Question

do they open up bags and sort it all out or is it just dumped in the landfill?

Answer 1

idk it might depend who takes it. i think they just take it all and burn it.

Answer 2

It depends on  your municipality, but it is almost never opened up and sorted, unless you sorted it already (recycling bins).  It is usually landfilled but sometimes incinerated.

It depends on the kind of the trash.

It may be recycled or just dumped or buried.
