The word rubbish could lose its meaning becauseeverything that goes into the dumps would be

51、 made into something useful. Even the mostdangerous and unpleasant wastes would provide energy if nothing else.

52、erials could be provided if a plant for recycling waste were built just outside the city. Thisplant would recycle not only metal such as steel, lead and copper, but also paper and rubber aswell.
