The groundwater near the landfill would become polluted by the wastes, unless the landfill site was carefully designed and built to prevent pollution of groundwater resources.
An engineered landfill is designed to capture and treat any emissions that may come from the decomposition from the garbage. The emissions may be in the form of liquid runoff or vapor emissions like natural gas.
the most important function of a landfill is to store and get rid of solid waste.it provides an area where waste is disposed of and can be managed properly in order to reduce health and environmental risks.
Paper degrades at different rates depending on composition of the paper, the treatment of the landfill, the abundance of enzymes and bacteria and weather patterns. It can be up to 5 years
A secured chemical landfill is a disposal site used for housing hazardous materials and toxic waste with minimum environmental impact. They are secure due to their professional and experienced workforce and secure alarm system.
both (a) and (b) use of natural resources use of landfill space
Porcelain is typically disposed of in regular trash bins. However, if you have a large amount of porcelain to dispose of, consider taking it to a facility that recycles construction materials or a landfill that accepts ceramics. Alternatively, you can try to repurpose or donate the porcelain to avoid it ending up in a landfill.

Some of the environmental issues that is involved with computers and their components is that they contain heavy metals. They contain materials that are referred to as non-biodegradable.

Rubbish that is not recycled is disposed of using landfill sites and incinerators. These rubbish disposal systems have an environmental impact and prevent materials that could have been reused from being recycled.
Landfills undergo decomposition as they age. This decomposition is often uneven due to the composition of the garbage and leads to uneven compaction/settlement of the ground. Therefore, it is not recommended to build a permanent facility on a 'completed' landfill as the structure has a high probability of sustaining structural damage.
i guess because it doesn't take up as much room or smell and incineration gets rid of it does that sound bout right? (:
