Gifts from the garbage truck: a true story about the things we (don't) throw away - Naperville, IL, USA Sourcebooks Kids 2024

Sometimes we throw things away when we no longer want or need them. But what if they're still good? A man named Nelson Molina wondered about this and did something about it. As a sanitation worker in New York City, Nelson saved more than forty-five thousand items from his garbage truck, including toys, musical instruments, and thingamajigs. He gave them a new life and shared them with others at the Treasures in the Trash Museum.
