I grew up the daughter of a trash man, as my Dad liked to call himself. Actually, my dad was recycling long before it was trendy. He was a paper recycler who started recycling in the mid-sixties until he retired a few years ago. So recycling is actually something I know a little bit about.

However, when I saw this piece, I realized that I actually knew much less about recycling than I thought.

Each week I write about people helping people in the United States. Not the environment or international causes, not because they aren’t important but with 1.7 million non-profits in the U.S. you need to whittle it down a bit. So, this story is a little out of my comfort zone but the beauty, brilliance, simplicity and hope it inspires, is not.

Enjoy….

Recycling, music and hope are universal and The Landfill Philharmonic simply made my day. I hope it does the same for you.
