The placement of waste in a landfill will slowly degrade over time, and in the case of the presence of [[Organic Waste]] within the [[Residual Waste]] going to landfill, it will breakdown to produce '''Landfill Gas''' and '''Leachate''' which have the potential to cause environmental pollution. As a result the selection of the site and the engineering and containment design to protect the environment, and specifically underlying groundwater, is critical to the successful delivery of a modern landfill. | The placement of waste in a landfill will slowly degrade over time, and in the case of the presence of [[Organic Waste]] within the [[Residual Waste]] going to landfill, it will breakdown to produce '''[[Landfill Gas]]''' and '''[[Leachate]]''' which have the potential to cause environmental pollution.
