The value of rubbish

Take two equal heaps of garbage. Imagine a really cheap container, which itself is rather garbagelike. Put the first heap of rubbish in it. Then imagine a gleaming new container that looks worthy of other respectable uses, such as storing biriyani. Put the second pile in that. Then tell me, isn't the second pile of garbage just a wee bit more respectable?

Well, if clothes maketh a man, why can't containers maketh rubbish? Anyway, here's a Mid Day story on the Mumbai municipality's plan to enhance the value of garbage across the city.
