The problem with landfills, is that without oxygen to create the oxidation process, the trash just stays the same. It never degrades. They did an anthropological study out of some college in NY, and they went to the landfill to look at trash from different decades, and when they got to the trash from the 50's the newspapers were still in good enough shape to read. Someone then posed the question "Why hasn't this degraded". It was realized that landfills compact the trash continually. This forces out most of the voids containing air. The landfills wouldn't make money if they let the trash sit there without compression. Thus, nothing degrades at the rate we learned about in school. This why compost piles have to be turned. We don't do that at our landfills. I personally am a fan of burning the majority of the trash to generate electricity. and recycling the remaining materials.

I know we have one of these plants about 50 miles away, that profits for the county by selling electricity that it produces. The trash is separated before it goes to the furnace. The then filter the exhaust through scrubbers in a tall stack, and have very few emissions. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
