Every human being creates waste. Yes companies make plastic items we buy & once we consume what’s inside a drink bottle we dispose of it thoughtfully in a bin to be recycled. We buy it use it and help in creating waste.

All Tip-Site stink because of all the household rubbish rotting in the Sun it attracts scavenger birds & rats but it provides few jobs & paycheques to feed families driving forklift trucks is better than standing in the stinky smell directing cars where to dispose their unwanted garbage also the recycling sorting bins for plastic is a cleaner area to work for a job. We all have to dispose of unwanted items we humans use at some point in time, it is better not to use plastic, Glass bottles are easy to recycle so you can make more bottles but glass is so easy to break if dropped and its very sharp, can easily cut your hands so steel gloves are worn to protect.

I think landfills should be a thing of the past. If i had a global garbage company...we would have every one separating their garbage. Paper and cardboard in one can, plastic in another, etc. all the way to compost in one. Compost would be the only thing that will be emptied and buried and the others will be recycled. All former landfills will be exhumed and gone through the above process. We would be cleaning up the planet and not garbaging it up. We would also have giant sweeper machines to go along the sides of the roads to clean up people's ignorantly thrown trash that is on the sides of the roads, etc.

The central location is quite a boon, dramatically reduces fuel consumption for initial transport. And the envirocover is probably an important component of the odor mitigation they need to have for the location. Water for dust control is also obviously more important for this location due to the perpetual earthwork and inconsistant rainfall.

I still don't understand why landfills exist. They are basically enormous waste bins in the ground. I live In Belgium and we recycle plastic, glass, metal, paper,.. The rest is collected and burned, there is no pollution because the burners are very efficient. The energy that comes of the burning is used to generate electricity

@rikkisan1 4 жыл бұрын

Easy answer...money, a lot of cities and states are not willing to put the effort or money into building complex trash burning facilities. On top of that many people who work in the garbage industry are unionized and I'm sure a lot of them would be opposed to replacing their landfill jobs for just simple trash burning.

@The Last Danite Why? Yeah just dump all the trash on earth like you sweep dust under the carpet. 🙄

@MariusMerchiers 4 жыл бұрын

@The Last Danite but most trash is NOT decompostable like plastic! Isn't there enough plastic pollution? When you burn trash the only rest fraction is ash and this will be mixed with asphalt to make roads. The burning energy is recuperated to make electricity. I don't say this method is not without faults but I think its the better method of the two. In trash there is still a lot of energy stored when you burn it more energy gets released in warmth. This warmth can go to houses or to make electricity.

@MariusMerchiers 4 жыл бұрын

@The Last Danite I don't say that the plastic harms anybody, it's just lost plastic that can be recycled. And recycled plastic is better than producing new plastic that requires more oil. Also the amount energy you use to burn rest trash is smaller than the amount of energy that you gain from it. What about metals? Is this completely recuperated from the trash before it gets in the landfills? After burning the trash the metals are seperated from the ashes with magnets and recycled.

appliances get either recycled at the scrapmetal yard for money or refurbished and sold used. air conditioners and refrigerators have gas in them which has to be properly evacuated into another tank. epa regulations could get you in trouble if you release the gas into the atmosphere. the gas they use is expensive so i'm sure that can be reclaimed too.
