I got interested in garbage in 2001, entirely by accident and more or less against the grain. The story of what actually happened is available in greater detail here: http://www.interfacility.com/personalpages/landfill/thoughts/waking.html.

Now, I’ve undertaken to explore the bayshore and visit every garbage dump in the Bay Area–whether open or closed, whether turned into park or used for other purposes. Updates on these landfill adventures will appear in this blog.
