Garbage as Sculpture

SUMMARY: Want to take home a piece of New York City? How about picking up some authentic garbage?

One of the more unique travel collectibles you may ever see, NYC Garbage offers just that - garbage from New York City.

But this garbage is not just a mishmash of plastic bags and coffee cups; each selection of garbage is arranged by artist Justin Gignac and placed inside a signed, numbered, and dated cube. And, according to the author, each box "is unique and won't leak or smell", so there's little chance of the smell of reeking Reuben sandwiches entering your home.

While you can buy random collections of garbage, seasonal collections are sometimes available such as Yankee Stadium garbage (oh, the peanuts and popcorn!) and garbage collected from the Times Square New Year's Eve celebrations.
