Local and federal authorities, seeking to solve the increasing problem of disposal of waste materials, can consider re-opening abandoned landfill waste areas; referred to as Piggybacking. This can reduce the environmental impact resulting from the construction of new facilities. Such a technique enables the technical redevelopment of the site into a safe and reliable facility for the storage of new waste materials.<\/p><\/p><\/div><\/div><\/div>

The challenges of piggybacking<\/p>


<\/p>

Clearly, this requires care, knowledge and specific solutions because the existing landfill capping or barrier systems are built upon areas that have non-homogeneous geotechnical characteristics; i.e. waste. These are subject to considerable differential settlements and are also characterised by considerable environmental hazards including chemical and organic pollutants. <\/p>
