Overflowing Landfill |
||||||
 |
||||||
 |
||||||
| An average city dweller may produce a ton of refuse in a year, a volume that rapidly overflows local dumps. Cities running out of space for landfill often turn to incinerating their waste or transporting it to other areas, although up to 90 percent of the material might have been recycled. | ||||||
