Bright red and bigger than a car, these 16-foot by 6-foot bastions of mobile greenery provide little bits of shade and park bench-style seating for passersby at the expense of a parking space (which is kind of the idea). These mobile dumpster parks that have started sprouting up around the San Fransisco city lately.

Maybe this “garden rental” is something we should look at offering?

Artist Gregory Kloehn has an interesting project. He took a dumpster, used some ingenuity and turned the metal container into a home.

Once you get over the fact that it’s a dumpster, the living quarters are not that bad. The dumpster is small but it’s outfitted with cabinets, a cooking surface, electricity, and all the other basic amenities needed to survive. It even has granite countertops and a hard wood floor. Not too shabby. [YouTube via LikeCool and Nick McGlynn via Gizmodo]

Now you have one more reason to rent dumpsters, especially for the hot summer days.

The Brooklyn swimming pool, dubbed the “lo-fi country club” by Macro Sea, is an impressive first step. The pool took 12 days to construct. The dumpsters, which weren’t being used because of the slow down in construction projects, were cleaned and painted. Rough edges were sanded down. They were then equipped with plastic liners, sandbags (for soft walking), and tarps before being filled with 19,000 gallons of chlorinated water.
