Landing at the Dump

It's not everyday that most people go to the dump. But now, even some people aren't going there at all. The Neal Road Landfill has had a steady decline of trash due to the economy. Yeah, because people are buying less things, there is less trash. Who thought there would be something positive in the economic downturn? I headed out to photograph what it is like for those who still are dropping things off there.
