Spurred by the belief that revolutions start at home, filmmaker Andrew Nisker persuaded Glen and Michele MacDonald, parents of three growing children, to measure their garbage output by retaining the family's refuse for three months. While the MacDonald's garage fills up with waste bags, foul odors and maggots, Nisker provides illuminating reporting revealing what actually happens to refuse after it disappears into a garbage truck.
