Dumped	Season 1
Dumped Page Episode 1 11 people arrive at their new home in the middle of tons of waste, right next to an active landfill. But they have no time to whine. They need to build their own shelter out of rubbish and get a fire going for heat and cooking. They are given a pile of food representing the $800 worth - much of it perfectly edible - that the average British adult throws away every year. But they'll have to make it last, and without refrigeration much of it will go bad soon. A visit to the top of the active landfill site gives them a reality check about the sheer scale of what we all throw away every day. And with one of the group already deciding to leave, can any of the others last for three whole weeks? Episode 2 With shelter and food sorted out, and one of the participants already gone, it's time to reveal the group's next challenge - Rob the eco-expert is taking their toilets away. Flushing toilets use huge quantities of drinking-quality water, so the group will need to make themselves a composting toilet. Using just a chair, toilet seat, bath tub and barrel from the trash heap, plus straw and earth, they can now produce compost. The only problem is that someone has to maintain the toilet. The volunteers also discover the value of the rubbish around them. Every day a 40-ton dump truck drops off trash and it's up to them to scavenge piles of aluminium, steel cans, radiators and copper pipes to sell to a scrap merchant in order to buy items to improve their quality of life on the dump. But can they tell the difference between genuine rubbish and things worth salvaging? Episode 3 Just like in real life, tensions are beginning to build between the workers and the shirkers. Green survivalist, Selena, is angry about unwashed plates that could attract flies and rats. Singer, Jason, marine engineer, Ian, and recycling campaigner, Lawrence, are frustrated by the lack of effort shown by some of the group to help improve their standard of living. Aaron, who's a student, and Jermaine, a soccer player, want to take it easy. Eco expert, Rob, encourages the group to do more than survive. Jason builds a solar shower from a water butt and piping, while model, Sasha, creates a spa with a hot tub and sauna, despite never having hammered a nail before. There are more disagreements when it comes to spending the money they made from salvaging materials, and just as they set to work building a more permanent structure, there's a huge storm. Will anyone choose this moment to leave? Episode 4 It's the final week and there's an unpleasant task for someone - tending to the composting facility. But it's a good opportunity for two arguing participants to bury the hatchet. Meanwhile, the dump truck returns and empties its disgusting load onto the dump for the team to go through. Even with head-to-toe protection it's a disgusting job wading through the trash to find things to recycle. It's too much for some, but it shows how much easier it is if people sort out their own waste. Some people find they've been kidding themselves about how green they are. They're all thinking about how they will change their lives when they go back home.
