We’ve all seen trash in our neighbourhoods, but have you ever wondered what happens to it once it’s picked up? Where does it go, and how is it recycled?

The journey of trash can be surprising! It might be taken to a landfill, burned, or sorted for recycling. But did you know that many things we throw away could be reused or transformed into something new?

Here are some fun questions to think about:
•⁠  ⁠Who collects the trash in your area? Is it a garbage truck, a group, or someone else?
•⁠  ⁠Where do you think the trash goes after it’s picked up?
•⁠  ⁠Do you know if anything from the trash gets recycled? How does that happen?

Bonus Mission: Ask a parent, teacher, or neighbour about recycling in your area and share what you learn in the comments.
