Save the Planet

What happens to all of the things we throw in the trash? Garbage goes to the dumpster, a truck comes to pick it up, but then what happens to it?

Each person collects 4.3 pounds of their own garbage per year, on average.

Altogether, Americans collect around 254 million tons of garbage each year.
