Boneyard Season 1 Episode 10 Garbage

The average American throws out more than four pounds of trash a day, nearly 300 million tons annually. An army of technologically advanced machines processes garbage, from the local collection trucks to the landfill compactors. In facilities called "Murfs," millions of tons of resources are given a second life. The water bottles you tossed in your recycling bin might become your new blanket. Electricity may be generated from the garbage you set out at your curb. Discover their unusual after-life as new products are created from garbage.
