Invisible Garbage

Housekeeping does a great job swiftly taking our trash away.  Last week, I saw a dump truck for the first time.  I think that although they don't add ascetic value to the campus, it is good to be reminded that your trash doesn't become invisible when it leaves your house.  There are direct concequences for your carelessness to recycle or compost.  Maybe people need to see more of their trash removal to feel like they are a part of the process.
