Not much apparently. Perhaps we could ship a few billion of those blue recycling bins that are now so prevalent around America. Landfills are so 1980. China has such low labor costs sorting trahs for recycling could even be done by hand. Bet they don't even compost the leftover rice or bamboo shoots. In Britain they burn trash for energy. And it can be done relatively cleanly.
