Spent about 5 hours during Earth Day cleaning up a trail that was once a landfill. Separating the metal and glass out to recycle, It kind of dawned on me that we were just moving some trash from one place to another, what I’m I missing?

It is complicated, but starting with the fact that modern landfills are constructed differently so things in the landfill don’t leak into the local water supply and pollute the whole area so they are safer than old landfills. In your case not everything was going into a new landfill as you say the glass and metal were being recycled so less would end up in the landfill.
