When they have the massive Wall-A's on board the ships. Surly it should be the other way round.
shareWell they did have several centuries worth of time on the ship to build the Wall-A's while they kinda had to rush it in regards to Earth.

Seems a bit odd to start at E if following that theory.
shareDoesn't E stand for Earth and A stand for Axiam?

I think the smaller WALL-E's can do the job without damaging nearby buildings due to limited room to maneuver with all of the trash (the plan was to return in 5 years). What I don't get is what the thinking was to have these robots compact the garbage into cubes and then stack the cubes into these great towers. What exactly was step 2? Landfill? Incineration? I can't imagine it was recycling, because if it was wouldn't they have been recycling before the great garbage crisis necessitated everyone leave Earth? I would also love to know how it's possible for a planet to accumulate enough garbage to render a planet uninhabitable. Was there no waste management program in place (even incineration would have been slightly preferable to nothing)?
shareLook at our rivers, and you'll see how it is possible...

Not the only flaw in this movie.. but I thought of that, too. Not only is it extremely IMPRACTICAL and INEFFICIENT (think of how much energy and moving part sustainability is wasted on every trip that Wall-E has to make to the top of those huge towers, and then back - plus, he had to build those stable pathways / roads around every tower .. so they can't be even expanded to any other direction, but up?
Why don't the sandstorms and such blow those trash piles away? I realize it's supposed to be compressed metal (so, relatively heavy cubes - but how heavy can they be if a tiny robot like that can move them around easily?), but still. With sandstorms and other powerful weather they have there in the movie (though, conveniently, NOT when the humans land, so they can teach the kids to do boring farming jobs.. although NOTHING has changed for the better in 700 years, none of the problems they escaped are solved, but now all humans are FAT, and have to clean other people's garbage..), there's NO WAY those garbage towers would stay up, unless somehow welded/glued/taped together.
If you look at an actual garbage dump, that's exactly NOT how they do it. They spread the garbage as widely as they can, then they compress it AGAINST THE GROUND to flatten it as much as possible. Huge garbage mountains are really impractical and inefficient, and would only happen when there's just so much garbage, there's no other way (but even then, they should rather flatten it all over an area than make it multiple tall mounds or hills, let alone towers).
This movie makes no sense, and it starts with garbage, and ends with garbage.. that should tell you all you need to know about this.
