We create a lot of waste and, at least for now, much of that waste goes into landfills. Properly managing garbage requires much more than digging a hole in the ground, as Grady from Practical Engineering shows in this video. Maintaining a landfill requires careful management of water, soil, landfill strata, and even gas buildup. And these challenges don’t end once the trucks stop arriving. Landfills require decades of care even after their closure. Check out the video to learn more about how these artificial structures are built, managed, and maintained.
