Supposedly a Dumpster, by definition is a place where you dump trash. Not anymore. A while ago we did a post on Reusing Dumpsters, but this is a new one. Artist Gregory Kloehn actually lives in one when he is in New York. When you think about, what else do you need. He has a sun roof, toilet, sink, stove, , mini-bar and grill.

He is not the first, German designer Philipp Sting, has envisioned a world in which all people can afford a sustainable home. His livelable dumpsters, include wheels. The dumpsters have 2 parts, the live in and a smaller portable bathtub.

Dutch designer, Rikkert Paauw en Jet van Zwieten is showing the world that trash receptacles can be an effective and creative way to reuse.
