What problem is caused by waste in landfills?
There is a risk of contamination of surrounding watercourses and ground water. Flammable methane gas has to be vented into the atmosphere, or burnt off. The land needs many years after landfill has ceased before it can be built on. Landfill sites are becoming scarce, which is why recycling is encouraged nowadays. The more that is recycled, the less waste has to be dumped in a landfill.

What are good and bad effects of garbage?
Many types of garbage are not biodegradable, which means it will not deteriorate over time. Garbage in land fills stays there for hundreds of years and there is no way of getting rid of it. Chemicals from landfills can leach off in rain water and pollute ground water and nearby rivers. When a land fill becomes full, many cities will cap it with soil. These caps can be used as public parks, gardens, or can be returned to natural wilderness. There is a lot of organic waste (meat and plant products) mixed into the garbage, which will decompose. When the organic waste decomposes, it produces methane gas, which can be tapped into and used as an alternative energy source.
