Some of you fellas back east probly know some answers. I've heard horror stories about big landfills being opened under obscure names and such, then abandoned when they're full and the locals get left to deal with it. Around here some garbage gets hauled a couple hundred miles. Ogallala NE gets garbage from Wall SoDak. That's a long haul. I've heard garbage gets hauled out of the big city on railroad cars.

Built pits for scales and a scale house at a dump just outside of North Little Rock several years ago. They used the methane off the dump to operate their facilities.

I met a guy from Minnesota that did that. Takes a mighty big landfill to make it work though. Cliff Meussen or something like that. He also owns ethanol plants.

Eventually everything winds up in the ocean. I've heard that, and it's sick. How disgusting.

A lot of our landfills here are closed and capped off , methane is harvested from them now.
Some of the trash is sent to a incinerator to be burned for energy. There is also a place that separates recyclable stuff and burnable stuff , then there is stuff that is loaded onto rail cars to destinations unknown. I would not doubt some of it gets sent out on barges to be dumped at sea. Don't know where it ends up however.

Eventually everything winds up in the ocean. I’m quite sure that isn’t true. At least in the US. Maybe it is true for Canada.

Twenty Years ago the State of New York wanted to open up a big landfill east of Lake Ontario on the Tughill Plateau Aquifer.
Local people fought it for years but It got approved anyway.
90% of the garbage comes from New York City trucked in.
Now the Landfill is full and they built a 2nd one besides it.
It is already taking garbage and you guessed it.
All of it is from New York City.
Bad deal for the rural residents around here.

The day will come, and not too long from now, when all those landfills will be mined for the "waste" resources buried in them.
