by Paul Showers
Follow that garbage truck -- to the landfill to see how trash keeps piling up, to the incinerator to see how trash can be turned into energy, and to the recycling center to see how a soda bottle can be turned into a flowerpot. Filled with graphs, charts, and diagrams, Where Does the Garbage Go? explains how we deal with the problem of too much trash and provides ideas for easy ways to be a part of the solution. Part of the Let's-Read-and-Find-Out Science series by HarperTrophy.

by Laura C. Martin
With a little imagination, just about anything we think of as trash can be transformed into a treasured art project. In this book, Laura C. Martin uses as her art supplies the paper, plastic, metal, and cloth we usually consign to the recycling bin or the garbage can. Along the way, Martin offers sidebars on the history of rubbish and profiles of artists whose medium is junk. She also passes along important lessons about being a good steward of the Earth.
by Nancy Elizabeth Wallace
In this book by author/illustrator Nancy Elizabeth Wallace, Minna, a young rabbit, is taking part in a contest at school in which the students are asked to make posters, and the best ones will be chosen for the Community Recycling Calendar. As the week progresses, she notes the many ways that her family recycles on a daily basis, from composting to sharing used books. Using found materials to create the lovely art, Wallace practices what she preaches and invites readers to search for the recycled materials. (School Library Journal)
