Poem about rubbish inspired by the Recycling and Rubbish book from Usborne-
Monkey journeys down the rubbish chute…..
Monkey wonders what goes on
when things go in the bin
he’s always wanted to find this out
so one day jumps right in
Once you go and throw stuff out
It goes off to a truck
where a big old man with big old hands
grabs the bag covered in muck
He puts the rubbish in the ground
and some he piles and burns
and some gets left to rot away
to feel the hungry worms
but Granny likes to keep a lot
she keeps old tubs and plastic
and then we can make new toys with them
we think this is fantastic
But we now know where rubbish goes
and why we sort in boxes
recycle, bin or use again
to keep away from foxes
so have a think next time you go
and throw away something
where will it end up once it falls
into that empty bin?
