AMERICA’S LANDFILLS ARE COOKING PEOPLE ALIVE…LITERALLY

Imagine living next to a garbage pile so big and hot it might secretly be on fire…but the company swears it’s not a fire.

In Val Verde, CA, people are getting sick – headaches, nosebleeds, cancers – while the landfill next door spews out toxic gas and bubbling trash juice.

The dump is overheating, melting pipes, and belching benzene…but officials call it a “subsurface oxidation event” because “fire” is apparently too spicy a word.

Residents have begged for help, but the company, Waste Connections, insists it’s just a totally normal 200-degree pile of rotting garbage.

Kids can’t play outside. Pets are dropping dead. Officials say it’s an “imminent danger.” The operator says, “Nah, we got this.”

The worst part? This could happen at any of the hundreds of landfills near American homes.
