The article (18 November 2009) expresses the idea that "organic matter is rarely buried with other waste anymore (composting usually applies)." Although this may be true in specific instances, there is still a large amount of readily degradable organic matter, e.g. food wastes, disposable diaper wastes, and similar matter, in most municipal solid waste landfills in the United States. Please discuss and reference. KudzuVine (talk) 23:32, 18 November 2009 (UTC)

This idea is nonsensical. Organic matter is routinely buried in landfills all across the U.S. Only a very small fraction of organic waste is composted or otherwise diverted from landfills. The statement should be removed. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 24.115.128.69 (talk) 18:45, 28 September 2016 (UTC)

Organic matter is *frequently* still buried in landfills in Canada, and I say the statement about this so-called controversy be removed entirely. Municipal composting programs are not so-wide spread, nor are there participation rates 100% (especially since they are in large part directed at residential sectors, and do not include ICI, or industrial, commercial and institutional, sectors) so as to effectively preclude leachate formation from happening in landfills. 131.104.209.60 (talk) 18:54, 9 June 2010 (UTC)Gillian
