About this book

A history of garbage and the creation of refuse in America documents such elements as the use of urban hogs in the 1800s, the practices of "rag pickers," and the development of corporate "mega-fills," in an account that offers insight into the politics of recycling and presents an initial-stage recommendation for waste management reform.
