What goes into modern landfills is shredded first, sorted, then buried with a bacteria that can decompose the material.

Perhaps in our better-run places. Having observed this work first-hand where I live (Middle Tennessee/aka Middle Erf) only large bulky stuff got sorted out while the rest was squished down with dozers, then a layer of treated earth over that before the next layer.

The complex is surrounded with "treatment towers" that spray a fine mist of antibacterial deodorizer that everyone has no option but to breathe while there.

So there's food refuse mixed with lumber mixed with broken toys mixed with soiled diapers mixed with defunct electronics...all squished down for future archeologists to ooh and ah over.
