And the ground is ruined for maybe forever. Stuff leaks into groundwater which could effect lives around it. You have lots to be proud of.
Thank you....
Today’s landfills in the USA are probably the safest place to put trash. Triple lined, etc.
I used to recycle my old computers and such until I saw the photos coming out of China where they get “recycled”. Mom and dad taking them apart, little kids crouched down working on the smaller parts.
Burning the insulation off, melting down the circuit boards - black smoke in their faces. And all the crap that got dumped in the ditch with the ditch water 5 feet from their shacks.
I figure the safest place for my electronics is in a local, modern landfill rather than getting shipped half way around the world where China can pollute the environment.
