Introduced by Tony Robinson, this video describes in simple terms the operation of a landfill

If we are to begin building a sustainable future it is important to understand what happens to our waste after it is thrown in the skip, where it goes and the role landfill will have to play for some time to come.

Tracing the story step-by-step, beginning on an early rubbish tip or 'midden' and concluding on a modern landfill, the programme illustrates:

• good practice
• landfill design
• why  landfills need liners
• why methane is produced (and how to deal with it)
• odour control
• how to deter unwelcome guests such as seagulls and other birds

This video will provide a useful addition to your training resources when it comes to the subject of waste.
