A properly designed disposal site is usually lined with a tiled gravel layer to collect any leachate and prevent the buildup of groundwater, then a compacted clay liner, then a welded impervious polypropylene (or other polymer) liner. A final earth liner is then added to protect the polymer liner from mechaniacal damage during use.

How are sanitary landfills different from open dumps?

Sanitary landfills are engineered waste disposal sites designed to minimize environmental impact and health risks. They are lined with protective barriers to prevent leachate contamination and have systems in place to collect and treat methane gas. In contrast, open dumps are unregulated sites where waste is simply dumped without any protective measures, leading to pollution of soil, water, and air. Sanitary landfills are carefully managed to ensure proper waste disposal and environmental protection, while open dumps pose significant risks to public health and the environment.
