Garbage (1x8)

Air date: Oct 26, 1997

Jay and Elisha plug their noses and take a trip into the smelly world of garbage! Elisha visits a recycling center in California and sorts paper, bottles and cans, and bales them for shipping. She then finds herself knee-deep in mud, feeding pigs while Jay is at Fresh Kills Landfill, waist-deep in garbage. Elisha learns how to strip a car and Jay meets a garbage archaeologist.
