Look two seconds at GarbageScout. This is the kind of Web 2.0 we’d like to see more. We all know recycling could produce nice-and-cheap or cheap-but-nice products. But when it comes to recycle, we don’t know where and what to take from the streets.GarbageScout provides an interactive online map based on the Google Map toolkit. Every spot corresponds to a place where you can find garbage; some people have even taken a photo shot to show them to you. Currently the map only cover New-York downtown.
Some examples New-Yorkers could grab now. A Jake Arnolt’s Truecrime book in very good state at 331, west 21st. A chair in the rubble at 310 east 9th street. Or a magazine table at 293, west 12th.
With this kind of map, our streets would be as clean as in Switzerland and we won’t let any chance to the garbage man to take away some still valuable pieces.
