Data Mining
I suspect that landfills might be mined in the future. Nothing has been thrown away; it's just resting. My trash is actually a generous endowment for future generations. You're welcome!
On that note, here's an interesting article about data mining the US Congressional Record.

I think it's interesting that a culture so proficient in creating objects is generally so deficient in deconstructing things.
After all, isn't everything in the universe--No matter how toxic, unbiodegradable or radioactive--in its base state "organic"? (I just blew some god-damned dirty hippie minds...)
I would think that a huge scientific endeavor for the future would be to find ways of recycling or reducing things currently considered un-useable.
This would certainly be incredibly beneficial in a "post-apocalyptic" situation, or for the non sci-fi nerds, in an ecological sense.
