Measuring Garbage, One Truckload at a Time
For two weeks (September 10 – 21, 2007), garbage trucks dumped their loads near a tented work station at Solid Waste Operations where workers sorted through the sometimes putrid mix with gloves and a brave demeanor. "Out of sight, out of mind" is the general attitude toward garbage, but this crew of "garbologists" was on a mission. They separated each load into more than 20 categories, weighed the materials, determined the origin of each truck, and noted any unique characteristics of the contents. It’s not pretty, but this is how a scientific waste composition study is conducted.
