Landfilling is a waste management method that
involves storing waste in specially designed sites. This approach is generally
used for waste that cannot be reused or recycled.
Landfill sites must be carefully chosen and constructed to
prevent the leakage of pollutants, such as leachate, the liquid produced by
waste that poses a threat to groundwater.
Additionally, some of these facilities can be equipped with
systems to extract biogas generated by waste decomposition.
