這紐約的回收桶有一格寫明是[剩餘的食物], 方便露宿者去撿.
有非議:怎可把食物丟到垃圾桶, 可是露宿者明明已經在垃圾桶裡找食物, 而不少人也一直把食物當垃圾.

Nicole Howell turned her ‘Toss With Care’ trash can design thesis project into a full on mission to better understand homelessness in New York City, and along the way, she became fascinated with trash divers. Her project, Toss with Care, which developed out of her initial experiment the (trash)poline, was design to not only act as a traditional trash receptacle, but also a recycling can and a place for edible leftovers for street dwellers in search of food.
Some people didn’t find the humor in Nicole’s design, but hopefully it made them think twice about what they were regarding as trash, especially if it were a recyclable or, more importantly, edible food. From this initial design, Nicole expanded her creativity and developed the trifecta of trash cans and placed them around the city, then documented how people responded to the cans.
