 The average American discards 7 1⁄2 pounds of garbage every day. This garbage goes mostly to landfills, where it's compacted and buried. As the waste stream continues to grow, so will the pressures on our landfills, our resources, and our environment. This is John Rosa of the Boone County Landfill.
