While the EPA and other local and federal organizations regulate landfill use and maintenance, there are still landfills that do not meet these requirements. Even closed landfills may still continue to contaminate the surrounding environment. LEED recycling is one way that construction and demolition professionals can avoid landfill-related problems while making their projects sustainable and environmentally conscious.
How Landfills Work
Landfills are designed to contain many forms of waste and isolate it from the surrounding environment. A landfill has a finite capacity, and several layers are often constructed and separated by clay. When a landfill is at capacity, it must be covered and closed. Leachate, a natural byproduct of landfills, must be removed on a regular basis to prevent contaminating the surrounding environment.
Problems with Landfills
Landfills are intended to contain trash, not naturally decompose it. Without the appropriate lining and regular care, leachate can enter the surrounding area and potentially contaminate groundwater. Methane and other gases are often commonly produced and can be released into the air if not appropriately collected. Even a well-maintained landfill will only be able to hold so much garbage, at which point a new one needs to be constructed.
LEED Recycling and Waste Reduction
The best way to avoid the problems associated with landfills is to not contribute to them in the first place. LEED recycling is designed to recover as many materials as possible from various projects, including construction, demolition, and renovations. This sustainable recycling practice actively sorts and repurposes as much of the materials as possible. This greatly reduces waste and returns raw materials to the recycling process rather than the waste stream. With the right dumpster rental company, using landfills can be avoided entirely.

The messiest part of home renovations is the demolition phase. Demolition is often the fastest part of any renovation or construction project, especially if you have a lot of bodies to help out with the heavy work. Unfortunately, that means that the garbage can pile up pretty quickly if you don’t have enough dumpsters to contain all of the waste. Watch this video to learn more about the demolition phase of a home renovation project.
