The 20-foot-tall, 40-foot-long statue
is currently in the backyard of its creator, artist Olin Calk. The statue was
completed in 1993 as part of a recycling education program and was stationed
that year at what was then the Las Cruces Foothills Landfill as a way to
encourage creative recycling projects.
It moved in 2001 to a rest area just
west of Las Cruces
off I-10 where it became a familiar landmark to thousands of travelers.
The
city has paid $26,000 to remove and reconstruct the statue.
