What Happens in a Landfill
What happens to your garbage in a landfill? If you are like most of us, you probably
haven't given it much thought.
In the Central Okanagan, garbage is taken to either the Glenmore or Westside Landfills.
At the landfills the trucks are directed to the working face of the landfill to
dump their loads. The garbage is then evenly spread and compressed by a large compacter.
At the end of each day the working area, or cell, is covered with soil to reduce
litter, odours, and pest |
