This is really a well-produced video. My three and a half year old loves it but it appeals to my eight and five year olds as well. Actually, Dad and I learned quite a bit too. Great production quality - which some of these reality videos are lacking. The dvd takes you on a tour of a recycling facility, a scrap yard, and a landfill so there is footage of lots of other type of machinery and vehicles besides garbage trucks.

I was at my nephews birthday party (he turned two), and he pulled me in the house with him to watch "Where the Garbage Goes" He loves it. It shows the job from picking up to processing the recycling. I found it interesting that it took place in Londonderry NH and surrounding towns becase it is near us. His brother, who is three loves the 'Fire and Rescue" one. His mother says when it's on he is very involed in it.

My 2 and 4 year old boys are both fascinated by this movie. Come to think of it, so am I. I looked for it because my older son kept asking me "Where does the trash truck take all our trash?" I tried to tell him, but I've (thankfully) never been to a landfill. The real life action is so cool and now we know all of the nitty gritty details! The recycling component was especially interesting. (I wonder if our trash really goes to such a "state of the art" dump.) Now he's always giving his daddy a hard time..."Daddy you put this in the trash. This is recycling!"

My son has been fascinated with garbage trucks since he was 1 year old. As funny as it may sound, although he is now 5 years old, he still asks to watch this video. It is actually educational and may not be so exciting to the adult viewer, but the kids love it!

This whole series is fantastic! It is entertaining for kids and not annoying for adults. It is intelligent and interesting!
