# De Vuilafvoer Maatschappij bestaat vijftig jaar

Attention for the processing of domestic waste in the Netherlands on the occasion of the fiftieth anniversary of the VAM, which processes one million tons of waste annually in about 130 municipalities. SHOTS: garbage man throws garbage bags into garbage truck; gulls fly around garbage dump; bulldozer crushes garbage and covers it with a layer of sand (after which, according to the commentator, the area is "excellent for recreation"); garbage incinerator; picture in book of a 1929 garbage collection truck; train carrying VAM containers dumps waste along the track; garbage is automatically wet-sprayed to promote microbial activity; waste that has turned to compost after some time is thrown into a container via a hopper using a crane grabber; conveyor belts with compost and the non-digestible waste filtered out.
