Right outside the laundry room, my personal exit door into the outside world, is a large pile of incongruous and miscellaneous items; a useless stove sits beside a plastic dresser, odds and ends of a broken towel hanger, a shoddy framed painting of flowers, and discarded plastic containers filled with random and seemingly disposable debris. These materials are the product of wanton spending and the hesitancy to discard large, non-decomposing, and unconventional trash items that are functionless. Thus, instead of these items sitting in a landfill, they have accumulated into a standing repository of junk, a hodgepodge assemblage of clutter. There is a recycling bin filled to the brim with standard recyclable items (aluminum cans, beer bottles, paper products, and sundry food containers); why is it seemingly impossible to get rid of the other trash? What resources do we have?
