There is potential energy in a box of matches. But some energy needs to be applied or added to the system or "garbage" to break those molecules apart. I believe with garbage, compression forces on the garbage due to the garbage being piled up on itself is one of the reasons for the methane production. This is collected by sumps, and perforated pipe at the land fill and is running the turbines.
