MonoMonday ~ Recycling

This MonoMonday challenge could have come a week earlier while we were still in Mexico where recycling is an art form - just about everything there started life as something else. Regardless, we are in California for a month and are still surrounded by recycling activities, though they are much more formalized. Recycling bins are everywhere and all large businesses make an effort to reduce their waste output. I spotted these stacks of compressed and bundled cardboard boxes outside of Costco this afternoon while we were on a shopping excursion. They created some nice patterns and the forklift parked next to them provided a smooth bit of contrast to their rugged texture.
