Decorative dumpsters abound

Photo by Sandord Myers for The Tennessean
Young artists in Tennesse decorate dumpsters for a new recycling center. The article that goes with this photo is actually kind of grumpy, pointing out that the opening of the recycling center had to be delayed in order to work out the logistics of getting the kids in to paint the dumpsters.

That’s my theory and I’m sticking to it.

UPDATE: Trash asthetics must be in the air. Bed-Stuy Banana just posted this.
