The crows and seagulls don’t spread out the rubbish, the crows and seagulls pick out all the food scraps to eat.  Men in machines flatten down the rubbish and then put soil over the top of it!

Our excursion to Wastebusters, Transfer station and Landfill.

August 26th, 2008

We went on an excursion to Wastebusters.  It was very interesting.  Mick showed us around. We saw lots of things being packed and squashed for recycling.  It was very noisy!Then we went to the transfer station and Mick told us all about the piles of things. The green waste is used as mulch around grape vines.  Then we drove out to the Dooen landfill. We saw lots of rubbish. We saw a truck unload the rubbish and there were lots of crows and seagulls.  They squash the rubbish and try to cover it quickly, so it doesn’t blow away.  We had a great day and we all learnt a lot.
