This Amazing Trash Sculpture Has Inspired Me To Never Throw Away Old Car Parts
This Amazing Trash Sculpture Has Inspired Me To Never Throw Away Old Car Parts-April 2024
2024-02-19 EST 22:13:36

I just came back from England, where I spotted this incredible 23-foot tall sculpture made of all sorts of junk parts. I need one of these on my front lawn right now. Take a closer look at all the junk that make up this amazing beast.

The waste sculpture is called the WEEE Man, and it’s found in a large plant conservatory called in Cornwall, England. The whole idea of the sculpture, erected in 2005, is to spread awareness about the waste of electrical and electronic equipment (hence the name “WEEE”), and to encourage people stop chucking all this junk into the garbage bin.

And it’s definitely worked—well, on me at least. I’ve got tons of spare lying around that I’d gladly re-purpose into an awesome sculpture like this. Have a closer look. You can clearly see an angle grinder and a drill (most likely from Harbor Freight):

The sculpture weights 3.6 tons, which, The Eden Project says, is the same amount the average household in Great Britain throws away in a lifetime. Here are some of the items that make up the Real Life:

Now to see if my landlord will allow me to build my own on the front lawn.

This Restomod 1956 Hyster Forklift Is Certified Fresh
It’s one thing for you to be forklift certified, but it’s quite another thing for your forklift to be certified badass. Most of the forklifts I’ve used at jobs have been unreliable, smelly monstrosities that have been repaired by . This restomod Hyster is definitely not like that. What’s...
