In the state of Massachusetts, there are only 6 active landfills, all of which are expected to be at capacity by the year 2030. Investigating solutions to this problem, an organization called Zero Waste Massachusetts has found that 40% of all waste that ends up in landfills, incinerators, and litter can actually be funneled toward recycling and compost systems. In response to this discovery, they have issued a list of necessary steps to reduce all of the waste that is sent to landfills.
