Question

What is sanitary landfill?

Answer in Brief

Solution

A sanitary landfill is a way of disposing of refuse on land without creating a nuisance to public health. In this system, the waste is dumped at a chosen site and then covered by a thin layer of soil to avoid any kind of pollution. In landfills, the waste gets decomposed by physical, chemical, and biological reactions.
