It is the day before the winter holidays, and the class is taking stuff to the recycling center, which is run by Friz’s cousin, Murph (Dolly Parton). Wanda is going to see The Nutcracker by Pyotr Ilyich Tchaikovsky and is bringing a toy soldier instead of taking money, as they are taking toys to give to homeless children. As usual, something goes wrong. Arnold mistakes the soldier for something being taken to the recycling center and it is turned into plastic pellets. An enraged Wanda declares she wishes recycling had never been invented. Naturally, this gives the Friz an idea. She turns the magic school bus into an anti-recycling machine, which changes the city to the way it would be without recycling. It cuts down the forest, and turns recycling trucks into garbage trucks. The class is confused when it turns the swing set in the park into aluminum cans and such. Wanda is still pleased, since if recycling had never been invented, then her soldier would be still waiting for them in the classroom. However the bus turns the school into a garbage dump when they get there. Finally, the bus "unrecycles" itself. Wanda then apologizes to Arnold for having ever wanted to get rid of recycling, and wants it back. The Friz changes the bus so it changes everything back. Wanda makes new toy soldiers from the melted plastic pellets. Arnold has to leave for his sick grandmother for Hanukkah, but to his surprise, his classmates, the Friz, and Murph appear.

00:28Run on the Magic School Bus
00:48Wanda! Wanda!
00:50Huh?
00:51We're just sorting this stuff
00:52You don't have to massacre it
00:54What?
00:56Oh...
00:57I was just thinking about something
01:00Okay, paper bundle number 87 comin' at ya
01:06Step on it, Liz
01:07Yeah, we've still got lots of stuff to sort
01:11Aluminum, aluminum
01:13Plastic, plastic
01:14Oh, why do we have to sort the stuff anyway?
01:19Because that's what you do before you recycle things
01:22Glass, glass
01:23Well, I can't wait to get it over with
01:27What's the problem, Wanda?
01:30When Arnold suggested collecting stuff to be recycled
01:32We all agreed it was a good idea
01:35Oh, I know, but if Arnold doesn't get here soon
01:38I'll miss the ba-
01:40Oh, never mind
01:41Miss what?
01:43Uh, nothing
01:44Come on, Wanda
01:45With you, nothing is always something
01:47What's going on?
01:49What's up?
01:50I'm going to see the Nutcracker tonight
01:52The Nutcracker?
01:54The ballet?
01:55You...
01:56Yeah, me!
01:57I've been waiting all year for this
01:59The music, the dancers, the costumes
02:03Oh, it's going to be beautiful
02:06And to get in, you bring a toy to give away instead of a ticket
02:10So kids who aren't able to have a holiday can get a present too
02:13So I guess that's why you brought him, huh?
02:16Yep, I've had him ever since I was little
02:18I hope the kid who gets him likes him as much as I have
02:21Well, as the Frizz would probably say
02:24It's good news to reuse
02:27Exactly!
02:29Miss Frizzle!
02:30And what you can't reuse, re-cycle
02:35Nice toss
02:36If you've sorted enough, let's recycle this stuff
02:40But we can't go without Arnold
02:42If he doesn't get here soon, I'll be late to the theater
02:44And they don't let you in after it's started
02:48Hi, guys! Sorry I'm late
02:50Just had to take care of something at home
02:51I brought a plastic ladle and another bin to put it in
02:56You made it just in time, Arnold
02:58We're almost finished
03:00We are finished! Come on, come on
03:03Let's load up the bus
03:04Ouch!
03:05Hey, what's that in your pocket?
03:08Nice rock
03:08Well, let's go!
03:11Really, I mean it
03:13It's an early Hanukkah present for my mom
03:15Since I won't be able to see her tonight
03:17It's really cool
03:19But for a rock
03:20Now come on!
03:24To the bus!
03:26Wow!
03:27She really liked it
03:29Come on, Arnold!
03:30What's taking you so long?
03:32Hurry up!
03:33Coming!
03:34What are friends for?
03:36Hmm, they must have missed this
03:44For my twelfth day recycling
03:47My teacher gave to me
03:48Twelve plastic cartons
03:50Eleven ketchup bottles
03:51Ten soap containers
03:52Nine piles of paper
03:53Eight empty milk jugs
03:55Seven cardboard boxes
03:56Six paper napkins
03:57Five soda cans
04:00Four bottle caps
04:02Three use cups
04:03Two plastic bags
04:04And a whole mess of magazines
04:15Whoa!
04:16I've never been in a recycling plant before
04:19Well, who has?
04:21I mean
04:21What do they do with all this stuff?
04:24Clean it up and use it again, right?
04:27Hey, cousin!
04:30What's the deal?
04:31We brought you the stuff dreams are made of, Murph
04:35And the more stuff, the dreamier
04:37Class, say hello to my very first cousin
04:40Katrina Eloise Murphy
04:43Better known as Murph
04:44Hi, Murph
04:46Time's a-wasting, kiddies
04:47An empty bin means we ain't gonna win
04:49Win what, Ms. Murph?
04:51Well, the war against waste, of course
04:53Oh, and save the miz for the frizz, okay?
04:57Hmm, where do you want us to dump this junk?
04:59Oh, careful how you say that word, young lady
05:02Without junk, I'm sunk
05:04How come?
05:06Because my cousin Murph here
05:07Has dedicated her life
05:09To using the old
05:10To make the new
05:13Oh, thanks, Val
05:14You always did have such a way with words
05:16Well, let me show you what we mean
05:18Over here
05:19We got paper
05:20We got plastic two-in-one
05:21We got clear glass and colored glass
05:23And aluminum-uh-uh-uh
05:27Sorting is the first step in recycling
05:30Now, class, start dumping
05:33See, Juan?
05:34This isn't so bad
05:35We've done our good deed
05:37And now you can go see the nutcracker
05:39Arnold, did you...
05:41Is that...
05:42Did you say something, Wanda?
05:44Murph, wait!
05:46Paul!
05:47Murph, you got my soldier!
05:59No!
06:10My soldier?
06:15Why, why, why
06:17Turn a perfectly good toy soldier
06:19Into a pile of
06:20Stupid plastic pellets
06:22I thought recycling meant
06:24That old things got cleaned up
06:25And used again
06:26Not totally trash
06:29Me too
06:30I don't get it
06:31Yeah, what good are plastic pellets?
06:34I...
06:34I didn't know that soldier
06:36Was anything special
06:37It was on the floor in the classroom
06:39And I guess I have a lot on my mind
06:41And...
06:43I don't blame you, Arnold
06:45You don't?
06:47No, I blame your crummy idea!
06:51Oops
06:51Oh, what's the point of recycling anyway?
06:55Well, I...
06:56I just thought...
06:58It's too late to think
06:59If we hadn't been recycling
07:01I'd still have my soldier
07:03And I wouldn't have to miss
07:05The one show I've been looking forward
07:07To seeing all year
07:10But, Wanda
07:11Think about all the good things
07:13That recycling does
07:14Okay, Phoebe
07:15Name three
07:18Well...
07:18Um...
07:19I just know there's lots
07:21Just...
07:22Just forget it!
07:23I wish recycling had never been invented!
07:26Oh, what a fascinating idea!
07:29You don't mean that, do you, Wanda?
07:31Hmm, let's see
07:32What's the best way
07:34To get rid of recycling?
07:36Whoa, I wouldn't get rid of recycling
07:38If I were you, Val
07:39Huh, uh
07:40It won't be a pretty sight
07:42Well, pretty is as pretty does, Murph
07:45It's time to take chances
07:47Make mistakes
07:48And get messy
07:50Getting messy won't be a problem
07:52If you get rid of recycling
07:54Hit it, Liz!
08:03Oh, I hate when that happens
08:05What did happen?
08:07Well, without recycling
08:09I guess there isn't much use
08:10For a recycling plant, is there?
08:19Hey, what happened to those newspapers
08:21Waiting for recycling?
08:22And the trees!
08:23Oh, no, the woods are gone, too!
08:28But don't they use recycled paper
08:30To make newspaper?
08:32Yeah, but if there's no recycling
08:33They have to cut down more trees
08:35To make more paper
08:36There you go, Wanda
08:38That's one good thing about recycling
08:40It saves trees
08:43Wait a minute
08:44If there's no recycling
08:46And no recycling plant
08:47That means my soldier
08:48Didn't get mulched up
08:49That's right!
08:51So maybe
08:52It's still back at the school
08:53So all we have to do now
08:55Is to go get it!
08:57Right, Miss Fizzle?
08:59Sounds like a plan to me, Wanda
09:00I knew it was a good idea
09:03To get rid of recycling
09:04Um, are you really sure about that?
09:07So, if there isn't any recycling
09:09There shouldn't be any of those
09:11Blue recycling bins
09:12Oh, don't say that!
09:19Whoa!
09:20All that stuff waiting to be recycled
09:21Got turned back into garbage
09:23Which means a lot more garbage
09:25Has to go to the dump
09:26So?
09:28So I don't need any research
09:30To know that those recycling tracks
09:31Are going to be garbage tracks
09:33But Walkerville's dump is pretty small
09:35There's no way all this garbage will fit
09:37Miss Fizzle, please stop the bus
09:39We have to figure out what's going on
09:44See?
09:45Except for the garbage
09:46Getting rid of recycling
09:48Hasn't done anything to the park
09:58I think you spoke too soon
10:00Is it just me?
10:02Or is this a pile of trash
10:03Where the swimsuit used to be?
10:05This is really weird
10:08What's going on?
10:10What's wrong with the bus?
10:11Come on, come on, come on
10:13I've got to go back to school
10:15I have to get my toy soldier
10:16Before the whole town
10:18Gets turned inside out
10:21I know exactly where my soldier is
10:23Yeah, but Wanda, wait
10:24What about the bus?
10:25What's going to happen to our town?
10:27Oh no!
10:28It's going to do it again
10:34Our school!
10:36It's all covered up with junk
10:39Well, no recycling means more garbage
10:42And more garbage means a bigger dump
10:44I knew we'd need a bigger dump
10:46But I never thought they'd use our playground
10:48How am I ever going to find my soldier in that mess?
10:52Wanda, how are we going to go to school in that mess?
10:55At my old school, we never had piles of garbage
10:59There you go, Wanda
11:00Reason number two for recycling
11:01Lots less garbage
11:03Hmm
11:04If you want, I'll go see if I can find your soldier
11:07In all that garbage?
11:09Forget it, Arnold
11:10It'll take forever
11:11I'm really sorry I messed up your plans, Wanda
11:14It's okay, Arnold
11:16I'm really sorry I messed up our town
11:18For all I know, the ballet theater's been turned into a dump too
11:23Uh-oh
11:24So why did I ever think it was a good idea to get rid of our cycling?
11:29You-you set it off again!
11:37Oh no!
11:39What have I done?
11:41The bus got sunk!
11:47Oh bad!
11:48Oh bad!
11:49Oh bad, bad, bad, bad!
11:52Wanda, our bus is a pile of junk!
11:54What does all this stuff have to do with the bus?
11:57Yeah, it's like the swing set and the bench
11:59One minute, they were there
12:01And the next minute, they were junk
12:03Watch how you say that word
12:05We know, Murph
12:07Without junk, you're sunk
12:08But with junk, she's got it made
12:13Yeah, too bad you can't make us a bus, Murph
12:15What's the problem?
12:17The bus just needs a few missing parts, that's all
12:20A lot of parts, you mean?
12:22All we have are things like peanut butter jars
12:24And milk jacks
12:26Wait a minute, wait a minute, wait a minute!
12:30Is all this stuff, stuff people recycled?
12:33Yes
12:34So, when I accidentally unrecycled the bus
12:38Everything on it made from recycled stuff
12:41Turned back into what it was before it became the things on the bus
12:45Just like the school and the playground
12:47But how do you make a bus out of all of this... stuff?
12:51Good question, Carlos
12:52Any ideas, class?
12:55Well, bottles are made of glass
12:57And so are the bus' windows
12:59Yeah, and these things are all aluminum
13:02Just like the body of the bus
13:04But what in the bus is made of plastic?
13:07Oh, the dashboard, the seats, the do-dinger, the port-a-shrinker, the three-phase hydrolated displacement...
13:12Pump you later?
13:13Shall I go on?
13:15So, all we've got to do is turn these glass bottles and aluminum cans and plastic stuff back into glass,
13:24aluminum, and plastic
13:25We can use these materials to remake the bus
13:28Let's do it!
13:30Um, just how do we change all that stuff into the things we need?
13:35Melt it!
13:36That's the real secret of recycling
13:38Melt it down and make new things out of old materials
13:41Like you melted all the plastic at the recycling plant!
13:46You're hot today, Keisha!
13:48It's time to sort it, melt it, and mold it!
13:52Let's get to work!
13:53Say, Val, you wouldn't happen to have a...
13:55I do indeed, Murph!
13:56I never go anywhere without my portable melts everything every time recycling that!
14:02Terrific!
14:02And I...
14:03I know I have an old bus mold in here somewhere
14:07Ah, here it is!
14:09Ready, class!
14:11Ready!
14:15Metal here, bottles there, sort them in the bins
14:18Broiler pans and soda cans, just throw them all right in!
14:22Hey!
14:22Plastic gels, margarine tops, pretty soon you'll know
14:25What goes into a magic bus
14:27Ready, here we go!
14:29So melt that metal down, pour it in the bin
14:32Load!
14:33Now we're shaping something new from something old!
14:36Ha ha ha!
14:37And we'll melt some glass!
14:38Cause windows are a plus!
14:40When you want to recreate your favorite magic bus
14:43Oh!
14:44Plastic now, this is how we chop up what we choose
14:47Melt it cool
14:48And now we've got some pellets we can use
14:51Recycling's fun, when we're done you'll enjoy the view
14:55Cause though it's made from stuff that sold our bus
14:57We'll be brand new!
15:01Woohoo!
15:02Yeah!
15:03Amazing what you can do with a few old bottles and cans
15:07And plastic!
15:09If we had thrown on all the stuff we thought was junk
15:12We'd never be able to get our bus back!
15:16And it's not just plastic, we have to recycle everything!
15:21Because every time we recycle something old to make something new
15:25We're saving our natural resources!
15:28Like trees!
15:29And the more we recycle, the less we throw away!
15:33And schools will have to become garbage dumps like this one!
15:36Don't you see?
15:38Recycling isn't dumb, it's really smart!
15:41Yeah!
15:41I couldn't have said it better myself!
15:45Miss Frizzle, is there any way we can undo what we undid?
15:49We need to get recycling back!
15:50Let me look at the bus manual!
15:53Ah, here it is!
15:55Undoing what you undid!
15:59I'll just open this, tighten this, give this a little twist!
16:03There!
16:04That ought to undo it!
16:05Look!
16:06Ha ha!
16:07Ha ha!
16:08Ha ha!
16:09Ha ha!
16:10Ha ha!
16:10Ha ha!
16:11Ha ha!
16:12Ha ha!
16:14Recycling's back!
16:15So we don't need to use our school for a dump!
16:18And we don't need to cut down all the trees to make new paper!
16:21Come on, guys!
16:22Let's get the recycling plant back!
16:26Oh, here we come recycling to save the trees so green!
16:30Here we come recycling to keep our planet clean!
16:34We'll recycle this can!
16:36Paper plates and butter pans!
16:38We'll recycle again and again and again!
16:42We'll recycle again and again!
16:49Ah, that's better!
16:53I was just thinking, Lon, if we made all those parts of the bus with recycled stuff,
16:58couldn't we use those plastic pellets to make you a new soldier?
17:01No reason why not!
17:02Then what are we waiting for?
17:06Here are the plastic pellets!
17:08And here are some toy soldier molds!
17:12May I?
17:14Be my guest!
17:31My soldier's back!
17:33Yay!
17:35And there's one for everybody!
17:38Each one of these new soldiers has a bit of my old one in it!
17:41And a brand new life!
17:43It's amazing!
17:46Now that's what I call a field trip!
17:48Wanda, don't you have to go get ready for the nutcracker?
17:51So do you, Arnold!
17:53Now that we have all these soldiers, we can all go!
17:56It'll be a perfect way to start the holiday!
17:58Thanks!
17:59I'd love to, but I've got to catch a train now!
18:02Grandma's sick!
18:03Mom's gone ahead and Dad and I won't get there till morning!
18:06You're going to spend the first night of Hanukkah on a train?
18:09Can't be helped!
18:11Bye!
18:12Have a good holiday, everyone!
18:14But Arnold!
18:16Oh, Wanda!
18:17You were in such a hurry when you left school that you forgot your knapsack!
18:20Bye!
18:21Bye, Arn!
18:22Hope your grandma gets better!
18:24We'll miss you, Arnold!
18:26Poor Arnold!
18:28Yeah...
18:28Thanks for the great day, Murph!
18:31I was really hoping Arnold would come, too!
18:35Huh?
18:36What's this?
18:39Dear Wanda, I'm glad you liked my rock!
18:42Hope you're not still mad at me for being late!

18:48Your friend, Arnold!
19:02Oh, little yellow ladle, a plastic you were made!
19:06I'll recycle you because you won't buy or degrade!
19:09Oh, ladle, ladle, ladle, I hereby guarantee!
19:13That ladle, ladle, ladle, recycled you shall be!
19:17Wanda, what are you guys doing here?
19:20Aren't you guys missing the Nutcracker?
19:22Some things are more important.
19:24Thanks for the rock, Arn!
19:26Well, I... I... you're welcome!
19:29And I got something for you!
19:32Plastic pellets! My favorite!
19:35They have so much potential, don't you think?
19:38Thanks, Wanda!
19:39Funny thing about doing something nice,
19:41it's the kind of thing that's easy to recycle!
19:45Recycling is the gift that keeps on giving
19:49Oh, sing it, Murph Master!
19:52Cause life ain't gonna be worth living
19:58That's right!
19:59Unless we all agree to say
20:02What, Murph?
20:04Don't just throw the world away!
