That's a lot of calcium to just throw away. I also know that bones are used in the production of gelatin. Nothing in today's capitalist world totally goes to waste, if money can be made, of course.

    Yeah, I was wondering, if any would even end up in landfills. Bone meal is probably the biggest use, which is a fertilizer.

    And even if you do just want to get rid of the bones, typically trash gets burned before it goes into landfill. And I believe, bones largely burn up. (I decided against looking that up. 😅).
    At least, the burnt bones would presumably be unrecognizable to archeologists...
