Inspired by Rube Goldberg, this “Recycling Machine” was operated from the back by people standing on scaffolding. The trash falls and is propelled from skate boards, boots, and buckets. Smoke blows out of the trumpets, the trash spins around in the dryer, and shoots out of the mouth and into the garbage can. On each side, garbage bags elevate on two conveyers.
