Trash Inc: The Secret Life of Garbage


Trash Inc: The Secret Life of Garbage is a one-hour television documentary film that aired on CNBC on September 29, 2010 about trash/garbage, what happens to it when it's "thrown away", and its impact on the world. The film is hosted by CNBC Squawk Box co-anchor Carl Quintanilla as he reports from various landfills, business, and other locations in the United States and China.
The idea for Trash, Inc came during the Great Recession and the relative stability of publicly traded waste management companies.
