If landfills are not such a problem, why "developed" countries (I won't name them but we know who they are) are exporting junk to China, India and Africa? Why simply not set landfills near popular cities so we can all enjoy the beauty of "low environmental issue" problems ;)
These days there is more trust in corrupted media than plain logic.
And those developed countries were willing to sell it.
And yes those developed countries do in fact have landfills and they use them. there are no countries that export pure trash to be landfilled in a third world country.
Of course they do.
Even Toronto was exporting 100 truckloads of trash to Michigan for years until recently.

Michigan, perhaps you might have noticed, borders Canada. No one is shipping trash long distance.
Here the landfill has recycling sorting on site and puts glass in the landfill because no one will pay what it costs to ship it.
