Question

If you live in a town or city, do you know where the nearest landfill site is?

Answer 1

Part 1: Landfill
Landfills are areas that have been specially assigned for dumping municipal solid waste generated from homes, offices, stores etc. The waste is first reduced by volume by compaction and then dumped in a trench. This is then covered with dirt.

Part 2: Location of landfill sites
Landfills are usually located in remote areas away from wetlands, water sources, highways, flood plains, and residential areas.
