Breakfast and millennium kids program - waste station

First of all, we went to Mc Donald's to have our breakfast. After eating we did not throw away our covers, we kept them in the trash bag. We carried the bag along with us to the waste station.

We learnt about the importance of recycling including do s and don'ts too. I could not believe that Perth produces so much waste in a day, but I appreciate their willingness and effort to recycle waste. Only 87%of the waste in the recycle bin can be recycled. The other 13% of the waste is known as the General waste and it is misplaced by people in the recycle bin.

When waste decomposes, it produces smell. The smell is prevented from spreading outside by a concrete wall. The concrete wall carries 'twigs' which prevents the smell from spreading. The waste is then transported to the 'digester'.
