What Happens at the Landfill

[@sdubs]

waste management is arguably the most important thing in society, next to clean running water. It's something that's taken for granted.

[@khaartoumletstalk9037]

Corporations are creating all this waste, not the people. They need to be charged with the responsibility of this stuff is theirs ; ) K

[@elizabethlockley5861]

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.

[@elizabethlockley5861]

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.

[@MariusMerchiers]

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]

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.

[@MariusMerchiers]

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

[@MariusMerchiers]

@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]

@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.

[@mach6893]

Landfills exist because they generate a fortune for Big Waste corporations.

sorry why should i help reduce waste, when the city refuses to pay me what they own? My car hit a huge pothole almost 5ft long by almost 2ft wide it did $3255 damage. i fought with them for 7 months as well as my insurance company. finally nothing got done they claim they didnt know but my tax dollars pay then to up keep good roads, in the end they told me to take the city to court.Of course this will take many 1000's of dollars that i dont have to waste not to mention to sue the city will take years and soo much money that ony rich people can afford to prove a point .

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.

The only thing people in usa are recyling is metal cause you get money when you bring that stuff to someone who is recyling it. Literally every other thing you guys just throw in a dirt hole! Its funny to me that you call this shit even "composting" because 80% of your household trash will not compost at all! All that plastic trash will be in the earth forever cause of that. What a stupid system you have. But no wonder usa doesnt give a shit about environment (pipelines, you literally cuting the rain forest because you voted trump + new fracking, coal mining etc. I could write this list on and on) You dont give a shit about all this stuff either. Dont act like usa is "doing everything it possibly can" like your comments suggests^^ Honestly I probably know more about your countrys and your presidents atrocities than you xD (and im not a citzien unlike you^^) EDIT: Btw usa does not recyle any plastics since 2016 or something like that (dont quote me on this). Its because china does not accept your plastic anymore for free since its cheaper to get new. (this is all from my head and idk if it was the year 2016) Anyways all the plastic from usa also gets in a landfill and will be there for ever. (NO it does not "decompose" like you are caliming)

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.

As upbeat as the VoiceOver and music was, this was the worst propaganda I've ever seen to try to make landfills seem as they were "good" and great. Instead of burying trash, we should make all manufactures (especially the oil companies whose oil is used to create plastics) stop manufacturing products that end up in our landfills, poisoning the water we drink and the air we breath. I'm glad you compost and take in yard trimmings, but that is the only "good" thing this landfill is doing. The rest is not even remotely attacking the real problem of over producing stuff and the excessive consumption of products. America alone creates more waste than any other country on the planet, and somehow we've all been told this huge lie that landfills are the best thing to happen to us. I encourage the city of San Diego to regulate the oil industry and you will find how there is no use for landfills when you solve the real problem.(and that you can power your homes with real renewable energy that produces little green house gases). This is a used bandage-at best- veiling itself as a sustainable cure.
