waste management in kitchener-waterloo

i had the privilege of going on a trip with my daughter's class 
to the region of waterloo's waste management facilities earlier this week.

first of all - it was a great trip.  
the students loved it and i think they learned a thing or two!

as always, i brought my camera along and i'm so glad i did.  
there are a few images i want to share with you.

this is what the landfill looks like:
the garbage you can see was dumped within 
24 hours of the photo being taken.
that's a lot of garbage...
(can you imagine a years worth?)

now here are some images of the many things 
that can be recycled and should not be in the landfill...



 please recycle friends, 
and use your green bins!
(for those of you who have not heard, 
timmy cups can be recycled or, even better, 
go in the green bin for composting!)
