Abstract	This guide, one component of the Resource Recovery Education Kit (see SO 007 866 for a description), contains ideas and activities for teaching about solid waste disposal in secondary level social studies classes. Among the course objectives are the following: (1) to explore the impact of our society on the problem of solid waste and the need for effective management; (2) to encourage student activities and involvement in environment conservation; (3) to examine technological developments which can reduce the problems and costs of refuse collection; and (4) to become aware of how local economic, political, and social problems are related to solid waste disposal and how local situations differ. Teaching strategies include having students conduct interviews, polls, and studies of the local community and classroom discussion. The guide consists of five major study units: (1) Solid Waste: A Growing Problem; (2) Collection and Transportation; (3) Disposal; (4) Resource Recovery; and (5) Solid Waste Management Systems. Objectives, student activities, questions for discussion and research, basic understandings to be developed, and instructional resources are provided for each unit. (Author/RM)
