Problems With Garbage Garbage Destinations: -sorted at transfer stations -buried at landfill -burned at incinerator -costs money, uses land, causes pollution		Garbage from homes is picked up and taken to the nearest transfer station where waste disposal employees decide where it should go. If the garbage goes to a landfill site, it is spread out on the ground and carefully buried. If the garbage goes to an incinerator, it is burned. The problem with these methods of garbage disposal is that they cost money, take up land and cause pollution.
