Wikipedia

  1. sanitary landfill

    A landfill site, also known as a tip, dump, rubbish dump, garbage dump, or dumping ground, is a site for the disposal of waste materials. Landfill is the oldest and most common form of waste disposal, although the systematic burial of the waste with daily, intermediate and final covers only began in the 1940s. In the past, refuse was simply left in piles or thrown into pits; in archeology this is known as a midden. Some landfill sites are used for waste management purposes, such as temporary storage, consolidation and transfer, or for various stages of processing waste material, such as sorting, treatment, or recycling. Unless they are stabilized, landfills may undergo severe shaking or soil liquefaction of the ground during an earthquake. Once full, the area over a landfill site may be reclaimed for other uses.

  1. sanitary landfill

    A sanitary landfill is a waste disposal site designed and operated according to standards and measures to minimize environmental hazards. These standards usually include a method of compacting and covering waste with soil or other materials to avoid contamination of groundwater, emission of hazardous gases, or attraction of disease-spreading insects or rodents. A sanitary landfill also typically includes a system to collect and treat leachate, the liquid that percolates through the waste.
