Answer:
A landfill is a location designed for the systematic longterm storage of waste under conditions that will prevent the contamination of air and water.
A landfill may be designed for the storage of inert waste, sanitary waste (rubbissh) or hazardous industrial waste. The control measures become more stringent as the hazards associated with the wastes go up.
Typically a landfill consists of several cells, each of which is filled and completed before the next cell is used.
A cell is pit fitted with under drain piping and an impervious liner.
Waste is put into the cell and periodically covered with clay.
When the cell is full, a final covering of clay is applied, then a layer of topsoil is added to allow grass to be grown on he surface
Monitoring systems to check for water pollution or methane generation may be present.
I think that you are probably mistaking the word landgfill for the word 'landfill' and a landfill is a low area of land that is built up from deposits of solid refuse in layers covered by soil.
Landfill is the name given to garbage dumps, rubbish tips etc. Typically the local authority finds what they hope is a suitable site, perhaps an old quarry, and then all the garbage collected from residents is dumped there.

Most solid waste in the United States is disposed of in landfills. Some waste is also incinerated to generate energy, while a smaller portion is recycled or composted.
The most common type of waste found in landfills is municipal solid waste, which includes household garbage, packaging materials, and other everyday items. This waste typically consists of a mixture of organic and inorganic materials.
Solid waste can be held in landfills, which are specially-designed sites where waste is compacted and buried to reduce its volume and minimize environmental impact. Additionally, solid waste can be stored in containers such as bins, dumpsters, or hazardous waste drums for collection and disposal.
Landfills are mostly comprised of municipal solid waste, which includes household trash, construction debris, and commercial waste. They also contain yard waste, recyclables, and sometimes hazardous materials. The waste in landfills decomposes over time, producing gas and leachate that must be managed to prevent environmental contamination.
Paper, yard waste, food waste, and plastics.
Landfills, usually, though solid human waste goes to a sewerage system.
The largest component of landfills is typically paper and cardboard waste. These materials make up a significant portion of municipal solid waste due to their widespread use in packaging and consumer products.
