Glass decomposes in a landfill after how many years?
It doesn't. Glass is made from silica (sand), that has been melted. It doesn't decompose, only organic materials decompose, and some metals will oxidize (rust), but glass will be glass thousands of years from now. (unless it is ground down into sand again.)

Why doesn't trash decompose in a modern landfill?
The simple answer is that it does! Everything decomposes eventually. Unfortunately, many household, commercial and industrial waste products are made from materials that take an awfully long time to decompose; plastic for example. Some types of plastic can take up to 50,000 years to decompose fully! Other waste items such as tin foil can take upward of 100,000 years! Even with the (comparatively recent) advent of recycling, much of the waste that gets assigned to landfill is, indeed recyclable. This is partly because so many recycling plants are already operating at full capacity, or are governed by strict input / output quotients. Of course, despite what the governments of the world would have us believe, it is often cheaper to export waste to landfill sites abroad than it is to recycle it domestically.

Glass moves about one inch per century. It is actually a liquid, so it moves, but it is very dense and takes a long time to break down. So it will probably take at least five centuries to move it about five inches.
