I don't disagree with the point that the OP is trying to make, but most modern landfills are lined to prevent groundwater contamination, so the quote is a bit disingenuous....

The problem is with heavy metal contamination the landfill leachate falls into the hazardous waste category and is more difficult and expensive to treat. Otherwise the leachate can be treated very cheaply at the local wastewater treatment plant.

Even with the bestest liners and fanciest engineering, how long can a landfill last? 50 years after capping? 100 years? Eventually the bill comes due.

There is no room for this here. You are supposed to see California, get triggered, and abandon reason.

Thx.
