Abstract

Through an ethnographic study of waste handling in Lagos, we follow the ‘flow of rubbish’ to explore the value entanglement between urban dwellers and the materiality of rubbish. We draw on a practiced theory of value creation/destruction to understand how object recursively move in and out of its ‘rubbish’ state.
