Omaranui Landfill

On Tuesday room 15 and GEMs met Jackie at the Omaranui landfill.
First she came out of a small room, with a box. In the box were yellow fluro vests. We all had to wear one so we could be seen.
We travelled by bus to the top of valley A. When we rushed out of the bus there was a fence and if you looked over it you could see huge piles of rubbish far below, in Valley D and lots of trucks dumping rubbish. Lots of squawking seagulls were flying around. 
Then we toddled over the wet grass and saw where electricity will be made, by burning methane gas that is created under the ground, from all the rubbish.
When we went back we saw a truck in the truck wash. This is how it works. First the truck drives down then the water splashes over it to wash away all the dirt so the dirt doesn't drop all over the roads when it leaves.
Lastly we returned  to school.
