1. landfills

   A landfill site, also known as a tip, dump, rubbish dump, garbage dump, or dumping ground, is a site for the disposal of waste materials. Landfill is the oldest and most common form of waste disposal, although the systematic burial of the waste with daily, intermediate and final covers only began in the 1940s. In the past, refuse was simply left in piles or thrown into pits; in archeology this is known as a midden. Some landfill sites are used for waste management purposes, such as temporary storage, consolidation and transfer, or for various stages of processing waste material, such as sorting, treatment, or recycling. Unless they are stabilized, landfills may undergo severe shaking or soil liquefaction of the ground during an earthquake. Once full, the area over a landfill site may be reclaimed for other uses.

   Although I'm a certified beauty fanatic, it pains me to witness all of the wasted packaging that isn't recyclable wind up in landfills, i think a lot of people would be surprised to learn that bottle pumps, which are so ubiquitous, can't be recycled since many of the metal components are too small. That's why I'm a big fan of companies that offer refillable containers and that sell bulk refills so I can keep my original bottle and pump for years.
