It’s nice to see someone do this without it being a result of mental illness.

Of course I think he could also do a decent job of weighing his trash week to week and looking at reasonable methods of cutting down each week. That would avoid the whole smell and explosion in disease causing scavengers/vermin and, of course, the eventual outbreak of bubonic plague.

I attempted this a few years ago. I managed to fill a small 8x8x8 shed of compact, sorted garbage. It was not an enjoyable experience to sort/recycle the aftermath, but was a good exercise in reducing my personal consuption.

I can see that this would be both educational and just down right gross. Course to make a drastic change in your life you have to take a drastic course I suppose.

Cool concept, definitely some educational value. Seeing that he’s just 1/4 done, I’m curious if he’s going to fit it all, the basement doesn’t look like it may be large enough….?

That’s going to be one seriously smelly basement.

It’s an interesting blog. I learned some stuff I didn’t know about getting rid of junk mail. Thanks for the post.

Probably CheeseDuck. I could just imagine him thinking, hmmm, someone already took a picture of themselves everday for a few years, playing video game tunes on my harmonica is so yesterday, what else can I do to get “famous?” Yea, that’s it, I’ll save my trash for one year, document it online, and become the next big thing since soy milk!

If I knew this guy’s address I’d call the cops to notify them of hoarding.

I love that he uses worms to compost his trash.

I’ve heard about him. That’s a pretty interesting idea. My question it what is he going to do with all his trash at the end?
