Elevated trash can
This little trash stand is at the house accross the street from where I’m staying in Dangriga. It’s sturdy and even a better solution for keeping dogs out of the trash as plastic cans are easily knocked over.
works in progress.

I'm Drew, and this is my thesis blog. It's research, prototypes, and more.
 
My thesis asks how immediate technology can create an intimate communication experience for people with limited technological access. I'm exploring this with Pigeon, an asynchronous voice message broadcast network accessible through a local phone call. With Pigeon, a person can record a one-minute voice message telling their world what's up.
Sign up and test Pigeon by dialing (713) 574-9488.

I think that is very creative of the owners. The Town Board should take notice of this and encourage it throughout Dangriga. I remember growing up in Dangriga, we were not a rich and affluent Town, but we were clean and healthy. There were Town Board Dirt Boxes at strategic locations in the different areas. There was a particular slogan written on the Dirt Boxes that says “Cleanliness is next to Godliness” We should adopt this old slogan and keep our town clean.
