Landfill Compaction Do's and Don'ts

摘要

Effective landfill compaction maximizes the amount of waste that can be placed in the minimal amount of space. In short, it's all about airspace and density. It's also about costs. Failure to maximize airspace shortens a landfill's lifespan, resulting in added costs related to emissions, water control, and the resources to build a new cell with a liner.
