how does recycling paper help landfills?
This is an important question to address. As with any form of recycling, knowing the reasons why it is important and appreciating the benefits makes it easier to put recycling into practice. Historically waste has been buried in landfill sites. Many important archaeological finds today are from what is basically an ancient landfill location. The nature of waste has changed, however, with many chemicals and non or slow decomposing items filling up landfill sites. The volume of waste that is produced today has also escalated, meaning that alternatives to landfill must be sought.
