Resource Title:Recycling
Description:The current landfill in White County receives 40 tons of waste per day. Over 35% of this material could be recycled. The tipping fee at the landfill is $25 per ton. When the landfill closes in December 1996, all the garbage will have to go to a transfer station, where the fee will increase to $50 per ton. The purpose of this class is to teach students the economic and ecological importance of recycling. The objectives of this lesson are (1) to help students identify garbage that can be recycled, (2) to acquaint students with the cost of handling garbage, (3) to illustrate the relationship between recycling and conservation of natural resources, and (4) to teach students how to recycle.
