Remember watching a documentary about UK's landfills.The older ones,that are no longer in use, are often not even mapped property,so even the government struggles to pin point where all the stuff was dumped half a century ago.What was even more interesting is how much slower things degrade as opposed to the official guidelines. Decommissioned landfills are often covered with a layer of soil,which essentially deprives it from oxygen and slows down the process.They dug up some newspapers that were 30 or more years old and still fully legible.
