we already do have tech that can refine out the valuable materials, it just happens to release toxic chemicals into the air and not be as cost effective as traditional mining yet (partially because we can do traditional mining in areas with looser workplace safety laws)
IMO one of the benefits of landfill is that it can be mined and recycled at a later date when we develop the tech to do so.
“when” is a risky assumption

Looks like a rage bait comment for that guy who wants to “mine” his Bitcoins from the local landfil which does not allow it… 😄
