If you’re looking for dumpster rental Durham, dumpster rental Rochester, or dumpster rental anywhere, you’re probably looking for something to chuck your trash into. BUT there is something much much cooler you probably haven’t heard of, because most people haven’t heard of it quite yet. New York (although you can expect to see it in other cities come spring) has come up with a new use for its supply of dumpsters. A really really cool use that serves urban renewal purposes and also accents down turned areas and community building.

It is a pretty simple idea taken from multiple investors and inventors and transported around. All you need is some secluded space just out of the public eye, dumpsters, plastic, water, and furniture. Instant pool and grill club.

How you ask? These swimming locations take old or unused dumpsters and have then thoroughly cleaned with all sharp edges filed down to smoothness. Once that’s done you line them with sand or foam and put a high quality plastic lining in complemented with a filter system and then several cubic yards of warm water. With a quick deck (if you want to be fancy) a grill and a bar you have an urban resort center, an exclusive swimming club which, unfortunately, is still rather limited in the amount of people it an service. Dumpsters aren’t that big after all.

But the implications are marvelous. Taking trash and turning into a party (for surprisingly cheap) bringing novel entertainment options to communities with empty lots—there is a lot more going on here than a simple makeshift pool area, and hopefully we’ll start seeing them pop up everywhere.
