Modern landfills have no oxygen due to the way the garbage is packed very tightly and covered with lots of dirt. No oxygen=no decomp. The local university here did an “archeological dig” in a landfill here and came up with hot dogs and stuff from the 80s.
In Tennessee they are filtered through water. We have water. The Appalachians drain something fierce over time. Those white sandy beaches on the panhandle came from the Eastern Mountains.
I don’t believe for one second that a college professor found meat from the 1980s in a landfill..maybe fragments like one would a corpse..barely left
but not a wiener
consider the source..college proff...probably environmental studies that sort of thing
if landfills are not decomposing then pray tell why the methane burnoff firepoles on all of them up day and night flaming
