Organic materials, such as food scraps and yard waste, tend to break down fastest in a landfill due to their biodegradable nature. Paper products also decompose relatively quickly, especially if they are not heavily treated or coated. In contrast, plastics and metals can take hundreds to thousands of years to break down, making them far less environmentally friendly when disposed of in landfills. The presence of moisture and oxygen can further accelerate the decomposition process for organic materials.

If you are talking about aluminum foil, it takes a very long time. Aluminum is already in its elemental form, so there is no 'compound' to break down.

So, an aluminum foil that is buried in a dump would last longer than our lifetimes.
