When we throw trash away, it goes to a special place called a landfill �. Big trucks take it there, and people bury it under the ground. Some trash can be recycled ♻️, which means it gets turned into new things!
Remember to throw trash in the bin so the Earth stays clean and happy! 🌍
After we throw trash in the bin, it usually goes to one of three places:
Some trash, like food scraps, can even become compost to help plants grow! 🌱
Trash disposal is more complex than you might think! Here’s where it goes:
Most trash ends up in landfills, where it’s buried. Modern landfills have liners to protect soil and water, but they still take up space and produce methane gas.
Recyclables (paper, plastic, metal) go to recycling plants. They’re cleaned, melted, and reshaped into new products. Recycling saves energy and resources!
Some countries burn trash in incinerators to generate electricity, but this can release pollutants.
Organic waste (food, leaves) can decompose into compost, enriching soil.
The best solution? Reduce, reuse, and recycle! ♻️
