Until a chemist or other expert replaces or improves this answer, I submit the following partial list of components which I think would be generated in a garbage landfill:

Methane gas [CH4---"natural gas"], Hydrogen Sulphide [H2s], Sulphur Dioxide, Sulphuric Acid, Ammonium Hydroxide, Ammonia, some limited amount of "compost" from vegetation, oxides of various metals, and a variety of salts resulting from the combination of some of the above products.
