The Pre-Regulatory Landfill (PRLF) program was established in 2007 to address pre-1983 non-industrial landfills and dumps. A pre-regulatory landfill is defined as any land area, whether publicly or privately owner, on which municipal solid waste disposal occurred prior to January 1, 1983, but not thereafter and does not include any landfill used primarily for industrial solid waste. The PRLF program conducts the assessment and remediation of these sites directly. Local governments may conduct the assessment work and seek reimbursement of expenses if the work was pre-approved by the Program.To learn more about the PRLF program, visit their website HERE

This dataset is currently updated every 6 months. Data on landfill sites that are surrendered or revoked will move from the Authorised Landfill Layer but may not be updated into this dataset on the same frequency.

This data is a national historic landfill dataset that defines the location of and provides specific attributes for known historic landfill sites. An historic landfill is a site where there is no environmental permit in force. The Environment Agency is not the regulator for historic landfills. The dataset includes sites that existed before landfills were regulated. Much of this pre-licensing data was derived from a national survey in the early 1990s so it may be incomplete. It also includes sites that were licensed (permitted) where that licence is no longer in force, in accordance with the legislation at the time. The Historic Landfill dataset includes information that is held by either the local authority or the Environment Agency. The data is available in ESRI shape file format, with the boundaries digitised from a base scale of 1:10,000 and an associated attribute table comprising 34 fields. Where information is available, the polygons and attributes describe where the sites were located, when they were used, who used them and what was deposited. Where sites were licensed, there are name and address fields, licensee and operator information, licence issue and surrender dates, first and last input dates and waste types, together with some historical comments. Where an attribute is incomplete, that detail is not available.

This data set defines both current and historic landfills/waste disposal storage sites for the State of Vermont. Historic landfills were identified with the publication of the Vermont Ground Water Pollution Source Inventory by the Agency of Environmental Conservation, Department of Water Resources and Environmental Engineering Water Quality Division, December 1980. Current landfill locations supplied by the Solid Waste Division of the Vermont Agency of Natural Resources, Department of Environmental Conservation.This dataset includes: active landfills - currently accepting waste, geo-located; closed landfills- ceased accepting waste and completed closure under solid waste regulations (post-1988), geo-located; historic landfills - ceased accepting waste prior to solid waste regulation implementation (pre-1988), locations obtained from a 1990 Vermont Groundwater Pollution Source Inventory completed by the Department of Waster Resources and Environmental Engineering Groundwater Management Section. The listing of historic landfills is likely incomplete.

Under the Town and Country Planning (General Development Procedure) Order 1995 Local Planning Authorities have to consult with the Environment Agency about all applications they receive to develop land within 250 metres of landfill sites (including any land that has been used as a landfill site within the past 30 years or is likely to be used as one in the near future). The Historic Landfill dataset was created to help fulfil our statutory responsibility to Local Planning Authorities by supplying information on the risks posed by landfill sites for development within 250m. The data is the most comprehensive and consistent national historic landfill dataset and defines the location of, and provides specific attributes for, known historic (closed) landfill sites, i.e. sites where there is no PPC permit or waste management licence currently in force. This includes sites that existed before the waste licensing regime and sites that have been licensed in the past but where this licence has been revoked, ceased to exist or surrendered and a certificate of completion has been issued. Historic Landfill includes all relevant historic information for the sites that both local authorities and the Environment Agency have collected over the yearsAdditional Links:DEFRA Data Services Platform - containing download linksHistoric Landfill WMSHistoric Landfill WFS

The MassDEP Solid Waste Disposal Datalayers were compiled by the MA Department of Environmental Protection (MassDEP) to track the locations of land disposal and combustion of solid waste.This statewide service contains all ACTIVE combustion and land disposal facilities currently regulated under MassDEP's solid waste regulations (310 CMR 16.000 and 19.000). Active combustion facilities are represented as points. Active landfill footprints are represented as polygons; point symbology provides waste type information and facility name labels. This statewide service does not include unregulated dumping grounds, inactive or closed landfills or incinerators/combustion facilities.See full metadata.Map service also available.

Locations of Solid Waste Landfill Facilities for emergency response and recovery efforts. Significant amounts of debris must be removed from impacted areas in order to facilitate access to these locations, begin the restoration process, and start the reconstruction of damaged and/or destroyed buildings in the impact zones. This dataset was developed to locate Solid Waste facilities, to which debris can be directed. This layer was initiated, based on NAICS and SIC codes, by extracting landfills from the EPA Facility Registry System (FRS) contained in HSIP Gold 2012. This collection is being supplemented, edited, and amended by source data from individual states. Initial and previous collection efforts were limited to landfills that accept Municipal Solid Waste and/or Construction and Demolition Debris, but some of the features from the initial collection were found to have been misclassified; these have been adjusted accordingly (namely, a single C&D type versus Industrial waste facilities). This collection effort focused on expanding the Type domain to include Transfer Station Facilities. All new solid waste features must be considered active facilities based on state source data or state permit at the time of release. Already-existing solid waste dataset features that have become inactive or closed since the initial release are noted as such.

The WMS Service (Web Map Service) called “Waste landfills” allows the visualisation and consultation of the data set that represent the cartography included in this service contains the location of existing waste landfills in Spain. A landfill is a waste disposal facility by means of its underground or surface storage, for periods of time longer than those considered for temporary storage. Royal Decree 1481/2001 of 27 December 2001 regulating the disposal of waste by landfilling classifies landfills into three categories according to the type of waste deposited: landfill for hazardous waste, landfill for non-hazardous waste and landfill for inert waste. These data have been obtained from three sources: 1.-Register of producers and waste managers (RPGR) based on the obligation of the Autonomous Communities to register these facilities, based on the provisions of Law 22/2011, on waste and contaminated soils. 2.- State Register of Emissions and Pollutant Sources (PRTR), linked to the Industrial Emissions Directive (IED) and which contains landfills of hazardous and non-hazardous waste with a capacity exceeding 10 tons/day or 25,000 tons. 3.-The data have also been collected directly from those responsible for the Autonomous Communities. The data collected are updated as of May 2018.

In 2018, the United States had 1,269 municipal waste landfills. Most of the landfills in the United States were located on the West Coast.

Landfills
Landfills or dumps are one of the most common forms of waste treatment in the world. It is the oldest type of waste treatment technique and is still used as a form of waste management. At these sites, waste is broken down into smaller parts and is either compacted or buried with layers of soil and other organic materials. This process is essential to extending the life of landfills. Waste is often brought to landfills by waste collection vehicles. However, countries such as Germany, Austria, Sweden, Denmark, Belgium, and Switzerland have banned the disposal of waste in landfills. Only hazardous waste is allowed to be deposited. The largest landfill in the world was the Estrutural, located in Brazil.

Landfills in the United States
Landfills in the United States are regulated by each state’s environmental agency, however they are all required to abide by the standards set by the Environmental Protection Agency. Food, yard trimmings, and inorganic wastes made up the highest amount of waste material in 2018 that was discarded into the municipal waste stream in the United States.

In the fiscal year 2023, the remaining capacity of landfill sites for final waste disposal in Japan stood at approximately **** cubic hectometers. The remaining capacity decreased compared to around ***** cubic hectometers in 2014.
