The fourth grade classes are studying how to recycle and where it goes if you don't. So the fourth grade teachers planned that on September 6 they would take fourth grade on a trip to the landfill. Landfills are not the same as dumps.
Landfills start with a big hole.
As garbage is put in each day it is covered with dirt. All of the trash, leaves, wood and branches get sorted. The wood is turned into wood chips with a very big tractor with pointy wheels. Grass is turned into compost. There is a tractor that chops it up The trash is placed into the big hole.
