'Landfill' generally refers to a hole in the ground lined with plastic, and can be of any size.
On average I've heard it can take up to 2000 years to dispose of itself.
Landfills are not built then watched until they fill up. An engineered landfill is sized so that it fills up in an estimated period of time. Usually the interior is divided up into cells which are filled sequentially so the status of the estimate can be corrected. Building against an estimated lifespan allows planning for the development of a new site to be done in an orderly fashion.

Styrofoam it takes thousands of years to breack down in a land fill
Synthetic fabrics, such as polyester and nylon, can take hundreds to thousands of years to decompose in a landfill site due to their non-biodegradable nature. This long decomposition time contributes to environmental pollution and sustainability issues.

The time it takes for a toilet to fill up completely can vary, but on average it usually takes about 2-3 minutes.
A disposable diaper can take anywhere from 250 to 500 years to break down in a landfill, depending on various factors such as the materials used and environmental conditions. The plastic components, in particular, contribute to the long decomposition time. This prolonged breakdown process is a significant environmental concern, as it adds to landfill waste and pollution.
The amount of land that landfills take up can vary significantly depending on the size and capacity of the landfill. On average, a landfill can cover several acres of land, with some larger landfills covering hundreds of acres. As the landfill fills up with waste, the area required for storage will continue to grow.
