Is an engineering project implemented for the disposal of waste. Its design and operation is aimed to apply different techniques and procedures to avoid eventual negative environmental effects. A sanitary landfill has to have a waterproof lining system to guarantee the containment of the liquids generated in the waste degradation process and its potential filtration to underground water sources. Finally, a sanitary landfill has to be physically isolated to prevent the access of non-authorized personnel, it must have a biogas control system and a percolated liquids extraction and treatment system.
