One Man's Trash

Overview

For 34 years, Nelson Molina has worked for the NYC Department of Sanitation, developing a unique relationship to the objects that fill the garbage bags lining the streets. With a keen curatorial eye for finding treasure in household trash, Nelson has created a collection of found objects in a sanitation garage in East Harlem, which he refers to as a museum of "Treasures in the Trash." This collection is a reflection of the community he has been serving and is perfect for a festival based in Harlem! As the film follows Nelson on his route and through his collection, he encourages us to see the things that we encounter in daily life anew.
