DO YOU HAVE ANY IDEA WHAT I MIGHT HAVE IN THIS PAPER BAG?

NOT BALLS... NOT AN ELEPHANT... NOT A...

DINING ROOM TABLE.

I'LL TELL YOU.

SOME CANS AND GLASS BOTTLES.

THESE CANS AND BOTTLES ARE EMPTY, AND THE PEOPLE IN OUR FAMILY HAVE THROWN THEM AWAY BECAUSE THEY DON'T NEED THEM ANYMORE, BUT THERE'S ONE MORE THING WE CAN DO WITH THEM.

WE CAN HELP THEM TO GET RECYCLED.

DID YOU FIND ANYBODY WHO KNOWS WHAT RECYCLING MEANS?

MR. McFEELY KNOWS OF A PLACE WHERE PEOPLE ACTUALLY TAKE CANS AND BOTTLES AND START TO RECYCLE THEM.

HE TOLD ME THAT HE WOULD TAKE US THERE.

THAT'S WHY I BROUGHT THESE THINGS.

IF I TAKE THEM TO THE RECYCLING PLACE, THEY WON'T FILL UP SOME DUMP.

MR. McFEELY SHOULD BE HERE SOON.

I'LL FEED THE FISH, THEN I'LL KNOW THAT'S TAKEN CARE OF.

HI, FISH.

HOW ABOUT SOME FOOD?

A LITTLE FOOD FOR YOU THERE.

I LIKE TO TAKE CARE OF YOU.

DO YOU HAVE ANY THINGS THAT YOU TAKE CARE OF?

A PET OR A TOY?

OR A PILLOW OR A BLANKET?

OR A MOM OR A DAD?

YOU COULD SING A SONG LIKE THAT TO THEM.

READY TO GO RECYCLING?

YES.

I BROUGHT SOME THINGS WITH ME-- SOME CANS AND SOME GLASS BOTTLES.

HAVE YOU SEPARATED YET?

NOT YET.

I'LL HELP YOU.

RIGHT HERE.

THERE ARE BOXES HERE.

CANS AND BOTTLES-- A BOX FOR EACH.

YOU HAVE TO PUT THE CANS IN ONE?

THE CANS GO IN THERE AND THE BOTTLES IN ANOTHER ONE.

AT THE RECYCLING PLACE, THERE'S A MACHINE FOR CANS AND A MACHINE FOR BOTTLES.

YOU'LL SEE WHEN WE GET THERE.

BOTTLES.

I'VE BEEN COLLECTING AROUND THE NEIGHBORHOOD THIS MORNING, THIS AFTERNOON, AND ALL EVENING, AND I HAVE A LOT TO TAKE.

HERE ARE MORE CANS.

THANK YOU.

MAY I KEEP THIS BAG?

OF COURSE.

AT HOME, I HAVE A BOX FOR CANS AND A BOX FOR BOTTLES.

WHEN I'M FINISHED, I PUT THEM IN.

I'LL PUT THIS IN HERE.

A LOT YOU CAN DO WITH PAPER BAGS.

THAT'S RIGHT.

SHOULD WE TAKE OUR BIKES?

IS IT TOO FAR TO WALK?

NOT TOO FAR.

LET'S JUST WALK.

SPEEDY DELIVERY WALKING.

LET'S GO TO THE RECYCLING PLACE AND FIND OUT MORE ABOUT IT.

RIGHT THIS WAY.

HERE WE ARE AT THE RECYCLING CENTER.

I'M GLAD TO SEE THIS PLACE.

HELLO THERE.

HELLO.

HI, BOB.

HERE WE ARE.

MR. McFEELY, HOW ARE YOU?

BOB LILLEY, MEET FRED ROGERS.

HI, MISTER ROGERS.

WHAT DO I DO?

SET THEM ON THE SCALE.

LOOKS LIKE 26 POUNDS.

26 POUNDS.

VERY GOOD.

I'LL PUT MINE DOWN.

YOU KNOW ALL ABOUT THIS.

I'VE BEEN HERE A LOT.

4 1/2 POUNDS.

VERY GOOD.

OK. HMM.

IT MIGHT BE FUN TO GET ON THAT SCALE.

ASK BOB.

ANYBODY GET WEIGHED THEMSELVES?

ALL THE TIME.

THE LITTLE KIDS LIKE THAT.

WOULD YOU LIKE TO SEE THE CAN PROCESS?

SURE.

I'D LIKE TO WATCH.

RIGHT THIS WAY.

NOW, THIS MACHINE SQUEEZES THE CANS.

THEY DUMP THEM IN, IT SQUEEZES THEM.

A COMPACTOR.

COMPACTOR.

RIGHT.

YOU'LL SEE.

YOU HAVE TO WEAR SAFETY GLASSES.

HERE, YOU WEAR THESE, AND I'LL TAKE THESE.

YOU MEAN IT'S DANGEROUS TO WATCH?

JUST FOR SAFETY.

YOU NEVER KNOW.

THIS IS MIKE AND DAVE.

HELLO, MIKE.

HI, DAVE.

THEY HELP RUN THE COMPACTOR.

WHAT DOES THAT DO?

THAT PUTS A LOT OF CANS INTO A SMALLER SPACE.

THEN THEY'RE MADE INTO NEW CANS?

THAT'S EXACTLY RIGHT.

LET'S WATCH IT WORK.

HERE, DAVE.

AND THERE GO YOUR CANS, MR. McFEELY.

THANK YOU.

LOOK AT THAT BIG THING COMING DOWN.

AND THAT PRESSES THEM ALL TOGETHER?

THERE IT GOES.

IT FORMS IT INTO A NICE, NEAT BALE.

[MACHINE SHUTS OFF] OH, MY.

LOOK AT ALL THOSE CANS.

IS IT ALL RIGHT IF I GO LOOK?

YES.

TAKE A LOOK THERE.

YOURS ARE RIGHT ALONG IN HERE, MR. McFEELY.

NOW WHAT DO YOU DO WITH ALL OF THIS?

WE TIE THEM OFF WITH TIES, AND THEY'LL RESEMBLE THESE BALES.

LET ME SEE THOSE.

OH, THESE DON'T LOOK LIKE CANS, BOB.

YOU'RE EXACTLY RIGHT, MISTER ROGERS.

THAT'S CARDBOARD.

CARDBOARD?

AND THAT'S ALL COMPACTED?

IN THE SAME MACHINE AS THE CANS ARE.

AND LIKEWISE HERE.

THE PLASTIC MILK CONTAINERS ARE DONE IN THE SAME MACHINE.

OH, THESE ARE ALL PLASTIC MILK CONTAINERS.

YOU SEND THESE BALES OFF TO MAKE NEW PLASTIC AND THIS CARDBOARD OFF TO MAKE NEW CARDBOARD?

THAT'S RIGHT.

AND THE CANS OFF TO MAKE NEW CANS.

WHAT ABOUT THE GLASS?

THAT'S OVER HERE.

THERE'S A LOT OF GLASS IN HERE.

WE'RE DOING THE CLEAR GLASS, TOO.

MIKE, WOULD YOU ADD MISTER ROGERS' GLASS?

I CAN SEE WHY YOU WEAR THESE.

NOW WHAT HAPPENS?

IT WILL GO UP A CONVEYER, GO INTO A GRINDING WHEEL, AND COME OUT IN LITTLE PIECES.

AND THEN THOSE TINY BITS OF GLASS GET MADE INTO NEW BOTTLES?

THAT'S EXACTLY RIGHT.

IS IT SOMETHING WE CAN WATCH?

YES.

IT'S EXTREMELY DANGEROUS AND VERY NOISY.

WE OUGHT TO BACK AWAY FROM IT.

[GLASS CLINKING AND GRINDING] THANK YOU FOR SHOWING US THAT.

YOU'RE QUITE WELCOME.

YOU WANT THESE BACK.

HERE ARE MINE.

LOOKS LIKE YOU'RE VERY BUSY.

YES.

I BETTER GET TO WORK.

THANKS VERY MUCH.

THANKS, BOB.

HELLO.

HI.

YOU ALWAYS HAVE THINGS TO TEACH PEOPLE.

I LIKE TO TEACH AND LEARN.

TEACHING AND LEARNING GO TOGETHER.

THEY CERTAINLY DO, BUT RIGHT NOW, IT'S A SPEEDY DELIVERY FOR ME.

I'LL PUT ON MY HELMET AND BUCKLE UP.

SPEEDY DELIVERY.

YOU KEEP THAT BACK HERE.

THAT'S RIGHT.

ON TO BICYCLING.

BYE-BYE.

THANKS AGAIN.

BYE-BYE.

IT'S GOOD TO KNOW THAT A LOT OF THINGS THAT WE USE CAN BE USED OVER AGAIN.

IN FACT, EVERYBODY CAN HELP.

JUST NOT WASTE THINGS, FOR ONE.

JUST NOT USE ANY MORE THAN WE REALLY NEED-- OF ANYTHING.

WE'LL HAVE SOME MAKE-BELIEVE.

TROLLEY.

[DING!

DING!]

[TOOT!

TOOT!]

[DING!

DING!]

LAST TIME, WE WERE MAKE-BELIEVING ABOUT THE DUMP AT SOME PLACE ELSE.

THAT'S WHERE ALL THE NEIGHBORS WERE TAKING ALL THEIR GARBAGE UNTIL DONKEY HODIE AND HARRIET COW SAID, "THERE'S NO MORE ROOM IN THIS DUMP."

SO PEOPLE ARE GOING TO HAVE TO FIND A NEW DUMP OR FIND SOME DIFFERENT THINGS TO DO WITH WHAT THEY THROW AWAY.

LET'S JUST THINK ABOUT THAT NOW, AS THE TROLLEY GOES THROUGH THE TUNNEL AND ALONG THE CASTLE GARDEN TRACKS IN THE NEIGHBORHOOD OF MAKE-BELIEVE.

READY, TROLLEY?

ALL RIGHT.

[TOOT!

TOOT!]

[DING!

DING!]

[TOOT!]

[DING!

DING!]

[TOOT!]

OH, THIS.

IT'S A NOSEMUFF.

IT'S SO I CAN'T SMELL THE GARBAGE.

KING FRIDAY GAVE ONE TO EVERYONE.

[TOOT!

TOOT!]

YES, HE CERTAINLY IS.

[DING!

DING!]

THANKS, TROLLEY.

I HOPE SO, TOO.

[DING!

DING!]

OH, IT LOOKS LIKE THERE'S MORE THAN EVER.

OH.

GARBAGE DOESN'T END.

HANDYMAN NEGRI WAS SO TIRED, I TOLD HIM TO REST AND I WOULD HELP.

WHAT CAN YOU DO?

WE DON'T HAVE A DUMP.

[ROYAL FANFARE ♪♪] UH, MISS PAULIFFICATE AND LADY ABERLIN, I PRESUME.

CORRECT AS USUAL.

CORRECT AS USUAL.

SOMEHOW, YOU SOUND DIFFERENT.

IT'S THE NOSEMUFF, YOUR MAJESTY.

OH, OF COURSE.

UH, THEY'RE VERY ELEGANT.

BUT WE SHOULDN'T HAVE TO WEAR NOSEMUFFS, UNCLE FRIDAY.

YOU'RE ABSOLUTELY CORRECT.

WHAT ARE WE GOING TO DO ABOUT THE GARBAGE PROBLEM?

I'M GIVING YOU AN ASSIGNMENT.

ME?

YES.

WHAT IS THE ASSIGNMENT?

YOU HAVE THE HONOR OF FINDING A NEW DUMP SO THESE BARRELS HAVE SOMEPLACE TO GO.

A NEW DUMP?

ISN'T THAT AN EXCITING ASSIGNMENT?

WELL, I-- YOU ALWAYS LOVE A CHALLENGE.

MAY I SAY BEFORE I GO A STEP FURTHER, I'M VERY PROUD OF YOU.

OH, BUT I-- I TRUST THAT YOU WILL HELP, MISS PAULIFFICATE.

OH, OF COURSE.

YES, OF COURSE.

THE ASSIGNMENT IS IN GOOD HANDS, THEN.

SIMPLY FIND A NEW DUMP.

FAREWELL.

FAREWELL, UNCLE FRIDAY.

FAREWELL, KING FRIDAY.

NOW WHAT DO WE DO?

WE FIND A NEW DUMP.

WILL YOU MAKE TELEPHONE CALLS?

I WILL.

I'LL GET IDEAS FROM OTHERS AROUND THE NEIGHBORHOOD.

GOOD LUCK.

THANKS.

SAME TO YOU.

[DING DING] HEY THERE, LADY ABERLINA.

HI, X.

WHY IS THAT THING ON YOUR NOSE?

WE HAVE TO WEAR THESE BY THE CASTLE.

BECAUSE IT SMELLS?

RIGHT.

WANT TO TRY IT ON?

SURE.

WHAT'S IT CALLED?

A NOSEMUFF.

NOSEMUFF?

HA HA HA!

I CAN'T BREATHE WITH THIS THING ON.

PLEASE TAKE IT OFF.

OOH!

WHEW!

SEE WHY WE NEED A NEW DUMP?

SO YOU WON'T HAVE TO WEAR THAT.

WHERE COULD WE FIND A NEW DUMP?

I COULD FLY AROUND AND LOOK FOR ONE.

THAT WOULD BE A GOOD HELP.

INCIDENTALLY, WHERE IS HENRIETTA PUSSYCAT?

SHE'S OVER AT THE CARING CENTER.

SHE'S BEEN WORKING THERE WITH THE CHILDREN.

I MIGHT GO OVER THERE.

I'LL LET YOU KNOW IF I FIND A PLACE.

YOU'RE A BIG HELP.

I'M A FLYING HELP.

HELLO?

ANYBODY THERE?

WERE YOU CALLING?

OH, MRS. DINGLEBORDER.

HOW ARE YOU?

I'M ALL RIGHT.

THE FACTORY IS SO BUSY.

I DON'T MEAN TO DISTURB YOU, BUT WE'RE HAVING SOME DIFFICULTY.

IS IT ABOUT NOSEMUFFS?

WELL... WE'RE MAKING THEM AS FAST AS WE CAN.

YOU'RE MAKING NOSEMUFFS?

YES.

PEOPLE ARE BUYING THEM FOR THEIR NOSES.

LIKE THIS ONE?

THAT'S THE KIND.

WE'RE MAKING THEM INSTEAD OF ROCKITS.

SO THIS GARBAGE PROBLEM IS WIDESPREAD.

SOUNDS LIKE IT.

I THINK PEOPLE SHOULD RECYCLE.

DAPHNE DINGLEBORDER, WANTED INSIDE FACTORY.

I'D BETTER GET BACK.

CAN YOU TELL HENRIETTA PUSSYCAT I'M OUT HERE?

SURE.

SHE'S A CARING CAT.

OH, I KNOW.

HI THERE, LADY ABERLIN.

HI, CORNEY.

HOW ARE YOU?

BUSY AS A CROW.

MAKING NOSEMUFFS, I HEAR.

HUNDREDS OF THEM.

WILL YOU THROW THESE SCRAPS AWAY?

WHY ARE YOU THROWING THIS WOOD AWAY?

SCRAPS!

COULDN'T YOU USE THEM FOR SOMETHING?

JUST THROW THEM AWAY.

WE HAVE NO PLACE TO TAKE OUR GARBAGE.

COULDN'T WE USE WESTWOOD'S DUMP?

THAT'S AN IDEA, AT LEAST FOR THE TIME BEING.

WE GOT TOGETHER WITH THEM ABOUT THE COMMUNITY POOL.

THANKS FOR THE IDEA.

YOU'RE WELCOME TO THE SCRAPS.

SEE YOU LATER.

BYE.

LADY MEOWMERLIN?

OH, HEN, I'M GLAD TO SEE YOU.

HEN MEOW MEOW DAPHNE.

SHE'S LOVELY.

MEOW MEOW NAPTIME.

MEOW MEOW WANT ME MEOW?

I WANTED TO ASK YOU ABOUT FINDING A NEW DUMP, BUT CORNEY SUGGESTED WE ASK WESTWOOD.

MEOW MEOW GOOD IDEA.

AT LEAST FOR THE TIME BEING.

I HOPE YOUR WORK IS GOING WELL.

MEOW LOVE MEOW LITTLE ONES.

THEY'RE LUCKY TO HAVE YOUR CARE-TAKING.

MEOW.

WELL, SEE YOU.

MEOW MEOW, LADY MEOW.

WHAT'S GOING ON?

MAYOR MAGGIE'S MEETING WITH THE KING.

HOW LUCKY CAN WE GET?

I'M JUST ABOUT TO TALK WITH HER.

ABOUT A NEW DUMP?

YOU GUESSED IT.

CORNEY'S IDEA.

SHE'S COMING HERE TO HAVE AN EMERGENCY MEETING.

WHAT COULD THAT BE ABOUT?

I HAVE NO IDEA.

AM I EVER GLAD TO SEE YOU ALL.

WHY ARE YOU WEARING THOSE NOSEMUFFS?

OH, I SEE.

DO YOU HAVE AN EXTRA ONE?

[ROYAL FANFARE ♪♪] HE HAS ONE ON, TOO.

PAULIFFICATE, NIECE, AND MAYOR, I PRESUME.

CORRECT AS USUAL.

CORRECT AS USUAL.

YOU REQUESTED AN EMERGENCY MEETING?

I DID, KING FRIDAY.

I SEE YOU'RE PREPARED WITH A NOSEMUFF.

IF YOU NEED MORE, CORNFLAKE S. PECIALLY IS MAKING THEM.

VERY GOOD.

NOW, ABOUT OUR EMERGENCY.

I HOPE YOU CAN HELP US.

THAT'S WHAT KINGS ARE FOR.

ASK AND YOU WILL RECEIVE.

WE'VE DISCOVERED OUR DUMP AT WESTWOOD-- YOUR DUMP?

YES.

OUR DUMP IS FULL.

COULD WE USE THIS NEIGHBORHOOD'S DUMP?

THIS IS SOMETHING WE WILL HAVE TO DISCUSS MUCH FURTHER.

THE DUMP IN WESTWOOD IS FULL, TOO.

YES.

[DING!

DING!]

[TOOT!

TOOT!]

[DING!

DING!]

[TOOT!

TOOT!]

NOW THE WESTWOOD DUMP IS FULL, TOO.

WHAT DO YOU THINK THEY'LL DO?

I WONDER IF THEY'LL THINK SERIOUSLY ABOUT WHAT MRS. DINGLEBORDER SAID.

DIDN'T SHE SUGGEST SOMETHING ABOUT RECYCLING?

SPEAKING OF THAT, I WANT TO SHOW YOU SOMETHING THAT SOMEBODY MADE FOR ME... FROM WOOD THAT WAS GOING TO BE THROWN AWAY.

I'LL TAKE IT TO THE KITCHEN.

A FRIEND OF MINE FOUND WOOD THAT WAS GOING TO BE THROWN AWAY, AND THAT FRIEND MADE SOME BLOCKS.

OOP.

NOW, THE WHOLE IDEA WITH BLOCKS IS, YOU CAN BUILD... ONE BUILDING... AND THEN YOU CAN USE THE SAME BLOCKS... TO BUILD ANOTHER BUILDING.

THAT'S RECYCLING RIGHT THERE.

USE THE SAME THING OVER TO DO SOMETHING ELSE.

YOU CAN MAKE ALL SORTS OF THINGS WITH THAT PLUS YOUR IMAGINATION.

ALSO... ONE OTHER THING I WANT TO SHOW YOU.

YOU CAN USE SOME TUBES... AND SOME DIFFERENT COLORED PAPER.

I THINK I'LL...

I THINK I'LL...

I LEARNED TO DO THIS ONE TIME WHEN I WAS IN SCHOOL.

I HAD A TEACHER WHO HAD SUCH GREAT IDEAS.

SHE SAID, "FREDDY, "YOU CAN JUST TAKE A TOILET PAPER TUBE "AND ROLL IT IN A PIECE OF PAPER LIKE THIS, PUT A LITTLE BIT OF TAPE ON IT..." "AND TAKE SOME KIND OF REAL THIN PAPER, "AND STICK IT IN THE TOP OF IT, AND YOU'VE GOT A TREE."

HA HA!

YOU CAN TAKE ANOTHER KIND OF TUBE-- OOP.

DOWN GOES THE TREE-- EASILY RECYCLED.

HA HA!

EVEN TALLER TREE.

TWO TREES.

THE BEST KIND OF TOY IS THE ONE YOU MAKE FOR YOURSELF.

WHEN YOU MAKE THINGS FOR YOURSELF, IT'S LIKE TAKING CARE OF YOURSELF.

YOU COULD SING THAT SONG TO YOURSELF.

♪ I LIKE TO TAKE CARE OF YOU ♪ ♪ YES, I DO ♪ ♪ YES, I DO ♪ ♪ I LIKE TO TAKE CARE OF YOU ♪ ♪ YES, I DO ♪ ♪ YES, I DO ♪ ♪ I LIKE TO CLEAN UP MY THINGS ♪ ♪ YES, I DO ♪♪ TREES INTO HERE.

AND BLOCKS...

INTO THE OTHER PLACE.

IT'S REALLY GOOD TO TAKE CARE OF YOURSELF.

AND IT'S GOOD TO TAKE CARE OF OTHER PEOPLE, TOO.

AND THINGS.

WHEN YOU'RE ABLE TO TAKE CARE OF YOURSELF, YOU CAN FEEL THAT YOU ARE GROWING.
