- (C) Industrial wastes of unknown content are often commingled with
domestic wastes in sanitary landfills. Groundwater infiltration and
contamination of water supplies with toxic chemicals have recently led to
more active control of landfills and industrial waste disposal. Careful
management of sanitary landfills, such as providing for leachate and runoff
treatment as well as daily coverage with topsoil, has stopped most of the
problems of open dumping. In many areas, however, space for landfills is
running out, and alternatives must be found.
