SEATTLE, WA (KPLU) - One of the world's largest garbage companies is airing its dirty laundry. Waste Management has provided seed money to researchers from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology to find out where the trash goes after you toss it in the bin. Eager volunteers are a big part of the picture - including KPLU's very own Bellamy Pailthorp.
