Come to New York. Come Swim in a Dumpster.

Using homeless people as floats has never had more meaning than now!  Welcome to New York, grab a tetanus shot, and come swim in our dumpsters….literally!  What was an idea stolen from the people of a little place called “Georgia,” found its way to Brooklyn and is now making its way directly into Manhattan around the Park Ave area.

“Newish” dumpsters were cleaned out, lined with plastic, and have  filtration systems added to them.  Add a little water and (please God) some chemicals and, PRESTO, you have yourself a swimming pool for all the sketchiest of people in NYC to swim in.  In a rented hidden lot in Brooklyn, three connected dumpsters had been filled with water and to finish things off a boccie court, lounge chairs, grills, and cabanas had been added and was cooling its people off for weeks.

Since that was so successful last year, this year Dumpster Pools are being added to the east side of Park Ave between 40th and 41st Streets.  The dumpster pools are encircled by a metal deck, changing rooms, and portable showers and toilets.  Why bother going in the pool?  Just pee directly on me.  These pools will be open from 7am to 1pm, prime walking and slurring time for the homeless.

So next time you’re digging in a rusted out dumpster looking for the Olsen Twins, just think, “I could be swimming in there with them right now!”  You got it dude!
