A Handful of São Paulo Trash Cans Got a World-Cup Makeover

In the real São Paulo, running over to somebody to dump a load of trash in his backpack might get you more than a dirty look. But fans of random rubbish-bombing (if there are such people?) can now enjoy vicarious release thanks to these fanciful alterations to three of the city's litter bins, reimagining them as packs slung over the shoulders of seriously glum-looking dudes.

These surreal interventions are a collaborative effort from Berlin's Mentalgassi collective and Brazilian street artist Mundano, who when not amusingly decorating trash containers makes pretty sweet anti-FIFA statements. They accomplished the transformation this month as a tribute to Pimp My Corroça, a social-justice celebration of Brazil's legions of urban-garbage pickers.
