Here's a racy review of rubbish and recycling through the ages, from the times when pigs were let loose in the street to clean up garbage to today's high-tech methods for re-using glass and plastic. Dig up the dirt on muckrakers and mudlarks. Dive into drains and delve into dumps to find out the lore and law of rubbish. Unearth the facts about spies who fossicked in trash cans looking for evidence of dirty deeds, and inventors hoping to patent the perfect dunny. Once you've read this book, the 3Rs will never be the same again.
