Méthode de mise en décharge contrôlée qui consiste à stocker les déchets en vrac dans des excavations longitudinales pratiquées à ciel ouvert dans le sol, à les comprimer au maximum à l'aide d'engins spéciaux et à les recouvrir d'une couche de sol.

Les sites d'implantation d'une décharge [contrôlée] sont très divers; [...]. Si le terrain est plat, on aura recours soit à la méthode en tranchées, soit à la méthode en monticule. Si le terrain est en creux (carrière, vallée) ou en pente, on aura recours à la méthode en surface.
