Content

Every child is familiar with the big and often loud garbage trucks that stop and empty the big garbage cans once a week. Wouldn't you like to know what happens inside that truck, and what happens to the rubbish it takes away? What else does the garbage collection service do? All these questions and more are answered in this book: What kinds of garbage trucks are there? What does a garbage collector do, and what does a recycling center look like?

The environmental aspects of garbage and recycling are also addressed, because even children in preschool learn about those subjects.
