I pick up plastic, all kinds of plastic,
The strangest plastic that you ever did see!
The green truck drives all around, all around,
The green truck drives all round!

Where does paper come from?
Wood helps make paper.
Wood comes from trees.
When trees are planted.
They grow and grow and grow,
Just like you do too!

Each morning my neighbour reads the newspaper,
And then they go and put it in the bin each afternoon!
When I come to pick it up in my green truck,
It’s nicely stacked and sorted, what good luck!
