Okay, nobody likes to talk about trash, but today I must.

My day started with a 6:30 am run to the landfill in Sacramento. Thought I'd unload the trailer early, others must have had the same idea because it was crowded early. While waiting in line I thought I'd check my phone for other places in the area.

This is what I got as a response to nearby places. I guess I was truly no place. thought that was odd that a bunch of us were waiting to go "no place". I knew that the Fiefer Landfill in Sacramento, Ca was a drive to get to, but surely there must be something there.

When I got a chance to check Google Maps of the Sacramento Landfill, the view did show that it was isolated.

I did find out some fun facts about the dump landfill in Sacramento

The landfill facility sits on 1,084 acres located near the intersection of Kiefer Boulevard and Grant Line Road.

The Department services 155,000 residential customers every week, collecting and disposing or processing 150,000 tons of trash, 75,000 tons of green waste and 45,000 tons of recyclables each year.

The Kiefer Landfill receives over 700,000 tons of waste per year.

The County processes on average 75 tons, or 150,000 pounds of e-waste each month

The Sacramento County, Fiefer Road Landfill is rumored to be the highest land elevation in Sacramento County.

You now know our trash.

So you know your trash, that brings up the related question; Do you know your .......sanitary waste disposal system? I guess that would be plumbing ..so the answer would probably be, Yes.

Kristine - Google maps has a lot of applications. I have found my truck, from a bird's eye view, parked in a parking lot in another town. Cool stuff.

Dan - Google has changed how we can see things.

Robert - Probably yes. That may be a crazier post then the landfill.

Lenn - Great minds think alike. :) Landfills today are very complex. It used to be push you waste in a hole and bury it. Now there are recycling program, underground Methane gas collection, and other resourses that the County incorporates. Good stuff.
