We fill our trash cans with leftover food, paper plates, plastic knives and forks, packaging, off-cuts from fresh food, and all manner of other rubbish. Once the bag is full we tie it up and haul it out to the dumpster and wait for the garbage men to come and empty it. Then we start over again and that’s how it goes. We didn’t used to stop and consider what happened to it after it was hauled off.
Once your garbage bag hits the dumpster it begins a rather odd journey. The dumpster is emptied by the garbage truck, and then your garbage bag lands in a pile with hundreds of other garbage bags on its journey to a processing plant or landfill. The United States generates something in the region of two hundred and twenty-eight million tons of garbage per year and all the perishables are usually thrown into a landfill site.
Since the environment has become a focal point for ecologists, recycling has become prominent in many communities. We are becoming ever more conscious to retain out plastic, tins, cans, glass and paper to recycle it rather than throw it in with regular garbage. We now have recycling plants and processing plants that can take your garbage and transform it into something new. Plastics can be re-processed, clean and shaped into something else. Soda cans can be melted down and re-molded into a new can with more drink it in. Tin cans that once contained food can also be recycled and filled with a different sort of food for next time.
