"It ends up in landfills where it rots and releases methane - a greenhouse gas 20 times more potent than carbon dioxide that contributes to climate change," the narrator states while an image of a savage storm is shown.

This is misleading crap!

Every modern landfill is set up with piping designed to capture the methane and route it to a standpipe where it is burned off.

Without such systems there is a hazard of fires or explosions.

Some landfills collect the methane and sell it to local manufactures at reduced rates because it is contaminated with undesirable trace gases.
