Davis Street Transfer Center

On April 14, the CMMA juniors took a field trip to the Davis Street Transfer Center. The Davis Street Transfer Center is a facility that provides waste management. This facility serves 20 Bay Area cities as a way to achieve their goal. They want to divert 75% of the communities trash away from landfills and into recyclable substances. They don't just recycle the "regular" things either, they recycle television sets, radios, bottles, cans, and wood pieces.

I have learned that trash isn't just trash, it actually g0es a l0ng way. Trash can be used f0r vari0us am0unt of things, I think it's amazing. Recycling is very imp0rtant, if y0u d0n't recycle, then things w0nt be made. You actaully save a l0t when you recycle, which i n0w kn0w is its purp0se.

The trash that's dumped at the Davis Street Transfer Center is taken to the Altamont landfill in Livermore, CA. A landfill is when trash is buried underground to reduce its smell and prevent waste from mixing with groundwater. The Transfer Center helps recycle items so that it is p0ssible f0r us t0 reuse it, and the Altamont landfill helps us by making our world a cleaner place.
