one family's junk...


It's cleanup week in Port Moody. Check out the stuff that I saw down the street. To help with spring cleaning, the city allows residents to put out almost anything non-toxic and non-explosive for pickup. People put their stuff out a few days ahead of their scheduled garbage day. Then the scavengers come out. Neighbours take other neighbours' junk. Flea market dealers load up trucks. People who just need something go out and look and usually find it. It's a strange and beautiful phenomenon. A cross between environmental sustainability and feeding the sharks.

question: do you do this in your city?
