The Dumpsters of Oberlin 23
June 19, 2017
The paint on this dumpster was so fresh that I could smell it. I find it touching that the dumpster owner chose to paint this dumpster two colors. Surely that wasn’t necessary. But what fun. Still, I can’t help dreaming about how it might have looked before its makeover.
Romancing Reality 
Take pride in one’s dumpster seems to be the message. I think I read that this dumpster was on a construction site. Maybe the construction team wish us to conclude that a well cared for dumpster is evidence of the quality and care applicable to all their construction work.

This is actually a different dumpster from the one shown in the posts of the last five days. But it is on another construction site, so I think your musings still apply. It’s parked on the Oberlin College campus, and just this morning I wondered if it was painted yellow and red because those are—more or less—the college colors. Maybe the college even owns this dumpster.

Andy has a good point. The fresh paint and clean appearance give us insight into its caretaker.
