Certain waste products will take centuries to breakdown. Once a landfill is full, another site will have to be found - resulting in run-off and methane gas blighting the surrounding area.

What methods are most common for dealing with waste?
The most common disposal methods are dumping (which includes landfills and river/ocean disposal) and incineration (burning) which for solids is also followed by dumping the ashes.

Why do landfills exist?
A landfill is an intentionally created human act, just like anything else people create. The problem, however, is unlike other creations, landfills need management to prevent unwanted consequences. A landfill is created--not caused-- when people legally or illegally dump any kind of waste. Many rural roads have dumps off hillsides--illegal dumping--that makes a partial landfill. A private landowner can request certain types of legal dumping to fill in a slope--for example, old concrete, rock, but no waste or garbage (which can only be legally dumped in certain managed landfills). Managed landfills, the ones we hear the most about, are licensed businesses that accept biodegradable waste. Other licensed business accept non-biodegradable waste or specialized waste-- for example, certain types of construction products.

Why landfills are negative?
Because they are basically huge holes full of waste that are very difficult to recycle. They produce leachate, the liquid portion of waste from the landfill, that impacts the surrounding environments. Landfills are mostly negative, and most environmentally aware communities realize that they have to begin to treat their waste some other way, such as gasification. They also attract wildlife, which leads to the destruction of wildlife such as bears or gulls.
