Follow that garbage truck!
... to the landfill to see how trash keeps piling up
... to the incinerator to see how trash can be turned into energy
... to the recycling center to see how a soda bottle can be turned into a flowerpot
Clearly written and accessible to young children, Where Does the Garbage Go? shows how we deal with the problem of too much trash and provides ideas for easy ways to be a part of the solution. Diagrams explain how a landfill is built and how an incinerator works. Reading this descriptive book is like taking a class trip to the local trash and recycling center!
My 3 year old grandson loves this book. I bought it for him because he loves to watch the garbage truck come by every week. This book really taught him what happens to the garbage after pick-up.

This book satisfies a child's natural curiosity about the everyday world around us. That garbage that we carry out in big plastic bags after raking the lawn, cleaning out the cellar, or tidying up the kitchen - you just have to wonder where all this garbage ends up!
Well done volume on a timely subject.

My 8 year old read this book to me for health. We are learning about waste and pollution. This book includes at dumps, landfills, ocean dumping, incineration, recycling, the end uses, and reducing our garbage to begin with. A very good book that I would recommend for grades 1-3rd. It would also make a good book for social studies.
