There's sustainability and sustainability. Aside from the year-by-year costs, there's the cost of additional landfills _and_ the horrendous task of finding some neighborhood relatively near a desirable metro area that will _allow_ a landfill to come i these days. Private concerns don't tend to factor in these long-term costs. When the nearby landfill fills up, they simply cut a deal with somebody much farther away, and pass the additional hauling costs on. And those sites get further and further away.
Somebody has to do the long-term planning. The attention span of the average corporation is 'way too short -- next quarter, too often.
