Municipal solid waste (MSW) landfills are one of the major and most preferred waste management options in the United States and many other countries across the globe. The waste in conventional MSW landfills undergoes very slow decomposition due to limited amount of moisture. In this regard, the...

This paper presents the results of an experimental study carried out in field-scale test cells in order to determine the effect of aeration and leachate recirculation on waste decomposition rate, solid waste characteristics, landfill gas composition and settlement in the landfill body. Four landfill...

The conventional landfilling does not promote sustainable waste management due to uncontrolled emissions which potentially degrade the environment. In this regard, pre-treatment of municipal solid waste prior to landfilling significantly enhance waste stabilization and provides various advantages...
