Solution:
Sanitary landfills
- These were adopted as the substitute for open-burning dumps.
- In a sanitary landfill, all collected wastes are dumped in a depression (or trench) and compaction is done followed by covering with dirt every day.
- Landfills are also not really much of a solution since the amount of garbage generation especially in the metros has increased so much that these sites are getting filled too. Also, there is a danger of seepage of chemicals, etc., from these landfills polluting the underground water resources.
