Garbage Cans in Montreal

A collection of garbage cans and the image of a dirty city

+ Montreal is considered to be a dirty city. The local media reports it and it can be noticed as well. I documented the use of garbage cans which are often cram-full . The project is at the same time a collection of different types of garbage cans, which differ from an neighborhood to the other. I even discovered a recycling garbage can! In 'Old Montreal ',  an area which is  frequented by VIP and tourists and obviously represents Montreal's show case. Let's see if new programs, which are discussed by the head of the city, will be sucessful and make Montreal become a clean city.
