VIDEO: Art at the Dump: From Trash to Treasure
In San Francisco, artists are transforming trash into artwork as part of an innovative program at the city dump. Recology, the city's solid waste provider, sponsors an artists-in-residence program; artists scavenge through "junk" the public has thrown away and then use it in their work. Join the artists as they hunt for treasure amid 30-foot tall garbage heaps. And if you dig even deeper around Recology's grounds, you might just run into a hawk or two.

Super cool. My favorite part of the exhibit was the area that the artists had placed an assortment of practically new items that had been discarded, and guests could take stuff home to repurpose it.
Wow! This video is a treasure trove of great inspiration! Now I know what to do with my scrap wood and
old paint! Kudos to you!.
