I still dont understand the problem. Why put household trash directly on landfills ?
Just incinerate in modern powerplants.
Sure there will still be some rather nasty dry ash of it.. That needs to be burried safely

Believe this or not they are still 'discussing' doing that here , how crazy can you get they can't figure out if we should burn the rubbish to make power but they burn coal instead. Our landfills are filling quickly soon there will be nowhere to put our waste . Maybe they will dump it in the oceans like other countries do.
Missleading chart..
Mrleading chart.
That is tons per capita.
Why is American so hard to master ?? Lol
All across the state, Californians are working to keep waste out of landfills. And California led the nation in 2013 by diverting an estimated 65 percent of its trash away from landfills. That means about 60 million tons of trash ended up being made into higher-value products, consuming fewer natural resources and reducing harmful greenhouse gas emissions from the manufacturing process. In the years ahead, Californians will be asked to do even more to help meet a new statewide recycling goal: diverting 75 percent of our waste from landfills by 2020
This raises some questions about the chart.
60/.65 = 92.3 so California produces 92.3 million tons of trash a year.
That is about 3 tons/person.
It could be business related trash also,^^ , it doesnt correspond to what they claim
