Tipping into an active landfill cell. Temporary cover can be seen in the foreground, and beyond the tipping refuse vehicles a "compactor" vehicle stands ready to spread crush and compress the freshly deposited waste.

Here’s a very active landfill cell. While the heavy compactor machine works on the day’s rubbish running over it with special cutting wheels to squash and compress the waste, other trucks tip dark gery coloured restoration capping material. In the background sand can be seen in the active sand quarrying part of the site. As the sand is removed and sold for construction, new waste void is created for future landfilling. The waste is placed in cells. Each cell is lined to contain the gas and dirty water (leachate) which is produced when it rains on the compacted rubbish.

Here’s a small landfill cell which has been lined with clay to contain leachate, the black “cube” like structures have been built to allow methane gas to be drawn off to a landfill gas flare. Leachate collection from the base is from additional drains on the base of the cell not yet constructed at the time the photo was taken. Click here to see more landfills during construction
