Re: "11.8 million tonnes from washing machines"

@Mahatma, So your landfill is in your back garden rather than out of town - you're potentially sitting on a gold mine (add to that tin/copper/silver) ;-) Probably a good idea, pass it on to the kids - one day future generations will be mining the old landfills to recover all those valuable metals and minerals. Once technology has made separation cheap enough and demand is high enough....
