A method for final disposal of solid waste on land. The refuse is spread and compacted and a cover of soil applied so that effects on the environment (including public health and safety) are minimized. Under current regulations, landfills are required to have liners and leachate treatment systems to prevent contamination of ground water and surface waters. An industrial landfill disposes of non-hazardous industrial wastes. A municipal landfill disposes of domestic waste including garbage, paper, etc. This waste may include toxins that are used in the home, such as insect sprays and powders, engine oil, paints, solvents, and weed killers.

A carefully designed structure built into or on top of the ground in which trash is isolated from the surrounding environment such as ground water, air and rain.
Landfill is the main method of waste disposal in Scotland at the current time and involves burying waste in the ground. A landfill site is a licensed facility where waste is permanently deposited for disposal.
A landfill is an area designated to receive waste. Landfills can be harmful because they can leach toxins into the groundwater and methane and other toxic gases into the air. Landfilling e-waste is also undesirable because it permanently removes the material from further economic use.
Essentially a cavity in the ground in to which refuse is disposed of. Once full this is covered over and landscaped so as to appear as part of the surrounding area.
An area where trash is disposed, then buried beneath a layer of earth. Landfills are usually equipped with a liner to reduce soil and water pollution from contaminating seepage, thus the term “sanitary landfill.
A legal and controlled area for the placement of wastes into the ground. See dump.
A site that is used for trash disposal. May cause environmental problems or neighborhood nuisances.
an open area where trash is buried
a site for disposing of solid waste on land.
A modern engineered way to deposit waste into the ground and still protect the environment. As the landfill is built, the base of the cell is lined with a protective layer and materials are installed to monitor and collect leachate and gas emissions. As waste is deposited over the liner, it is compacted with heavy machinery in a effort to get the maximum amount of waste in an area. At the end of the day the waste is covered with soil or special fabric cover (unless specifically exempted by state regulators.) Once the lined area is completely full, it is covered with an engineer-designed cap. Regulations mandate the periodic testing of ground water, leachate levels and gas emissions. Landfills are accounted for a separate line of business within the WMI organization. Different types of landfills include MSW, C&D, Asbestos Monofil, Ash Monofil, Special Waste and Hazardous Waste.
A landfill is an enormous hole, either excavated for the purpose of waste disposal or left over from a surface mining operation. The hole is lined with clay or a synthetic lining to prevent leakage of waste into the surrounding water supply. Waste is laid on the liner at the bottom of the landfill and a layer of topsoil is then compacted into the waste. The layering is repeated again and again until the landfill reaches its full capacity.
Site designed for disposal of solid or chemical wastes by buriel. It may be an open pit or an engineered facility that includes special linings to prevent wastes from leaking into water supplies.
A system of trash and garbage disposal in which waste is buried between layers of earth. Once a landfill is sealed, nothing will decay in it.
1. Sanitary landfills are disposal sites for non-hazardous solid wastes spread in layers, compacted to the smallest practical volume, and covered by material applied at the end of each operating day. 2. Secure chemical landfills are disposal sites for hazardous waste, selected and designed to minimize the chance of release of hazardous substances into the environment.

Disposal of solid wastes by burying in earth. The term is used to designate the buried depositories of waste. Licensed landfills under Michigan's Act 641 may be of the following types: Type I - Designed for hazardous and medical solid wastes. Type II - Designed for municipal solid waste. Type III - Designed for dirt and construction debris.

Disposal of waste by burying it in a controlled manner, for natural decomposition. Modern landfills are fully lined and capped with inert materials so that the products of decomposition do not gain access to the environment, and so that the gas generated as a natural produce of the decomposition can be harnessed to produce 'green' electricity.
