Haha I was a binman and we dumped there! Our truck was Broken so to tip it out one of us (crew of three) had to get out and go round the back to manually activate the tipper function. I'll never forget the feeling of walking over the rubbish. Fun fact, if we needed to go toilet we had to climb in the back of the truck to do our business. I'm so glad I got out of that line of work. I worked for Wellingborough council at the time.
I'm in the USA, and in an affluent area and a college town. The rubbish people throw out is very clean and consists of many perfectly useable things. I feel sad when I see still working electric things, in the rubbish, like stereos and portable units, toasters, clean clothing and bedding. If I get to the trash barrels before it rains,....I have pulled out amazing finds. Computer stereos, clean bins in every size, some clothing like coats & hats,....household tools and dishes, platters,..glassware,...clean clothing.
2:20-21 - some recyclables fell out of a bag. Probably because some goof put a recyclables bag in general waste. Or because some municipal goof couldn't make the distinction during pick-ups.
I am studying environmental science at the open university, would it be OK to use parts of this film in my study and a film I am making myself, if I credit everyone involved, many thanks Terry
Thank you for the short presentation of your landfill site. It was an eye opener. I'm a waste management enthusiast in South Africa. Wish to learn moe about waste management process especially separation from source. What social programmes you may have to assist with this
I agree, I am a waste management enthusiast too. It's a subject which has slowly become more and more interesting to me. Currently I am studying a masters and I am looking at food waste. If you are intersted in reaching out to this company look their website up and send them an email. They probably won't answer this video.
These are great shots! I am currently working on a short student film about the Zero Waste movement as was wondering if it might be possible to use a couple of your shots? We will of course credit you. Please let me know what you think, many thanks
@@lalamunns it definetely isnt right. But I wouldnt say worried. We as humans are still in the caveman age of trash disposal. Give it time and you'll see more and more alternatives come about. Kind of like a telegraph to a cell phone
Important when recycling to think about the generation of waste and reduce it starting with engineering, designing and creating less landfills, keep in mind the future of generations to come and environmental sustainability to ensure the protection of our environment.
Landfill is great for our planet. It provides millions of years of food the soil microbes to break down & eat. Save the planet - more Landfill sites for our soil Microbes...
That's because the government charges a very expensive landfill tax for every ton of waste that is sent to landfill. In addition, councils face fines on top of the landfill tax if they landfill too much readily biodegradable waste e.g. food or garden waste. This is to encourage councils to ensure that more of their waste is recycled.
Unless you live a no-waste life and do not use any sort of disposable packaging and waste services, you are also contributing to this. It's easy to say this is crime from the comfort of your home, where you simply throw something into a bin, and watch it disappear into the horizon.

Or because recycling is a waste of time.

"Did you spot the jeans someone has thrown out?"
Had to watch that clip again a couple of times before I did!
Be honest, you started viewing landfills differently after toy story 3 and were horrified at what you saw
no
Nope - more like Wall E.
is the landfill still open

Social programmes to assist with waste management ? How about birth control. Or is that totally not the point ?

Natalie Munro if its using it for analysis (not commercial purposes) i dont think you need to ask.
Zero waste you must be joking
All of the worlds trash could be put on 50000 acres. The media makes it seem like landfills will be around every corner

Horrible thought a lot of that shit would be an archeological find one day! Lol
How much of the trash is actually eaten?
Better ways to reduce waste? Repair and share.
Fuck the throwaway culture! I'm officially not part of it! The bin is for rubbish!
A behind the scenes video of City Hall in Winnipeg Manitoba. Very good video indeed.
Metal and glass may never break down at all.
Metal and glass will break down. The problem is plastic.
Landfill site's are expensive to tip a tun.

Rubber also does not biodegrade easily.

The awful lot of plastic there is why I don't support the incineration of general household rubbish.
Lots and lots of rubbish 😂
