About Landfills
Landfills are a sanitary site intended for the disposal of waste and refuse. The waste material is placed into the landfill and covered with soil. Landfills can be used for all different types of waste, unlike monofills, which are typically only used for one. The landfill process is not as eco-friendly because it is almost impossible to separate the waste into different materials to recycle.

The monofill process allows for something that a typical landfill does not, the ability to use the waste stored there in the future when a recycling process for that material is developed. The hope with a monofill is that it is just a temporary storage facility for waste that is to be recycled later. [Read More]
