In the end we seem to dump legally and otherwise everything that we create. Where else can our trash go, other than getting recycled, but somewhere on the planet ?
We trash school buses, shopping carts, intercontinental warheads, shoes and bycycles, railroad ties, boats and ships.......

That's the subject of this contest.......the most unexpected, funniest and most environmentally sad, inexplicable and routine...the odd trash around us.

At the same time , I shall ask you to stay within the bounds of an established sense of good taste, keeping in mind the fact that this is an all age channel. Also, your posts should not be incriminatory of practices of any specific and/or identifiable individuals, peoples, ethnic groups or corporate entities, and such.
So let us explore this Planet "Dump" with our cameras.

We have till tomorrow night 23:00 hrs EST to submit the entries, which gives us almost 24 hrs.

Another unique and good idea PetKal. I just tried to upload a couple of 'junkers' but there's a glitch so I'll try again later.

There is something about shopping carts in the place I live. One can find them discarded in the most unlikely places....as if it is some kinda ritual. These two ended up in a brook in a natural conservation area west of Toronto.

That's a nice landscape scene you captured Webby......an old gas/fuel tank so belongs in there with other fall colours.
BTW, nice avatar. Your kids are so cute, your dogs are so ugly.......finally it seems to have dawned on you which way to go, eh ?
