Answering questions about garbage

Robin Nagle, the anthropologist-in-residence for the New York City Department of Sanitation, gave an outstanding at Gel 2009 - watch her video.

Robin recently fielded questions from New York Times readers on the NYT site, including...

• What kinds of food scraps are most attractive to rodents, flies and other pests?

• What's the best "swag" you've ever picked out of the trash?

• What types of products are the most often discarded without ever having being used?

Read her answers here. (And here is her bio that the NYT posted.)
