Visiting the Recycling Centre reminded me of the book, Owls Do Cry by Janet Frame, because the beginning is about some siblings who go to the rubbish dump to find treasures. It was cool to see how much we recycle in NZ and interesting to hear that it's an independent business that collects, sorts and bails our recycling and other companies buy the sorted materials to make them into new things.
I get really annoyed when I see recyclables in peoples' rubbish bags since it's so easy to recycle so maybe more people need to know how the recycling industry works to inspire them to stop being lazy with their waste-production.
