A sanitary municipal landfill consists of a bottom liner (plastic or clay), a storm water collection system, a leachate collection system, a cap, and a methane collection system. However, landfills can contaminate groundwater, cause leachate pollution, and release harmful gases. Solid waste can also be disposed of through incineration, where waste is burned at high temperatures.
