A landfill site (also known as a tip, dump, or rubbish dump; and, historically, as a midden) is a site for the disposal of solid waste materials by burial. It is the oldest form of waste treatment. Historically, landfills have been the most common method of organized waste disposal and remain so in many places around the world.

MSW means garbage, refuse, and similar solid waste material discarded from residential, commercial, institutional, and industrial sources. MSW consists of everyday items such as product packaging, grass clippings, furniture, clothing, bottles, food scraps, and more. When buried in a landfill, these materials decompose, producing leachate (garbage juice) and landfill gas. Both must be controlled and monitored to protect public health, safety, and the environment.
