Just a few years ago, this place was called Dumptown. The people living here
didn’t think much about where waste went when they threw it out. Things that
could be reused or recycled were thrown in the trash, because nobody
believed recycling made a difference. And, eventually, that became a very big
problem. The garbage heap grew and began to smell. Sometimes it caught
fire, and making it hard for everyone to breathe. Dumptowners knew they had
to fix it. They learned to reduce the amount of waste they threw away. For
example, they learned to reuse things—like washing out empty jars instead of
throwing them away. And, they learned to recycle. They set up bins around
town to collect glass, paper, and other things, then made into new products.
