“Outstanding service. They were extremely careful delivering the extra large container into our driveway.” -- A. L. GARNER
Army hospital during the Revolutionary War. (The church tower’s bell, which still hangs there today, was cast in the same foundry as Philadelphia’s Liberty Bell and was buried by the parishioners to stop the British from melting it down for ammunition.)I eventually found Harman on a side street, standing next to the skip, assessing the cubic sculpture coming together inside. Built from the detritus found in the dumpster—bits of plywood, surprisingly lovely slabs of marble and so much cardboard—the unfinished piece looked as if it would fit next to any Arte Povera work or example of anarchitecture by the artist Gordon Matta-Clark. The rough diagonal line on the front of the work emerged as Harman began to assemble it and discovered that his spirit level was “useless” against the competing slants of the potholed street and the bent steel sides of the dumpster.

CookHarman had been labouring in the lugger, without assistants, for 18-hour stretches for two days, staying until at least midnight and relying on a headlamp to see into the container’s tight, dark corners, since the street light above was broken. After clearing out organic materials (decomposing fruit, a bag of coleslaw, half a chicken squashed in tin foil) and scrubbing the dumpster’s inside walls to get rid of any “dribblage contamination” and smelly residues, he set to work creating order out of chaos. Although he sketches out ideas for the structure, he does not know what the finished work will look like until he starts building it. But he always starts with an understanding of the materials he has to work with, in this case everything from cement blocks, bricks and a large-format printer hidden at the core of the sculpture to scraps of paper, Styrofoam and sheets of black rubber. “You start getting a feel for different weights and a sense of how it will come out,” Harman says. During the visit, he cut cardboard boxes into smaller strips and broke apart wooden pallets—New York apparently has “the strongest known to man”—to create Skip 16’s sedimenta... (Art Newspaper)
Lena Andrews is an organizer and member of the neighborhood group East Liberty Trash Warriors. “Everyone has between 9 and 11 to pick up as much trash as you can, and put it in a designated place, and at 11 you have to stop,” Andrews said. Then the Clean Pittsburgh Commission, which works on the city’s litter and dumping issues, will weigh the collected trash bags in East Liberty, Lawrenceville, Bloomfield, Garfield and the Strip District to determine which neighborhood takes home the gold.Andrews says as far as rules go, teams aren’t allowed to take trash out of garbage cans or dumpsters, or place heavy non-trash items into the bags to get an advantage. She’s not too worried about that, anyway.“I mean, I think people who pick up litter aren’t really cheaters,” Andrews laughed.And anyway, she said, it’s not about who wins.“I like the nature of competition, to me the Olympics says ‘competition.’ But it also says ‘participation.’”Andrews says in the two years she’s been participating in bi-monthly cleanups in East Liberty, she’s really appreciated getting to know her neighbors and working together on the problem of litter.Sarah Shea from Pennsylvania Resources Council is the chair of ...

Norton Sound fire. They are now removing firefighters from vessel, letting it burn #NBC7pic.twitter.com/vsCIZdEHOT — Liberty Zabala (@LibertyNBC7SD) September 29, 2017Chris Webber, Assistant Chief of Emergency Operations with SDFD told NBC 7 that ship fires are extremely difficult to manage due to a number of factors.“These ship fires are very dangerous,” Webber told NBC 7. “If you think about it, it’s almost like a high-rise building sitting on its side. We practice and train for it as part of our normal thing but, as you can see, they are difficult. We have to pull lines all the way down to the end of the pier so that they can get into the ship.”Fire Continues to Burn on Boat in San Diego BayBy Sunday, SDFD spokesperson Monica Munoz said officials had measured the ship's temperature at 100 degrees and, as far as they could see, the fire was contained.Munoz said investigators were having a tough time tracking down the current owners of the ship, as their information was not found in the Coast Guard's database. The ship had been docked at the harbor for several months.span id="embeddedVideo04" class="embedded video C" data-cid="44868... (NBC 7 San Diego)

But it won't include grass clippings, twigs or leaves.Genoa, Liberty and Orange townships each are seeing a surge of new homes along their southern border with Franklin County. And all of their refuse adds substantially to the growing waste stream.Monday night, trustees in Liberty and Orange voted to accept Rumpke Waste and Recycling's bid, which will cost residents $15.39 per month for curbside trash and recycling. That's about $2 per month higher than a similar contract they've had for the past three years. And yard waste is not included. The inclusion of yard waste pickup would have added more than five dollars more per month to that bill.Genoa last week approved the same three-year deal.The head of the Delaware Knox Marion Morrow Solid Waste Management District said she's pleased that the contract includes recycling, but would like more communities to include yard waste, which often ends up in landfills."I am sure there may be a handful of residents that feel yard waste put to the curb should be composted," DKMM district director Jenna Hicks wrote to Liberty Township officials. Currently, yard waste is treated as trash and en... (The Columbus Dispatch)
