Sunday, June 24, 2012
6:30 pm on a clear day about 100˚

The dumpster was pretty full with a mix of unfortunate smelling garbage and more usable things. I poked around and sifted through what I could reach. Here's what I found.

This photo doesn't capture the unfortunate smell coming from deep within the pile.

Large inflatable pool floaters (pink, clear, striped)
Cardboard box full of mostly empty rock cd cases
Box of wine glasses and coffee mugs
Two garbage bags full of clothes including blue t-shirts with old Bourgeois Pig logo and one black t-shirt with a Naked Lunch / Burroughs design
Four mens suit jackets in good condition
19 inch television
Broken brown office chair
One pair of mens black slippers
One pair of mens brown dress shoes
Baby animal childrens book
Bad smelling garbage jumble

Inventory #1

As part of the Give Take Give project, I'll be keeping close track of the the stuff that's circulating through this unique free economy.

Below is the first inventory I have done of the dumpster's contents and area next to it. I'll be fiddling with the format of these inventories in the weeks to come, but basically I'm trying to list all the things I can see in and around the dumpster without actually getting in to it or emptying it out. Each of these inventories will be accompanied by photos taken during my observation.
