Where do they move the trash from the landfills to?

While I don't know the answer to that, I know that NJ burns a lot of garbage now in plants like Covanta. There is one in Newark near the Turnpike (the 3 blue smoke stacks). They generate electricity from the process.

They don't. Somerville's landfill continues to operate and they're putting solar panels over top of it without the need to drill down into it.
