Are you seriously suggesting that the precious and heavy metals that are being reclaimed haven't already begun to leech into the fill mass by the time mining begins?
Of course they do, so your statement that there are no contaminants is complete nonsense.
Then there's the issue of methane, toxic medical waste, lead, mercury, asbestos, polychlorinated biphenyls, and pathogens such as bacteria and viruses as well as other volatile organic compounds (from moldering). Even with the best controls, the mining process from most landfills can release tons of methane.
Even though methane-capture remediates SOME of the gases, tons of greenhouse gasses still find their way into the atmosphere which otherwise would be generally trapped below the surface. There are other toxins and pathogens which inevitably wind up being released when burning the captured gas, of which even trace amounts can be disastrous.
LFMR is still highly controversial AND debatable, even within the landfill industry itself, and is rarely economically profitable, to boot.
