Unusual museums
Want to walk through a giant compost pile? Stand beneath an enormous dinosaur made out of trash? View mounds of recyclables being dumped, sorted and sent off to be used somewhere else? For some visitors, the most interesting (and disgusting) part of the Garbage Museum experience is heading up high to the enclosed skywalk, which allows you multiple views of the recycling plant. This is a fully functional and working recycling plant, and visitors can watch the trucks back in and dump load after load of recyclables into the warehouse directly beneath their feet. Follow the trash through the recycling process, which utilizes tremendous machines to sort and pack the recyclables for shipment to be remade into something new. The Garbage Museum offers scouting programs, class tours and environmental educational kits for teachers and group leaders to borrow. The museum sponsors several special events each year, including their popular Family Day and contests such as Build a Trash Sculpture. The Garbage Museum is free and open to the public.
