I found these blocks of aluminum cans in a salvage yard at the end of the summer. Not exactly sure why they were there but obviously someone had them and did not want them anymore. Wonder how many 5cent deposits I can claim off of one of these....
This blog is a product of Geography of Garbage class (ENV 204), which I teach at Hobart and William Smith Colleges (www.hws.edu). The blog represents a collaborative effort among more than 30 students in the course in Spring 2011, and seeks to make visible (through photos and commentary) what we often prefer to be invisible: our garbage.
