Synopsis

The daily workings of a county landfill in Wisconsin, where 29,000 residents throw away 30 million pounds of garbage a year. "Our job is to provide a service for anything you have to get rid of." The determined solid-waste manager has found markets for 30 percent of the recyclables, but what about the other 70%? Watch the construction of what will be the last 'cell' on this site: a cell that will fill with 100 tons of garbage in just 5 years.
