The annual Open House hosted by the Los Angeles Bureau of Sanitation teaches kids about recycling while letting them ride around in garbage trucks, lift garbage bins up & down (just like when the city picks up garbage at your house) and provides all-you-can-eat free burgers and hot dogs. Who'd ever thought that a "Garbage Truck Party" as Alex called it could be so much fun. Complete with swag -- compost, mini garbage cans, plants and other paraphernalia -- boys and girls can party all day with garbage men.
