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.
