ABSTRACT:
A landfill compaction system and method reduces the volume of landfill at an existing landfill site by essentially sealing off at least a portion of the landfill and utilizing a source of vacuum to extract gases from the sealed-off portion of the landfill, the extraction taking place relatively rapidly so as to make use of the sudden impact of atmospheric pressure upon the sealed-off portion to assist in the compaction of the landfill.
