In-laws visiting this weekend; turned on the garbage disposal to find it was jammed, just made a humming sound; this little guy was one of the things I found inside...
New York City Transit Authority (NYCTA) R42 no. 4815 (St. Louis Car Co., 1969-1970) is seen leading a garbage train up the Culver Line ramp from Coney Island Yard. This train will run from here to as far as Forest Hills collecting garbage from stations along the Culver, Crosstown, and Queens Blvd Lines, bringing it back to the yard to be transferred to trucks and hauled away.
Beautiful but it's trash... the bicycle was found on a heap of garbage, and the beautiful building is a garbage holding/sorting facility that my office designed.
Belle poubelle!
We don't give much notice to the ubiquitous garbage truck, yet without it, life would get pretty interesting within a few days.
In Elgin Park, there was only one such truck, owned by "Pip" Paulson, and he made the rounds tirelessly, 5 days a week.
All of the town's castoffs were taken down by the river, at a place called Bunkie's Landing. This used to be a notorious area for rum running and other nefarious activities, back in the 1920's and '30s, but times had changed and the town's dump was now there.
Back to "Pip" Paulson; he was a valued citizen who performed a very necessary task that kept the town running smoothly. He bought himself a new Buick in 1948, seen here, which he kept in tip top shape and remained his only car until he passed away in 1965.
A hail and hearty Hurrah! for the "sanitary engineers" throughout the world. This photo is dedicated to you.
As for the model...the business end of the garbage truck, in the photo, was handmade, based on an early '50s design. It is constructed of styrene plastic and found objects.
On a different note...

Hell of a view, with no one to see it. We destroy nature for our own use, and then when we had enough of it, we just leave it there, scarred and suffering..

Took photos of garbage. Stuck my head in the garbage can looking forward colors and shapes. Manipulated the image using double exposure and a new editing app.
I was fortunate to take a tour of a pig farm used decades ago to raise and feed pigs. Garbage was collected by garbage trucks owned by the pig farm for the express purpose of feeding the pigs. It was brought to the farm and placed into a gravity oven where this steam furnace would steam cook the garbage for the pigs.
