Giant Can Man

Sitting on top of the Am-Mex recycling centre in East LA sits a giant aluminium can man.

Apparently, there’s a stack of cash to be made in recycling aluminum cans, because he has a fist full of dollars in one hand, and a bag of cash in the other. Also, judging by those well-toned biceps, he can afford a personal trainer.

Apparently Giant Can Man once had a giant lady can friend on the roof beside him, but these days he happily dangles his legs over the recycling center all by himself.
