A Fond Farewell to Dumpsters of Seattle

I have posted two of my favorite Seattle dumpsters today, the last day of dumpsters in Seattle... guess I'll be looking elsewhere for Dumpsters. Or maybe I'll be making paintings of plastic bags.

A Fine Collection Of Dumpsters....

I've been collecting photos of dumpsters for awhile now, and decided to post several of my favorites. I get excited when I see one that's a different color than those that I see in Seattle, such as this light blue one I found driving from Chicago to Cincinnati. It was the highlight of driving through Indiana.
