Landfills absolutely are an ecological nightmare in some parts of the world, and much of it is trash that was shipped in from elsewhere. That your local landfill doesn’t bother you does not mean your trash won’t end up leaching toxic chemicals in to the waterways of people in some far off land.

It'll likely become more of an issue for people numb to the point as these places refuse more and more of our refuse.

I don't put toxic chemicals in my trash though, so there's that.

You absolutely do though, that's the point.

You think that the e-waste you sent to recycling doesn't end up in trash, but you only have to look at places like Agbogbloshie, Accra, Ghana to see where some supposedly reputable recycling ends up.
