Bioreactor Landfills

One type of landfill, called a bioreactor landfill, uses speeded up microbiological processes to break down, or decompose, organic waste. This type of landfill takes about 5 to 10 years to break down material, instead of 30 to 100 years in a traditional "dry" landfill. This speeding up of the decomposition process helps decrease the long-term environmental impacts of the landfill.
