  • In the US, we are so fortunate to have a robust waste management system. <\/li>\n\n\n\n
  • Trash tossed in any can makes its way to dumpsters which are picked up by large trucks.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  • When full, these trucks take the waste to a giant hole called a LANDFILL<\/strong>.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  • When full, the landfill is covered with dirt. Because some of the trash will decompose the area is too unstable to build structures, but can be turned into parks or golf courses.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n
