Incineration and Landfills

Incineration is a waste treatment method that involves the combustion of waste and, in certain cases, energy recovery from the heat generated. Incineration is a different approach that is usually employed when there is a huge amount of garbage and bulky heterogeneous waste that needs to be treated. Incineration is a thermal waste treatment technique that is best described as a controlled combustion process with the primary goal of reducing waste volume and recovering energy. Incineration is an ex-situ thermal treatment method that uses a high temperature (870–1200 °C) to burn hazardous organic compounds in the soil. This method is incapable of destroying metals.

A landfill site, sometimes referred to as a tip, dump, rubbish dump, garbage dump, or dumping ground, is a location where waste items are disposed of. Although systematic burying of waste with daily, intermediate, and ultimate covers only began in the 1940s, landfill is the oldest and most widespread form of waste disposal. In the past, trash was simply piled up or dumped into pits; this is referred to as a midden in archaeology. Some landfills are used for garbage management, such as temporary storage, consolidation, and transfer, as well as for various stages of trash processing, such as sorting, treatment, or recycling. During an earthquake, landfills may experience significant shaking or soil liquefaction if they are not stabilised.
