Henderson Road
Transfer Station
We went to the dump on Henderson Road. It was interesting but rather smelly,
“poowee”. We went on the weigh bridge,
we were 1180kgs. There were 6 adults and
23 children. It was amazing because I
learnt that you can recycle oil. Then we
hopped on the bus and “Brrrm! Brrrrm!” off we went to the… Omarunui land-fill.
Oh! And do you know why it’ called a
land-fill because it’s filling the land with loads and loads of rubbish, it’s
just like a pie. Why don’t you guess what
kind of pie it is. I know, a rubbish
pie! On every plastic it should have a
triangle but it will have a number
inside it.

At Henderson Road on the way to the Transfer Station, when
we got to the transfer station, I learnt you don’t have to chuck everything
away, you can recycle it. You can
recycle the plastic bottles that have triangles with numbers on the
bottom. There was like this garage thing
that had lots of junk in it. There were
big containers with coloured bottles in them.
In the garage thing there were tvs, chairs, couches, toys and
barbeques. We got to see this big truck
and when it opened its back it was a very long truck. Then we hopped back on the bus and drove to
the land-fill. There was the pie it ha
pastry on the bottom then rubbish then the top pastry. We had to wear a fluro
vest. There was a very high fence but it stopped the rubbish from blowing
away. There was a hole with rubbish in
it but when the men go away to eat their food the sea gulls will fly over and
eat all the rubbish. But for dinner the
men cover the hole up. No one can enter
the land fill but if you are a rubbish man or if you have a licence, you can. There are vents to let the gas out. There is a weigh bridge. We weigh 1180 kgd with 6 adult and 23
children. Green waste gees to
compost. The rubbish goes to land fill.

Henderson Road Transfer Station
Room 3 and Room4 went to Henderson Road transfer
Station. We learnt about recycling. We all learnt that we can recycle oil. Then we went to big garage.
It had books, toys and furniture.
We went on a weigh bridge with six adults and 23 children, we weighed
1180kgs. Then we went to Omarunui
land-fill. Our bus stopped next to he
truck wash. It was rather smelly. Ms
Petherick came, my Mum came, Joanna came, Roy’s mum came and Reuben’s mum came.
At the land-fill there was a big gas burner.
We thought that it was a waste but it wasn’t. Also Ann came too. At the land-fill they made a rubbish pie! But
it looked like a big green hill. Beside it,
it had a big valley. I saw a bull dozer
that had some spikes on its wheels. It
squashes all of the rubbish.

Henderson Road Transfer Station
One day Room 3 and Room 4 went on a bus trip to Henderson
Road Transfer Station. There we learnt about rubbish and recycling rubbish. There was lots and lots of paper, cans,
cardboard, bottles and oil. Did you know
that you can recycle plastic with three arrows in a triangle with a number, it
can’t be over 8. There was a shop and it
was full of old stuff that people did not want any more like toys, tvs,
furniture, kitchen things and books.
Omarunui Land-fill
Omarunui land-fill is a place just for rubbish. If you go there, you have to put on a fluro
vest and you have to be licenced to go there because no one can go without a
special licence. There are lots of
fences with a wind tunnel top, to stop the rubbish from flying out. At the Henderson Road transfer station we got
weighed on a weigh bridge, there were 6 adults, 23 children and we weighed
1180kgs. At the Omarunui Land-fill, there is a pit full of
rubbish. There is a big digger with
spikes on the wheels to squash the rubbish.
At night they cover it with dirt.
