Development of Territories Used as Landfills for Municipal Solid Waste

Abstract

Multiple methods of development of landfills are available: recreation-based, forestry-based, landscaping etc. But due to the environmental profile of waste-affected areas, forests and parks can hardly be made there. The alternative to those common methods is the construction-based development, i.e. building such facilities as waste sorting stations, ballast and junk fraction briquetting facilities, as well as plants for recycling of construction waste into recycled crushed aggregates and facilities for the decontamination of contaminated soil by grate firing or dumping. This material offers principal theses for feasibility of the constructionbased development of MSW-affected areas, also groups of indicators for comprehensive assessment of the landfill body state are presented.
