Where Does It All Go?



When it comes to trash it's typically out of sight, out of mind. Some folks are trying to change that and in the process change perspectives on recycling, waste, the environment, and sustainability.

Trash | Track is an investigation into understanding the 'removal-chain' in urban areas. TrashTrack uses hundreds of small, smart, location aware tags, which are attached to different types of trash so that these items can be followed through the city's waste management system, revealing the final journey of our everyday objects in a series of real time visualizations.
