The rubbish on TV isn't even real any more...
A rubbish tip made of 1,000 tonnes of rotting household and construction waste has been built by Channel 4... so that ten contestants in a new reality show can live on it for three weeks. Health and Safety officials banned the producers from using the real landfill because it was too dangerous.
Dumped, which begins on Sunday, aims to highlight Britain’s waste problem by challenging volunteers to build shelter, sanitation and generate power by reclaiming waste. (The Times)
It's probably possible to do it, but unless we employ people to go through all of the waste we produce and pick out any bits which may be able to be re-used at all, it really is a waste of time.

It's not even real rubbish on TV any more, but fake rubbish! It's still rubbish though. Just like most TV - especially "reality" shows.
