WHERE DOES
OUR RUBBISH
GO?


Once a week the bin lorry comes to your house to empty your wheelie bin. The bin lorry takes all the rubbish to the landfill site. The landfill site is a big hole in the ground, and all the rubbish in the big lorry gets dumped into it. Diggers spread out the rubbish and squash it all down to make room for more rubbish. Once it is full up, it is covered with soil to hide it.

Landfill site

The problem is, all our landfill sites are getting fuller and fuller, and soon we will need some new ones. Landfills are ugly smelly and dangerous. It wouldn't be very nice if a new landfill site was opened near your house, would it??!

So what could we do with our rubbish so that we don't have to open a new landfill site as quickly?
