Waste - Then & Now

 A friend sent me a YouTube link to a video of East Londoners in 1958.

One thing struck me - a dustman swung a bin on to his shoulders and it was tiny.


The amount of waste we produce has gone exponential. We now have wheelie bins about 4 times the size of the old bins, along with half a dozen crates and bags for the recyclables. Waste has become a waste.
