On the one hired hand , turning old dumpsters into employee housing is clever recycling . Which is unspoiled ! On the other hand , you ’re living in an old dumpster — which is why the Chengmai factory in China has spruced the place up .
From the pic , the dumpster digs do n’t seem too bad — a cheery facade , a small gymnasium , and hey ! net access ! The full structure consists of only ten containers , which now house 40 laborers — so we can assume quarter are pretty rigorous .
And whether the rhytidectomy is more a cosmetic attempt to mask the fact that these guys are living indoors of low trash crates , or a literal effort to make their lives easier , is another question entirely . [ cinaoggi ]
