Rubbish is a major kind of environmental pollution.Each person produces about twokilograms of rubbish in our homes a day.And this is only a small part of all the rubbish weproduce.We also create waste in industry.
Have you wondered what happens to the rubbish？ Most of it is buried(填埋) in landfillsor burned.Less than 25% of our waste is recycled(回收利用).
A landfill(垃圾填埋厂) is carefully designed and it is built into or on top of the ground.
Rubbish buried in landfills is cut off from the surrounding environment (groundwater，air，rain，etc).
One problem with landfills is that they cover a lot of land space.If they are not wellbuilt，there is a high risk of polluting the land and water.Some people also say that landfillsremove materials for ever.As a result，the materials that can be reused are wasted.
