As some cities watch their garbage pile up in the streets, at least one person is finding new uses for trash.
Jordan's Alaa Ziadeh is building some of the most beautiful things using his garbage from around the city. Ziadeh first started by selling "upcycled" objects at a bookstand, which ultimately turned into a brand, Ziadat For Recycling .
