The Wonders of Transfer Sites: Finding Treasures in the Trash

The greater portion of people living in Fairbanks do not have a trash or recycling service, which came as a surprise to me. I came from a city where we had a large bin that all of our trash went into and the bin would get picked up by a dump truck once a week. The convenience of trash service makes one not really think too much about where their trash goes, you would just put it at the end of your driveway and within a day it was gone.
