Bien que les sites d'enfouissement de plus petite envergure ne puissent généralement pas se permettre de l'équipement de compactage dispendieux, les techniciens (ou opérateurs) peuvent utiliser la machinerie lourde disponible pour effectuer le compactage. Afin de conserver davantage la capacité, il est important d'utiliser les matériaux de recouvrement efficacement. 2, record 1, French, - mat%C3%A9riau%20de%20couverture
