A site for the disposal of waste materials by burial and is the oldest form of waste treatment

Incineration is a waste treatment process that involves the combustion of organic substances contained in waste materials.

Ocean dumping is the dumping or placing of materials in designated places in the ocean, often on the continental shelf.

Recycling is processing used materials (waste) into new products to prevent waste of potentially useful materials, reduce the consumption of fresh raw materials, reduce energy usage, reduce air pollution (from incineration) and water pollution (from landfilling) by reducing the need for "conventional" waste disposal, and lower greenhouse gas emissions as compared to virgin production.

LOAD-COUNT ANALYSIS
The quantity and composition of solid waste are determined by recording the estimated volume and general composition of each load of waste delivered to a landfill or transfer station during a specified period of time.

MASS VOLUME ANALYSIS This method of analysis is similar to above method with added feature of the mass of each load is recorded.
