%X This article examines the temporal dimension of waste in Henry Mayhew's  London                    Labour and the London Poor as an instance of how modernity has produced a                largely hidden domain of the non-identical and indeterminate. Through a                consideration of the phenomena of uselessness, decay and poverty I argue that the                temporal dimension of waste is constituted as a corrosive or malign `Deadly Time'.                In placing such emphasis on time directed towards death, I aim to show that Mayhew's                undisciplined researches can be seen as a valuable source for understanding why                modern thinking struggles to come to terms with waste.
