These mobile dumpster parks that have started sprouting up around the San Fransisco city lately.

Maybe this “garden rental” is something we should look at offering?

He took a dumpster, used some ingenuity and turned the metal container into a home.

Once you get over the fact that it’s a dumpster, the living quarters are not that bad. The dumpster is small but it’s outfitted with cabinets, a cooking surface, electricity, and all the other basic amenities needed to survive. It even has granite countertops and a hard wood floor. Not too shabby. [YouTube via LikeCool and Nick McGlynn via Gizmodo]

It is surprising to know that some of our everyday items may take up to more than 1,000 years to decompose. In fact, some may not decompose at all!

That’s why it is best to recycle these instead of throwing them to the landfill.

Dumpster swimming pool

Dumpster swimming pool 2

The Brooklyn swimming pool, dubbed the “lo-fi country club” by Macro Sea, is an impressive first step. The pool took 12 days to construct. The dumpsters, which weren’t being used because of the slow down in construction projects, were cleaned and painted. Rough edges were sanded down. They were then equipped with plastic liners, sandbags (for soft walking), and tarps before being filled with 19,000 gallons of chlorinated water.

This contaminated water ends up in our groundwater. It also affects the surrounding plant life and animal life as the surrounding soil is contaminated. Additionally, the volatile compounds that evaporate up through the soil and into the air affect the health of the surrounding residents. Once we have emptied the landfill all of these issues go away. Human health, plant health, animal health, and the condition of the soil and groundwater all improve.

Batteries contain heavy metals such as mercury, lead, cadmium, and nickel, which can contaminate the environment when batteries are improperly disposed of. When incinerated, certain metals might be released into the air or can concentrate in the ash produced by the combustion process.

The average person throws out about eight household batteries per year. About three billion batteries are sold annually in the U.S. averaging about 32 per family or ten per person. Most people own about two button batteries, and ten normal (A, AA, AAA, C, D, 9V, etc.) Because Batteries may produce potential problems or hazards they must be disposed of correctly. Many states have regulations in place requiring some form of battery recycling. California mandates recycling for almost all battery types. Take a look at this most helpful website to find out where you can dispose of your unwanted batteries:

TV’s, monitors, fridges, paints, solvents, food waste, liquids, freon, corrosive materials/acids, batteries, biohazard/medical waste, propane tanks, asbestos, lead painted material, equipment containing gas or oil, flammable/explosive items or household garbage (food waste and food packaging).

What is E-Waste? E-Waste is a popular, informal name for any broken or unwanted electrical or electronic appliance.

 Common E-Waste materials: Scanners, Cell phones, Alarm clocks, Mice, Keyboards, Computers & Computer monitors, Televisions, VCR’s, Stereos, Printers, Fax machines. Not E-Waste: Refrigerators, Stoves, Dishwashers.

Why recycle E-Waste?   Some components of old electronic equipment can be hazardous to our environment. The new electronic waste recycling laws make it a crime to throw away old computers and other electronics. The toxicity is due in part to lead, mercury, cadmium and a number of other metallic substances. When discarded improperly, these substances and chemicals are extremely harmful to the environment. Lead is a toxic substance of particular concern, as lead poisoning can especially be harmful to young children. A typical 17-inch computer monitor contains approximately 2 pounds of lead while a 27-inch color television contains up to 8 pounds of lead.

Why should we be concerned about E-Waste in our waste stream? Why is it a problem?   E-Waste is one of the fastest growing segments of our nation’s waste stream. E-Waste now makes up 5% of all municipal waste worldwide. According to the International Association of Electronics Recyclers, Americans dispose of 2 million tons of electronic products a year including 50 million computers and 130 million cell phones. By 2010, the United States will be discarding 400 million electronic units annually. Do your bit… E-Waste collections occur at County Centers and are usually free of charge. E-Waste will not be accepted at Household Collection Mobile events, so contact your local County to find out the closest collection center to you.
