Talk to people who work at your local landfill. Can only speak to my local one, but several employees have said that the "recycling" that you turn in, gets dumped with everything else.
I've been thinking that some prospectors have a keen eye on old land fills for all sorts of valuables hidden in the pit. Mining up our old garbage just sounds kinda awesome like recycling what we never did.
Back in the late 70s / early 80s my favorite days were going to the dump with my dad. Back then it was drive in, find a spot to dump it and drive out. I used to find the coolest stuff (like tetanus, dysentery.. no just broken pinball machines, bowling pins (good wood for turning inside those, and yes my dad let me use his lathe when I was a kid), tons of bottle caps for my collection, even found a discarded old computer that had massive capacitors in it and learned about those and screwdrivers). While yes, it’s much much better now and I don’t think it would be wise to go back to those days just so some weird kid can have a good time.. it was still a good time and great memories.
Wow, before watching this video, I really thought that the trash monster that comes once a week simply just munched it down, digested it, and pooped out full-grown trees. My mind is blown, and I haven't even gotten past the part where he talks about thinking about trash.
Ahhhh I thought I was tripping balls or completely missing some hidden message. I was waiting for the conversation about floods to make their way to landfills
I dig victorian and edwardian dumps. I'm obsessed with landfills, and can't help thinking what will be the prized treasure of future bottle dump diggers. Ive found liquid mercury, human teeth, tudor pipe bowls, dog skeletons and allsorts more 😅
Hi all. For some reason, my subcription had disappeared. I have 1:40 re subbed now, but annoyed at the frequency notifications not coming in. Anyway, today, it's "landfall", I guess!! LOL Have a wonderful day. 😊
"Let's get into the globally accepted standard by which a landfill must operate." I have questions. Who established this standard? Who thinks they are going to enforce this particular standard? What are the enforcement mechanisms? And how does one rationalize this vis-a-vis national sovereignty? I understand Mr. Whistler is trying to describe an industry in the short span of 17 minutes, but national sovereignty must never be overlooked.
The last video wasn’t actually Landfill….it was Gill, Landfill’s twin brother. It taught him everything he knew about drinking beer…or was hurricanes? Ahh never mind I’m all mixed up
Encourage people to go watch Grady's Practical Engineering video of only a few weeks ago, in which he does into some detail over issues with landfills.
J'ai regardé cette vidéo et j'ai réalisé que notre histoire d'amour pourrait devenir une comédie si je commençais à enregistrer tous les moments drôles💖

Why is this video half the time of the first?
Where do I find a roundspace?
most anticipated Megaprojects video ever
Yes, we had a teaser title with a wrong upload 😂
I dunno, I kind of want to hear more about hurricanes.
Hey, the right one! Woohoo!
Damn I was hoping it wasn’t lol
🤣
I missed the other one, what happened?
Wait, where are the hurricanes??
Got it right this time. Good way to build my interest, Simon- I’ve been looking forward to this
Me three
Yes! The episode lost in the landfill has been found!
And it provides a good, balanced view of the issues. Well done guys.
I find the lack of hurricanes disturbing.
Never thought I'd be this eager to hear about landfill!
finally, the landfills we all deserved and waited for!!!
I watched the whole other video wondering when we were going to learn about landfills and what the hell hurricanes had to do with them.
I know 😂
I thought I had a mandala effect and the video was called Landfall and that's why is was about hurricanes.
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
Never have people been so excited about a landfill video!
wonderful...and here I was hoping for a topic as stunning as the weather. lol
Talk to people who work at your local landfill.
Can only speak to my local one, but several employees have said that the "recycling" that you turn in, gets dumped with everything else.
I live outside the city limits and my trash is collected by a private company. You can request a recycling bin but I've never seen anyone use one.
Garbage collectors and other sanitation workers deserve a lot more respect than they get. They're doing a huge and relentless service to society.
Agreed!
As a landfill worker and operator, this video is VERY well done and researched.
Good job, basement dwelling writers!
Oh oh rock me like a hurricane...
Oh it's the landfill one. 😝
💯
I love this comment section 🤣 every Simon mess up is made fun of… AS IT SHOULD, AM I RIGHT PETER!?!? 😂😂😂
I wish there was more information about tropical hurricanes though
Was waiting for this the title had me the other day
i was so confused watching the landfall (landfill) episode
Checks the title... "Is this your final answer?"
What the hell. Where's the hurricane?
16:43 "if you step outside your door and don't find yourself ankle deep in dead horses and human waste"
*laughs nervously in Indian*

Finally, it’s here!!
Cool I was excited to see this
Finally landfills!
Omg the REAL video finally dropped
A Megaprojects not about war! Wahoooo!!
Right channel right video. Nice.
I thought this would be about typhoons, the last "Landfill Video" was about hurricanes.🧐
Nice! They fixed it!
Your channel is not just a place for entertainment, it is a source of inspiration and wisdom. Thank you for your creativity and diligence!❤️😾💟
Leave it to spambots to leave the most idiotic comments

Aw I wanted to hear about hurricanes :(
2:54 the age of sanitation
6:46 modern landfill
science
11:32 are landfills sustainable
Finally the right video
Timestamp creators are heavenly bound....
Correct video this time!!
I appreciate that they are just not acknowledging the mistake they made haha
I just KNEW Practical Engineering will be mentioned in some shape or form given that recently Grady had an episode about landfills
curbside garbage in my area goes to sorting/recycling facilities before it goes to the landfill
Wow, before watching this video, I really thought that the trash monster that comes once a week simply just munched it down, digested it, and pooped out full-grown trees. My mind is blown, and I haven't even gotten past the part where he talks about thinking about trash.
Finally!
The correct video has finally blown in.
Well, that was well worth the wait / waste.
"How landfills work"
Fixed that for you.
L met a man that work in a chalk mine for 20 years and when the mine close he got a job on bin lorry and spent next 20 years refilled the pit he dug
Cue lion king clip of 'the circle of life' 😁
If there's a hole, might as well fill it with something I suppose.
Ahhhh I thought I was tripping balls or completely missing some hidden message. I was waiting for the conversation about floods to make their way to landfills
Sweet, the video matches the title and thumbnail this time! Weirdly it makes me more interested in this now lol
Great. I can watch the real video. Cheers.
Before i watch ;
Is it the correct upload or title this time? 😅
Another hurricane video?
I dig victorian and edwardian dumps. I'm obsessed with landfills, and can't help thinking what will be the prized treasure of future bottle dump diggers.
Ive found liquid mercury, human teeth, tudor pipe bowls, dog skeletons and allsorts more 😅
Landfill Jeremy, the fifth named landfill of the season, is expected to make landfall in Florida anytime soon.
As an environmental engineer, thanks for this video. ❤
Yay the actual video 😂

been waiting for ts to drop since it got leaked
I was very confused last time. I was like...does he mean landfalls?"
Wow this video was garbage! Thank you, very interesting. Love hearing more about behind the scenes of everyday things
Oh my god! It’s not about some random thing I didn’t want to watch this time 😂😂
The last video wasn’t actually Landfill….it was Gill, Landfill’s twin brother. It taught him everything he knew about drinking beer…or was hurricanes? Ahh never mind I’m all mixed up
Deja vu
(Correctly Titled)
Finally!!! Yay! 😁

Smell 🎉
Actually the correct video !:-)
Someone in the basement got a beating for the hurricane mixup 😢
“The past was the worst!”
Woo we can learn now lol
J'ai regardé cette vidéo et j'ai réalisé que notre histoire d'amour pourrait devenir une comédie si je commençais à enregistrer tous les moments drôles💖
*plays music* Getting the right video uploaded with fact boi
🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉 info about landfill we want😅
Maybe it would be worth mentioning that older landfills are nor made like they explained and are ticking timebombs
Now this seems like it's right
12:53 I hate to break it to you, but 1987 is closer to four decades than two...
Did Simon finally find thus episode in a landfill???????
aww I wanted to learn about hurricanes
Like two landfils in a hurricane...
Landfills make me think of idiocracy and the garbage avalanches.
Next up: HOW RECYCLING (DOSEN'T) WORK: There's way less going on here than you think
And with tears in their eyes they sailed off looking for a place to take their half a ton of garbage.
I really wish that all of your channels were like brain blaze
That mistake was only up for 2 or 3 days!
Yaaay 🎉
This is a wonderfull Helen hurricane video
Oh yay the title matches the video now! 😅
I was expecting another video on hurricanes 🤪🤪🤪🤪🤪
Wait what? I was expecting Hurricanes!
No hurricane edition? ;p
I was looking for a hurricane video 🤔
FINALLY THE RIGHT ONE HE WAS JUST COCKTEASING UP BEFORE WOOOIO
This is not the storm video I remember lol
Did they get it right this time?
No 3rd video about Helene? Bummer.
Hey wait a minute, why is there no mention of hurricanes?
Paris still has a reputation for being filthy.
But how do hurricanes tie in to it?
I was wondering if Practical Engineering would appear here.
this one is actually about landfills?
