Every day, the world's population is growing. At the same time, people's needs are growing. In today's world, humanity does more harm than good to the environment. One of the most pressing problems is waste disposal. The easiest way is to create a landfill.
Instruction manual
1
The phased creation of a landfill consists of several main points: the choice of an alternative - processing and disposal, the choice of location (landfill), the method of landfill, maintaining the landfill in good condition.
2
Keep in mind that in the modern world, landfill is not just waste disposal in a designated place. This is their maximum use as secondary raw materials, fertilizers and, ultimately, disposal as residues of unused product. The ideal option is a processing plant and a landfill or quarry in the same territory.
3
The choice of location for a legal landfill must take into account, first of all, the remoteness from the city line. It is not less than 100 km from the city. It should not be near water bodies of different origin, in places of occurrence of natural minerals. In other words, in places with which a person can contact.
4
Be sure to develop a land use project and get a State Act on the right to use land allocated for landfill.
5
The ideal solution for the location of the landfill is a former quarry for mining. If there is none, then the landfill, which is a ravine with a clay bottom, is also a good choice. Groundwater should be at a depth of not less than 2 meters.
6
The landfill surface should make the landfill safe for the environment, i.e. prevent contact with soil and groundwater. Durable polyethylene, synthetic plastic, clay soils are used for insulation. A drainage system for collecting leachate and a drainage tray should also be provided.
7
Consider how much airspace will be on the landfill. The duration of use of the landfill depends on this. Use the heavy garbage compacting method. First, a layer of fresh debris is poured, then a layer of soil and so on until a dense coating is formed. All this is done in small sections until the polygon is completely filled.
8
Consider installing ventilation wells to control the movement of gases generated by rotting. A prerequisite is the creation of a fence to detain light fractions of waste.
9
In addition to all the requirements for the proper organization of the landfill, provide control over the accounting and reception of waste. Observe the condition of the landfill, with an interval of 10 days, inspect the territories adjacent to the landfill. Clean if necessary.
Useful advice
If you still decide to create a landfill, think about what it’s really worth burying, and what else you can earn from and recycle.
