Oh Where, Oh Where Has My Garbage Gone?
Have you ever thought about where your garbage goes? It doesn't just disappear like in magic shows! Most garbage winds up in sanitary landfills, or it is burned or recycled. Not so long ago trash was taken to the city dump. Peeeuuuw! Those open dumps were pretty smelly and were home to insects, rats and other disease-carrying critters. Open dumps were also fire hazards. Even worse, they  allowed leachate to seep into the underground water supply. Move the cursor over the mouse and garbage to find out about leachate.
