Sanitary landfill, method of controlled disposal of municipal solid waste (refuse) on land.
As far as the optimal design, operation, and field application of the Aerobic Anaerobic Landfill Method (AALM) are concerned, it is very important to understand how aeration modes (different combinations of aeration depth and air injection rate) affect the biodegradation of organic carbon and the transformation of nitrogen in landfill solid waste.

Before the current regulations for building on top of landfill, the method was often used to expand the city's footprint, including for Battery Park City, part of which is built on the dirt from the original World Trade Center.
Rather than mixing the coal ash with water and storing it in ponds, it plans to store dry ash in landfills — a method that minimizes the risk of contaminating rivers and streams or groundwater supplies with pollutants including mercury, arsenic, and cadmium, which are common constituents of coal ash.
RDF, composting and landfill gas recovery methods have been explained in brief.
In terms of waste treatment methods, landfill generates the smallest direct and indirect waste tonnages, but it also provides the least amount of economic activity per tonne treated, producing $US2.53 in total of economic production per tonne treated.
While not without emissions, this landfill-to-gas method is considered a carbon neutral way of producing hydrogen, because it prevents a ubiquitous and more damaging greenhouse gas - methane traps 86 times more heat than carbon dioxide does over 20 years - from otherwise escaping into the atmosphere.
Because of the lack of measurements taken at landfills in MRS, the method of[38] was used to calculate the landfill gas generation rate, resulting in a value for k of 0.022 year−1, which means a half-life of about 33 years (for the calculation, see also[39]).
Historically, the UK has used landfill as its preferred method for waste disposal and, as a result, has been slower to adopt incineration than other EU states.
However, at present, with landfill the dominant treatment method, each tonne of rubber or electronic waste treated produces economic production worth only $US116 or $US25 (Table 7).
The most common existing treatment method is landfill, as it remains the cheapest and easiest way of disposing of the MSW.
