How does a city rid itself of 440,000 tons of waste that it produces annually?

Copenhill.
You built a waste to energy power plant and convert that waste into enough clean energy to deliver electricity and district heating for 150,000 homes.

Watching it right now in 4K. Amazing pictures, I keep looking for something out of the ordinary but no, nothing.
Mars is dead. We need to find life out there.

Happy Valentine's Day, folks!

I stopped at my local liquor store last night so I don't have to go out today. Grabbed an 8pk of Kokanee for my hubby.
This is what our Valentine's usually looks like:
