Abstract Landfill is the cheapest method of domestic waste disposal but the amount disposed of in this way has declined in recent years. This decline in landfill is due principally to the unavailability of acceptable tipping sites. Up to 30% of land taken for sand and gravel extraction may not be restored to a productive use in the absence of fill material. Domestic waste is often available to reclaim derelict sand and gravel quarries, but unsubstantiated fears of tip leachate polluting groundwaters has prevented its use for this purpose.
