Landfill
This article is about a widely used strategy for solid waste disposal.For the disposal of liquid wastes, and sewage in particular, see Water treatment.For the practice of creating new land from sea- or riverbeds, see Land reclamation. A landfill, also known as a dump or tip (and historically as a midden), is a site for the disposal of waste materials by burial and is the oldest form of waste treatment. Historically, landfills have been the most common methods of organized waste disposal and remain so in many places around the world.
