A dump container filled with asbestos-laden demolition debris sits in the alley behind a state office building in downtown Austin, Texas in November, 2020. Renovation and construction projects continue unabated in Austin during the pandemic where other endeavors have closed shop. This dumpster adjacent to a construction site is full of asbestos, which was used in insulation, flooring and flame retardant materials in the 50's and '60's.
