Answer 4

Rubbish dumps are only slightly better than litter and roadside dumping in the hierarchy of waste disposal.

They are open areas with a broad range of waste from inert fill to toxic industrial waste. They have no containment for water pollutants or protection for groundwater. They have no controls on blowing material, odors, open fires, vermin, illicit use, safety, security, or illegal salvaging. Because they are full of organic material, kitchen wastes, vegetation etc, and are constantly being covered over, this organic waste decomposes anaerobically (that is, without air) to produce methane, which is a greenhouse gas 20 times more dangerous than carbon dioxide.
