Landfil leaching

Reading this article would make anyone or at least most people want to limit there waste by reusing ,recycling and composting.

A massive landfill near Cache Creek where Metro Vancouver has dumped nearly eight million tonnes of waste.

This line in the article was the most shocking for me,I can not even imagine what 8 million tonnes of waste would look like,I did however visit a nearby landfill on one occasion and the mountains of garbage there astounded me but I am sure it was no where near the size of this one.
