Ten new recycling trucks debuted today in Philadelphia, part of a fabulous collaboration involving the Philadelphia Mural Arts program, the Philadelphia Streets Department Recycling Office, and the Design Center at Philadelphia University. Called Design in Motion, the citywide public art program makes use of designs inspired by the textile collection of the Design Center to create vinyl wraps for the city's fleet of recycling trucks. Ten trucks debuted last year; another ten join them this year. Today, Earth Day, the new trucks rolled down Broad Street from Temple University, on their way to Love Park and an Earth Day celebration. I took these photos just south of Temple University.
