There is far more landfill space than you can possibly imagine.

A couple years ago some one did a layout of needed land fill/dump area and it actually was extremely small in comparison to available space. Seems like some folks think we could fill the Grand Canyon in a few weeks. We can't. 🙀👍🏼👹

I am sure there is plenty of landfill space in NV, WY, SD, ND, MT, KS, TX, etc.

Not too cost effective to truck trash from NYC, Hartford, CT or NH to these places. Therefore, we are limited to where our trash can be disposed of within a reasonable distance from where it is collected.

There maybe less demand for things like newsprint going forward. There is only so much bonded cellulose insulation being produced. I believe it is also used for hydroseeding products. If there is no demand for a commodity then it should not be recycled.

1. Consider our Interstate system. We deliberately laid down a zillion miles of toxic petroleum asphalt. This is ground already turned into environmental waste. No consider the space between the two strips of asphalt. This median area is a potential zillion miles of dumping space for garbage. Add some dirt. Top with trees.

2. Consider the Grand Canyon. Suppose evil man created this canyon and not the Colorado river. This would be considered the ugliest place on earth, if it was believed that man dug the hole. So let’s fill that sucker in with garbage, then top it with dirt and plant some trees.
