BETTERBIN

“and they shall beat their swords into plowshares, and their spears into pruning hooks”

Isaiah 2:4

BETTERBIN makes do with what NYC already has, showcases reuse, reduction of waste and innovative recycling by a spectacular example on a scale of city. BETTERBIN is made from the copious amounts of sheet metal already in use by the City – silver MTA subway cars and blue busses, yellow & green TLC cabs, red FDNY trucks, white & blue NYPD vehicles, white and green DSNY cleaners – everything that at the end of their service life ends up at the scrapyards. BETTERBIN states “this is a living city that cares about its waste and recognizes the difference between termination of use and termination of usefulness”
