TRASH!

Part 1: Where does MA trash go?

The trash from MA is taken to the Redwood Landfill, and recycling is taken to the Marin Sanitary Center. The Redwood Landfill offers a variety of services like construction and demolition debris recycling, yard waste recycling, and municipal solid waste disposal. The landfill is permitted to accept 2,130 tons material every day. At the Redwood landfill, which is a 420 acre property off of the Redwood highway, the trash is separated from anything that can be composted or recycled.  The waste is then compacted by heavy equipment throughout the say that forms a tightly packed layer of waste. This layer compacts the waste and makes room for more of it. At the end of the day, soil is layered over the waste to keep it in place, deter animals, repel rainwater, and minimize odor.

Part two:

I am signing up for the pamphlet role because I think that I am good at representing information in a visual format and creating something that is both informative and well designed. My goals are to be succinct with the information on the pamphlet and to create something that makes people want to read about trash! I can push myself to do my best work by starting any illustrations I want to do early and by making sure that I collect the right information to put on the pamphlet. I will be a good teammate by checking in with all of the group members and doing my part in the movie as well as the storyboard. I am a little nervous about making sure that the information in the pamphlet matches the information in the movie and the outline. I think that I will need some help from my group synthesizing and creating a good set of facts and information.
