There is something missing in this story… Where is the part where they get from 1500 plants and 2 tons of waste to 10,000 plants and 5 tons of waste?

Either way it is too much trash, but there is more to this story…

One mans trash is another mans treasures.
I have incredible self restraint. I never toss stuff away until a week before I need it.
Why separate glass, cans, paper, plastics today when I can do it tomorrow at the center.
A one ton pickup can make 5 trips to the dump, or a one ton & a rented trailer can make one trip, saving gas, carbon & the planet.
