This january we went to downtown milwaukee to see wahat real junk was being dumped into our rivers and lakes. to tell us more about what we can do to help we went down to the mrf and the keeping greater milwaukee beutiful. we first went down to the mrf to see how much trash people throw away daily here in milwaukee and they told us jusut think if all that was all in our three rivers and the great lake which they all evenyually lead into lake michigan. so we took a trip to were all the lakes connect and flow right into our great lake lake michigan.

Pictured to the right you'll see the inside of the MRF. All of the paper goes up the ramp and gets smooshed into giant cubes that are sold to companies to be reused.

This is a picture of what we throw into our rivers and lakes " Those terrible people."
