Would it be possible to reduce the amount of waste going to landfill?
Yes, you need to compost organic vegetable waste, and recycle all metal, glass, paper and plastic. This should leave very little waste to go into landfill. You could also sort out all the unnecessary packaging that shops wrap things in and take this back to the shop and hand it back to them (do this firmly but politely), if enough people did this (leaving them the problem of what to do with all the waste in their shops) they would of necessity begin to address the packaging waste issue. It is easier to eliminate waste at source than at the end of the chain.
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.
Why should you care about composting plant waste?
Because that which returns to the earth is not wasted. The more you compost, the less you add to the landfill. Even if you have no use for the compost, there are a lot of people who will gladly take it off your hands.

Who plays landfill tax?
Landfills are often funded through a combination of methods. They are usually supported first by use taxes. Use taxes are simply paying for direct use of the service. People and businesses who take refuse to the landfill will pay for the benefit of dumping in the landfill. in addition, homeowners are often times charged a landfill or trash collection fee for the services of picking up trash and the trash being taken to the landfill. These use taxes often times will not fully fund the cost of building and operating the landfill so the local government that operates the landfill will make up any difference from taxes in their general fund.
