Landfill

What is a Landfill? 

Landfills are specially constructed sites designed so waste can be safely and effectively disposed. North Carolina has the following types of landfills: municipal solid waste, industrial waste, construction and demolition, land clearing and inert debris.

Municipal solid waste landfills accept waste commonly known as "garbage," among other items. They are not allowed to take liquids or hazardous waste.

Only lined municipal solid waste landfills accept household waste.

Why Have A Landfill At All?

Recycling, reducing waste and reusing items can greatly reduce the amount of waste created, but people keep generating more and more. Composting can take care of some materials, but the remaining waste items need to be disposed of safely.

Before waste was regulated, people routinely dumped trash into lakes, streams and ravines. This practice caused human sickness nearby and downstream. Proper waste disposal protects human health and the environment.

What’s "municipal solid waste?"

Garbage, household hazardous waste and a host of other items thrown out by people and corporations are called "municipal waste." MSW landfills are not allowed to take hazardous waste, liquids, tires or large appliances, which are also called "white goods."
