Fraser MacDonald and Friarton Waste Management Depot




We visited the impressive Friarton Waste Management depot in Perth to view the proposed location for Fraser Macdonald’s Garbologists HQ hut. Above the main depot is the Friarton Recycling Centre and the rather excellent Web Walk which is an educational route for schools to see the history of recycling from Stonehenge to present day. 


It looks likely that the hut can be sited on a gravel area in front of the Web Walk and to the left of the red Ford Fiesta springing out of the hillside in a style reminiscent of the Berlin-based artists, Elmgreen & Dragset and their 2003 work ‘Short Cut’ http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Short_Cut.jpg



The Perth depot is next to a river and has apple trees growing next to the Web Walk.
