What 3 threats do landfills have on groundwater?
As with all garbage on a landfill it will slowly decompose and that takes a really long time. Chemicals will eventually sink down and mix with groundwater. Nutrition and bacterias as well. This can pollute groundwater for generations to come. You ask for 3 threats but I can mainly think of one real threat and that is pollution as in oil or various chemicals. Bacterias can be of an issue if one pump up water close by, but these bacteria will most likely die off and be filtered away by the sand and soil in the ground over a relatively short distance. A third possibility could be radioactivity but this sort of waste-product is not allowed on an ordinary landfill. Finally, if not professionally designed and frequently topped by bulldozing a soil layer on top, contamination is a threat.

When you throw paper away, it usually ends up in a landfill where it can take years to decompose. This contributes to environmental pollution and waste accumulation. Recycling paper is a more sustainable option as it conserves resources and reduces the amount of waste going to landfills.
What happends to your rubbish once the truck takes it away?
It'll be taken either to a transfer station or directly to a landfill - whichever is more convenient for the truck hauling it off. If it goes direct to the landfill, it gets dumped, buries, and sits there until it decomposes. If it goes to a transfer station, it'll be dumped, and later onto other trucks which will take it to the landfill.
