Keeping Las Vegas Beautiful

Dumpsters abound in Las Vegas. And in America.

"Makeover"

The lonely dumpster is placed at the outer edge of the living circle.

"Conversion"

Placed either unceremoniously at the edge of peopled habitat or treated with disregard and yet some effort to hide its identity by housing it in its own cubicle.

"Change"


"Alteration"


"Adaptation"


"Renovation"


"Renewal"


"Regeneration"


"Reformation"


"Rebirth"

While dumpsters themselves are ugly and often unsightly in appearance, they provide an option for beauty in our civic streets by taking the unwanted and no longer needed trash, manufactured by human living, and beginning the first step in the never ending cycle of material transformation.

"Transformation"


"Shift"


"Revolution"

All hail the lonely and ugly dumpster.

"Revival"

One of the first steps in renewal of all types.

"Revision"

Las Vegas is a walking city....at least on the Strip. Crossing Las Vegas Blvd. is easy in some spots due to the overhead walkways. Some lead you directly into hotels....
