Answer

The problems associated with landfills are:

  1. Landfills give out a bad odour and affects people living or working nearby.
  2. Landfills can contaminate the surrounding water supplies, aquifers and soil by leachate.
  3. Landfills create explosive methane gas during the decomposition of waste by bacteria, which can damage plants by leaking into the surrounding soil.
