Environmental Protection Agency: Landfills

Modern landfills are well-engineered facilities designed to receive specific kinds of waste, including municipal solid waste (MSW), construction and demolition debris (C&D) and hazardous waste.

Landfill facilities must be designed to protect the environment from contaminants, which may be present in the solid waste disposed in the unit.
