    You really don’t want to set precedent here. What if any random person starts having hallucinations about hard drives being lost in the trash. You don’t want anybody to have the right to dig up your landfill

      I’m not seeing a negative here? As long as they accept liability why shouldn’t someone be able to dig through landfill?

        the potential liability exceeds the value of what they’re searching for.

        Air contamination, interruption of ongoing landfill operations, what if the landfills already capped? Do they get to reopen it? What contractors do you allow to do the work? Who takes the liability if they don’t fulfill the work to the specification? What if multiple people want to dig in the landfill at the same time? Who arbitrates? What’s the limit?

      I mean, as long as they are willing to pay all the costs of digging up a landfill up front… Why not?

        Sure, if he buys the landfill from the city. I Don’t see a problem with that.

        Anything short of that, disrupts current ongoing landfill operations.
