The figure provides an illustration of a modern landfill for household waste disposal.
From a general perspective, the typical landfill lifetime consists of 4 phases, initiating with digging the hole and ending with the closing landfill.
The construction of a landfill commences when a large hole is dug out of a site with natural rock underneath. The bottom of the hole is thereafter covered with a layer of clay and another layer of unspecified synthetic substance. A drainage tank which is a box-shaped dug through the two layers and a set of drainage pipes are also installed.
When used, the landfill is filled with solid waste, with the leachate being extracted and flowing out of the site in liners. Once the rubbish has been converted into a mud-like compound, the landfill is sealed with clay, and gases that are emitted as a result of the conversion is pumped out to an unspecified zone.
