Question

give reason why garbage can be buried in landfills

Answer 1

Landfills and buried waste are generally confined to as small an area as possible and then compacted to reduce the volume the waste occupies. In landfills the waste is generally covered with layers of soil to break up the volume and to allow the decomposition and break down of materials. With both landfills and buried waste the waste may contain hazardous materials that were not meant to be interred in the earth. These can include lead, petroleum products and heavy metals. When these hazardous materials leech into the groundwater they can cause both environmental damage and can contaminate drinking water. They can also kill vegetation and cause erosion on the property. Hazardous materials should not be put into landfills or buried in the ground.

Answer 2

Garbage can be buried in landfills since -
1)Wastes that can't be recycled can be easily buried in landfills.
2)To produce energy from the waste........(we can produce electricity from our landfill sites as the wastes decomposes and produces methane which can be fed through to a CHP and converted to electricity.)
