The Cummings Road Landfill features a reflective typological inventory of the mechanical infrastructure and mysterious subterranean activities of my community’s largest collectively constructed entity.

The site’s squirting pumps and bubbling methane fields, for example, curiously resemble the geothermal features one finds in places like Yellowstone National Park.
