Excess/Trash

Most cities have scheduled days each month when oversized garbage, like furniture, is picked up in each neighbourhood. Basurama, a collective interested in urban waste, helps residents looking for furniture or appliances to travel to a particular neighbourhood on the correct date and at the right time. Basurama relays the scheduling information and organizes transportation for street shoppers interested in saving money and avoiding waste. Basurama was formed in 2002 at the Madrid School of Architecture. The collective works in Europe, the United States, and South America.
