I just realized that I have no idea where my garbage goes right now.

In my hometown it used to go to a dump about 5 miles north of town, but they got into trouble with the EPA and now all of the garbage needs to be hauled to another town, 40 miles away, for sorting. Yikes.

Unfortunately to a landfill north of here.

It goes to a transfer facility in North Las Vegas, and Then to the Apex landfill 20 miles or so North of Las Vegas. If I recycle it, it goes to the Transfer facility gets bundled up and shipped to whoever will take it. I suspect that no one takes it unless it has some value, so I imagine much of it goes to Apex eventually even though it should be recycled.

All the garbage goes to a collection center at the southern edge of the City. More than half is recycled, the rest goes to a landfill there or another, by truck, south in Mountain View.

My garbage goes to a landfill approximately 3 1/2 miles from my home.

I take my trash to a local dump site that is a transfer station. It is dumped into big containers that are trucked to the transfer station in Helena. Then that trash is trucked to Great Falls, Montana. There is an old landfill that has been turned into a soccer field. It has lots of pressure release sites due to the concern over the build up of methane gas--even the YMCA is built on the old landfill and has special pressure monitors. I also recycle at the transfer station and other sites around Helena.

Raleigh = North Wake Landfill
Durham = Shipped to Mecklenburg County, Va.

Lowery Landfill.

It's divided into three:

Yard waste (grass clippings, etc.) go somewhere to get mulched.

Recycleables go to the recycling center.

The rest of it goes to the county landfill.

Sadly most goes to landfill. There is some recycling of paper, glass, steel, aluminium and a few plastics.

Insider information:
Some years ago, I was working for a company that decided to build a recycling center. It was a multi-million pound project with: crushers and graders for processing building rubble; linea accelerators to separate metals; settling and filteration tanks for oil and chemical contaminated water.
You might think that local council, government and our Environment Agency would support such a venture.
This was not the case, a vicious cycle of beauracracy, moving goalposts, restrictions and additional charges, nearly forced the center to close. No longer economically viable, it was sold at a massive loss.

Why aren't landfills and dumps put on maps?

It gets buried in a sealed landfill. The recycling center is near there as is the water treatment plant. Someday, it might be a park.

Town landfill...

To a local garbage dump which is visible from here if you stand on the right part of the hill.

Ask your garbage disposal people.

Non-recyclables go to land fill not far from town. Green waste is processed for mulch and the like. The garbage collection serive takes care of recyclables.

In Bayonne it used to go right to the dump. In Paterson, it now gets processed to Pennsylvania, to an old coal mine I think.

Waste Management has our contract, likely that's how I'd confirm it.

Land fills. Which Consist of large hills of composting junk.
