Mine. A 32 gallon Incredible Plastics on the left and a 35 gallon Contico on the right.
Update: Both of these have since been discarded due to cracking from the extreme temperatures.
Walking around San Diego's Little Italy, I stumbled upon this decorated trash receptacle. It was already a pre-made tunnel. I loved the public art installations all around.

Today, I set out with my plastic bag to perform a "trash pick up" hike at Ramapo Reservation in Mahwah NJ. Earlier this week, I saw another hiker doing it, and I was already inspired by a video I saw on Facebook about plogging , so I knew I needed to do it myself. It occurred to me, so many times, we all just look at the trash in the woods, and shake our heads in shame, but we don't ever pick it up. Well, some people do- and what an incredible thing it is to actually do! To care about the environment in such a way, that you take responsibility for making the surroundings a better place, for everyone. How amazing would it be if more people did this? I have already seen a big difference at the Reservation.

I malvisti bidoni della spazzatura in realtà sono uno dei più semplici modi per evitare di disperdere i materiali di consumo dell'uomo moderno. Usiamoli sempre! La natura non sa come digerire una bottiglia di plastica...

“FANTASY CAPE” INSTALLATION
Artist: BONNIE ZIMMER, Rensselaer, Indiana
"Inspired, in part, by the recent royal wedding and the reruns of Princess Diana’s crazy and spectacular train, I have created this “fantasy cape” installation specifically for TRASHION 2011. Having exhibited in all ten annual Trash to Treasure shows, I’m delighted to go beyond my previous mixed media work, which includes baskets, sculpture, and installation, and venture over into “fashion”.
This work is the product of my spontaneous, creative play with materials. Thanks to family members who shared their recyclables such as cat food cans, wine corks & foil; bottles, caps & lids, Skoal cans and more. Along with a few natural materials, I attached with hot glue (would rather have sewn everything on but not enough time…) to a fabric train made from an old black sheet. This I created in my home studio. My “mannequin” was created from tomato cages from my garden, sitting on a tire, with a bust I formed with hardware cloth, cable ties and a little black spray paint. The dried sunflowers rising out of the form (cut down to fit in my van) also come from last year’s garden to form a wonderfully creepy persona, perfect to wear my fantasy cape. The installation was created on site over a two day period (about 10 hours) with selected items from my cherished collection of natural and synthetic objects and materials. These items were “harvested” in the woods, fields, roadsides, and out-buildings around my families’ farms in rural, Jasper county in northwest Indiana where I have all my life (except for five years at IU, Bloomington). Natural materials include dried sunflowers, basil & sage plants; pine needles & cones, sweet gum balls, milkweed pods & stems, corn husks, cobs, stalks, leaves and shelled corn; locust pods, walnut shells, pumpkins, day lily leaves, deer antlers, wild turkey feathers (over two dozen live on our farm) a few rocks, and more, are combined with my collection of farm objects, all very carefully arranged on a roofing felt underlayment.
Both playful and reverent, this work is really about “place” and the flora, fauna, and people who have lived, worked and occasionally played there. I hope it conveys both the unique and bitter sweet beauty of a rural place and times gone by through its objects and materials.
My installation is also informed by the history, process and meditative spirit of the amazing mandalas constructed by Tibetan monks as well as the beautiful and powerful sand paintings of Native Americans who lived in harmony with nature and cherished the resources they had.
My overall goal was to compose another new work that is visually compelling; a work that resonates with history and a sacredness I too believe is inherent in all things, whether natural or synthetic. By contemplating my very intentional arrangement, I hope you will experience a feeling of being taken beyond yourself by the power of art and to consciously choose to “treasure” the resources we have."

So I'm sitting home one morning (in the summer of 2002) minding my own business, and I hear all this scraping and chattering outside. I look out the window and witness a most surreal sight: dozens of trash cans lined up like soldiers right down the middle of the street! The city was apparently distributing new trash, recycling, and compost bins to everyone. Wacky wild.
These Mexico City garbage trucks earn their keep. The collectors sort through the recyclables and store what they can on top, saving trips to the landfill or recycling yard.

I was invited bij Breda photographers Melanie Rijkers (MeRy) and Hans van Nunen to join them in their 11.11.11. Trash The Dress shoot. It was a wonderful afternoon with briliant locations and the best weather you can wish for in november!

Ogni anno oltre 8 milioni di tonnellate di plastica finiscono negli oceani.
L’80% entra in mare spinto dal vento o trascinato dagli scarichi urbani e dai fiumi, il resto è prodotto dalle navi.
Le microplastiche originate dalla fotodegradazione e dall’erosione delle correnti sono dannosissime, scambiandole per plancton i pesci se ne nutrono rendendole così un ingrediente comune nell’intera catena alimentare.
L’ingerimento accidentale di plastica è un fenomeno talmente comune che oltre il 50% delle tartarughe marine ne ha subito gli effetti.
Prima che si verifichi un danno irreversibile ai nostri mari bisogna necessariamente invertire la rotta.
Bisogna ridurre la percentuale di plastica che non viene riciclata o smaltita in inceneritori o termovalorizzatori, che spesso finisce per esser bruciata all’aperto rilasciando inquinanti e gas serra o che finisce direttamente nell’ambiente.
Bisogna ridurre drasticamente l’utilizzo degli articoli in plastica monouso.
Bisogna pensare a come riparare l’enorme danno esistente; nei mari sono presenti vere e proprie isole di rifiuti che vorticano seguendo le correnti naturali.
Si trova nell’Oceano Pacifico il più grande accumulo di spazzatura galleggiante al mondo, la “Great Pacific Garbage Patch”, chiamata anche “Pacific Trash Vortex”.
Le sue dimensioni sono immense, le stime parlano di un minimo di 700.000 km² di estensione fino a più di 10 milioni di km².
Queste fotografie rappresentano dei rifiuti che vorticano in un mulinello d’acqua e che, presumibilmente, andranno a far parte delle 8 tonnellate di plastica che anche quest’anno riverseremo in mare.
251 million tons of trash(solid waste) was generated in the U.S. in 2006. less than a third of the waste was recyclable.
