On my side of town I often find bikes that have been swiped and then dumped (perhaps after the thief notices some minor problem). This leads to the depressing conclusion that in Ann Arbor it's apparently easier to find another unlocked bike than to fix a flat tire.
For some reason I like this picture better sideways.
The Dump (87,812 square feet)
801 N Military Highway, Norfolk, VA
This was originally a Kmart, which was built and opened in 1974. It became The Dump on June 28th, 1996.

Phnom Penh, Cambodia. February, 2003. Phnom Penh's huge landfill in the early 2000s smoldered perpetually, which did not stop the gleaners from making a living on top of it. The more agile pickers work right around the bulldozers that stir the surface. Most of them live in villages inside or adjcent to the dump, so they never leave the smoke and stench.
Probably based on a Caterpillar Dump Truck is this Summer made diecast I got as part of a big shipment from China recently. Its predictably crude but fairly well made and does its job as a cheap toy. The manufacturer appears to be good old Summer, an infamous toy company many had assumed were no longer in business. Mint and boxed.

"And I found a place it's dark and it's rotted
It's a cool, sweet kinda place where the copters won't spot it
And I destroyed the map that I carefully dotted, however,
Every-day I'm dumping the body
It'd be better for us if you don't understand
It'd be better for us if you don't understand
Better for me if you don't understand..."

Dipping back into the images from the late summer trip to London again; for the A Day In Capital City album.
Wherever I go I have to take a picture of a vehicle. You don't see many of these small dump trucks any more. I had a Matchbox model of something very similar when I was a kid.

Awesome old Mack Dump Truck, shot this while picking up an old R model that is going to the pier in N J
Predictably my knowledge on construction vehicles is extremely vague at the best of times and so I would appreciate any help on identifying this heavy plant dump truck. Its made by Xin Mei Qi and I guess is your typical cheapo Chinese diecast with a crudely finished casting and a lightweight feel to it. Part of an eight vehicle construction themed set bought directly from China. Mint and boxed.
More than 500 people participated in the "No Kings" event in Sebastian, Florida on June 14, 2025. Resist!
This is why I don't like dogs. You have to take them out just to take a dump.
But I guess they can be fun too ;)
(large unsharp area in picture is due to ancient bubbly glass in the windows I shot this through)
My first 3-D cake. I made this for my cousin's son's second birthday. He's really into trucks, and this Wilton's version was perfect.
I wasn't sure how to decorate the back, so my sister helped me make Brenner a license plate. Cute, isn't it?
And yes, the front wheel popped off during transport, so it's resting against the cake. I knew I should have brought a little bit of royal icing.
I originally wanted some kind of system that looked like hydraulic rams, but I wasn't able to incorporate it.
Three dumped Geeps lettered for the Idaho, Northern & Pacific on an abandoned stetch of the former San Diego & Imperial Valley (Before that San Diego & Arizona Eastern) near Ocotillo, California. They're boarded up and haven't been used for some time. There's some interesting information on Trainorders about these locos, how they came to be in California and the attempts to restore service on this stretch of line which is moribund west of Plaster City.
The tug boat in the picture above is bringing tens of old New York City subway cars to the Redbird Reef off the coast of Slaughter Beach, Delaware to dump them into the Atlentic, almost 700 are already in the ocean bed... and all of this is actually a wonderful thing for nature!
Marine biologists have confirmed without a shadow of a doubt that huge metal structures at the bottom of the ocean gradually end up becoming a part of the ocean and they are amazing homes for a variety of ocean life. Now that is really wonderful and while that does not mean we fill the ocean floor with metal, it is a proper way it dispose a few Subway cars of that are now useless. The cars end up being a wonderful home for that beautiful marine life. "They’re basically luxury condominiums for fish." said Jeff Tinsman, the Delaware Department of Natural Resources and Environmental Control's artificial reef program manager, to the New York Times
Who would have thought that subway cars on the ocean floor would encourage fish to congregate? Rather than abandon the structures, fish are moving in at such a rate that the program is trying to provide more cars. What's more, the program is also facing competition from other states after its impressive success, as the city of New York offers the cars for free.
In the last several years, the artificial reefs have drawn swift, open-ocean fish, such as tuna and mackerel, that use the reef as a hunting ground for smaller prey.
The American Littoral Society and other environmental groups opposed the use of the Redbird cars because they have small levels of asbestos in the glue used to secure the floor panels and in the insulation material in the walls.
State and federal environmental officials approved the use of the Redbirds and other cars for artificial reefs in Delaware and elsewhere because they said the asbestos was not a risk for marine life and has to be airborne to pose a threat to humans.
