I was watching Carrier, a new reality television series on PBS channel about sailors aboard the USS Nimitz. And in one of the segments they talk about how waste is managed aboard a Navy ship. From what I gather the trash is sorted into dunnage (which is food scraps), metal/glass, paper and plastic. But then it shows the guy take the burlap bag of metal cans and wood and just throw it down the chute into the water.
What is the point of sorting the garbage if they are going to throw it out to sea anyways. Then the guy says the Navy has been a steward of the environment. And that they sometimes see GreenPeace activists and doesn't think their protests are justified.
What the heck exactly happens to the garbage generated on Navy ships when out on deployment?
