both limestone and sandstone are highly permeable to water. As there are often toxic substances which leak from landfill, it is necessary to collect water which falls on the heap. For this reason, permeable rocks like limestone and sandstone are not the ideal basement for a landfill, and may require significant infrastructure to prevent contamination of the water table below the landfill.
They are ideal landfills if the need is there for drainage. Permeable rock has many uses in landfill. Landfill in areas that are naturally high in limestone or sandstone content would have no issues with a little more of either material in it.
