How does the trash in your 'nabe measure up to the rest of the city's? NY Moon and Last Night's Trash documented different neighborhood's garbage, and while there's no trash-tallying competition, the discarded items speak volumes at times.
The now endangered Lower East Side had "rocker clothes," Bushwick had a smashed guitar, Flushing sported a "Met's Suck 2X" sign, and Park Slope had a badly stained mattress. What was in your neighborhood? Click here to find out. And if you're looking for some good street finds, you just missed the holy grail of dumpster dives, which occurs on Third Avenue and 12th Street when the NYU kids leave school.

nice looking site, but the map would be way better if it had more than one specimen. and if they opened up actual garbage to inspect.
If Family Ties was still on the air, perhaps this would have been Nick Moore's claim to fame.
They totally left out SoHo, which maybe has the best garbage on earth. I've found neat architectural samples, among other things, and one time I had gigantic free shampoo samples stuffed in my mailbox (I live on the outer fringes of the neighborhood).
