Is landfill the greener way to recycle?

Bishop Hill in Recycling

Another recycling plant has gone up in smoke. This time the facility involved is in Wales, and there is apparently a fear that it could burn for days.

In related news a plastics recycling facility in Thailand was wiped out by fire a few hours ago.

On Saturday, it was a facility in Virginia that proved incendiary.

On Friday, there were two facilities in flames, one in Forth Worth and one in South Carolina.

Two days earlier, it was another pair, one in Maryland and one in Phoenix.

You do start to wonder whether it wouldn't be better for the environment to put all that stuff in landfill and collect the methane given off to use for fuel. Wouldn't that be a greener form of recycling?
