What actually happens after your trash gets picked up from your driveway and what effect does that have on the environment?

"For now, though, we have landfills, and separate bins for what goes there versus what goes to recycling facilities. The more people can help keep those streams separated, the better these projects to turn trash into something useful will function, and the lower the risks will be. Modern technology and a focus on climate solutions have created an opportunity for waste to be less wasteful."

A new billion-dollar project aims to capture flammable methane released by landfills and turn it into renewable energy. But are there safety concerns?
