Old sayings be damned, anyone who's ever spent a weekend trekking from one yard sale to the next knows that not all trash is convertible to treasure, especially after all the early birds have bought up the good stuff. Still, can the same be said for trash receptacles? There's not a single recycled / upcycled dumpster in Oliver Bishop-Young's eco-conscious, public art project Skip Conversions that doesn't look infinitely better off for having been adaptively reused and turned into something way cooler. The only thing worse than being a trash can your whole life is being chucked in the trash after years of dedicated service.
