Searching Photographs of Old Town Dumps, Trash Wagons

"I am working on an article for the annual report of the Oklahoma Department of Environmental Quality, tracing the history of waste management in Oklahoma. While doing a web search, I came across your webpage and thought you might be able to assist me, or steer me in the right direction.

I am seeking photographs of old town dumps (even better if they are on fire), old horse-drawn trash wagons, or other photos that depict historical waste management practices in Oklahoma. Even something as mundane as an old homestead with maybe the house's trash dump visible in the distance would be good.

I am finding it extremely difficult to find any such photos. I suppose that's because no one felt a picture of a burning dump or a wagon filled with trash was good subject matter!

If you have some photos that you might be willing to contribute to the article, I would greatly appreciate it. Naturally, proper credit would be given to the photographer and to you as the provider. I appreciate your consideration of my request." -- Jon A. Roberts - Email: trwxxa629@cox.net
