Dumpster "Dive"

I love this idea! Old dumpsters turned into urban pools. This project was developed by a trio of design creatives at Macro|Sea, they created secret pool hangouts in abandoned parking lots in Brooklyn. Their objective, to show people that "with not too much expense you can creatively reuse what is basically considered urban detritus and make something really cool and fun and also fairly easy to put together.” It took them 12 days to gather their materials and assemble the pool. All you need is a big dumpster, seal up the seams, add a liner, fill it with sand for a soft bottom, add a tarp and a lot of water. Portland, take note....2010.
