Waste Sorting: Answer Key

1. Visit a water treatment plant, recycling plant, incinerator, or other resource conservation facility and report back to the club.

2. Visit a recycling center to see how waste is treated. Discover:

  • How many tons of garbage are dumped each week? Every year?
  • What is the use of sorting waste?
  • How is some waste recycled?
  • What is done with non-recyclable waste?
  • How much does it cost per person and per year to collect and destroy garbage in your local municipality?
  • What about toxic products and car wrecks?

3. Set up waste sorting at home and make compost if possible.

4. Create an artistic activity for your club with recovered objects.
