How is the leachate treated? That must be a mix of lots of (unknown) bad stuff.

Isn't the main problem that landfills aren't sustainable? Burning is bad for CO2 in the atomsphere, but it frees up de-bonds matter so they can be taken up again.

I mean landfills are burying useful matter. Stuff doesn't really rot it just sits there.

I'm not sure how the leachate was treated. At the end of the day the cap was supposed to keep the water out, so when closed there wouldn't be much more leachate.
