Hello world!
Let's appreciate trash collectors and the special, inspiring individuals who recycle! I've been researching waste management, where it all goes and how I can help! Check out my visit to the local landfill in the next blog!
I surveyed some friends to see who is recycling in my community. I found that less than half of them actually recycle.

In June, a few of my friends and I wanted to help pick it up! We picked up some trash in only one hour. We piled four mattresses, 3 couches, several wood headboards, miscellaneous ply wood pieces, and around 6 bags of trash and had it picked up by LAS or threw it in the dumpster. Thank you Los Angeles Sanitation! See it here on LA Sanitation's facebook:

From land to sea, we have plenty of trash. My hope is to motivate and excite more people to recycle and learn for myself how to appropriately recycle!
Even despite my little survey, I can still be thankful for the recycling program in Los Angeles! According to a report on Los Angeles Sanitation website 2013, LA is ranked top recycler out of 10 of the largest U.S. cities. http://lacitysan.org/solid_resources/recycling/index.htm
