When thinking about waste disruption, I think of how cities treat homeless people. The dynamic between large cities and their homeless populations is very hostile. The people are treated as waste and are seen as a nuisance to the authorities and the general public. Homeless people “disrupt” the cities in the eyes of city officials. Their presence and relativity to waste and trash make people feel like it is okay to treat them as such. I think of hostile infrastructure and how homelessness is often used as a talking point for city officials. I have often seen politicians say that they will lower homeless rates and “clean up the city”. They claim these things to gain support from people yet they often do nothing about it, or somehow, make the problem worse. This connects to how impactful forms of waste can drastically change an area and shift political movements.
