    garbage truck compacting isn’t really that much, check out what it looks like when they dump it. lots of stuff doesn’t get exposed.

    The drive would have been fed to the incinerator where I live. We don’t use a dump, we have a huge waste to power transfer station.

      Compacting at a landfill however ….

      Dumped out of the truck into probably another sorting area where machinery pushes through it potentially prying out large salvage pieces for scrap, or destructively breaking it apart by driving through and over it.

      Over, and over, and over, and over.
