The Landfill

The guest speaker was called by the green team in the 5th grade class and he talk about the landfill. The landfill is where the Trash goes when you throw away trash. They dig up the dirt so they can fill it up with dirt then with seeds then with plants to make even with the land. When the highway changes there are trash under because the concrete will break easily. There is two that we know so far, that is in Mira Mar and next to Balboa park.   

The landfill is in the Blue box in this picture. 
There is the landfill but it will end very bad because people are throwing their recyclables in the trash. There is one tip to tell the differences from trash and recyclables. Trash is wrinkle and recycle is hard plastic and it has to be clean before throwing it in the recycling bin.
This landfill is how it is now and it will get  even more bigger then it is in the first picture.
