On a daily basis remnants, scraps, rubbish, and junk are filtered through both formal and informal salvage operations in urban centers throughout the world. The essays included in this volume - Muffler Men, Menecos and Other Welded Wonders: Occupational Sculpture from Automotive Debris, Streetwise: The Mafundi of Dar es Salaam, and Castoff/Outcast: Living on the Street - explore the process of recycling within distinct environments. What emerges is a remarkable justaposition of diverse material behaviours informing the lived experiences of residents of Los Angeles, Tokyo, Sao Paulo, and Dar es Salaam.
