Landfill sites have usually been constructed in disused quarries, or parts of quarries. However, the phrase is also used to describe sites built where there had previously been no excavation. Such sites are also known as “land-raise” sites, but in the context of this website, no distinction has been made. To all practical intents and purposes, there is no significant difference between landfill and land-raise.
