Disposal methods

Landfill

A landfill is a site for the disposal of waste materials by burial. Landfill is the oldest form of waste treatment, although the burial of the waste is modern; historically, refuse was simply left in piles or thrown into pits. Landfills must be open and available to users every day. While the majority of its customers are municipalities, commercial and construction companies, residents are also allowed to use the landfill in most cases.^[1] Historically, landfills have been the most common method of organized waste disposal and remain so in many places around the world.^[2] Although, landfills are a great way to get rid of some of the trash in our environment, it is also very dangerous for the community. When landfill trash is sent here, it is composted by burning it. With this technique, the gases and chemicals that are burning will contaminate the air making it a safety hazard to those who live close to these landfill sites.^[3] When picking a landfill location, the government has to keep in mind that there are people that are living around these areas and what they could do to keep them safe^[4]
