In an effort to address the growing issue of garbage disposal, local and federal authorities may think about piggybacking—reopening closed landfill waste regions. By doing this, the environmental impact of building new facilities may be lessened. Using such a method makes it possible to technically transform the location into a dependable and secure location for the storage of fresh garbage.
The fact that the current landfill capping or barrier systems are constructed over areas with non-homogeneous geotechnical features, such as trash, makes it clear that this calls for caution, expertise, and specific solutions. These are characterised by significant environmental dangers, such as chemical and organic pollutants, as well as significant differential settlements.
