"On average, each man, woman and child in America generates or makes about 4.5 pounds of trash every day. That comes out to more than 1,500 pounds per person, per year! Some of the solid waste is reused or recycled, but as we learned in the Education Department, most of it is buried in landfills.
The United States Environmental Protection Agency has found that the kinds of things Americans throw away can be placed into main classes or categories. "
"When your parents ask you to take out the garbage, do you wonder where it goes after it's picked up on trash day? In some communities, it's taken to a waste-to-energy facility, which burns the materials and produces electricity. This carefully supervised method of dealing with solid waste uses air pollution controls to safeguard human health and the environment."
