Amazon.com Review
How much can we recycle? Can we produce less garbage? Can garbage be burned safely? What's the best place for landfills? What about hazardous wastes? Finally, these questions and many others are answered in The Garbage Primer, in clear, non-technical language. Getting a grasp on this key issue is the first step towards solving it.
From Booklist
"Primer" exactly describes this brief, inexpensive paperback, which offers a neat, clearly organized description of how we deal with--and how we should deal with--municipal solid waste. From landfill to incineration to recycling, Murphy presents the facts one needs in order to be knowledgeable about garbage, as well as a certain amount of guidance for political action. The Garbage Primer also includes a time line of disposal milestones and numerous informational charts. Angus Trimnell
