Garbage Goes Out! What Happens After That?

Garbage Goes Out! What Happens After That? follows a group of middle school students as they track the path of their school's trash to landfills, recycling centers, and waste-to-energy plants. It covers collection, transport, sorting, landfill operations, recycling, and waste-to-energy technology, with diagrams and real-world examples. Through field trips and conversations with sanitation workers, the students learn how the industry works and how each stage fits into the overall waste-management system.
