10 Let's Recycle

The poem tells us about trash–how it gets collected, what it
causes, and how we get rid of it.
Trash! Trash! It’s all over the floor!
There are paper sheets, foil wraps and
packets galore,
Juice cartons, soiled tissues, fruit seeds
and peels,
Bottles and stale food, and coupons
with deals.
Where does all that trash go?
Have you ever thought that before?
It piles up in open dumps to rot and stink
some more.
Since this attracts germs, flies and all
kinds of strays,
It harms all of us in so many ways.
Some throw the trash in a landfill,
Where it piles up to form a hill.
The trash is covered with soil and clay
To make parks where we can play.
foil wraps — thin metal sheets used to wrap food; galore — in large quantities;
soiled — dirty; dumps — places where trash is thrown; strays — animals that roam
from place to place; landfill — a large area where trash is collected and buried
