'Reverse Garbage', part of the Addison Road complex. Industrial offcuts, seconds & rejects, and all manner of odd and fabulous things. Behold the wonders!
BRAZIL. Curitiba, Paraná. Garbage scavenger families on the slums of Parolin district.
Garbage scavenging is a highly widespread activity between thousands of poor families in South Brazil. Family members of all ages may usually walk for hours in the search of cardboard boxes, copper parts and virtually any material worth selling for a reasonable price in on of the many recycling companies spread throughout the cities. Often taken by criminals (or, at least, people worth avoiding when walking on the streets) by most well-established citizens and having to face the continuous fall of prices of materials destined to recycling, those workers have been fighting for years against the immediate deterioration of their situation, while roaming through the daily routine between large city centers and the constant eruptions of violence on their own neighborhoods.

Garbage at the Warfield theatre in San Francisco.
The Screaming Females… they ROCKED!!!
[04/18/2011] I don't know when the garbage collection days are, but I don't think having a pile of garbage in front of a restaurant is a good idea any day.
note: looks like it was the garbage collection day later yesterday as the garbage was all cleared up when I walked passed it just now (midnight next day)
this is the garbage can outside of the Dickson City Gallery of Sound. I have never put a CD sticker on this can before. Not that I can recall, anyway.
No thanks, I prefer cream in my coffee. This raven was busy checking out the garbage in the back of someone's pickup truck and didn't mind me taking it's picture at all.
When looking at the photographs it becomes apparent that contrary to the common belief that we need consumption to continue in order for society to continue that in reality consumption is leading us to our inevitable destruction. This can be seen here with the waste in the foreground that is seemingly about to engulf the city. As quoted in a book called 'Love and Garbage' by Ivan Klíma,
“Nothing can vanish from the face of the planet, the fruits of our activity do not liberate us, but bury us.”
