We do have less dirty trash today. Processes have been streamlined, waste products sold for raw material for something else. These legacy dumps are a cesspool of everything. There are no plans and no money and little expertise to deal with them. Where do you start? Dig up a few tons and carve out the metal? Wash it and try again?

Tell me I'm wrong. I want to be wrong on this.
