The amount of trash we (Americans) produce is insane. I don’t get how it actually all gets disposed of. I live in a less populated area but when I see all the trash set out each week in my neighborhood, I feel like it would fill up an entire trash truck. There are tons of neighborhoods around ours that are even bigger. Where tf does all the trash go. My mind explodes when I think of massive cities like NY. I just feel like more trash gets produced than can be disposed of. This is one of the things that makes me believe we live in a simulation 😂

We have a lot of empty space to work with. We stick it in landfills, when necessary we cover them up and open another one. Many times we turn the covered landfill into a golf course.
We are really good at using debris. All of the land from Michigan Avenue to Lake Michigan is made up of burned refuse from the Great Chicago Fire.
