Food Scraps Pickup Program: Journey of a Bag

It all starts with a bag. One that gets filled with eggshells, coffee grounds, and a few slices of moldy bread—then tied up and tossed in the trash. But that’s only the beginning.

Told from the bag’s point of view, this video follows its unexpected journey through the trash facility, high-tech sorting, and transformation into something surprisingly valuable. With clever camera work, cinematic flair, and a touch of humor, it brings the behind-the-scenes process to life—giving current participants a reason to keep going, and skeptics a reason to believe.
