Talking Trash Part 1

With the tools to reduce what goes in your trash, you can realize how reducing, reusing and recycling can save natural resources and decrease carbon emissions. Not only will you get an overview of how waste is handled in the northwest Michigan area, you will also build your confidence of what item goes in which bin with a hands-on waste sorting activity.
