Talkin' (Recycling)
On Tuesday, a Korean film crew joined me and Carly for a mini Talkin' Trash expedition.
The tools: recycled cardboard signs with speech bubbles and Replayground stamps; markers; tape; and a little creativity. Just like last time, our goal was to help the trash "talk" about its potential for a new, upcycled life.
It wasn't a bulk trash night and we didn't travel too far, but we still found lots of potential in just one pile of garbage.
This discarded exercise equipment (not even post- New Year's Resolution!) was in great shape. An ambitious trashpicker could use these raw materials for all sorts of things: put the seat on a milk crate for a storage stool, use the tubing for an umbrella stand or coat rack.
Six-pack caddies make great organizers for art, office or kitchen supplies. (You can cover them with wrapping or contact paper if the beer logo doesn't match your decor.)
Simple containers have such great overlooked potential!
