We (the five artists) actually have this little "work area" in the bay of the transfer station (the city dump). It truly doesn't look like much, but it's a "safe" area at one end of the bay where we can stash our gleanings, sort the materials, and take things apart. We find wonderful treasures in the trash, leaving them here for each other to find (we all seem to come in at different times of the week). There are three large plastic carts on wheels which we move around with us to help carry any loads of "stuff" that we might find. I always bring a small box (the green plastic box on the cart) filled with some tools from home, including a case cutter as well as a cordless drill, etc. A funny (not-so-funny) thing happened the other day...someone who was off-loading trash "stole" something off of my cart !! Avoiding any confrontation, I just let her have it...it seemed that she maybe needed it more than I did. I will watch my cart much more closely from now on!
