GinnyAnswer

Final answer:

Landfills require land, produce energy from captured gases, and undergo monitoring post-closure. Incinerators emit toxins, generate ash, and produce electricity by burning waste.


Explanation:

Landfills vs. Incinerators

Landfills:

  • Require a substantial amount of land
  • Drain liquids into the ground
  • Generate energy through captured landfill gases
  • Develop biogas through anaerobic degradation, used for energy production
  • Undergo gas and water monitoring even after closure
  • Can be transformed into recreational areas after closure

Incinerators:

  • Release toxins through combustion
  • Produce ash after incineration
  • Transfer waste into incinerator for combustion to generate electricity
  • Use heat from trash combustion to produce steam for electricity
  • Remove pollutants from emissions before release
  • Dispose of combustion ashes in landfills
