Landfill sanitary
Categories: Recycling#Environment Kit
A sanitary landfill is the place intended for the environmentally appropriate disposal of non-hazardous solid waste such as household, commercial and industrial wastes, primarily non-recyclable. The by-products resulting from the decomposition of tailings deposited in landfills are leachate (a liquid effluent) and biogas (a gaseous biofuel). For environmental and safety reasons, an additional infrastructure must be used to capture, store and treat these by-products, and soil waterproofing layers should be included to protect the groundwater. After the full use of the landfill, it is possible to transform it into a green area.
