What happens to trash that is not recycled?
It is put in a landfill site and slowly it bio-degrades into the earth
Where does the trash go that you throw away each day?
In the UK we now recycle much of it. We have separate bins for recycleable stuff (paper, glass, metal, card, garden (backyard) waste and so on) and one for non-recycleable waste. There are two lorries that collect on the same day - one for recycleables and the other for the other stuff. Recycleable stuff is sorted and recycled - paper is pulped and turned into toilet roll, packaging and so on. Metal cans can be melted down and turned into all sorts of metal gooods. Garden waste is turned into compost. Glass is melted down and turned into new bottles. Non-recycleable stuff is disposed of in two main ways. In the UK some of it is burned in special incinerators and the heat turned into energy for heating or electricity. The rest is buried in the ground in 'landfill' sites where it can rot naturally over time. When the landfill site is full it is earthed over, grassed over and returned to farmland.
What happens to your garbage?
Most garbage around the world ends up in landfill. In different places it is:Allowed to contaminate the neighbouring soil and waterHeld in secure landfill where it cannot leak into the surrounding land or water tableJust burnt, sometimes with emission filtering or capture, sometimes notBurnt as biomass (to generate electricity)Used to generate methane as a biofuel (for heating, industry or electricity generation)Sorted for recyclables first which are then separated from the garbageOpen to the public who can search for recyclables and reusablesUsed by landfill owners or local authorities as a second-hand shop, where items are salvaged and offered for saleA:Trash builds up and keeps building up in a land fill. Some of the trash biodegrades (or disintegrates) but trash like plastic does not. Instead, the plastic biodegrades after many years into the chemical wastes it is made of, like oil. Trash that people lazily throw into sewers eventually end up in our ocean and rivers polluting our waterways and potentially killing ocean life. A:All the waste that is not recycled is dumped in a landfill site. This is where they dig huge holes and dump the waste. When the hole is full they cover the top and leave it to disintegrate (which in fact takes over 1000 years). Tragic!
