Background for Teachers:

The garbage from your home, apartment or townhome iscollected by garbage trucks and taken to one of five transferstations located throughout Palm Beach County. At thetransfer station, garbage is transferred onto large semi-trailer trucks. The large trucks can hold 4 truck loads of thesmaller ones. This procedure allows the smaller trucks moretime on their route, it reduces traffic on the highway andsaves fuel.

After the garbage is loaded into the larger trucks, it is

driven to the Solid Waste Authority of Palm BeachCountys Waste-to-Energy facility in West Palm Beach.The lightweight garbage is shredded and burned so that itcan be used as a fuel source to generate electricity. Theashes leftover from the burning process are placed in asanitary landfill along with any unburned garbage.(Sometimes people say that garbage goes into a dump;however, dumps are no longer used because they werenotenvironmentally-friendly. State and federal regulationsrequire landfills to have many environmental protectivesystems installed and maintained. In addition, the landfill is

monitored on a regular basis.)

The landfill is filling up rapidly because so many peoplethrow away a lot of garbage. One way to stop the landfillfrom filling up is to recycle as much of the garbage aspossible. Right now in Palm Beach County, the followingitems are recyclable at home:

2. Briefly explain how garbage is processed (refer to theBackground section and use the illustration of the TransferStation).

3. Stress the fact that landfills are filling up quickly and that meansmore land will be used for this purpose instead of providinghomes to animals, people and plants. Emphasize that we canreduce the amount of garbage we throw away by recycling.

4. Draw the recycling symbol on the chalkboard and write the wordRecycle and explain what recycling means. Show a recyclesymbol on a product.

5. Tell the students that we can recycle many things. Show picturesof the recyclables (use enclosed pictures) accepted in PalmBeach Countys recycling program.
