Solution

Landfill is a large area used for waste disposal. It is a method of managing a large amount of biodegradable waste.

Waste having both useful and non-useful components is collected in trucks and dumped in a landfill. The non-useful components are separated out. The waste is then spread over the landfill and covered with soil. Once the landfill is completely filled, it is converted into a park or play ground.
