Will our current rubbish landfills be of interest to anyone in the future? I can imagine that they might be either subjects of archaeology (determining the state of society by the waste it produces) or mining (harvesting materials that have become useful in the time between landfill and subsequent technological advancements). I can also imagine that landfills will be of no interest to a future society, them being too obsessed with their own present and their own problems to be concerned with our waste.

PS - I think there will always be historians interested in the past.
PPS - And those people will be motivated to dig for it.
