Some of it rots, and then it is compacted further by the weight of machinery or the weight of junk above it

Some stuff becomes brittle or otherwise crushes down into smaller parts of itself

Some stuff gets eaten, some of it dissolved and hopefully doesn’t leech into the surrounding soils

Then once it’s full of things that won’t condense down any more it just stays there and they dig another one somewhere else
