When an object or piece of packaging or a disposable product reaches the end of it's life it is thrown away.
Most of this Rubbish will end up in a landfill, some is recycled.
For most people when the council takes away their bin bags, the narrative of where this rubbish, goes stops there.
There is an invisible network of recycling centres, tips, landfill sights and waste disposal companies.
I would like to track a piece of rubbish to see where it goes and start to reveal this hidden narrative.
I would like for everyone to be more aware of where their rubbish goes so that they think twice about what they throw away and what they might want to keep.
Similar ideas have been explored by MIT, but maybe I can weave in another one of my interests to make my project a bit more me and a but less MIT.
