Sanitary Landfills vs. Trench Landfills: Understanding Waste Disposal Methods

A sanitary landfill is a disposal site where trash is buried in layers, compacted to reduce its volume, and covered with soil. This method helps prevent the spread of diseases and pollution.

Trench landfill

A trench landfill is a type of landfill where trash is buried in trenches that are dug in the ground. This method is less common than sanitary landfills because it is less effective in preventing the spread of diseases and pollution.
