Where does the garbage go?

Tuesday, Apr 21 2009 10:00 AM to Wednesday, Apr 22 2009 6:00 PM CDT

Event Description

Did you know that the average person throws away about 4 pounds of trash each day?  In Texas, it’s almost 7 pounds per day!  Many people think this garbage magically disappears when it is put on the street lawn or in the dumpster.

Featured Activities:
• Trash Disposal—Use a bar graph and pie chart to determine which material is thrown out more than others.
• Trash Talk— Learn more fun trash facts as you play Recycling Chutes and Ladders.
• Reduce, reuse, Recycle— Try your hand at being a garbage man and sort the trash according to the most appropriate means for disposal.
