Solution

Sanitary landfills

Explanation:

In a sanitary landfill, solid municipal waste is spread out in thin layers, compressed mechanically, and covered daily with a fresh layer of soil or earth. This engineered barrier isolates the trash from the environment, minimizing foul odours, preventing pest infestations, and reducing hazardous environmental pollution.
