What is a landfill?
 Landfill is the disposal of waste into or onto land. Today, landfill sites are constructed and operated to strict technical standards in order to reduce environmental effects.
A landfill is a carefully designed structure built into or on top of the ground, in which trash is separated from the area around it.

Landfills contain garbage and serve to prevent contamination between the waste and the surrounding environment, especially groundwater.
