    While I wouldn’t argue it saves the planet, sequestering garbage in far off, centralized, contained locations is a little better for public health than simply tossing it in the streets like we used to do. Cholera outbreaks happened on the regular before organized waste collection became a thing.

      That for sure. I was referring to the people who think that just because the collected trash isn’t a problem for them in a direct way anymore, it’s all solved.
