I saw this comment right as he was telling the story about the horse. Crazy sн¡т, makes you wonder if he's hauled any dead bodies to the landfill without knowing. That's the one thing about those automated trash trucks like his, if somebody outside the truck doesn't see it there is no telling what could be in some of those trash cans that the drivers would never even know. Definitely some crazy sн¡т....

[@zacharyhooley]

Every school in America should make this video a mandatory watch, so children become wise citizens who are intentional about their consumer choices and waste management.

[@stonystarkindustries]

right ? i live in unincorporated antelope valley so weve got the big former-binz dumpsters, and none of our neighbors ever get close to filling it with anything but plant waste . we do maybe a standard kitchen bag of recycling a week (mostly beer bottles from the weekends, and me and one of the kids drink a diet coke or 2 a day - i know bad habit, but a diet coke with lemon is too refreshing when it gets to 115 degrees outside lol) and maybe 3 kitchen bags of trash every 2 to 3 weeks . a couple brita filters save us on what would normally be a costco pack of water at least per week, and they save a ton of money for better tasting water than most bottle brands . also save a ton by not buying boxes or bags of fruit and veggies, paper bags work fine between store and home. really the only non-food or plant waste we have is for meat packaging .

It isn't necessarily the consumer's fault. The company's put everything in cheap plastic containers that aren't reusable in anyway so of course it ends up getting thrown away.

Indeed. I thought that this would be important information to share, given the trash-related nature of this documentary. 35% of all ocean microplastics come from clothing/textiles, mostly polyester, but also acrylic and nylon as well. This is largely due to clothes made of these materials being washed, which causes these clothes to quickly erode, with the microplastic fibers entering the water system and eventually the sea. Ocean Hero is a great search engine that we can use to help clean up larger plastics before they disintegrate into microplastics.

In Sweden, waste (excluding recycled materials) is burned in various cities' thermal power plants that convert energy into electricity and hot water that is distributed to homes via pipes in the ground. Efficient filters purify the exhaust gases so that 98.5% is pure water vapor. Many countries export their waste to Sweden - including GB.

As a landscape contractor, the fact that they replant and being back a normal eco system for the native species literally made me smile so much!

"We Don't Know How Great We Have It". I was in the Army in Mogadishu, Somalia during the Black Hawk Down era. Sometimes we'd take some items to the landfill there. One day we didn't make it to the landfill as we were bombarded by locals and all of our trash, wood scraps, and other items emptied on the spot. One day we did make it to the landfill and low & behold there were about a thousand or more locals waiting on the dumping of an actual trash truck. Once one of those large trucks emptied their loads it was "Balls to the Walls" aggressive pandemonium. I could probably believe that at least one-half of their load was carried away by these locals. That includes food, half-full water bottles, unused pampers and anything else these folks considered consumable or usable. Great visual to see it but a sad one at that.

@@tinacatharinaeden2711 well some places at work that don't cover the trash but specifically landfills and do that to reduce the smell and just in case it rains but they're constantly compacting it every single day as you can see but the prime example is there is so much trash you can't even imagine how much trash goes into these facilities and every city and state every single day it's just a massive amount The world needs to find more sustainable ways because another fifty or a hundred years of this and our grandchildren's grandchildren they're going to be paying the price for it

Interesting to learn that they don't just cover it up with dirt at the end of the day but use tarps instead. A couple of years ago we took a tour of our local landfill and they never mentioned anything like this during that tour.

[@rxgaming7811]

Tarps help a lot with rising up heat underneath if dirt is applied on top it would make a big uneven mess since some stuff doesn’t compose as fast as other things

[@worldchangingvideos6253]

Soil would full it up quicker

[@harry_balz-inall]

They just use the tarps at the end of the day because adding dirt would just take up the space trash could be. Dirt as much as 3 feet deep has to be put over the waste and over that large of an area is a lot of waste. Thats how it was at the landfill i worked at here in GA anyways. It very tricky how you have to operate. If one thing is wrong with anything the EPA will shut you down so quick your head will spin.

I used to work for the company Environmental Specialties International. We installed the liner that you see in the background. The liner goes under all the trash like a giant trash bag liner that catches all that nasty stuff from seeping into the ground. It also catches the methane gases, used to fire up turbines that create energy for homes and businesss. Every landfill needs a liner before trash can be dumped.I worked at the Riverside County landfill at El Sobrante in California

People in Thailand would say you guys are doing it all wrong. In Thailand we have people that goes through every bit of trash on a conveyer belt and pick out anything that can be recycled. At first any metal will be caught by a very strong magnet and put in a pile. Next is the cardboard it goes in a pile. Glass is next and then plastic. As the trash goes down the line they will pick anything thar can be recycled, even food. The take food and anything else that can be composted will go to the shredder and come out in little tiny pieces and taken to an area for composting. That is my favorite place. Almost every day they can make a pile 10 feet high and 20 feet wide and 20 to 30 feet long. Each row will end up 100 feet long, then they start another one next to it and do the same thing. Every week they have a machine that turns the piles.they start at the oldest pile that is much smaller by now because it's composted down to great smiling compost. That is hauled off to be banged up and sold and the next pile will be turned onto that spot and so on until they get to the newest pile. After they turn it they start putting new stuff in its place. It's quite a neat process and I was very lucky to have seen it up close and personal. The U.S. could learn a thing or two by seeing how they do things in other countries.

[@chrisosti]

It would take an army of thousands to do what you're saying. The sheer amount of waste is amazing. You're talking a pile of trash probably 4 city blocks square and 6 to 8 feet HIGH! I worked at one about a quarter this size, and that was for one small counties' trash. One thing they really didn't stress in this video is that newer engineered landfills aren't designed to pile up the trash so that it dissolves away some day...that will never happen. New landfills are designed to encapsulate and contain the trash, catch and dispose of the leachate, and capture the methane gas for use. The hope is that one day we will have developed the technology to permanently dispose of the trash in some way...
