1996 - Recycle Center's "Recyclamania" Educational Interactive Exhibit
1996
"Burbank City Council member Bill Wiggins helped unveil 'Recyclamania,' the city's new interactive exhibit. It features a ceiling-high 'learning tree' and a walk-in compost bin constructed entirely from cans, bottles, bedsprings, phone books, clothes and other discards. The learning tree's panels open to reveal an educational dispay on a computer, video screens and a microscope observing worms at work. Nestled in its aluminum can leaves, a plexiglass road carries two recycling trucks bussing along their routes. Inside the glowing compost bin, leaves and grass gradually 'decompose' into fresh soil, aided by fungi, bacteria and animated flies. Designed by artists Ted Baumgart and Kreigh Hampel, 'Recyclamania' enlarges a user-friendly center that has attracted visitors from around the world since it opened in 1992." -LA Times Articles from March 19, 1996
