A large number of environmental impacts may occur due to the landfill operations. There can be accidents where scavengers get buried under waste piles, pollution, release of methane and carbon dioxide, and harbouring of diseases by rats or flies.
As landfill sites must be licensed by Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), they won't cause pollution if operated correctly. Special training is required for the correct operation and management of these sites.
