Mongo: Adventures in Trash
Journalist Ted Botha became obsessed with mongo (defined as any discarded object that is retrieved) when he moved to New York.

Mongo is Botha's remarkable record of his travels among these varied and eccentric people-an appropriately addictive tribute to this longtime, universal phenomenon.
