Landfills play a vital role in managing the waste generated by households, businesses, and industries. These facilities are designed to safely dispose of materials that cannot be reused, recycled, or otherwise diverted from the waste stream. Modern landfills follow strict environmental regulations and employ advanced engineering techniques to minimize their impact on surrounding communities and ecosystems.
To protect the environment, landfills are often equipped with features such as liners, leachate collection systems, and gas recovery systems. These measures help prevent contamination of soil and water while capturing methane emissions, which can be converted into renewable energy, reducing the facility’s carbon footprint.
