"Highly Toxic Methane". The toxicity of Methane is actually fairly low. The main concern with methane is not its toxicity, but its green house properties. The vast majority of electronics and batteries are pulled out at waste management facilities for the exact reason that they contain lead and other toxic material. The garbage truck doesn't just go straight to the landfill after it's pick-up cycle. "Only some of the gas gets captured over the life of the landfill" Really, how much? 90%? 10%? This isn't really a very comprehensive video. If you're trying to understand actual landfill engineering, operations, risk management, and environmental impact, this video is probably not for you.
From what I've seen, the methane/carbon dioxide threat isn't the real disastrous issue with global warming. But everyone is only limited to what they know. The earth heat and cools naturally, so global warming isn't even a threat but an inevitability. According to the ice cores, the earth actually heats and cools before the amount of carbon dioxide changes in the atmosphere, and the rest of the physical world follows those changes, a domino effect. The cycle never ends or stands still. Panicking about global warming is futile, we need to learn how to manage ourselves as a species, and like the rest of the planet live symbiotically with our surroundings rather than parasitically taking what we want without giving back anything useful.
I want to know what happens to the leachate in the holding tanks. I have been told it burns off leaving some heavy metal ash, which may be added back into the land fill. Is that true?
Theres Several layers of HDPE between the trash and ground. There are several ways to find a leak on the top layers. The gas wells are regularly monitor and that goes for the ground water. If the cap, top layer of the landfill, is leaking and the vegetation dies. Between the layers of HDPE there are also layers of geocomposite that prevent the clogging of the pipes. This isnt informative its outrageous conclusions drawn from vague facts.
+Tony R. The landfills without layers of HDPE are outlawed and they cannot be considered regular. It's outlawed to steal also, but many people steal anyway!
I had been a landfill gas technician on numerous sites in the Phoenix metro area for five years. Don’t get me started on just what ridiculous sensationalism exists here! As a partial vacuum is applied to the capped landfills (with the landfill gas either flared off or used in various gas-to-energy projects) and with daily gas extraction well monitoring and quarterly surface emission monitoring, there is virtually NO odor! And any surface monitoring which shows more than 5ppm of “toxic” (🙄🤦🏻♂️) methane is addressed very quickly to remediate the issue! Five years on landfill gas sites, I was. Last time I checked, I’m still alive!!! 😆🤣
Household batteries are not recyclable and non toxic in landfills. By putting them in your recycle bin, you are only hampering the recycling process for real recyclables.
@@VLCBK Hi Vlad and Peter. Thanks for your response. I had a small box of used Duracell batteries and when I went to drop them off at the Broward County, FL electronics recycling center, I was told that today's batteries aren't recyclable and are made to be tossed in the garbage. Of course these were your typical AAA, AA, C, D, & 9V batteries. I know that car batteries are recyclable but not sure about UPS (battery back-up) or lithium ion types.
@@VLCBK Hi Vlad, perhaps you live in a different country with different rules, but here in the USA the Duracell battery and it's packaging printed warning states not to dispose of in fire, among other common sense use warnings. There is no mention of recycling or the recycling symbol on either the package or the battery itself. This is getting a bit silly, and I certainly believe if you live outside the USA the recycling rules may be different. I guess at this point we could research this matter on the Internet (after all, the Internet knows all things - HAHAHA). Nice chatting with you Vlad. 🙂
@@thomasshumate9561 Oh, the lake and rivers around here are gross, but still, it gets filtered and treated before it comes out of my faucet. So my worries are pretty limited about contaminants in the water.
then why are we are not seperating our,trash more,and get after the companies making tis to find how to recycle it back into new bottles or clean out old ones and reuse

Can't know one thing and not know the other my friend. #truth
Well at least you know more than info than you did before watching the video
That's how the landfill works.

This went from educational to scary very quickly

It's also flammable which if mishandled can make the landfill highly explosive

okay i just wanted to know how landfills work not an entire walle ceremony
thanks. this is very informative.
Uhhhh... how am I supposed to write this for my biology exam if we are all GOING TO DIE!!!!

It gets collected and sent to a treatment facility
"THINK ABOUT IT.
lol we're all going to be poisoned"
So glad landfills have been modernized.
Thinking is about how how you contribute or refuse to.
finally, an educational video that gets straight to the point and tells the blunt truth so we can help avoid the consequences.
Sure go live in the woods and don't buy anything. Thanks lol
Excellent video.

pretty cool 👍
I think this is the real definition of Knowledge is a curse
Very encouraging!
Is it mixed with anything, maybe with soil. Maybe that at a certain ratio of mixing would eleminate most of it,

this is more detailed on how it works,and also worrying

@@51hankyspanky7 They can be collected separately from other recyclables and recycled.
@@51hankyspanky7 im pretty sure batteries have a sign on them that says not to be thrown at the landfill

What about using duct tape?
Well... I don't get my water from a well, it's piped in through a filtration plant.
Where does the filtration plant get it?
@@thomasshumate9561 Either Lake Michigan or one of these rivers. I live in a nearby suburb of Chicago.

What do they do with that toxic liquid? Serious bummer video.
then why are we are not seperating our,trash more,and get after the companies making tis to find how to recycle it back into new bottles or clean out old ones and reuse
So as the human race what are we going to do about it?
prolly absolutly nothing lmao
Not only do we a garbage problem but the process of how we handle garbage is garbage.
Poison bomb
My fart smells like a landfill near me
So what's the point of this video? This doesn't tell me much of nothing on how it works.
what you trying to do? build your own? lmao
Don’t loose near these areas or recycle yards or junk yards guys u breath all that
This is very misleading- its not really an educational piece on the topic- its propaganda.
Several factual inaccuracies in this. Wonder who sponsors this info?
It's in the description for those of us who can read. Seriously?
So basically we bury our trash along with the dead
This is why I burn all my rubbish in my wood burning stove
I live on top of a landfill fml
Landfills won't go wrong in our life time so there's nothing we can do about it. Why worry.
Because future generations will suffer for them when they go wrong.
