Landfill is a site for the permanent disposal of waste materials by burial. Historically, landfills have been one of the most common methods of organised waste management (along with incineration), and remain so in many places around the world.
Landfills may include internal waste disposal sites (where a producer of waste carries out their own waste disposal at the place of production) as well as sites used by many producers. Many landfills are also used for other waste management purposes, such as the temporary storage, consolidation and transfer, or processing of waste material (sorting, treatment, or recycling).
A definition of landfill in the EU, as well as regulations for the landfilling of waste, may be found at [1].
A landfill also may refer to ground that has been filled in with soil and rocks instead of waste materials, so that it can be used for a specific purpose, such as for building houses.Unless they are stabilized, these areas may experience severe shaking or liquefaction of the ground in a large earthquake.

this can be a loopy problem yet a actual one... there's a constrained marketplace for recyclables . . . partly because the provision of recyclable substances is constrained because of the shortcoming of recycling courses so it isn't reasonable to envision vast flora that surely procedure the recyclable substances into useful products. So, many governmental authorities (i'm no longer certain even if that's a federal or state regulation) MANDATED by regulation that localities are required to envision recycling courses that separate doubtlessly recyclable substances from the garbage that is going right into a landfill. They did this to make certain that a sufficient furnish of recyclable substances is for sale for recycling so as that there should be funding and progression of recycling technologies. notwithstanding, until eventually agencies make investments in recycling technologies to make a recyling circulation low priced to reuse/recycle that recycle circulation is dumped in a landfill.. Now.. many products are being produced from recycled substances ... a minimum of from the products that are common to procedure (milk jugs, paper, certain plastics, some metals, etc) notwithstanding, something else of the recycle circulation (that's a very great fraction of the substances that are picked up as recyclable) is largely valueless so it is going to a landfill. further, each and every now and then that's too expensive to kind and deliver the "useful" recycleables to a market so . . . that still is going right into a landfill.. (the idea is that with slightly of success which will in basic terms be non everlasting) convinced that's a conundrum notwithstanding this is my awareness of what is going on...

I thought they put all the trash onto barges and transport it out of the city?
