landfill site

Landfill

A landfill site is a site for the disposal of waste materials by burial and is the oldest form of waste treatment.

A landfill also may refer to ground that has been filled in with rocks instead of waste materials, so that it can be used for a specific purpose, such as for building houses. Unless they are stabilized, these areas may experience severe shaking or liquefaction of the ground during a large earthquake.
