Trash from homes, schools, and businesses is called municipal (myoo-NIS-uh-puhl) solid waste. Here are some examples of things that make up municipal waste. FOODZ!?!

来自家庭、学校和企业的垃圾被称为城市固体废物。 这里有一些组成城市垃圾的例子。 FOODZ ! ? !

A city's sanitation (san-i-TAY-shun) department or a local garbage company is responsible for collecting, recycling, and discarding these materials. In the United States, people throw away over 250 million tons of trash each year—more than any other country. Most of that trash ends up in the country's 2,000 or so landfills.

城市的环卫部门或当地的垃圾公司负责收集、回收和丢弃这些材料。 在美国，人们每年扔掉的垃圾超过2.5亿吨——比其他任何国家都多。 大部分垃圾最终都被送到了全国2000个左右的垃圾填埋场。
