year the BLM Carson City District Office receives hundreds of complaints from concerned public reporting trash sites on public lands," said Logan Briscoe, Supervisory Law Enforcement Officer. “When individuals cannot be held responsible for their illegal acts, the expense of cleaning up a site such as this one is often funded through the use of tax payer’s money. The BLM truly appreciates the dedication and devotion of community groups and individual volunteers who spend countless hours of their free time cleaning up public lands so others can experience use of their public lands free from unsightly trash."

Kamagasaki, Osaka, Japan used to be a thriving day laborer’s town. Today, it is home to approximately 25,000 unemployed and elderly men, many of whom are also homeless.
Alcoholism, poverty, suicide, Tuberculosis and, most of all, loneliness prevail here. These men don’t have family ties. They live and die as social outcasts from the mainstream “salaryman” culture.
“They are stuck in the middle.They are too old for this work but too young to get government assistance. No work, nowhere to go, and nobody to rely on. Some guys just kill themselves. I understand the feeling.” Says Yasuo Miyake, 65, a former construction worker currently living on government assistance.
“Everyday is a matter of life and death.When it gets cold, I see somebody frozen to death almost everyday. They drink cheap sake and lay down and die. The only comfort I have is that I’m not going to starve to death because of charity.“ says Toshio Fukushima,73.

I have added this photo to a Flickr "pool" called Word on the Street.
It's for (usually) handwritten notices which are personal and often heartfelt. A plea not to dump rubbish fits that description.
I hoped this fridge freezer wasn't dumped. That it was placed there by arrangement with Haringey Veolia - the Council's waste contractors.
At present - March 2017 - Haringey residents can still request a free collection of old fridges. They are safely dismantled and parts can be reused,
This location is the entrance gate to Heathway Villas, off Dowsett Road, Tottenham.
No, there's no heath anywhere nearby.

Two of the dump trucks that periodically rumble along my street as they help out in a total reconstruction of the road. Taken with a Tamron 10-24mm lens. Type L for a better view.

First released in 1964, the Mighty Tonka Dump Truck was featured in TV ads with an elephant supposedly stepping on it!
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.
