Garbage collection in Ewa Beach, 2005.02.15

On O'ahu, the city gives you a special garbage can, which you wheel out to the street on garbage day. The garbage trucks have these robot arms with which they pick up the garbage can and toss your garbage into themselves. The way Tom put it is “An industrial robot picks up my trash!” These pictures were taken near Tom and Tigris’ old place in Ewa Beach.
