Fictional hazardous waste dump. Prior to 1971 and pre-EPA this was the way of doing business and dealing with hazardous waste - spent solvents, oils, lubricants, petroleum, dyes, grits, surfactants, ordinance, paper, ash, metal, plastics, hardeners, resins, insecticides, herbicides, by-products, radionuclides, resins, pharmaceuticals, biohazards, heavy metals, etc... etc... etc....
Although many have been cleaned up there are certainly many many more of these hiding out there. Preventing this is the EPA mission and should be remembered when politicians talk about defunding or eliminating the EPA to foster a more "business friendly" climate to compete with primarily China. The Chinese people are beginning tor realize the hidden environmental costs of purely unregulated business. Unfortunately they cannot protest it very effectively, nor choose politicians with a inkling nor direct contact with this stuff.
An idea for a text on the environment. Slowly working through it.
"Hazardous waste is waste that is dangerous or potentially harmful to our health or the environment. Hazardous wastes can be liquids, solids, gases, or sludges. They can be discarded commercial products, like cleaning fluids or pesticides, or the by-products of manufacturing processes." EPA
Getting dumped before the holidays sucks. But it really hurts when Christmas is all you have to look forward to in your life. This poor tree didn't get to fulfill it’s Christmas destiny.
Lyndsay Park. The river literally ripped up the pathway and dumped slabs of tarmac here. The green sign in the background is the one that is in a few of my photos....but mainly underwater in those other ones...
"The tire dump" Pen and ink on 2 sketch book pages.
Tires pose an enormous environmental problem. as I doodled down this idea - meant to be in the context of a larger work about the environment, I couldn't help but find it fascinating...and almost pretty....at least visually.
My first submission - thanks for looking!
Despite a big red sign stating fines for illegal dumping, it is ignored. This this done out of spite?
This classic Chevy Dump truck (1 ton?) is still in decent shape and in commercial use by a roofing contractor out of Bessemer, MI. With all the looks of a staged photo, this is just how I found it, parked in front of the Gogebic County Courthouse on a fine fall day. The courthouse was getting a new roof but on this Sunday it was all quiet. October 11, 2009.
The boat has been here for at least a month.

I covered F100fd with sunglasses and took it.
Given the depth of field, these really need to be seen at bigger than screen size, but this will have to do for now.

Subject : Metal grill dumped in Old Well - corner Philip Lane N15 & High Road, Tottenham.
Please see my two photos taken on Saturday 12 May 2012 and posted on Flickr. They show a metal grill which has been dumped in the Old Well at the corner of Philip Lane and High Road, Tottenham.
I couldn't spot where the grill had been taken from.
Can you please pass this to the staff responsible for looking after the Old Well. Thanks.

“It is impossible to change waste practices without implicating the self in a process of reflexivity, without asking people to implicitly or explicitly think about the way they live”
Infinite abundance is an illusion that remains central to expectations of choice in today's consumer culture. The market forces that wish to keep us shopping perpetuate this illusion but it is also an illusion in which we ascribe to, aiding in its perception. Cleanliness and beauty have been foregrounded as contemporary necessities and help to maintain the illusion of abundance. Modern society relies upon a contrived outlook of the world in which we constantly try to impose aesthetic order in every aspect of our lives. This requires us to throw things out so as to achieve such a sense of order, as Mary Douglas writes in Purity and Danger,
“Where there is dirt there is system. Dirt is the by-product of a systematic ordering and classification of matter, in so far as ordering involves rejecting inappropriate elements.'
Random buckets... probably full of hazmat.
