Los vertederos tradicionales [...] lugar en el que se [acumulan] las basuras. Al no tener ningún tipo de medida sanitaria especial, se llenan de ratas, se incendian, despiden malos olores y humos, y contaminan los acuíferos subterráneos y las aguas superficiales. [...] Un vertedero controlado es un agujero en el que se compacta e impermeabiliza tanto el fondo como los laterales. En estos vertederos la basura se coloca en capas y se recubre todos los días con un delgada capa de tierra para dificultar la proliferación de ratas y malos olores y disminuir el riesgo de incendios. En este tipo de vertederos se instalan sofisticados sistemas de drenaje para las aguas que rezuman y para los gases (metano) que se producen.
