This is a metal scrap yard on the Queens side of the creek. Day in and day out a crane loads old automobiles onto a barge that is towed out to sea, most likely to a metal processing plant abroad. The number one export from the U.S. to China is scrap and trash - a great portion of which originally came to America from China itself. The discards I collected originated from all over the globe, and will probably end up in a landfill somewhere on the East Coast, or even back in Asia as downcycled plastic. Just as there are thousands of highly complex routes that products may travel from producer to consumer, so too similarly intricate routes exist for the disposal of former products. A global balance of sorts.
