What would waste relations be like if they were conceptualized as waste care rather than waste management? To explore this inquiry in practice, we examine two different ethnographic examples of dwelling with waste: (1) smart home technologies as part of ageing healthcare services in regional Australia and (2) bokashi composting as an alternative waste practice in urban Finland. Bringing together scholarship on infrastructures from design anthropology, and waste studies with new materialist and feminist perspectives, we propose infra-ecologies of waste care as an analytical tool to unpack complex care relations embedded in everyday waste practices.
