I guess another way of saying that is that the US does not have "modern, well regulated landfills".

  You seem to be conflating landfills (where trash that's trucked away from your curb goes to be buried) and sewage treatment plants (where the stuff you put down your pipes goes to be processed into clean water, fertilizer, and "other"). They are completely different things.

    In my city, the solids from the sewage treatment plant are trucked to the landfill.

      Most places. the solids are either burned or dumped.
