57.50% - A modern engineered landfill is managed, monitored, and far better than the poorly run facilities from 50 years ago that gave landfills their bad reputation.
22.50% - Accepting glass, wet cardboard, and mixed plastics together guarantees contamination that renders the whole batch landfill-bound — these programs are structured to fail.
20.00% - Stockholm heats a quarter million homes on waste incineration; Japan has hundreds of plants operating safely near residential neighborhoods — we built a few in the 1970s and then dumped in landfills ever since.
Modern engineered landfills are cost-effective, safe, and environmentally responsible.

9.26% - We built curbside recycling because it made people feel good — when China stopped buying contaminated recyclables in 2018, most went straight to landfill. The virtue signal was real; the environmental impact was not.
9.26% - Most cities lose money on recycling programs — materials are contaminated, trucks burn diesel, sorting costs millions; the economics have never worked.
