ABSTRACT:
A method of increasing the capacity of an existing landfill to enable the disposal of additional material therein includes excavating material disposed in the existing landfill, separating from the excavated material one or more components thereof, comminuting the components of the excavated material which are not removed by the previous step, and placing the comminuted material back into the landfill.
