NO FOOD WASTE ALLOWED HERE

Rumors of waste of food at cantonment “eatnps have l>een hotly resented by officers who have charge of garbage disposal at the various camps. This picture shows the unloading of garbage at the central depot at Camp Meade. The cans are brought from benches underneath the windows of each mess hall. Each Can is labeled for various sorts of refuse so that bones, cans, paper, etc., kro' lnto separate receptacles. The camp’s conservation officer notes the contents of each can as they, are dumped into motortrucks for sale to Contractors. At Camp Meade a cook who falls to scrape a bone properly Is in for a stiff call.
