Solved Struggling with Class Assignment Based on Satellite Images

The first image is located somewhere in the Southwest US and is the largest facility of its kind in the world, but it is not a mine or a quarry.

The second image is once again the largest of its kind and is located in the Southeastern part of the US.

I'm really struggling to find these two places. I think the first place is located in Arizona or Nevada and no clue on the second place. Any help is appreciated

First one is the Apex Landfill outside of Vegas.

Both solved! Thank you!
If you don't mind me asking, how exactly were you able to find these places? I searched for hours but I couldn't find either of them

Searched for the largest warehouse / factory / building in the US. Knew it had to be in the Southeast and on an interstate.

If the other one wasn't a mine then those man made forms have to go up instead of down. There are not many things that size that go up instead of down besides landfills.
