Davis Street Transfer Center

This Special Facility is specially concentrated on the best way to recycle, reuse, rot, and reduce. Just like the 4rs we are trying to establish here in Tennyson High. The Transfer Center that we visited was made out of the Dump." The whole idea was that everything can be used for many different things not just throwing away'' that is how the lady at the facility put it. . This Facility taught us how in the old time trash was trash, no recycle. The people from the past didn't even know were there trash was going. Until they made a research, that they were just dumping all there things in to the ocean. After that, 75% of the trash was recycled. This was a very good way to better the environment.
Now in our Century, we have better recycling methods and its a good way to make money, the picture with the bails of recycled cans is worth $2,000 dollars. When i went to the Davis street Transfer Center i saw huge piles of waste, never mind that MOUNTAINS of waste and when i got closer to the mountain of "waste" there were lots of things that could have been recycled.


There is a special place called the "Land Fill". This place is were all the trash we don't use goes to. Its set there to decompose in the soil. But like a lot of people have been making things that take along time to decompose, this is effecting the environment and the land fill, fills more and more. The "Land Fill" for Alameda County is located in Livermore, know as Altima.
