Of course nobody ever throws any of that stuff into their trash.
 
Sales agent over at Santa Clara told me that they offer tours over at the landfill and that you can't even smell anything up there because it's a higher tech landfill (whatever that means).

Probably means they bury it as soon as the trash is poured in :)

In all seriousness I think that Irvine would take the mgmt of this landfill very seriously, they dont want the smell to get all over the place, its going to ruin their 'pristine' reputation :)
