A group of University of Iowa volunteers gathered on November 15, 2007, to sift through trash collected from the previous day. Their goal? To see how much of this "trash" is really trash. Watch volunteers get their hands dirty to divert Dasani bottles, Rockstar cans, and reams of paper from the Iowa City Landfill.

University of Iowa professor Jerry Schnoor, co-founder of the Center for Global and Regional Environmental Research (CGRER), incorporated the "waste sort" project into his popular, hands-on Sustainable Systems course in the Spring 2008 semester.
