Every day millions and millions of tons of trash get dumped into local landfills across America. Not everything that goes into the landfills is biodegradable, meaning it will never break down. Too many things go into landfills that are toxic and dangerous. Imagine, if you will, having to carry the load of every trash bag you ever sent to the dump.
