“Urban” photos of graffiti-laden dumpsters are so retro they’re like wearing ripped-up jackets and mohawk haircuts.

Red dumpster graffitied with ‘Notice: No dirt, brick or concrete’

Dirt, brick, and concrete are dumped at the foot of the Leslie St. Spit, adding to the peninsula it is. An astonishing waste-management policy, but it actually provides habitat for birds.

I just can’t get over the effort required to vinyl-wrap a Mini to advertise waste management. (And what a transparent tax write-off!)

I don’t quite understand why we need a garage with an angled cantilevered roof in the wastelands of the Toronto harbour, but here it is. I think the fire-alarm annunciator is a hopeful touch. Do materials like these even burn?
