The Secret Life of Landfill BBC4
https://www.bbc.co.uk/iplayer/episode/b0bgpc2f/the-secret-life-of-landfill-a-rubbish-historyI caught a bit of this last night and will have to go back for more as I have not seen it before.An archaeological dig into old landfill. The bit I saw was about those things like batteries that we used to throw away and which now are a problem being unearthed and washed away due to the number of landfills close to the sea and the increased number of storms that climate change brings. Nowadays operatives and archaelogists can carry electronic gadgets that will warn them of the dangers of a lot of methane and can measure the amount of dangerous toxic metals leaking out into the ground. Why we now have rules and regulations and are supposed to sort out, separate and dispose differently of some of these things from our waste today.
