Union Tat Round 1!


An example of the rewards you would reap if you attended NINE TRADES OF DUNDEE: FINAL GATHERING on the 17th July. Synonymous with opening bank accounts or getting to the semi final of a short tennis tournament in younger years, this furry wee beast has been adapted as the mascot to the Garbologists! Any company related paraphernalia may find its way into our display at the final gathering, come along and fill your pockets!

Magic Tree & Magic Forest!


The bin motors may change, the crew on each of the motors may change, but one thing remains constant....Magic Tree! This wee belter keeps the cab in the motor smelling pretty clever as it fills with tonnes and tonnes of fragrant waste. There's an art exhibition on in Dundee just now called 'Magic Forest', by Kimberley Bright. It has loads of the trusty trees hanging from a rear view mirror! Good luck getting close to it, it smells like twenty taxis (quite strong). Its at Gallery, A New Contemporary Space. Details can be found at www.galleryanewcontemporaryspace.com

Not Entirley Practical!

You'd get a fair amount of rubbish falling through the holes in this grand spectacle! Its a truck made by artist Wim Delvoye, and I'm sure is used purely for ornamental reasons! Its made by laser cutting patterns in wood to get the intricate patterns. Reckon if all the bin motors looked like this it'd be a like a ghost fleet of lorries from Victorian times!
