The first segment glimpses an early instance of waste biogenesis, originating in an accident between scissors and paper.

The second segment is a window into the daily life of an independent warehouse population. Notably, there is evidence of a crude labor delegation language based on legacy corporate icons. We see tragic failures in the management of unknown and radioactive materials, as well as emergency medical care administered using ONLY written instructions. The very existence of this footage is miraculous, given the efforts made by warehouse populations to remain anonymous. LANDFILL was one of the first approved SNPSs (Synthetic Narrator Primary Sources), and is a testament to how far ahead of its time the ZX_719b_2 nanocamera really was.
