If you've never been to a landfill, this pretty much sums it up....smelly mud, and cute-fuzzy-stuffed-animal death.
This place is hell. My landfill receipts now total close to 25,000 lbs of toxic rubble (mostly lead painted plaster and siding, and asbestos siding). They know me by name at the weight station.
Way to go humans. Lets keep manufacturing toxic, non-biodegradable materials that have to be disposed of in a giant toxic smelly hole in the ground to pollute our drinking water for eternity.
It occurred to me while I was there that this mountaintop was once an ancient forest.
By the way, that big complicated machine (which looks much bigger when it's plowing a fresh mountain of trash directly AT you!) has a very simple purpose - It drives back and forth, back and forth over the trash mountain all day long, compacting it with enormous studded steel wheels. We call it the "trasher masher".
