For thousands of years, people had to deal with their own garbage. It was messy, but historians and archeologists can learn a lot from what people threw away.

This game is from the April 2022 issue of Kayak: Canada’s History Magazine for Kids and has students find and sort items into organic compost, e-waste recycling, and metal/plastic/glass/paper recycling.
