This was once a waste handling site: mixed refuse was dumped into this open maw to be carted off by the lorry load to simply be buried or burned as decided by an arbitrary sort. This handling site has been replaced by a high-tech waste recycling plant and now only about 40% of the delivered refuse is burned or buried, the rest will be reused.
This building itself will shortly be demolished and recycled which seems a fitting end to a polluting disposal system.
And the times they are a changing. We have one sort recycle and it is further sorted in a high tech manor that baffles me. Since you pay per bag dearly for the non recycle it pay to recycle. Now some cities are beginning to charge for every grocery bag you get at the store so better to have your own bags. All wonderful ideas but you have to wonder if too little too late.
I think b&w is a perfect genre for corrugated metal, as it seems to bring out the textures and lines so well. Love the clouds in this image as well as aforementioned textures and lines. I did a similar one this week too for eotb.
cool. this could be a set in a video game (alas or yay, but I certainly have indulged). I read once that the largest component of landfills was construction debris. so recycling the building would be something.
