The Landfill

By Finn

 “Come on, I need to get off the bus!” We were there, at the tip.

“I didn’t expect this,” I said to myself. The tour person was telling us that under your feet there was loads of rubbish and how it took 5 years to fill up. There were big rubbish bins everywhere I looked. Name a type of bin, recycling, nappy, you name it, they’ll have it.

Then it was time to go to the stinky part. When we got to the stinky part… when we got off the bus, straight away I felt like spewing everywhere. I rushed to have a look and ran straight back again. I saw green slimy toxic acid leaking everywhere.

I felt disgusted and ashamed of the other people who do not recycle what could be recycled.

 I ran out of the bus and Meagan held up a sign. Everyone was wearing a bright yellow jacket and Meagan the tour lady showed us how it worked. We went to look at come bins. The first one we went to look at was a diaper bin; it was silver and new and filled with nappies. I thought the smell was gross like rotten flies.

Then we went back on the bus and drove up the hill to the smelliest place of them all. I saw birds flying around. When we got up the top I saw a digger crushing rubbish and it smelt so bad. Then we walked to the side and Harry barfed ‘cos of the smell.
