Landfill remains the main method of disposing waste in England. Although many businesses, councils and households have got the message about recycling, around 45% all refuse is still dumped into a hole in the ground and covered over. Waste to landfill has declined steadily in the past decade years, but still remains relatively high.

Landfill facts

Landfill for household waste has declined form and incredible 79% at the turn of the century to slightly less than half in 2022. Much of the decline can be attributed to UK and European directives urging an increase in recycling and other means of disposal. The Landfill Directive set targets to reduce the amount of waste going to landfill, the Landfill Tax of 1996 encouraged commercial operators to take steps in the right direction.

Landfill remains however an important part of disposal regimes for materials that cannot be recycled or disposed of by any other means. Landfill sites are constructed and operated to strict standards in order to reduce environmental effects, and most types of waste may be disposed of via landfill. Strict landfill directives mean that the amount of waste – and particularly hazardous waste – is being reduced, while operators are encouraged to recover what value they can from waste.

How do landfills work?

First the waste is checked to make sure it is compliant with current operating permits.

Rubbish is then tipped onto the site, compacted and covered. This is to mitigate any smells and pests.

The waste is then left to decompose. The decomposition process will result in gasses, notably methane, which has to be vented to safety. It is the evolving of gasses that makes former landfill sites generally unsuitable for further development for some time. One tonne of waste will produce at least 200 cubic metres of gas.

When the site reaches its capacity, it will be covered over with clay and other soils in a “cap”, which will eventually allow the land to be re-used for agriculture or other purposes.

Approximately 45% of Britain’s methane emissions come from landfill sites. However, careful management mean that increasing amounts of the UK’s electricity supply comes from gasses recovered from landfill.

Waste from household waste recycling centres

The waste is bulked and taken to recycling or final disposal facilities. Councils don't own or run any waste processing or disposal facilities themselves.

Waste into to energy

Waste that is not reused, recycled or composted goes to a plant near Maidstone, which turns it into energy. It is burnt under controlled conditions to produce steam that is used to generate electricity. Find out more from the Kent Enviropower website.

Closed landfill sites

Kent County Council manage and maintain 19 closed landfill sites to ensure they comply with environmental standards.

Most of the sites have been closed and restored for over 30 years but still need to ensure that any gasses and contaminated water caused by the rotting down of organic matter is collected and treated. This might be by burning off potentially harmful gas or by treating contaminated water from the site.

Landfill gas has the potential to suffocate or cause explosions in confined spaces. Contaminated water can present a risk to ground and surface water sources if not properly managed.

Landfill sites offer the potential for informal recreation or grazing of animals once they have been fully restored.
