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 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
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 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.
@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.
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.
How I wish this is also being practiced in our country. The best part of it is that the landfill is being restored after how many years so it doesn't ruin forever, plants can grow and the environment is protected.
See this is why people are stupid we create a landfill to get rid of shit then dig it back up cuz we realise it might actually be useful I mean I know somebody will disagree with me but that's just humans in a nutshell stupid.
Landfills have changed for the better. Where I grew up in the 1980's our town had a landfill and you had to bring your own trash to be buried. It was a couple of grumpy guys with a loader and bulldozer. There were no liners, etc. Just a hole.
Find a new location. If you mean earth’s ALL landfills? That’ll probably be impossible since earth is big, but i hope we find a new planet prior to then.
they become golf courses lol or condos or new homes then when EL Nino hits all the homes get washed away thats why never buy a home on a hill or cliff or next to the beach or railroad
This is great but no matter how green we try to be, the more waste we produce the more natural resources we waste and deplete our earth of. I wish people and these big corporations would quit being so wasteful and quit producing so much unnecessary garbage.
Right now I have about 10 vacuum cleaners salvaged from our apartment dumpsters sitting in my unit. I like to make vacuum videos before I get rid of them. But my iPhone camera is on the fritz. What I don't keep or give to friends and family, I give to my local Goodwill, which accepts small appliance e-waste for no charge. If I had kept everything I found, I would easily be worthy of an episode of "The Hoarders."
What happens when the base layer rips? It slowly leaks into the water supply for years without anyone knowing. We need to burn our trash into ash and electricity, and or launch it into the sun! Haha
In Arizona it's much different how the trash is treated Hear everything goes to the trash landfield They don't separate it echoes directly to the field you put in garbage can a good loss to the manfield They say if you can put it in the garbage can it's fine with us goes to the field we'll be crushed Into almost paper like
I intentionally searched this after watching dumpster diving videos. It made me sick to my stomach all the shit that department stores and Amazon throw away instead of donating. It made me curious where all the garbage goes. I still would like to know how appliances are recycled. Did I miss it in this video?
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.
We give them our green waste from our yard so they can shred it up into bits & then compost it into beautiful mulch for our garden But We must PAY THEM MONEY TO BUY IT BACK OFF THEM.
I deal with garbage daily at my job. The amount of garbage we produce is astounding. They are forced to incinerate garbage at times. Well yeah no real good way of getting rid of it all.
I wonder what happens to all of the water and potable liquids that go into the garbage. I like to think that crushed garbage allows for such liquids to be treated at the water facilities. It is disturbing to think that our bottled-water revolution would allow aquifers to shrink and dry up.
waste management is arguably the most important thing in society, next to clean running water. It's something that's taken for granted.
Corporations are creating all this waste, not the people. They need to be charged with the responsibility of this stuff is theirs ; ) K
Every human being creates waste.

Based on this video landfills do not seem as bad as I previously thought. Thank you for putting this together
Yes but still keep ur waste as low as possible, reuse , recycle , repurpose!!!
It's all bullshit. This is propaganda.
This is just one place in North America. Not every country has this...
@@onemorething100 It's not propaganda... Its called "Marketing". For the Miramir company in San Diego. Good marketing, too.
@@lullsbaby9321 Miramar is a place in San Diego, not a company. This is a municipal landfill, which means that is owned and operated by the city.
Thanks for making such ton of information available for the public.

I do trash run at the hospital. It’s interesting to see whare the hospital trash gets transported too in a compactor
I suppose upbeat music and an enthusiastic voiceover can make anything sound good.
Yep. Corporate propaganda

Been wanting to know for a while now where all the trash goes!! Thanks
I wish Indiana would get more serious about recycling and helping our planet but it seems that my state doesn't care.
I wish soo
Fuck those shitheads
Recycling has a net zero gain with resources in the total scope.
@@sergeantspeed5941 are you trying to argue against it? It makes more net jobs.
Please ask your leaders to join other states!
dont know why i ended up here, but this video made me happy
This is awesome, love from your neighbor in Los Angeles.
I needed this today.
I love San Diego
Who are disliking this video they are idiot's because this work is the best for earth
If I knew about this when I was stationed in California, I would have tried to get a job working at a landfill right after I got out.

Landfills exist because they generate a fortune for Big Waste corporations.
That is pretty impressive! Also free compost/ mulch nice!
God bless America
Yes, because America is the only country that recycles and has landfills. The rest of us lie in our own filth
I have an assignment on this. Thanks!
Same!
I didnt know about land fills after i saw the video it helped me thanks for uploding

Wonderful Documentary
This makes me want a landfill now
I hear Costco might start carrying them
TH-cam: “wanna learn about the inner workings of a landfill?”
Me: “Hell yes I do!” 😁
Woah this is awesome
So when can we start to mine this landfill for resources?
They're doing it in the EU, and at Sparks NV landfill near Tesla Gigafactory, fascinating stuff. And plastic being turned into jet fuel.
See this is why people are stupid we create a landfill to get rid of shit then dig it back up cuz we realise it might actually be useful I mean I know somebody will disagree with me but that's just humans in a nutshell stupid.
@@callumbmx9763 Yeah I think landfilling stuff is the stupidest laziest way. I would love to mine an old landfill personally. Lots of good resources.
@@mysterybuyer3738 I'm no expert on landfills but there's probably some stuff of value down there if you enjoy doing that than go for it!
So let me get this straight; my trash is powering my house basically. Freaking cool!
Kinda not really . Wish it worked like that
Otherwise the methane from things that should have been recycled and composted would ruin our climate.
@@Nicholas-f5 Please tell me you were joking.
no china is powering our homes middles east is gassing up our cars gas prices are out of control almost 5 bucks here on west coast

Good 👍 job
What happens in the landfill stays in the landfill
Mostly the bodies
i liked it
Actually an excellent process and video. Thanks.
On a serious note: what exactly happens when all of Earth’s landfills reach capacity?
Find a new location. If you mean earth’s ALL landfills? That’ll probably be impossible since earth is big, but i hope we find a new planet prior to then.
@@Wow_wow1 Earth is quite large. What percent of Earth’s surface could we use as landfill until we are maxed out iyo?
@@dmitriresnais4579 although Earth is big it's NOT infinite, therefore it 100% has it's limit capacity.

i worked at goodwill have the stuff that come in gets thrown away like clothes old toys ive seen get tossed
started as an educational video, yes it educated me but in a better way
In my opinion the should recycle everything
Imagine if everybody did their part we wouldn't need so many landfills.
JESUS bless the city workers! 🙏🏾🙌🏾✝️‼️
80% of waste can be recycled and composted! It saves our taxes too.

That’s funny to see myself in this. 40 lbs lighter I might add!! Lol!
Hi
Is throwing an old microwave in the trash goo enough? Or is it considered an appliance and can take it to the facility?
Dumb question but do they have classes for this type of job field?
So the waste is compacted as tightly as possible, then covered? Thats it? Buried? Hm.
Very nice
In Arizona it's much different how the trash is treated
Hear everything goes to the trash landfield They don't separate it echoes directly to the field you put in garbage can a good loss to the manfield

So you recycle plants to I finished trimming a pine brush and threw in a picknup to be burned what good comes from recycle branches from a tree?
Detroit needs a tire recycling plant which would create better paying-jobs?
You stil have problems later on.
When is this coming to my city....we have waste all over spread out
Why am I here?
Cause u want to know
Cuz you want your land filled.

That's because it's profitable. Landfills are operated by Big Waste corporations.
