97% Owned: https://youtu.be/HLgwe63QyU4
The world is running out of space when it comes to a home for our trash, and nowhere is this more true than the US, where thousands of their landfill sites are reaching capacity. In the US alone, a colossal 268 million tons of garbage is thrown out every year, which makes up 12% of the planet’s waste. And it’s growing. So where does it all go?
In the hills of Orange County California is the 9th largest landfill site in the U.S – the Frank R Bowerman Landfill. It’s part of an elite gang of the biggest sites in the country dubbed ‘The Million Ton Club’, due to the epic amount of waste it receives every year.
As many as 750 trucks queue up to deliver thousands of tonnes every day. And it’s not as simple as just dumping it all in the ground. In this documentary, we join the army of people at the site using cutting edge technology from drones to dozens of Mega tonne machines to make it all disappear.
And the stakes are high – for the business as well as the environment, as this site can rake in $70,000,000 million dollars a year. Secrets of Mega Landfill will take viewers behind the scenes to see how one colossal site is tackling the war on waste on an unimaginable scale.

The only things not going to landfill or recycle is what's in your grave !
“The company makes a staggering 250k per day” ….their ppe is a hard hat and a yellow tshirt
I work at a landfill (not gonna say the name), and I too have to check for stuff as a traffic director. But the best thing about it, is that I get a lot of free stuff that is still valuable. I always ask myself, why do people throw away very good stuff that's worth keeping still. No seriously, what I do at the landfill, directing traffic and checking for unwanted items that's not allowed is what I love to do.
What are the two clowns wearing hardhats operating a drone
It's really nice how developed countries get rid of their trash. Undeveloped countries on the other hand, it's a Disaster, and that also goes for sewage waste
This will be the first to go artificial intelligence sorry stinky workers

That Y32 though
there is no way those are 579 hp. that’s a fbo gt
Trash inspector would be a horrible job. Boring a.f.
I would just leave the electronics
The average car makes around 200hp. Idk when you got those numbers but they are way off. Those dozers make just over double the hp.
5:30 Each person is responsible for one ton of garbage per year? That’s about 5.5lbs per day. Seems high. But maybe if you include commercial waste as well.
