In an animation, Andy, a garbologist with brown hair and a beard, drives a small truck through a garbage dump. The truck's roof has a propeller and a solar panel. A wide broom is on the truck's underside. On the side are a tool panel, a vacuum hose, a garbage bin, recycling bins for food and electronic waste, and a blue bin for paper, cans, and bottles.

[Upbeat music plays, tires screeching]

Andy says, YOU WANNA KNOW A SECRET? SOME OF THE BEST STORIES CAN BE FOUND IN YOUR STINKY, SLIMY, ROTTEN TRASH. DON'T BELIEVE ME? CHECK THIS OUT!

The truck takes off. Smiling garbage gathers.

Title: Garbology.

Andy lands his truck in front of a house with an open trashcan.

[Whirring, thumping]

Andy says, TODAY, LET ME INTRODUCE YOU TO EVERYBODY'S CLOSE AND PERSONAL FRIEND, THE DISPOSABLE WIPE!

A spotlight shines on the sidewalk in front of the trashcan.

[Drum roll, cymbals crashing]

Andy says, UH, OUR GUEST TODAY DOESN'T SEEM TO BE QUITE HERE YET. MAYBE THE LITTLE GUY IS SHY.

[Loud thumping]

Andy says, WHAT IS THAT SOUND? AND THAT SMELL?

A giant baby wipe arrives behind Andy.

The baby wipe says, HERE I COME!

Andy says, BABY WIPE? WHAT HAPPENED TO YOU?

The baby wipe says, WHAT HAPPENED WAS AFTER I WAS USED, I WAS FLUSHED DOWN THE TOILET.

[Toilet flushing]

Andy says, EW! I'M SORRY.

The baby wipe says, DON'T BE. THAT WAS THE FUN PART, BUT THEN I GOT STUCK TOGETHER WITH OTHER BABY WIPES, COTTON BALLS, FOOD, AND OTHER THINGS PEOPLE SHOULDN'T FLUSH DOWN THE TOILET OR DUMP DOWN THE DRAIN, INCLUDING GREASE AND COOKING OIL.

Other wipes, cotton balls, apple cores, a banana peel, and paper stick to the baby wipe.

[Squelching]

The baby wipe says, THAT STUFF REALLY HOLDS US ALL TOGETHER.

The baby wipe grows larger.

[Squelching]

The baby wipe says, SO WE JUST KEPT GROWING AND GROWING LIKE THE WORLD'S MOST DISGUSTING SNOWBALL.

Andy says, WELL, LET'S SEE IF THERE'S SOMETHING I CAN DO TO HELP YOU.

The truck extends a grabber, the mechanical arm, and the vacuum hose.

[Whirring, clanking]

Andy says, HMM, IT'S VERY HARD TO DO ANYTHING ABOUT YOU.

The baby wipe says, TELL ME ABOUT IT. I CLOG SEWER PIPES AND CAUSE MASSIVE PLUMBING PROBLEMS.

Andy says, LET'S TRY THIS, THE HIGH-PRESSURE WATER BLASTER.

Andy sprays the baby wipe with water.

[Spraying, baby wipe giggling]

The baby wipe says, THAT TICKLES!

The baby wipe falls over, and small wipes and cotton balls fly up into the air.

[Thudding, squelching]

Andy says, NOW THAT'S WHAT I CALL A WIPEOUT. REMEMBER, KIDS: EVEN THOUGH SOME WIPES ARE BIODEGRADABLE, NEVER FLUSH ANY DOWN THE TOILET. JUST PUT THEM IN THE GARBAGE.

The mechanical arm reaches into the wet debris on the ground and takes out the baby wipe.

[Whirring]

The baby wipe says, AND DON'T FLUSH COTTON BALLS EITHER.

Andy says, OR TOOTHPICKS, OR DENTAL FLOSS.

[Whirring]

The baby wipe says, OR RUBBER DUCKS, OR HOMEWORK, OR HAMSTERS...

Andy says, UH, SURE.

The baby wipe says, TELL YOUR PARENTS TOO!

The mechanical arm puts the baby wipe in a bin on the other side of the truck.

Andy says, GOOD ADVICE. REMEMBER, KIDS: REDUCE, REUSE, AND RECYCLE.

[Upbeat music plays]

Andy jumps into his truck and vacuums up the wet debris.

[Grunting, whirring]

Andy says, SMELL YOU LATER.

[Whirring]
