a site for disposal of waste by burying it under soil
Compound word from 'land' + 'fill,' first used in the 1940s. Originally called 'sanitary landfill' to distinguish from open dumps
Modern landfills are engineering marvels with layers of clay and plastic to prevent contamination! Some even capture methane gas from decomposing waste to generate electricity.
