1.A dump is an excavated piece of land used as storage for waste materials while a landfill is also an excavated piece of land for waste storage but it is regulated by the government.
2.A dump is smaller than a landfill.
3.A dump does not have leachate collection and treatment systems while a landfill does.
4.A landfill has a liner at the bottom to catch the liquid produced by solid waste while a dump does not have a liner.
5.Landfills are covered daily with soil to deter pests and prevent bad smells from being released into the air while dumps may be covered or not.
6.After a while, landfills might produce toxic gases which are released into the air and ground because the waste materials cannot rot while dumps are hazards because they can be located anywhere.
