Define landfilling.

Open in App
Solution

Landfilling is a method of management of non-biodegradable waste by which waste is dumped in low-lying land in order to reclaim the land. These sites, called landfills, are then covered with a layer of soil. With the passage of time, landfills are converted into construction sites, parks or playgrounds.
