Garbology : Chapter Four

I find it interesting how companies can make so much money on the product that we all want to get rid of, trash. Trash is a savior to David Steiner. I don't understand, if David can become a multimillionaire with just trash, why can't we do it? "The scandal devasted the company, its stock value dropped $25 billion..." (Humes 88). I don't understand how trash can be valued at such a high price. Apparently, landfills are the heart of the companies. Without our trash, these companies would be useless. I'm shocked that these landfills are being drained by the amount of cash. Landfills are trash, yet people make tons of cash. I will never seem to understand.
