All it took to get the ball rolling on an old middle school remodeling project that had constantly been put on the back burner was a single dumpster with a chute.
A stalled remodeling project on an old middle school in Minnesota is getting back on track after the college which owns the building decided bring in a dumpster and replace the roof which was in desperate need of repair.
The Northfield Middle School, which is now owned by Carleton College, was scheduled to be remodeled to house classrooms and other facilities, but the Northfield News reports that the poor economy halted the project.
But school officials declared that the roof needed to be replaced immediately to avoid damage to the building, especially portions built in the 1910.
The paper says that a number of provisions are being made to make sure dust and construction debris from the roof makes its way into the dumpster container and stays there.
According to the news provider, a commercial dumpster will be placed on the property with a chute which will take construction waste from the room. During the evening a tarp will also be placed on the dumpster to avoid construction debris from being blown around.
Carlton College says that after remodeling, the former Northfield Middle School will house a number of multiple-use classrooms along with a teaching museum and a number of art-related facilities including dance studios and multiple theaters.
Off topic, here is a music video about garbage, recycling and dumpsters. The imagery is beautiful in this video:
