‘Mount Recyclemore’ as it is aptly named, is a one of a kind sculpture located on a beach in Britian’s Cornwall.

 

This sculpture made by artists Joe Rush and Alex Wreckage is made of various kinds of electronic waste.

 

It was intended to be made ahead of the G7 summit, at Hayle Towans in Cornwall, Britain.

 

The artwork depicts a stunning image of the G7 leaders looking towards Carbis Bay.
