Guest for this episode is Tammy Turner from the WasteTrac Education Team
A
Experience
Waterloo:
this
is
Tim
Harwood,
each
winter
I
travel
with
the
black
clocks
to
cities
all
over
the
Midwest,
but
there's
nothing
that
compares
to
coming
home.
Let
me
invite
you
to
experience
Waterloo's,
vibrant,
downtown
district,
with
award-winning
museums
and
locally
owned
restaurants
and
enjoy
exciting
events
all
year.
Long
create
your
experience
with
places
to
stay
foods
to
savor
and
things
to
see
at
experience,
waterloo,
dot-com,
I,.
C
Well,
basically,
I
work
for
Black,
Hawk
County
and
it's
the
waste
track,
education
team
and
it's
a
partnership
between
Black
Hawk,
County,
Conservation
and
Black
Hawk
County,
Solid,
Waste,
Management
Commission.
So
there's
two
of
us
that
do
education
for
the
most
part.
What
I
do
is
based
on
making
sure
like
our
garbage,
is
getting
smaller
and
less
toxic.
Okay.
B
C
C
B
B
Is
how
you
ended
up,
making
your
way
here
sure
so
we're
here
to
kind
of
celebrate,
Earth
Day
a
little
early,
but
I
wanted
to
kind
of
bring
you
on
so
that
we
could
talk
about,
as
you
touched
on,
like
waste
management
and
recycling
within
our
own,
like
small
ecosystem,
I
kind
of
want
to
start
by
talking
about
recycling
and
for
me
a
lot
of
times,
it
just
seems
very
overwhelming.
It
seems
like
a
lot,
but
else
it
seems
really
important.
B
C
C
Well,
that
might
have
been
good
intentions,
but
what
it
was
is
that
it
was
contaminating
our
plastics
and
one
of
the
plastics
we're
going
over
to
China
and
then
they
sort
of
had
some
regulations
themselves,
and
so
they
kind
of
basically
shut
the
door
on
a
lot
of
like
American
recyclables,
because
our
stuff
was
too
messy.
So
the
message
really
needs
to
go
from
recycling
entities,
or
is
you
know,
cities
and
counties
to
say
if
you're
going
to
recycle,
you
need
to
make
sure
that
you're
doing
it
correctly.
C
So
if
your
city
says
we're
only
taking
like
these
materials
that
you're
following
that
to
the
tea
and
a
lot
of
times,
they
don't
understand
to
of
like
sometimes
when
we
say
like.
Oh,
when
you
have
a
plastic
bag.
Yes,
that
is
recyclable,
but
not
in
your
cart
and
the
reason
is
when
it
goes
in
the
cart.
It's
all
commingled
with
all
the
other
stuff
goes
in
your
cart,
then.
C
Eventually,
it
goes
in
a
recycling
truck
goes
to
a
facility
and
they
put
it
on
conveyer
belts
and
you
think
about,
like
plastic
bag,
how
that's
gonna,
get
tangled
up
and
all
the
machinery,
so
sometimes
there's
different
reasons.
So
it's
not
like
we
don't
want
people
to
recycle
their
plastic
bags.
It's
just
that
when
you
put
it
in
your
curbside
cart.
Eventually,
it's
gonna.
Maybe
you
know,
cause
a
lot
of
damage
or
when
they
say
we
don't
want
glass
in
your
curbside
cart.
It's
because
workers
are
still
we
might
who
might
think
like.
C
Oh,
it's
all
automated
now
and
machines
are
doing
everything.
Well,
no,
there's
still
a
lot
of
people
who
are
handling
it
and
we
for
their
sake,
do
you
want
to
make
sure
that
people
aren't
putting
the
glass
there?
No,
the
city
has
for
recycling
roll
off
bins,
so
you
may
have
seen
like
the
big
bins
that
are
outside
that
crossroads
mall
over
by
you
know,
fire
station
one
or
there's
a
couple
other
locations,
there's
a
special
receptacle,
that's
for
the
clear
glass
and
that's
where
the
glass
can
go.
So
you
still
can
recycle
the
glass.
C
But
that's
where
people
need
to
know
like
the
ins
and
outs
of
like
how
recycling
works
in
their
city
and
just
like.
If
you
just
say
that
you
move
to
a
different
County,
their
recycling
could
be
completely
different.
So
a
lot
of
times.
It
just
depends
on
the
end
markets
that
those
cities
have
so
I
know
even
between
Waterloo
and
Cedar
Falls.
C
How
they
do
glass
is
different
because
Cedar
Falls
is
working
with
a
different
company
and
the
company
is
making
brown
beer
bottles,
so
they
take
both
clear
and
colored
glass
because,
ultimately,
it's
not
gonna
be
made
into
a
window.
It's
gonna
be
made
into
a
beer
bottle,
so
they
can
mix
the
brown
and
the
the
blue
when
the
green
and
the
clear
glass
all
together,
whereas
Waterloo
there,
if
they're
working
with
a
company
that
then
is
going
to
be
making
clear
glass,
they
want
just
clear
bottles.
C
C
Or
if
you
go
to,
you
know
different
if
you're
not
in
the
Midwest
and
you
go
to
the
coast
like
they
may
only
accept,
maybe
you
plastic
one
and
two
and
then
when
I
say
that,
like
I,
don't
know
if
people
are
familiar
with
the
recycling
symbol,
so
it's
just
like
the
little
triangle
that
has
the
three
arrows
that
look
like
they're
chasing
each
other.
So
on
the
bottom
of
like
bottled
water,
there's
gonna
be
a
number
one,
whereas
a
milk
jug
is
gonna,
have
a
number
two
on
the
bottom.
C
So
that's
where
we're
cycling,
like
people
see
I
wish
it
could
be
recycled.
I'm
just
gonna
put
it
in
there
and
if
they
don't
want
it,
they
can
take
it
out
like
no.
No
sorry,
we
need
to
do
more
of
the
work
and
make
sure
that
I
know
exactly
what
my
city
is
steps.
I
only
put
those
materials
in
there
and
that's
gonna,
be
better
for
recycling
in
the
long
run,
yeah.
C
And
I
think
that's
where
people
like
to
have
to
realize
like.
Oh,
there
are
the
ones
that
are
purchasing
those
things,
whether
you
know
they're
packaged
in
different
materials
and
if
it's
not
packaged
in
a
good
material,
that's
recyclable,
they
maybe
would
say
maybe
I
don't
want
to
purchase
that
next
time
or
I'm
gonna
look
for
a
more
alternatives
where
I'm
gonna
maybe
go
in
to
a
grocery
or
a
retail
store
where
they're
gonna.
B
And
it
can
be
really
like
overwhelming,
especially
like
I've
moved
here
from
North
Carolina,
a
very
different
place
to
an
extent,
but
they
it's
like
a
completely
different
world
and
figuring
out.
All
those
rules
is
is
hard.
Is
there
like
a
website
that
lists
all
the
or
a
place
that
lists
all
the
rules
for
different
cities
like
that,
you
can
usually
find
weirder
where
there's
usually
yeah.
C
Well,
I
know
on
our
County
website,
so
it's
waste
track,
so
TR
AC
org.
We
have
a
whole
page
that
just
says
City
links
and
so,
like,
let's
say
like
if
you
live
in
Waterloo
or
you
live
into
your
fault,
you
live
in
Hudson
or
whatever
you
would
click
on
that,
and
that
goes
directly
to
the
city's
page.
So
it's
up
to
each
city
then
to
like
update,
maintain
their
website.
So
it
has
accurate
information.
So
I
know
for
Waterloo.
People
would
look
for
like
sanitation
within
Public
Works
and
then
they
would
look
for.
C
B
C
Each
city
should
have
like
a
list
because
it's
up
to
them
it's
up
to
each
like
City,
Council,
public
works
departments
to
work
together
so
like
for
me
as
a
county
entity.
We
don't
dictate
or
the
landfill
doesn't
dictate
what
each
city
accepts
it's
up
to
each
city
to
kind
of
customize
their
program
for
whatever
they
want
to
accept.
Okay,.
B
B
A
million
so
then
I
just
kind
of
went
to
you
know.
We've
talked
about
having
the
importance
of
it
and
what
are
you
know?
I
guess
like
a
few
key
things,
you
know,
people
who
can
start
doing
I
know
that
we,
you
have
pickup,
that
you
can
do
and
you
can
throw
your
basic
stuff
in
the
recycling
bin,
but
I
guess
well,
I,
guess,
what's
the
next
step,
I
think
this
may
be.
Why.
C
C
If
you're
using
the
roll-off
boxes,
it
does
help
to
smash
it
down,
because
that
more
material
can
go
in
those
blue
boxes
before
then,
a
truck
has
to
come,
and
so
there's
a
lot
of
transportation
costs
involved
with
recycling,
so
people
can
smash
down
their
boxes
and
then
even
smash
their
cans,
whatever
curbside,
maybe
it's
not
as
vital.
But
if
you
want
like,
if
your
family
creates
a
lot
of
recyclables,
you
might
want
to
smash
your
milk
jugs
and
so
then
like,
if
it's
only
every
two
weeks,
you
might
say
like.
C
C
in
the
morning,
so
to
make
sure
that
people,
you
know,
get
it
out
on
time,
because
they're
not
gonna
make
a
special
trip
just
for
one
person
or
this
other
person
that
they
didn't
get
up
early
enough
to
get
their
their
cart
out
and
I
know
as
far
as
the
carts
go.
They
want
to
make
sure
that
the
cart
is
not
next
to
other
things
and
it's
not
really
close
to
a
car
or
a
sign
or
whatever.
So
there's
a
certain
way
that
you
want
to
place
your
cart.
C
You
want
to
make
sure
that
there's
there's
usually
arrows
on
the
cart.
You
want
to
make
sure
that
it's
facing
the
street,
so
they
can
just
kind
of
come
with
that
robotic
arm
and
they
can
pick
it
right
up.
So
you
don't
want
it
sideways
or
backwards
yeah.
So
that
helps
them.
You
know,
do
it
a
little
more
speedy
if
it's
set
up
the
right
way.
B
So
I
guess
what
I'm
wondering
now
is
you
know
we
we
have
these
products
that
are
recycled
or
made
from
recycled
products.
So
where
does
like
how
to
do
we
get
our
stuff?
I
know
you
were
talking
about.
Cedar
fall
cells,
so
one
company
waterless
another
company
kind
of
how
does
that
gap
get
bridge
because
I
think
that
that's
you
know
we
recycle
sure.
But
if
we
don't
do
anything
with
it,
then
it's
still.
You
know
just
sitting
there
sure.
C
Yep
so
basically
yeah,
once
you
recycle
stuff,
and
it's
good
material,
they're
going
to
bail
it
and
a
lot
of
times
like
then
they'll,
get
it
to
a
mill
or
they'll,
get
it
to
where
they're,
making
aluminum
or
steel
again
or
they'll,
get
it
to
a
plastics
recycling
place
and
then
they'll
turn
it
into
a
new
product.
So
when
I
visit
schools,
let
me
talk
to
kids
about
this.
Let
me
talk
about
like
when
you
recycle
paper.
What
do
you
really
rest
and
that
attempts
depending
on
how
old
they
are?
C
They
don't
even
know
that
paper
comes
from
trees,
so
we'd
start
with
some
of
those
basics,
but
as
you
get
older,
like
a
lot
of
people,
don't
know
like
okay,
where
does
aluminum
come
from
where
it
is?
You
know
like
the
steel
for
my
soup
can
come
from
sand.
Then
we
talked
to
kids.
We
talked
about
bauxite
or
is
what
they
turned
into
aluminum
and
iron
ores,
what
they
turn
into
the
steel,
so
just
some
of
those
basics
to
say
like
okay.
C
Now,
if
I
can
take
an
old
can
and
turn
it
into
a
new
can
or
take
an
old
can
mix
it
with
a
whole
bunch
of
other
ones,
and
and
I
have
recycled
steel
content
in
a
new
car
or
something
that's
a
lot
less
or
that
I
had
to
go
into
the
ground
and
mine
for
there's
gonna
be
a
lot
less
pollution
mining
waste.
There's
going
to
be
a
lot
less
energy
that
had
to
be
produced.
So
there's
a
lot
of
water
conservation.
There's
a
lot
of
energy
conservation,
hauling.
You
know
transportation,
costs
and
stuff.
C
So
if
you
can
just
kind
of
just
kind
of
keep
our
recyclables,
you
know
within
the
even
the
Midwest
or
whatever.
So
it's
just
a
better
use
and
there's
more
conservation
of
resources,
so
I
think
it
sometimes
people
say
like
what
does
it
matter
if
I
just
put
it
in
the
recycling
bin
versus
put
it
in
the
landfill?
Well
one
it
goes
the
landfill
like
there's,
no
sorting
it
just
goes
into
the
cell.
C
Basically,
the
hole
in
the
ground
never
to
be
used
again,
so
I
mean
it's
a
hundred
one
hundred
and
seventy
seven
thousand
tons
of
material
that
goes
with
our
landfill
every
year
and
a
lot
of
times.
People
too
don't
realize
that
our
landfill
is
no
longer
just
the
Black
Hawk
County
landfill.
We
are
getting
materials
from
Braemar,
County
we're
getting
materials
from
Fayette,
County
and
portions
of
two
other
counties,
so
it's
basically
become
a
regional
landfill.
C
So
it's
really
important
for
people
to
like
if
it
is
valuable,
which
I
feel
cardboard
is
valuable
papers,
valuable
plastics,
the
metals
if
it's
valuable,
it
does
not
really
belong
in
the
garbage
like.
Why
are
we
spending
good
money
to
bury
this
stuff
when
we
could
put
it
in
the
recycling
bin
and
then
I
did
bring
a
few
props.
Today,
like
we
have
a
little
toy,
that's
made
out
of
milk
jugs
and
we've
got
a
teddy
bear.
That's
made
out
of
bottled
water,
so
it's
made
out
of
plastic
number
one.
C
You
can
find
all
kinds
of
paper
products,
so
you
can
look
for
a
hundred
percent
recycled
content
paper
towels
or
you
can
look
for
toilet
paper
that
has
a
certain
content.
I
know
our
County
Parks,
that's
what
we
put
in
our
campgrounds
is
a
high
recycled
content,
toilet
paper,
maybe
a
little
bit
rough,
but
it's
good
for
the
environment
and
then
there's
a
whole
bunch
of
other
just
materials
too
that
are
out
there.
So
there's
different
like
class
things.
C
I
know:
we've
had
different
Sun
catchers
that
we've,
you
know
found
that
were
made
out
of
recycled
glass
metal
of
times.
This
goes
back
into,
like
you
know,
more
metal,
so
there's
products
that
have
a
recycled
metal
content
and
them,
but
yeah
there's
a
lot
of
products
that
you
can
look
out
there.
So
if
you
just
even
we're
doing
a
google
search-
and
you
just
said-
I
want
to
look
for
recycled
content
products,
there's
gonna
be
tons
that
come
up,
so
maybe
you
might
not
find
them
at
your
like
local
retail
store
but
I.
C
Imagine
online.
You
could
find
a
lot
of
different
cool
products.
I
know
like
the
the
green
toys
company,
like
there's
a
couple
of
different
stores
around
here
that
have
carried
I,
know
like
University
of
looking
to
apply,
and
in
the
years
past
you
said
Curie
that
so,
but
also
to
I.
Think
people
need
to
hear
it
from
us
to
say
like
hey,
why
don't
you
carry
more
recycle
content,
products
or
I'm?
C
Looking
for
a
more
eco-friendly,
you
know
books
or
toys
or
whatever
it
is,
or
I
want
to
put
a
new
deck
on
my
house
instead
of
just
having
it
be
like
virgin
plastic.
Maybe
you
could
say
like
I
want
to
look
for
the
decking
or
the
picnic
table.
That's
made
out
of
old
milk,
jugs,
so
I
know
we
found
different
bird
feeders
that
I
like
that
as
well.
So
sometimes
it's
just
searching
out
those
and
they're
really
easy
to
find.
This
is
and
then
we're
shipping.
Now
you
can
just
yeah,
you
haven't
delivered
your
house.
B
C
B
The
other
thing
that
I
hear
a
lot
about
in
regards
to
recycling
is
about
like
composting
and
food
waste
and
that
sort
of
thing,
so
that's
kind
of
the
other
thing.
I
really
wanted
to
talk
about,
because
I
think
that
it's
another
big
thing
that
falls
under
recycling
and
so
kind
of
I
want
to
talk
about
food
waste,
especially
here
yeah
yeah.
So
what
kind
of
I
guess
what
that
looks
like
and
how
people
can
write
food
right.
C
Yeah-
and
it
actually
is
a
pretty
big
issue
and
our
celebrating
agencies-
it's
looking
to
do
more
backyard
composting
classes
and
actually
like
one
of
our
most
popular
programs
that
we
offer
to
the
schools
through
our
outreach
program
is
the
vermicomposting.
So
it's
composting
with
little
red
worms,
so
I'd
say
that's,
probably
one
of
our
more
popular
ones
and
then
I
play
a
year
and
a
half
out
from
doing
a
thousand
programs
about
the
composting
worms.
So
it's
it's
really
popular.
C
We
even
have
about
12
schools
where
they
actually
have
the
little
worm,
bins
in
their
classrooms
and
then
I
take
them
back
for
the
summer
and
babysit
them,
and
then
they
go
back
to
school.
You
know
in
September
for
another
group
of
kids,
so
that's
kind
of
a
fun
way
just
to
kind
of
address
how
much
food
weighs
so
and
a
lot
of
people
don't
even
know
that
the
Iowa
DNR
does
research
on
garbage,
so
they
actually
it's
every
I,
don't
know
like
six
to
eight
years.
The
last
time
they
did.
C
Some
research
was
in
2017
and
they
have
this
study.
So
anybody
can
look
it
up.
It's
called
the
Iowa
waste
characterization
study,
so
basically
they
hired
a
company
and
then
so
it's
like
this
engineering
firm
and
they
go
to
different
landfills
and
also
different
transfer
stations
across
the
state
and
they
kind
of
get
an
Iowa
average
of
like
what's
in
our
garbage,
and
they
found
out
that
paper
cardboard
can
like
that.
Fiber
category
was
still
25.5%.
C
Number
two
was
food
waste
at
20%,
so
even
if
people
just
like
after
they
hear
this
podcast
and
they're
like
I,
want
to
do
something.
You
know
for
our
community
and
kind
of
go
green,
even
if
they
just
recycle
their
paper
in
the
cardboard
and
start
a
compost
bin.
They
could
knock
out
over
45
percent
of
what
we're
sending
to
our
local
landfills.
So
we
could
say,
like
oh
these
garbage
trucks
like
we're,
they're,
gonna,
they're,
not
gonna,
be
so
full
anymore.
C
If
we
can
at
least
knock
those,
and
then
plastic
of
course
was
like
number
three
like
18%,
but
as
far
as
food
waste
goes
I
know,
there's
different
programs
across
the
state.
I
know
you
and
I
is
really
big
in
kind
of
tackling
food
waste.
So
they
have
a
lot
of
resources
on
their
website
as
well,
but
like
the
food
waste,
yeah
is
yeah,
it's
kind
of
a
crazy
category,
but
there's
so
much
that
we
can
do
so.
I
know
they're
working
with
trying
to
figure
out
like
okay.
C
If
it's
still
usable
food,
we
need
to
get
food
to
people
in
need.
So
that's
like
the
first
thing
is
like
you
know,
we
want
to
make
sure
that
if
it's
good
food,
it's
used
by
humans
after
that,
then
it's
like
some
states
allow
you
to
use
it
for,
like
livestock.
I
was
a
little
more
strict
about
that.
But
then
also
it
doesn't
make
sense
to
take
all
this
food
waste
and
just
throw
it
into
a
landfill.
C
It'd,
be
nice
if
there
was
more
composting
that
went
on
so
there's
not
a
whole
lot
of
companies
around
here
that
do
large-scale
composting.
So
unfortunately,
like
people
want
to
compost,
it
kind
of
need
to
do
it,
like
you
know,
with
pet
worm
indoors
if
they
just
have
like
a
small
house
or
an
apartment
or
if
they
have
a
yard
and
they
can
start
a
backyard
compost
bin.
C
That's
a
great
way
to
kind
of
tackle
that
food
waste
issue,
because
I
think
about
like
I,
first
started
with
just
recycling
and
then
when
I
forgot,
my
first
house,
that's
when
I
started
doing
back
here
composting-
and
that
was
my
like
probably
yeah
21
years
ago
and
I
got
my
first
compost
bin.
My
mom
had
gone
to
a
Master,
Gardener
class
and
she
came
home
and
she
had
like
this
kind
of
plastic
and
a
Darth
Vader
looking
plastic
bin,
and
so
that's
what
I've
used
for
composting
like
ever
since
then.
C
So
it's
lasted
me
all
these
years.
So
I
know
a
lot
of
people
like
they
might
have
more
leaves
or
more
content,
so
they
might
want
to
like
build
like
a
three
bin
one
out
of
like
the
old
pallets,
so
I
mean
there's
all
kinds
of
different
styles
of
compost,
bins
out
there
and
I
know
like
our
friends
at
you
and
I
with
the
green,
how
AmeriCorps
group
they're
actually
going
to
be
doing
a
sale
of
compost
bin.
C
So
if
people
who
aren't
like
I,
don't
know
if
I
really
want
to,
you
know,
go
and
build
my
own
I'll
get
this.
You
know
fifty
sixty
dollar
one
and
then
try
it
out
and
stuff.
So
I
know
that's
kind
of
a
neat
thing
that
we're
kind
of
looking
forward
to,
but
but
just
think
about,
I
like
that
watermelon
rinds
and
the
banana
peels
and
the
lettuce
that
goes
bad
in
the
back
of
the
fridge.
C
So
we
do
workshops
occasionally
that
kind
of
teach
people
about,
like
the
greens
and
the
Browns
and
kind
of
balancing
the
the
carbon
and
the
nitrogen
and
then
getting
like
a
good
recipe
for
your
compost
bin,
but
I
always
tell
people,
even
if
you,
even
if
you
just
do
like
the
simplest
kind
of
stuff
you
just
like
if
it's
organic
and
just
plop
it
in
that
pile
and
if
you
remember
to
stir
it
once
a
week.
That's
awesome!
But
if
you
don't,
it's
still
awesome
because
it's
not
going
into
the
landfill
yeah.
B
C
Not
going
in
those
garbage
trucks
and
but
for
me,
like
I,
make
a
like
a
really
beautiful
composter
every
spring,
so
before
I
plant,
my
garden,
I
scoop
it
out
and
I've
got
this
little
screen
that
my
dad
rigged
up
for
me
and
so
then,
like
it
all,
goes
through
the
screen
and
it's
beautiful
and
it
ends
up
in
the
bottom
of
the
wheelbarrow
and
then
I
just
you
I
usually
have
enough
to
share.
You
know
with
neighbors
or
friends.
C
So
for
me,
it's
kind
of
nice
because
it's
like
okay
I
had
those
fruits
and
vegetables
and
then
I
put
the
peels
in
the
compost
and
then
I.
Oh
I
make
compost
and
then
it
goes
in
the
garden
and
then
I
raise
more
vegetable.
So
it's
this
very
small
little
circle
and
then
there's
not
much
footprint
to
that
versus.
You
know.
Yeah.
C
B
C
B
Know
doing
anything
so
breaking
it
down
to
the
city
level
and
just
seeing
like
you
know,
those
numbers
and
those
seem
like
much
more
feasible
numbers
to
really
do
something
about.
So
it's
really
interesting
to
hear
that,
like,
even
if
you
just
picked
either
recycling
or
composting
to
start
with,
you
know,
I
think
that
that
that's
20%
of
the
city's
waste
and
you're
you
know
we
aren't
in
a
huge
city.
B
That
kind
of
really
sticks
with
me
and
I,
like
the
bringing
it
back
to
a
local
level
yeah
it's
interesting
to
see
like
all
the
different
facets
of
recycling,
because
I
know,
at
least
from
my
perspective.
You
say:
oh
yeah
recycling
covers
everything,
but
when
you
really
kind
of
start
digging
deep,
there's
a
lot
there
and
a
lot
for
like
this
city
to
manage
and.
C
A
lot
of
times,
I
say
to
like
we
need
to
look
at
reducing
your
garbage
and
then
reusing
and
then
recycling,
and
then,
when
most
people,
unlike
the
waste
industry,
that
there's
a
hierarchy
and
actually
they
want
you
to
really
concentrate
on
reducing
and
reusing
and
then
Recycling's
less,
but
as
an
average
person,
maybe
like
recycling
might
be
manageable.
Like
me,
and
my
kids
can
do
that
and
we
can
kind
of
help
out.
C
But
then
they
also
say
too
late
to
say
maybe
reducing
and
reusing
or
even
more
important
to
say,
like
you
need
to
really
think
about
all
the
purchases
that
we
make
all
the
things
we're
bringing
our
home
or
businesses
and
then
looking
for.
If
it's
still,
if
there's
still
good
products,
then
we
need
to
get
them
to
somebody
who
can
use
them.
So.
B
C
Why,
when
I
talk
to
like
little
kids,
we
talk
about
garage
sales
and
finding
like
a
little
cousin
that
can
use
like
your
clothes,
your
shoes,
your
toys,
your
books
or
even
like
for
different
businesses
to
like
take
advantage
and
look
at
some
of
their
programs
that
different.
You
know,
thrift
shops
have
and
then
also
like
restore.
C
So
if
you
have
like
your
office
is
getting
rid
of
like
all
this
perfectly
good
furniture
but
you're,
just
updating
everything,
maybe
give
them
a
call
and
say
like
hey,
you
know,
like
we've
got
all
this
furniture,
cubicles
cheers
you
know
whatever
it
is,
and
then
maybe
it's
trying
to
find
somebody
who
maybe
could
like
that
would
fit
their
budget
like
they
could
go
to.
You
know,
restore
get
a
chair
for
$5
and
we're
keeping
it
out
of
the
landfill.
C
B
B
B
I
know:
I've
used
the
fake
that
use
the
Facebook
market
to
get
rid
of
large
pieces
of
furniture.
So
if
that's
something
that
you're
interested
in
doing
as
well,
I
think
that
that's
a
good
way
to
try
to
move
pieces
somewhere
else
instead
of
tossing
them,
because
I
hadn't
really
don't.
If
I've
really
thought
through,
like
everything
that.
A
B
B
A
B
C
To
share
today
well
I,
guess:
if
people
wanted
to
learn
more
about
how
they
can
make
their
you
know
garbage
smaller
or
a
less
toxic,
they
can
always,
you
know,
give
us
a
call
and
or
if
they
wanted
to
schedule
a
landfill
tour.
We
also
do
that
so
we'll
do
it
as
as
young
as
kindergarten
or
first
grade
every
year
we
have
Laporte
City
first
graders
that
come
up
to
the
landfill
and
I.
C
Have
a
group
of
teachers
they've
been
doing
it
for
10
years
in
a
row
now,
so
it's
kind
of
neat
for
them
to
see
like
oh,
that
used
to
be
a
hole
in
the
ground,
and
now
it
is
full,
and
now
we've
moved
on
to
like
to
the
next
cell
yeah,
so
yeah
so
or
if
groups
can't
come
out
to
the
landfill
and
do
a
tour,
we
can
definitely
go
to
them.
We've
got
like
all
kinds
of
cool.
You
know,
slides
and
pictures
that
show
them
like
how
they
construct.
C
You
know,
construct
a
acetylene
fill
or
little
bit
of
all
that
waste.
Characterization
study
just
say
like
what
are
we
as
Iowans,
throwing
in
our
garbage
and
then
how
could
we
do
a
better
job
of
it?
So
yeah
we're
happy
to
kind
of
visit
any
group
in
Black
Hawk
County.
So
if
they're
like
a
early-morning,
Kiwanis,
Club
or
they're
like
a
lion's
group
or
like
a
mom's
group
or
a
4-h
club
or
whoever
it
is
like
I
said
we,
we
started
at
age
four
and
we'll
go
up
to
senior
citizens
and
we've
gone
to.
C
C
Yeah
so
if
anybody's
been
to
either
live
to
9
or
the
Iowa
Irish
Fest
or
there's
a
couple
other
big
events
that
have
borrowed
our
equipment,
so
basically
it's
like
fold
up
recycling
equipment.
So
it's
easy
to
transport
and
then,
when
you
get
to
the
event,
you
can
be
like
fold
it
out.
You
put
it
bag
in
it.
There's
a
lid
on
the
top
that
says
like
what
we're
supposed
to
put
it
in
there.
So
for
us
we
kind
of
limited
it
to
the
5
cent
deposit
container.
C
So
it's
like
there's
an
event
and
they're
selling
beer
or
pop
or
whatever
anything
that
has
a
5
cent
deposit.
They
can
go
in
there
and
then
that
helps
the
event
when
they
go
to
clean
up.
They
can
see.
Oh
we're
gonna,
take
this
this
bag
right
here
right
to
the
redemption
center
and
then
there's
separate
ones
and
they're
color-coded.
C
So
they
have
like
a
blue
lid
and
it
says
like
this
would
be
for
like
bottled
water
gatorade
like
that
kind
of
stuff,
so
there
would
be
like
the
plastic
bottles
that
don't
have
a
deposit
so
yeah
we
have.
We
actually
bought
more
equipment
a
year
and
a
half
ago,
because
Irish
chess
was
getting
bigger
and
bigger.
A
C
Wanted
to
have
enough
equipment
for
them
so
yeah,
so
we
provide
the
equipment,
we
don't
charge
anything
for
it,
people
just
kind
of
like
rent
it,
and
then
we
provide
the
bags
for
them
and
then
the
only
thing
we
do
is
just
ask
for
a
small
deposit.
So
that
way
we
make
sure
like
we
get
our
equipment
back.
So
people
just
would
come
to
our
office
and
see
your
files
and
check
it
out
and
then
bring
it
back
to
us
after
they
have
their
event.
C
So
that's
we're
trying
to
make
yeah
recycling
events
a
little
bit
easier.
So
we
have
all
this
equipment.
It's
you
know
in
our
storage
unit.
We
want
it
to
be
out
in
the
community
and
be
used
because
I
don't
want
it
just
to
sit
in
my
storage
shed
I
want
it
to
be
out
in
the
community
and
have
people
use
it.
Yeah.
C
Like
a
5k
run,
yeah
we've
had
different
churches
that
do
like
a
supper
or
our
you
know.
Pancake
breakfast
yeah
we've
had
weddings,
bow
it
before.
So
there's
a
yeah
large
variety
of
different
groups
that
can
possibly,
if
you're
selling
yeah,
if
you're
selling
something
that
comes
in
a
bottle
or
a
can
you're.
