What an astonishingly inefficient process. It's much harder to get
non-renewable materials out of unmarked landfills with random contents
than it was to get them out of the earth in the first place.
Why. Not. Recycle. Properly.

Before ewaste was cheaper to ship overseas I am sure quite a bit of it
ended up in US landfills. Sooner or later those landfills will be dug up
and recycled since it will be cheaper then digging 5 miles into the
earth looking for it, plus anything currently junked will go straight to
be recycled and reused.

Depending how fast (and how much) the junk is recycled it could keep
strip
mining for new materials down. How much of that old stuff that lasted
forever just ended up in the dump to rot and leach poisons into the
ground?
There will eventually be some kind of compromise for longer life and
cleaner 99% recycling.
