Rubbish disposal is a massive problem. for the world.
Here in the UK we had Incinerators for a brief time but then they were banned & demolished because of the air pollution.
They will probably have to start building them again one day but with carbon capture facilities built in.
I dont know where South Tyneside dump their rubbish nowadays as all local quarries must be full by now & we cant rely on Quarries to dump into forever..
